In need of a new Do!

For all of my designer friends I need help...my blog needs help that is! I was looking at it today and was really excited to see that I have 48 followers! Ok...I know compared to most of you bloggers, that number is quite sad, but for me, being fairly new in the blog world, I couldn't be more thrilled!
I feel I am obligated to re-vamp my blog...but HeLp! I would say that I am 99% of the time technically savvy, but this blog throws me for a whirl! I do not know how to have "stuff" on both the left and right.
So to all you beautiful bloggers, help Lola and me create eye candy on our little blog!
Cheers to a great weekend...mine will be full of studying studying studying with a bit of working at PINK on the side! I leave you with a piece of eye candy from my favorite artist, Sally.
XOXO,
JM

Too Cute to Eat

They've done it again! Lilly has now teamed up with Barnum's Animal Crackers to go with your Lilly Ruby Red! What will they come up with the next??

Wedding Belles

Guess what...Guess what!!!!
I am.............unfortunately NOT getting married, but recently I keep coming across all of these beautiful things and I must say I have turned into quite a geek. I have started compiling a special folder on my computer for all of the wedding gowns and images that I adore for that special day. When is going to be you may ask...I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE! I am not even dating anyone! hint hint...calling all single cute bachelors!
I realized that I never really chat about my dating life, or lack thereof. I often getting really frustrated with not meeting anyone and living in such a small town where the cutest guy happens to be a UPS driver, and big bummer has a precious wife. I will be the first to admit that I do a pretty lousy job of putting myself out there. Maybe that will be one of my goals for this coming spring!
Ok so back to my files...I have to share these beyond gorgeous wedding gowns. I do not know if I would choose to wear some of them, but they definitely make my heart go "pitter patter." If worst comes to worst I can always pull my debutante dress out and pretend. Pitiful, I know.

ENJOY a little bit of Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera!

XOXO,
JM
PS...anyone see Martha yesterday???

The Pink Show

Yes I am a Martha Stewart fan. Because of my attention to detail and domestic qualities (hehe) I have been called "lil" Martha for some time now. I hardly ever get to watch her show anymore but often browse her website and guess what is coming up on Monday...an entire show dedicated to all things PINK! What could be better???!!!??

The show will feature pink flower arranging, baking, fashion, party ideas, and my personal favorite, Darcy's pink finds. If you do not know who Darcy is, she is the editorial editor of Martha Stewart Weddings. She is the vision for it all and has the most wonderful ideas.

And my favorite photo for last...you think I tease but I am dead serious, I would definitely glide down the isle in this Amazing pale PINK wedding gown.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow to Martha's PINK spectacular!
XOXO,

Delay and Photo Tag

What could be better than waking up and finding out there is a 2 hour delay!?!?! I finally get to enjoy a relaxing morning with the Today show and a very large cup of coffee!

Cute blogger over at If I Can't Wear Heels...I Don't Want to go tagged me in a photo tag game. So here are the rules:
1. Open your 1st Photo Folder
2. Scroll to the 10th photo
3. Post the photo (no cheating) and the story behind it
4. Tag 5 or more people

Here goes my photo...
(Me with The Company She Keeps and Drowning in the Shallow End of the Gene Pool)

Oops...I broke the rules! I had to pick this photo because it features two of my great friends from Clemson that are both fabulous bloggers...well my little bunny on the very end is a bit of a blog slacker if there is such a thing, but what she does have to say always will give you a laugh! This was on New Year's Eve in Charlotte.
Everyone is tagged so I expect to see lots of pics posted!

XOXO,
JM

Whats eating you?

So good news! Today was way better than yesterday! After coming home from a lovely weekend at the beach with family (please note picture of the pups and me trying to brave the wind), everything just went all wrong yesterday. From eating disordered actions to printing my project for my special ed class 30 minutes before it was due...it was simply just a horrible, no good, very bad day. I obviously did not fully comprehend an amazing article that I read on Sunday night in my March issue of P31 Woman. The title says it all: "It's Not What You Eat, It's What Eats You." This article explains how we often try to build physical health upon a faulty foundation, meaning we try to "fill up" with food or another addiction instead of the holy spirit. Disordered eating is a symptom of what lies deep within your heart, mind and soul. In order to fix my problem with bulimia, I must restore my mind and soul before I can restore my body to health. Once I have "purged my pain" of wrongful disordered thinking and identified my emotions, I can seek to fill those places with life-giving substances such as nutritious friendships, fun, and scripture. When my heart is fill of, then food will return to its rightful place as fuel for my body, and as a blessing from the Lord to be enjoyed, but not abused.
"It is up to us to guard and nurture our health so we can fulfill GOD'S plan for our life with passion and endurance!"
Just some food for thought...haha no pun intended.
So that brings me to today...
The snow has come again to sparkle city! It is beautiful, but I must say that I could care less this go around because I am desperately seeking Spring weather. Its March now and I am ready for Spring Break and Easter bonnets. Today I have truly thought about that article ALL Day. I of course have had ED thoughts, but not acted on them and remembered that they are just thoughts. I have had time to rest in front of the fire today (class was canceled:), prepare for my psychology test tomorrow night, and enjoy conversation with my Mom and Dad. I pray I can continue to have a good night and I really hope I can stay awake to watch Lauren Graham's new tv show Parenthood.
Until next time!

Monday

This picture describes EXACTLY how I am feeling on this Monday evening...(this picture is from a forward I received on the effects of alcohol on dogs...this fella had one too many glasses of wine!)
More to share once I recover from my 13 hours of work/school day.
XOXO,
