Me Posts #1

So I’m thinking occasionally I’m gonna do mini posts about well me.  Just giving you updates on me the life of Anna and interesting fact.  So here we go…

What am I doing right now:
 Hum, im sitting in my cubical at work typing a blog post(shh)
Thing I’m most excited about that has happened in the last week:
Well I moved into my new apartment on Saturday, so I’m still in the process of organizing and getting used to it, but the whole thing is exciting right now.
Thing I’m most excited for that’s coming up:
 Well I’m honestly not excited for school to start back at all. I’m dreading it!! But because it’s so close, this week all my friends that have been in various parts of the world all summer are coming back. I get to have dinner with one on Tuesday and I’m sure well have a big reunion Saturday evening sometime.
Thing that you wish you were doing right now?
 Napping, new apartment, new noises, new smells, excitement… I haven’t slept well in a while.
Style obsession of the moment:  Can I just put a link to this absolutely amazing girl I found while surfing through blogs? I just want to say  Elizabeth from http://www.delightfully-tacky.com/ is my current style obsession!! Everything is so perfect.
Favorite new purchase:  I snagged a soft cotton, denim looking skirt at target the other day. Its long enough to be worn high on the waist, even with my long legs and has the cutest details. Buttons down the length of the front and pockets. I can’t wait to see what this simple piece will inspire in me.
Favorite new discovery:  I’m super stoked about trying Garniers new Olia hair dye. Besides the fact that I got it for a steal because I think the barcode was entered in wrong (no complaints), it’s supposed to really nourish your hair. Believe me, my hair needs it.
Favorite post I’ve read recently: I actually just found out that I won the giveaway on one of mt daily read blogs; I won two beautiful original artwork work posters. Here’s the page so you can see them. I got conformation that they were mailed this morning so yay can’t wait! They’ll look so good in my new living room that’s slowly coming together.

Three random facts about me:
1.    I was born in Cartersville,Ga, though I say I have two hometowns. I spent the school year in Georgia and the summer in Alabama with my grandma and other family in the summer growing up. I love having two. Twice the fun
2.    I am left handed(- but at least Im in my right mind.) Funny thing is,  I do everything with my right hand but eat, write, and draw. Well I say that, I normally do. Over the years I’ve got good at doing most anything with either hand.
3.    I played oboe for 7 yrs. I was actually pretty good at it.

I hope you’re having a good week!

A Good Friend and Musician

     Today I’m excited to inform you that a great friend of mine, Drake Kennedy has released his first EP. It’s called Hope. ! He is such a talented musician! And I’m so excited for him and what God is doing with his life right now!  The album is a religious, uplifting pop album. How often do you hear that? His sound is kinda Justin Timberlake meets Justin Bieber style, but with really safe and empowering lyrics. I’ve listened to it nonstop since I received it on Wednesday, and yall, its good!


      He’s only got a few copies right now that he’s selling for 5 dollars to people nearby, but it will be available on ITunes August 15th!! Mark your calendars!( ill also try to remind you that day)
Mom doesn’t know it yet, but this is what she’s getting tonight for her birthday (stay tuned for a post about her party). I don’t know if your mom is like mine but music that is even the slightest bit vulgar, really bothers her. So I just know she is going to LOVE this album! Anyway, this album is enjoyable and safe for anyone, anytime. Give it a try. I promise you’ll be signing right along in no time.
