HELP

This will be short...

Im new to this blog thing & while trying to spruce up my blog I somehow lost the ability to add followers....
Everytime I add the widget through blogger it seems to work but when I view the blog its just a blank square. If anybody out there knows how to fix this I would love the help!

Thank you sooooo much!!

WHY?

Hello guys and gals!

Its Wednesday! And while I try to get on somewhat of a routine around here, that means....

RANDOM WEDNESDAY!!

Today I find myself asking WHY?

WHY do I need to go to starbucks in the morning?? (Especially when I have coffee at home and work!)

WHY can I not get outta bed in the morning to workout?

WHY cant I find the motivation to workout after work?

WHY does the government take sooo much outta my paycheck for taxes?!?!

WHY cant my family live closer to me (or me to them)?

WHY did I have to be stubborn for all those years and not talk to my dad?

WHY didn't I spend more time with my grandparents while they were still here?

WHY?

I didn't intend for this to get so deep there at the end... but I guess those are questions that will always linger in the back of my mind.

With all that said I leave you with this:

Until next time...

Ashley

Hello all!!

I know, I know...

I shouldn't be surprised by this day of the week anymore

but I am!

I don't know what it is about Monday's but we just don't get along.

I guess its my lack of planning for the work week on Sunday...

This weekend was no different!

I got up early on Saturday to drive Alex & a friend up to Auburn

(They were going to be drinking) 

and then picking them up later in the afternoon.

While I had planned to clean the house while he was gone for the day

I sad to say that when I got home my book was MUCH more interesting than cleaning the house!

I did, however, clean out the hall closet! (Wish I had taken pictures)

It had become a mish mash of stuff that I didn't want to look at anymore

AND on a positive note I found the charger to my clarisonic in there!

That was the extent of my cleaning though...

I still have a basket full of clean clothes to put away

and ALL of our laundry still sits waiting to be washed!

Now you all know what I will be doing tonight :)

And now I leave you with some inspiring words:

Until next time!

Ashley

Another Random Wednesday!

Hello all!

Sorry its been a few days...

Just have a lot going on right now!

Anyway... its Wednesday, so that means another totally random post...

This is actually something I think about from time to time,

Do I live where I should??

I don't mean in the home I live in, I mean the 

city, state, area, etc...

I was born and raised in Sacramento.

And this is the capital of the state but sometimes

it doesn't feel like I should be here.

While I know that I hate living in the "country"

Where you have to drive 30 minutes to get to the closest grocery or gas station.

Sometimes I feel like I was meant to live in the midwest or the south.

In a smaller town, where the pace maybe a little slower but its a community.

Sacramento is a BIG city... not like LA or New York,

but I don't know my neighbors,

we don't have community events (at least not that I know of)

we don't have that one place that everybody goes.

I am a book lover and in books that are based in the midwest or the south,

sometimes I find myself wishing thats where I lived.

Now I know that in a book the author is making the area sound the best for the book.

I also know that the grass is not always greener...

But sometimes I cant help but wonder...

And to leave you with something totally unrelated to this post:

I LOVE this movie!!!

XOXO

Its Friday ~ With a PSA

So I had planned a fun post about last night

and I still plan on giving that to you,

but first I have a little PSA to give.

PLEASE drive safe out there!

This morning on my way to work,

while wishing I was still in my bed

a MAJOR car accident happened right in front of me.

Without going into too many details,

driver A turned left from a side street not seeing driver B

Driver A sent driver B flying across the street where she landed on

her roof.

This literally happened 100 feet in front of me!

Luckily driver A was fine.

Driver B was pulled out of her car, after using the 'Jaws of Life'

and seemed to be okay.

PLEASE be aware on the road...

I know that Im not always the best driver, especially if Im in a hurry,

but after seeing that accident happen I promise I will make an effort to be better!

~~~

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming :)

Last night me, Alex & my parents went to see the king of country,

George Strait.

For those of you that don't know this is his farewell tour

 as he is not going to tour anymore.

Well thats the word right now at least!

Let me tell you it was amazing!

The wonderful Martina McBride opened for him, 

and I never considered myself a fan of her music,

but she is AMAZEBALLS in concert!!!

The set was very simplistic, but hey that true to George!

The show started right on time with Martina singing for about an hour.

Then they took down her music instruments & set up Georges...

George then came out and sang for almost TWO hours!

During his set he stopped and a retired General came up on stage 

on behalf of the Wounded Warrior project 

and they gave a Veteran a new home!

By the way, a country concert in Sacramento, California is a fun place to people watch!

There was the two guys in the row in front of us that looked like they would rather be anywhere else, plus one of these guys actually fell asleep!

Then there was the guy in section next to us that was escorted away by the sheriffs BEFORE George even came out on stage!

Plus, the guy next to me that kept moving & almost fell asleep himself!

Oh wait that guy was with me... haha...

Country is not his music preference but wanted to go anyway!

Here are some pictures from last night...

Sorry about the crappy quality, but I forgot my camera & had to use the trusty iPhone!

I really didn't mean for this to be this long....

Have a great weekend!!

Ohh ~ who is everybody picking for the superbowl this weekend??

Until Monday

XOXO
