21 days until the big 21!

It is only 21 days until my 21st birthday. Holy smokes! I am not completely sure if I am ready for this, or if everyone else is ready for this! :)

The weather has been AMAZING lately. The other day I layed outside and took a nap. Is this really March? Didn't think so. :) With March comes intramural softball! Eventhough I am awful (this is not just me asking for self pitty-- I am awful.) Yesterday, I was able to actually make contact with two balls out of a good 70 pitches. Yup, that is just how awesome I am at softball. Last year was the first year that I played softball, and lets just say that at the first practice of ever playing softball, I got a black eye after I made contact with the ball. I really do not know how this happened, but it made for a very interesting story. This season, I only have two goals: 1.) Make contact with the ball and make it to a base 2.) Don't get a black eye or any worse injuries. You would think that these would not be too hard of goals to achieve, but we will see. Our first game is tomorrow. Oh boy!

On a completely other note, I want to make a green smoothie. Strange? Yes. I have been reading a whole bunch of information on them on different blogs and they sound delicious. They are also really healthy. So, what's to loose? I just have not had the time to actually make one. Maybe today? Hopefully. Can't wait to let you know how it turns out. :) If you don't know what a green smoothie may be, check out Skinny Green Monster Smoothie.

Have you ever tryed a green smoothie?

Well, its back to school for this little lady!

Here's to a good week, first softball game, and trying a green smoothie!:)

Yous Day Tuesday!

Totally took this from the lovely Shiloh! Her blog is soo cute and you should check it out/follow her fo sho!

These are just some random facts about me! :)

1. I am on a journey to become a less picky eater. So far so good! I was one of the pickiest eaters on this planet up until I chose this little adventure! It has been an adventure for sure, but I have found a lot of food that I enjoy. Oh the things a picky eater misses out on!

2. I have a new profound love for grapes!

3. I love painting my fingernails and toenails! Doing it tonight!

4. I play intramural softball. To be honest.....I am by far the worst player on the team. They let me play for the joy of the game. Last year I got a black eye from a softball that I personally hit with the bat in my hand! Let's just say that that was a very memorable time for me and the rest of the team!

5. I am a waitress, not a slave. Words to live by when you go out to eat! :)

6. I recently bought a 2012 Kia Sportage three months ago, which I call my space shuttle because that's what the cute little thing looks like! I am still in love with it and can hardly believe that I actually bought a new car compared to the 1999 Ford Escort that I used to rumble around in from the summer before my junior year of high school to December 2011. It's just crazy!

7. I want to become a teacher, and am so excited to do it! If you haven't heard me chatter on about my love for children, that's odd.

8. I believe that everyday has potential to be amazingly wonderful!

9. Oddly enough-- on really nice weather days, I wish I had a dog so that I could take it on walks.

10. Last but not least for this week, I have started working out more lately and trying to eat healthier. I have lost 15 pounds since January 1st. I am awfully proud of my self!

Here is to the end of a wonderful Tuesday!:)

You gave up facebook for lent?!?

This girl gave up facebook for lent, and it could not have been a better decision! I did this a couple years a go when i was a freshman in college with my roommate, and am doing it again with my roommate this year! It is crazy how much time I end up stalking, lack of a better word, people on facebook. When I am bored, I get on facebook. When I don't want to listen to my professor in class, I get on facebook. When I don't want to do my homework, I get on facebook. Facebook has become such a part of my life, which is dumb. I'm not saying that facebook is not a very helpful tool to stay in contact with people, but I was way to attached. I got on facebook for atleast 3 hours a day, if I had to guess. It was ridiculous!

Now that I have been off of facebook for almost two weeks--it will be two weeks tomorrow-- it's awesome! I forgot how much time I free up for myself by giving up facebook. With this free time, I get my homework done so much quicker, which in turn gives me more free time, which in turn lets me go to sleep earlier, which in turn gives me more motivation to get up in the morning and workout --- my new found love is working out at 6 A.M. but I will share my enthusiasm about that in another post!:)  It is really a win win situation for this girl and I am still able to keep up with the people I love by actually talking to them. It's really crazy! 

In all of my free time, I have started reading books again! I love reading a good book, but before did not have the time. I began reading the book Eat, Pray, Love. AWESOME BOOK! I wasn't sure if it was going to enjoy it as much as I did! I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone! Now I want to see the movie, because you have to compare the two.

 Has anyone seen the movie?

Now I must continue this care free Spring Break by reading a new book! Review to come later! This is going to be one of my mother's books, because I am on the home front and the closest library is 45 miles away!

Here's to a good day! :)

I write a blog....?

I am not really sure why I have this aspiration to write a blog, but here it goes!

I just simply love reading inspirational and workout/healthy blogs. I just love reading them and gaining some inspiration to get out of bed and actually do something. While perusing through hundreds of blogs, I came up with the epiphany of creating my own! Sometimes the crazyness of an ordinary day in the life of Annie is just too much to keep up in this head of mine! As of lately my life has been pretty "boring" or ordinary for that matter, but I am sure that is about to change when I trudge home for Spring Break. I swear that every time I go home for any sort of break, the crazies just flock to me like there may be a sign on my back that says "Please come talk to me and say creepy things so that I will be completely frightened and petrified making it unable to turn the other way and walk away without you asking for my number!".
So here is the beginning of something wonderful! A blog  filled with all of the randomness that is included in my life from workouts, food, my main man God, school, and all the crazy beautiful randomness along the way. This is going to be a little rough for a while, but hope to become better at it! Hope you enjoy! Here is to a new beginning! :)

Annie!
