A Few of My Favorite Things

When the dog bites When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad (because I don't have a job)
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad...
Along with "cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels" here are a few of my favorite things.
1. Rita's Italian Ice H…

Shannon's Summer Workout

So in a previous post I wrote about how I don't really exercise... at all (basically shopping is my cardio). Now it's not that I don't like the way I look but I have been feeling pretty lethargic and just plain out of shape. I used to do ballet and since I stopped that I really have no…

Blame Charter

I am sorry Blog followers. I have been a bad blogger. My internet broke...thank you Charter.
In other news who watched the Bachelorette?? This season looks crazy dramatic. I feel like each new season gets more and more extreme. This season be sure to watch for: arrests, secret girlfriends, hospita…

"No, I'm Sorry She Just Ironed It"

I just remembered this really funny thing that happened to me. It was actually more frustrating at the time, but looking back I can definitely laugh. While doing some shopping the other day I was reminded of an interesting shopping experience that my mom and I had in England.
Once upon a time... My…

Tuesday Tunes: I Loved College

These are songs that no matter where I go will always remind me of tailgates, dancing in the basement of the fraternity house, beach weekends, movie nights with the girls, formals, road trips, moving onto campus, tiny dorm rooms, late nights in the art building, roommates, sisters, cookouts, laying…

Beach Reads

There is nothing better than sitting on the beach with a good book. I really had no time during the school year to read for fun so here are some the books I've finally gotten around to reading.
Sarah's Key My mom gave me this for Christmas and I just read it two days ago. But Oh. My. Goodne…

Goodbye College, Hello Vacation

I am a college graduate. I wonder if people can tell when they look at me? Surely I look different. And here I am with the happy family. The actual ceremony was a blur. I was out of my chair and across that stage before I knew what was up. I'm pretty sure I was majorly cheesing it, I just coul…

Tuesday Tunes: Summertime is Calling Me!

"Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea Want to look through my shades and see you there with me Want to soak up life for a while In laid back mode No boss, no polite, no stress, no dress code..."
Thank you Kenny Chesney, I couldn't have said it better myself! I am finally free and …

I Love You Mom!

Mom... I can never put into words how much I love you, but I am going to do my best. You are my biggest fan, the best support system I could ask for (and I didn't even have to ask). I know you are always praying for me and loving (even from a far). I so admire your positivity, your faithfulness a…

Let the Commencement Commence

Yep... that's right folks.
Today is my college graduation day!
I just absolutely cannot believe it. I keep thinking I'm going to get an email saying "oops sorry we made a mistake" or "actually you didn't pass this class so never mind, you have to stay."
I paid all…

Tuesday Tunes: Bonnaroo

I Want To Go!
So Badly!
Bonnaroo is a 4 day festival in Manchester, TN and I want to go more than I can put into words! Tickets are kind of pricy (around $250 dollars) but that gets you access to all 4 days of concerts and the campgrounds. Here is the AMAZING lineup! (The one's highlighted are th…
