Living Out of a Suitcase

Dear Fellow Follwers,

I AM SORRY!!!

I've been on the road for about 4 weeks straight!

 I know I have been MIA for a couple of weeks.... living out of a suitcase is TOUGH business!!  Late nights, no computer, and stockshows could almost do a girl in... not quite though!  Thank God for my friends that keep me sane during stockshow season!

Some of us show stick 'em like a champ...

Some of us take goofy pictures in mirrors in WARM bathrooms... while others take blurry phone pics at rodeos and concerts...

Some of us are in  GRAND DRIVES....

... and some of us take home GRAND CHAMPION.

MOST of us need a little time out from hard work and fun...

But ALL of us, show our butts off...

and CELEBRATE when hard work is paid off.

There are many sides to the early mornings, long days, & late nights of stockshows... My ten years of showing steers and pigs came to a close this past week.... And I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything in the world.

Showing is LOVE. And love is SHOWING.

Do you want to know what brings joy to my life?

Lucy Belle and Capt. Call.

Sweet, sweet Call :)

Lucy Belle thinks she is a race dog. What a little speed demon...

.... until she does a face plant and is buried in the snow! :0

Are the not just they most precious dogs on earth?

Crazy Week, Chinese Food, & 1 goal.

It's been one hell of a week, to say the least.  It's been quite eventful, crazy, wild.... blah, blah, blah.  I apolgize to my loyal followers (you guys rock with a capital R!) for being MIA for the past couple of weeks.... once major show season comes to an end, things will be back to normal! I pinky promise! ;)

Just thought I would let you guys know... I'm OBSESSED with Chinese food as of right now. I found a FABULOUS little Chinese joint in the town over, and I am in LOVE. Oh. Yes.

So once again, I've changed my mind... Apparel Design & Manufacturing. AKA Fashion Design. I'm going to open my own boutique with my own designs... plus a few more.

However to succeed on my new found career path, I must master the art of sketching designs.... and I would like this to happen BEFORE design school. I'm gonna start ASAP.

This is the goal:

I've got this ;)



I Stalk....

On snow days (like the one we are having here in Texas today!) there isn't much to do.

How do I spend my time?

I  stalk anthropologie sales.  I'm addicted.  I can't help that I love fabulous clothes at a CHEAPER price. Yay for sales. 

If anyone feels the need to buy me these bowls, to start my new life of alone-ness in a dorm, so I don't starve next year... I will LOVE you forever.

I also believe if I had this apron:

I would master the art of baking.  I feel this apron would make me the expert baker.  And I would do it in style.

So when in doubt, and somehow have NOTHING to do on a snowday (or just feel too lazy to tackle projects... kind of like me).... turn to anthropologie.  It will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  I promise.

:)

one happy Morgan, one sad puppy



If you cannot tell me this is one of the cutest puppies you have ever seen, you have no heart. My dear, sweet Hayes promised me a look-alike of this exact teacup pomeranian after I no longer live in dorms.  Let's just say this made for one very happy Morgan.

AND this is the sad puppy (Lucy) after I told her about her new future friend (Lilly). 

I'm not sure if she's upset that I will have another snuggle bunny, or if it's the similar name.  Let's just say she was NOT happy at all.  Poor Lucy Belle.

Friday Fill-In

Sorry for the past week and my being MIA.... I've been sick *cough, cough.*  Dear flu-like sickness, PLEASE go away.  You are not, I repeat, NOT, welcome any longer. 

So due to my illness this week, there has been absolutely NOTHING going on... Oh, yeah, except I missed my very last bleacher mania at Ponder High.... *tear.*  I missed seeing my little sister dance for the very last time.  Hopefully I can get my hands on a video of the little sis shaking her booty in front of the entire school.  Oooooh yessss.

I know I have completely bored you all to death, however, having the influenza is not very exciting.  Hopefully you have a better Friday Fill-In!  Grab the button & fill us in!

***AND I PROMISE to bounce back with a much more exciting post later on!

Happy Friday! :)

Friday Faves!

I know it is not quite Friday... I'm a few hours early.  Just go with it... I'm extremely ready for the "f" word.  Thank goodness for Fridays.  They give us something to look forward to over the long and exhausting week.  Without the build-up to Fridays, we would have no bridge to connect us from the week, to the oh so popular weekEND.  With this being said, here is my new tribute to Fridays.

Helloooooo "Friday Fill-In."

1. My new college Government book, I just paid a fortune for. I know this is a weird "fave," but who has 2 thumbs and wants to go to law school? This girl. So of course I love it.

2. Making my future college softball career official last Saturday. Yes, I finally signed my National Letter of Intent to Western Texas College. Yay :) happiness for Morgan!

3. Fist Pump Friday. Check out Today's Letters for details! :)



4. Best Friends who do BIG things. Congrats to my home girl Kaiti Robinson for her Reserve Grand Champion steer at the National Western. That's my girl!! :)

5. This happens to be favorite number... and my jersey number next year. Go Lady Westerners :)

6. 1st day of softball practice today! This marks the first of the last. Bittersweet-ness my friends, bittersweet-ness.

7. Bibles that remarkably recover on Wednesday- after being dropped in water... aka the toilet. Not on purpose, and NO, I was not reading while taking care of business. It just happened. I don't know how, but that's not the important. 

8. New Friends that officially met last Saturday. Aka the new roomie :)

9. Fabulous weekends with people you love. Multiple fist-pumps for my family & Hayes. You guys made last weekend wonderful.

10.  8:45am classes (mon-fri.) Better than 7:55am! Smiles for sleeping in late(ish) :)
