a house divided

so that whole blogtober thing lasted a whole... day... oops. i decided i didn't really like any of their prompts so i just didn't do it and then you know, that whole life thing happened and all of a sudden it was november. how did that happen?? this whole time change thing has got me like 

am i right? but moving on to more important things, let me catch you up on my life. first things first 4 weeks until i am done with classes for the semester. and only 7 saturdays till christmas. now that we have that out of the way...

a couple weeks ago my family met up in knoxville for the ut/bama game, obviously the pros won but the vols did play a good game. i even said at the end of the game how fast it went by because i actually paid attention since it was interesting (besides the first quarter).

sorry for the picture overload, i am too lazy right now to combine and down size but the most important thing is that we got our christmas card photo and i ordered them for mother this past weekend.

roll tide and see y'all here real soon!

summertime blogging

well i officially stink at blogging in the summer... i'm really not any better at it during the school year but i am officially bad at it in the summer. to give you a quick brief of what i have been up to is that...

i am still taking my online class, however i am taking my final this friday!! i finished the class about two weeks early so that's nice.

i went to atlanta a couple of weeks ago to visit my brother and we went to the aquarium! it was really fun and i wouldn't mind going back one day.

after atlanta i made a pit stop for a night in tuscaloosa to check on our apartment and cat, needless to say i think she missed me :)

most of my family made it to florida for the 4th, we have celebrated the 4th in florida for many summers. we go to a park and eat at yummy food trucks until the fireworks go off and we are back home about 10 minutes after they stop, perks of a small town with not a lot of traffic.

since the 4th i have been at home just working on my class and soaking up my last few weeks of summer. we have had a few stressful days here though, my cat got very sick very quickly. he had to stay in the hospital for two nights and then was discharged the third day. the catch is that he now has a feeding tube for who knows how long, but he has shown A LOT of improvement so us and his doctor are crossing our fingers for a quick removal of it (as long as he is 100% healthy and won't need it at all anymore).

in a couple weeks im driving up to charlotte to see MILEY!! i was supposed to see her in april but we were the first concert she cancelled of her many cancelled tour dates. luckily i have awesome parents who waited for them to come back on sale and got me them again! YAY! so excited!! right after the concert i drive back to atlanta for a relay conference and i am almost as excited for that as i am the concert.

so after that recap, i hope to stick with a better blogging schedule, i've missed it!

throw back thursday

three years ago this week i graduated highschool, can't believe how fast time is flying!

blogmopolitan quiz: a link up

i've been following two thirds hazel for a while now and i just love her witty sense of humor. when she first did her own version of a cosmo quiz i was cracking up at her answers. well she brought it back for a round two in a link up form and i figured, why not participate in my very first link up! hope it works! 

here are my answers to her blogmopolitan quiz, why not link up with two thirds hazel or comment your answers below?

the beginning

welcome to messy buns and yoga pants!

i am a twenty-something, junior in college studying early childhood education at the university of alabama. i was raised in the volunteer state and sometimes you can still find me bleeding orange.

i have a special love for little babies and children and every day that i spend with them is a great day. kate spade, japanese food, and target are some easy ways into my heart. i have a hermit crab, olivia, who i bought as a "when in rome" (or florida) and 5 years later she's still kicking.

i like to use lower case letters, i have a slight obsession with washi tape, and my best friend is my cat. i love to cheer on my school at football games and gymnastics meets, i am a tucker at pure barre, and just recently i am a vegetarian.

my friends and family mean the world to me and without them i would have nothing.

so join me on this journey of finishing school and having some fun in between; but first lets all throw our hair into messy buns and put on some yoga pants.

cheers and kisses,
patty
