about not a fan of roses

I recently graduated from UNC with my Masters degree.

I'm always busy doing something. I play in 3 volleyball leagues during the week and tournaments on the weekends. I also play slowpitch in two leagues with my boyfriend and I am a faithful fan/bleacher coach for his church league one night a week. We both coach for Special Olympics of Orange County and LOVE IT.

 

Go Heels!

Lord Reign in Me

Over all the earth You reign on high
Every mountain stream, every sunset sky
But my one request, Lord my only aim
Is that You reign in me again

Lord reign in me, reign in Your power
Over all my dreams, in my darkest hour
You are the Lord of all I am
So won't You reign in me again

Over every thought, over every word
May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord
Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing
So won't You reign in me again

Love the pic of the small garden by the pond. What a nice view.

Amen on the watering comment. Hope your aunt doesn't mind (lol) but we have a pond in the back that looks similiar to that scene and those types of plants would be a nice touch. i think i've identified most of them in the picture. just looks so tranquil.

What a serene picture! I really like that. :-) Beth

"Unfortunately, State is in the clear."

Haha! "Unfortunately"??? Come one now, don't be hatin'!!!!

Think like I do -- I want State and Carolina and Duke to ALL be great every year. Beating one of them would mean so much more if that were the case. I don't want to beat Carolina because they are on probation or something, although I wouldn't complain if that happened. I just don't ask for it to happen. :)

Show State some love!

"I was off on my football info. Those schools that sign 33 kids will have to cut that number down to 25 by the first day of practice. Most kids will be gone b/c of academic reasons."

So, out of the 26 that State signed, only 25 can be on the team as a scholarship player? The other one can be there as a walk-on, or he can't play for the school?

I know another person who isn't so fond of roses and likes lillies ;)

roses are over rated... i'm just happy with a little country mix. But I usually have to have a baby to get them so I think i'll just be flowerless!!! lol

I love the pic of the garden - beautiful! I also love the song you have showing. You have great taste :-)

what are you studying?

During the discussion that my boyfriend was having with another couple he stated that it is never ok to buy a vaccuum cleaner for your girlfriend for any kind of gift giving occasion. The girl in the other couple had stated that she wanted a $300 vaccuum cleaner and her boyfriend was trying to find an appropriate time to give it to her. My bf told him to find a department store that sells this particular vaccuum cleaner that she wanted and get her a $300 gift card to that store that way, if she wants the vaccuum cleaner, it's her choice, if not she can get whatever else she wants. I thought that was pretty clever!!!!

"Be nice or I won't answer any more questions about NCAA rules!"

I was being nice. ;)

Hey there! I was wondering if that pic is your yard? Very nice!

once u post a new blog they dont show the other one.. they only have one of yours up at a time... nothing personal.. its still there it just doesnt show on the new blog list!

ooooooooooh, cool picture. Your place?

No, I don't need my hearing checked. Having studied music and taught it, I know pitch and notes.

You do not need a building permit for a patio, however, due to impervious limitations you must get approval from you zoning dept. There a percentage of land that may be covered on your property by impervious surfaces. You cannot exceed that limitation. Unless you get a deviation which in wake county is $400 dollars just to fill the form out, not counting if you may need to do a rain garden.

I like the picture very pretty.Would like to say hellow and wishyou a good weekend.

Good Morning,hope you are doing good this morning.Ican see your Aun't has talent in gardning,, i need here here to work in my yard.I'am not as good as she is even though i try.Ihave fixed a rose bed but she puts me to shame.have some other things i want to do after weather warms up.Hope this coming week will be warmer and stays that way but not in the 90's ha!ha! wishing you a good day and a good week.

I wonder how julia from last season is doing, the one he sent to culinary school is doing

by the way reign in me is ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS

np !

"Historian...agreed but what is that child considered white or black by race standards. There is not the option of half and half."

In genealogical terms they were referred to on the census records as mulatto,(a person of mixed white and black ancestry)

I can't believe people are still posting a blog for the sole reason of "calling" someone out.

Me either.I got on this morning and was like WOW. 3 Blogs.Ok,Off to my shack in the woods and my jog of moonshine in hand.

Thanks for the review! I added it to our growing list! -Angela

My bad

I deleted that comment. See, I was dead on about this guy, hopefully everyone sees it now.

Re: K&L Construction in Raleigh. I work in the manufactured Housing Industry. We use him for brick work.

You are cracking me up. SBD LOL

commando ! TMI, but still thanks for sharing (jack's imagination wanders...)

I was NOT dogging anyone or ragging on anyone.

Yes, I did a blog asking about mothers who went out partying. Some took offense.

Please read blogs and comments before you make up YOUR OWN MIND if you think I am a troll or not.

Thank you.

LOL....Please don't bring one to my job!! I am hoping for a raise soon...LOL

HEY, ya know you may have a point about the rock thing...somebody was telling me about that a while back...hmmmm...thinkgs to ponder...

You sure do go around and stir up trouble too

Congratulations on successfully defending your thesis. It's quite an achievement, and I for one am exceedingly proud of you. Well done!

"Thanks! I wish I had the energy pursue publishing my thesis. My brain is mush! I don't think I could handle editing the five chapters into one. Graduation is this Sunday and I'm hoping we don't have rain."

I can relate. I still remember defending my dissertation. It's more fond in retrospect than it seemed at the time.

Just be thankful it's completed and take a moment to enjoy your success. You've earned that.

I'm hoping that also. It will be the last one I attend as a member of this faculty, so it's a somewhat special occasion for me as well.

"I might have to settle with looking at him from my TV. I might not be able to handle the smell."

you're kidding, right??? Girl, go get ya one of those nose plugs or something...dayum! lol

yeah when she said ill floss my teeth with them, i about gagged, I bet shes a *itch in real life, I cant cirie

"I don't know what a chitlin is"

It is the intestines of a hog. Popular dish with the African-American's

why are you tryin to be smart?

Good, but why did a request have to be made, instead of him coming out on his own like a few months ago...

Where do you go to church, by the way?

Oh, oh, oh, the very end of Desperate Housewives was great. What did you think about the '5 years later' Part?

Man, I thought Justine Bateman looked rough too. She needs a little fat on her. Isn't that her brother that plays Adam? Oh, I may have to go back and watch it again!

I know right? What's up with this chick (?) today?? How dare someone blog about being racist and then can't take the heat. Everything is always fun on GOLO until something like this happens..makes no sense to me...

some names are a little fair fetched though, for real! But anyway, I have a boys name...I guess mommy wanted a boy, huh. lol

I read your blog on having an ovary removed. I had one removed a few years ago. I'm guessing they will use laparoscopy? If so, you should be on your feet quicker.

You will notice changes after the surgery with your cycle. Some long, some short, some months without it.

Having a child is still highly likely --especially if you have a healthy lifestyle.

If you have other questions, let me know. I was scared, too, but everything is fine now.

Just now realized you're facing surgery. My prayer is that you'll come through it praising God for His Goodness and in good health and spirits.

Don'tcha just love ncsuspam? LOL

Be sure to tell all of your buddies in the story comments area about your group the next time you're in a heated debate. -Angela

"I need to hear some positive news out of the state of Iowa for a change."

Last night's story was just too much for me, also. In the past two weeks, I've lost a lot of history in my hometown as well as other places that I lived. There is a swinging bridge that I crossed every day for 7 years to get to school. The flood just washed it right down the river.

I know that my family is safe, but I just feel so helpless because I can't go help.

I wish you could see how hard I'm trying not to laugh at my desk!!! LOL
