USA Network

Hey y'all!
I am very annoyed with my local channel that shows CW because they had some stupid basketball game on during Reign. I do not like basketball. I like Reign.
We are going to think of the positives regarding television. Two positives spawn from USA Network which are titled Chrisley Knows Best and Sirens.

Let me get this off of my chest. I love this family and glad to have the Little Couple back on TLC. They are adorable and cute and I love Asian babies along with babies in general. 
The Chrisley family is the Keeping Up With the Kardashians of the south plus more visible morals. They are just as funny to me but on a different level. The dad, Todd, is so opinionated and does not have any sort of filter. He is big brother with trackers and assistants to tell him when his children are misbehaving. It is crazy. They will be one of my new favorite families.
Sirens is a TV remake. I just learned this fact as I googled for the picture above. Knowing that TV shows are a remake is different than knowing that a movie is a remake. I think that it might have something to do with the fact that we hold TV shows on a different level and expect them to be new and original. With that aside, it is hilarious. The three paramedics have an interesting, comedic dynamic.
What shows are y'all loving?
Love y'all!

Graduation Steps!

Hey y'all!

So if you did not know, I am graduating in May. Graduation entails many little activities and social etiquette things to do like graduation announcements, registries, thank you cards and if you are like me scholarships while doing school work and you have to fit in going to a college orientation during all of this stuff. My mind is now exploding thinking of all that I have to do. Thank you society!
Graduation Postcard -- Fresh FutureI am going to take this couple of months one day and task at a time though. Plus, thanks to Pear Tree Greetings and their super efficient schedule I am almost done with one thing on my checklist. I got my graduation announcements in the mail today and love them. This is the one that I ordered except mine doesn't have that stranger on it. It has a baby photo, toddler and my first Communion photo along with a cute professional one and a silly selfie. I love it and excited to know my family's reactions toward it. Below is cute too.
Valentine Photo Cards -- Heart Paper Chain
Next step is probably going to be orientation so that I can register for college classes. Hint: sooner you go to orientation, the better chance you have to get the needed classes. While I am waiting for my orientation date, I am working on scholarships. Scholarships are time consuming! You have to sit down, type out lots of words and occasionally send in things other than the essay that you spent hours perfecting. All of this work for money. It is a part of life I guess.
I mentioned to you in a previous post about my plan for thank you cards, so I won't mention it now, but I will show y'all when I do them.
I have not a clue what to put on my registries. I know towels, bedding but I don't know what I need! I think I just want to ask for gift cards and cash. I will let you know what I put on them when I do them in April.

Comment your thoughts and suggestions! Also let me know if you would like me to refer you to Pear Tree Greetings for $20 off your first order. They have lots other than graduation things like the Valentine's Day card that is cute and funny.
Love you!

Olympics!

Hey y'all!

I love the Olympics! This time is my favorite time period ever! The fandom mixed with the hot athletes mixed with excitement it is ahhh!
So Sochi opening ceremony aired last night, it was definitely original and I felt so bad for Russia when the fifth circle failed right at the beginning. I would have cried if I was the engineer behind that.
I heard that Russia wanted to make the Ceremony like China's from six years ago. To an extent, I think that they did but I personally liked London's the best. London kept my attention with all of the performances (plus I could understand them) but I do like the technology that Russia brought to the table. The Olympic God lights where really pretty.
The Olympics are where I feel like athletes get their full recognition for what they do. I don't pay attention to who wins what any other time then these moments (Olympics). I know I am not the only other one to do this either. At the Olympics, they get to be with other people who risk life, time and hundreds of dollars. They do this and push them selves for this event where they get full recognition and to walk into the Opening Ceremony and stand there for their country and prove their worth. These medals are like a symbol saying "Hey I didn't waste my time!" "You all who said I couldn't do it were wrong!"
People like him who are the only ones from their country bring so much pride and deserve so much more. He is from Bermuda and there are others who are the only ones from their country or the first one to send their country to the winter Olympics. They make me proud. They have been dealt the most crap probably in their lives and they pushed through to get to that ceremony and hold the flag for their country.
 This guy, Antonio Pardo, made me smile so much last night. He did what I would probably do if I was a lone athlete. He danced, jumped and ran with the flag. He is from Venezuela, a Alpine skier and a survivor. He had a brain tumor about 35 years ago. The surgery pluralized half of his body but he has since been able to recover completely and ready to represent his country. He is an inspiration with his saying "do it because you love it" and clearly he loves his country, life and skiing.
This is what the Olympics are about: love. Love for a sport. Love for your country. Love for life. Love for the world and what it brings us.

I hope y'all enjoy life.
Love y'all!
