I'm feelin' electric tonight, cruising down the coast going 'bout 99

  It's Wednesday! Which means hump day, So You Think You Can Dance, it's Britney bitch Spears' debut on X Factor, momma's making pork chops for dinner, OH and the second annual HUNGER GAMES oh no wait that's not right...it's my second installment of Wordy Wednesday y'all. Since I'm in a particularly good mood today and my hair decided to cooperate this morning I'm giving y'all two lyrical gems this morning you can thank me nowww 

  It's officially fall in the South! SEC football is back, momma's birthday came and went, and girls are wearing riding boots little early if you ask me but if I had Tory Burch I'd flaunt it too. While I do enjoy being able to walk from the parking lot to my office without sweating through my dress, the change of seasons still gives me that summertime sadness. I'm a summer baby, judge me. 
         "Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness. I just wanted you to know, that baby you're the best.. I got that summertime, summertime sadness." 
  As you should know by now I've apparently bragged enough I was extremely honored and flattered /shocked but I'm not questioning it to be the guest speaker in ADV 490: Social Media yesterday. AND I got to run away to Knoxville for 36 hours and live in norts and eat glorious bings at OCI you youngins might call it Goal Post Tavern but it'll always be OCI to me So while I was sitting in a booth in a completely empty bar at 2pm with #catholicgirlproblems herself THE Miss Kerri Moore telling her all about trying to place billboards and the crazy ass boys I attract and then break up with I realized, why the heck wouldn't you wanna have #postgradproblems?? John Mayer hate him, love his songs said it best...
                         "Don't stop this train. Don't for a minute change the place you're in...Cause now I see I'll never stop this train."
  

  So final thought not really but I needed a conclusion phrase today I am the Fall Feature Alumni on the University of Tennessee School of Advertising and PR Facebook page and Twitter tweeted it too so check it out. And to all your ADV 490 kids if you're being nice and reading this there is a huge light at the end of that circular tunnel and you will learn to love your #postgradproblems traffic not so much and when you're sitting on the ReBar patio buying your own drinks laughing about your crazy Account Director on a Saturday night you'll get it, till then blog like I told you to!

But now I've seen it through, and now I know that truth, that anything could happen


  It's the Monday of Florida week and I'm heading to Knoxville! Before you get your assuming/judgey mom face on, no, I'm not getting my Ke$ha on four days early this ain't no disco I'm going to guest lecture the amazing ADV/PR 490 class that started this whole blogging thing and subsequent documentation of my crazy beautiful life.  This works perfectly because the nice lighting men are here to install new lighting in our offices and I won't have to deal with them or their commentary on my Steelers decor, you are NOT a Broncos fan you're a Manning fan you know, just another #postgradproblem another day another dollar. Besides the 3 dozen roses, sugar-less cheesecake, and jumbo word search books this is probably the best present I could have given my momma for her big 55, OH along with an agency press release about her kid. So here's my press release the first of many I have planned to be written about me and my career read it and weep and I'll see you kids in Knoxville. I take attendance so get a good seat.

Wordy Wednesdays

  Friends are the very best place to draw inspiration from besides your momma and I absolutely love reading /semi stalking friends blogs and getting new ideas for mine. Whether it be layout ideas, the use of in-blog thoughts in tiny font thank you Miss VanDam or having different days of the week have different set topics. I always seem to work song lyrics, quotes, or even video into my posts plus song lyrics as titles get you mad hits on search engines so I decided Wednesdays will from here on out be deemed Wordy Wednesdays let the kingdom rejoice! I always seem to have some new song obsession and now I will share them with the world along with my favorite line or maybe even sometimes the lyrics in their entirety granted I Google them successfully. So for my first Wordy Wednesday I give you a throw back hit that inspired my Sophomore Retreat leader talk on the always soul searching question "Who am I?" Our high school Homecoming Alumni tailgate was this past weekend and I'm feeling nostalgic also a tiny bit cocky because I haven't gained 30 lbs since high school and have a job. So back to 2008 we go, 

     "And heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why. Hold on tight wait for tomorrow you'll be alright."

Shout out to the dreams you chase. Shout out to the hearts you break.

   Sorry to disappoint but today's blog post will have no important life lesson, take home message, or warm and fuzzy emotional rant. Nope, this one will be all about ME it is MY blog after all, I get tired of entertaining y'all week in and week out anyway My entire life I have been an overachiever, thank you Julie. I have an obsession with school supplies last Christmas I received paper clips in my stocking, yeahhh applied early and received early acceptance for college, took a rather extended break of four days off between graduating and starting work, and now at the ripe old age of 22 years two months and 20 days have been named a Fall Features Alumni of the University of Tennessee's College of Communication's School of Advertising and Public Relations. I understand people have their opinions about the University of Tennessee, the color orange, and "Communications" majors I would just like to point out, I am NOT one. I have a degree in ADVERTISING and that is perfectly fine. But it definitely gets old when people voice their opinions especially to graduates' parents about how they would never pay for University of Tennessee education for their child. That's interesting because the founder of my agency is a University of Tennessee grad, so is the head of digital marketing for Dell internationally, and Peyton Manning oh yeah, HAD to get that one in there  Yes, I like to wear orange it looks great with my coloring , and yes The Hill and Circle Park mean something special to me, but don't write me off as Cheeto head...the average ACT score of University of Tennessee student is 27 with a 3.87 GPA. So congratulations on paying over $100,000 for your child's small Catholic liberal arts education, how's that job search going? Target isn't hiring btw And here's to MY Fall Features Interview being released and my guest lecture in ADV 490: Social Media to come. that's my best attempt at channeling my inner T.O./Ochocinco I will of course let everyone who cares know when my interview will be released and do a special blog just for the new batch of social media kids. Until then GO VOLS and Joe do your homework.

". . . Dad's living with Joe when he's old"


If you ever see me with a bagel in my hand, watch out a life event is about to happen. I was eating a bagel when mom went into labor early with Joseph John Pekarsky he crashed my party, 5 weeks early and it was a blueberry bagel when he turned blue for the first time such a dramatic Asthmatic and here I am eating a bagel the day he heads to college. We joke that his birthday is the anniversary of my life being ruined and my sometime lapse in common sense is due to him splitting my head open with a log he threw the length of our yard; but through out all the cheek pinching, door slamming, biting we don't mess around, shower hogging, bickering, and the usual irritated state of being siblings I love my little brother more than anything. We have finally reached the stage of life when we can be more friends than siblings AND because we look nothing alike people are more likely to assume we're dating than brother/sister. I will always remind him at various holidays of how he missed my college graduation while at the same time remembering how he got up at 4am to come yell my mile splits at me during the half marathon and send me the best text ever, yeah I smoked that 10K time Bless his heart, he's taken on the role of what a boyfriend would be to me, this includes but is not limited to: Sonic runs, Friday night movies, after run Smoothie King, going to Target at 8am to get me a signed copy of the new Emily Giffin book, and Emoji heavy texts. I don't need a Dr. Phil special to admit I am overly protective of the younger Pekarsky when it comes to life, but mostly girls and Western Kentucky is NOT that far of a drive, and he knows I'd make it just to mean mug someone it's a talent really And at the same time, he has threatened to drive to Knoxville and defend my honor. Eat your heart out Donny and Marie. 
   So today is a toughie. I left for work and he left for the beginning of the rest of his life. Yes yes I know, I've been in Knoxville for four years and he's only an hour away...but he's my little brother. So Jofus, I will so desperately miss you and your face when mom asks "who was acting like Eyore the other day?" and all those YouTube videos you laugh at by yourself in the dark at the computer and being able to hear your XBOX all the way downstairs no not really actually and hugging you during the Sign of Peace at mass and the ridiculous amount of Powerade in the back fridge and you saying the blessing at dinner every night and yelling good night and I love you down the stairs before bed. No matter how tall or old you get I will always be your Sissi, it's one of my favorite parts of my life. I love you Joe, GO HILLTOPPERS!
