deep cleaning my closet

in serious need of help, my room & closet were totally organized last week

i'll be the first to admit that i'm terrible about putting away laundry
i mean, it will sit there for weeks, clean, still in the dryer or in the laundry basket

its the worst habit ever.

i wish my closet looked something similar to this

i'm too embarrassed to show the 'before' photos, so 'after' is all you get

and those are still not very good!

any suggestions?

smokies game

after living in knoxville for 4 years for school,

and moving back over a year ago I somehow never managed to make it to a smokies game,

until this august!

friends meredith and tim

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,

I don't care if I never get back,

Let me root, root, root for the home team,

If they don't win it's a shame.

For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,

At the old ball game."

final score: smokies 7 - mobile 5
