The Funniest Commercial Ever

Seed: Time Capsule of Life by Pastor Carl Toti

Every week, I get "Pastor Carl's Weekly Encouragement" sent to my e-mail. Carl is the pastor at Trinity Church in Lubbock and I really enjoy his sermons. His food for thought this week is about the power of a seed. You know, "the faith of a mustard seed" and such. Here it is:

Taylor Swift, Speak Now

As reported previously, I love Taylor Swift. Her new album, Speak Now, came out on Tuesday and I bought it that evening. I was totally excited all day long and I've been totally obsessed with it ever since.

It's Ok To Be Single!

I love me some Taylor Swift! I also love reading the Glamour.com blogs everyday. Erin Meanley, writer for Smitten is one of my faves. She writes some pretty funny and insightful stuff.


Today she wrote about Taylor Swift and how it's just fine to be single every now and then. While I do my share of complaining, I totally agree!


Here it is, I recommend reading it!

Weekly Celeb Crush

The character of Robert McCallister died very early in the new season of Brothers & Sisters. Heartbroken, I am. Sadder still though, is that Rob Lowe wasn't in it at all! :(


I love Rob Lowe. He's on the November 2010 cover of Architectural Digest, which means I can see his pretty face at work if I want to. Or, I can just wait til this weekend and swipe my brother's DVD copy of The Outsiders. After all, this is my favorite Rob Lowe. And The Outsiders is one of my very favorite books/movies ever.

Rob Lowe circa 1983

I care not that he was in rehab in the 80s and is one of the original claimers of "sex addiction." I just look at him and all is forgiven. With those blue eyes and dark hair... *sigh* Also, he has aged extremely well.

Something's Missing

I am a person that likes patterns. I go through the same routine everyday: wake up, shower, fix breakfast, put on make-up (while eating said breakfast), blow-dry/style hair (while still eating said breakfast), brush teeth, get dressed, leave. I am out the door within five minutes of the same time everyday.


I guess I like patterns. It gives me comfort to know what will be going on each day and when. I'm not really a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of girl, and I thrive in the midst of a routine.


However, some patterns are meant to be broken.

I Got Spaghetti Sauce On My Sleeve

How that happened is beyond me. But, of all the people in the world, of course it would happen to me.


I was the cleanest baby in the world (aside from the standard spit-ups and poopy diapers), until my pediatrician dubbed me "Messy Jesse," simply because it rhymed. Since then, I've been a mess in every aspect of the word.


I drop things, I spill things, I fall down, I run into things a lot, my apartment is a state of controlled chaos. Sunday afternoon, I fell and turned my ankle, walking barefoot across a flat surface while rounding the corner from one room to another. That takes true talent, my friends.

Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

Well, actually she didn't, but I'm listening to Three Dog Night right now.


Life is rough and stressful. School is driving me nuts. I need a job. I went to a career fair yesterday and networked with some peeps, so maybe something will come from that. I really like Lubbock and I would like to stay here, but I'll leave if I'm forced. :(


I've always been one to have a plan for my life and right now I don't. I am in a state of constant freak-out due to that. Grad school? Full-time job? Paid internship? What about benefits?


I have a job interview on Tuesday, so that's encouraging. But...it's in sales and my degree will be in journalism. I have this line that I use informing employers with a communications degree that you can really do anything, but I don't really know how true that is. Surely, I could LEARN to do anything, but not if someone won't give me the opportunity to learn. And with a slim number of jobs available in the area for journalists, I'm having to try out opportunities in other areas.


Graduating college is turning out to be nothing like I expected. I don't even know what I expected, but this isn't it. Don't ever let anyone tell you that having a college degree automatically gets you a job. Yes, it helps A LOT, but it is no guarantee. Especially if your degree field is a "dying profession," or something to that effect.


On Monday, I will be exactly two months away from graduating.
