Kimberly wanted everyone to know that her internet is currently down, but wanted everyone to know the highlights of her first day:
Rehearsals went great, a very long day though!!! About to hit the sack and get prepared for another day of production. She does get to sleep in - at least 'til around 9 AM.
She sounds great. Enjoying her roommates. Off to a great start!!!!

MISS ALBANY ARRIVES IN COLUMBUS, GA!!!
Hello Albany!!!
Kimberly arrived in Columbus, GA today and "moved in" for MISS GEORGIA WEEK!!! After a completely nutritious lunch at BURGER KING (where she had it her way!), we dropped her things off at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts where the pageant is held. You can only imagine all the hanging racks and dresses that lined the hallway, not to mention all the unmentionables in the dressing room!!
From there, we went to the apartments and checked in for the week!!!! After several trips up and down stairs, elevators, and hallways, we found her apartment and unloaded a UHAUL - just kidding, but close to it!!! There, we unpacked and got things settled. The scene for the day was everyone watching myself and Kimberly's dad make her bed. My only question is: Why were they looking at us as if we don't do that at home?. HA HA.
A bonus in her apartment are her hostess "mom", Janet, and two lovely roommates: Briana Jewett and Melissa Eldridge. From the looks and sounds of things, this apartment has got it "goin' on!"
At 3 pm sharp, she had her first meeting, so that meant we had to depart!!! Fond farewells to Kimberly and we were back on the road to ALBANY, where we will spend time packing, packing, and packing to return to Columbus on Wednesday for the start of preliminaries.
GOOD LUCK MISS ALBANY!!!

Uh oh.. The Countdown is Over! I LEAVE TOMORROW!
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! My parents along with Scott, Mandy, and the girls are taking me to Columbus, GA, and dropping me off. I can’t believe it is finally here; I feel like I’ve been anticipating this day since the Sunday after Miss Albany (FYI—That was back in September!) This week due to strict orders I decided to rest up. I’ve enjoyed my last week before things turned to mass chaos.
Earlier this week, Ms. Cathy Scott came into town to finish some alterations to my talent outfit. She is PHENOMENAL to say the least. Everything fits like a glove, and I couldn’t be happier with my entire wardrobe, which came from Mr. Keith Pittman at Lasting Impressions! As Mandy would say, I definitely am willing to win in it as well as to lose in it!
Last night, the crew came over and helped me label and pack everything. It is absolutely insane everything that I have to take. Not only do I have to take all my competition stuff, but I pack EVERYTHING that I need to live in a dorm for a week. That means I need sheets, pillows, towels, blankets, garbage bags—THE WORKS! It’s really crazy. But I think we’ve got it all done.
Today, I enjoyed a manicure and pedicure after lunch (chili cheese fries from Krystal—YUMMY!) and a massage at the Comfort Zone. I definitely needed to relax and take my mind off everything.
Before I ship off, I’ll let you all know my basic schedule for the week:
Saturday—Check-in, Rehearsals
Sunday—Rehearsals
Monday—Rehearsals
Tuesday—INTERVIEW! Just cross your fingers for me!
Wednesday—Swimsuit! THINK SKINNY!
Thursday—Talent! Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend!
Friday—Evening Gown and On Stage Question! Prelims are over!
Saturday—Miss Georgia Farewell Luncheon for Chasity Hardman, 1ST RUNNER UP TO MISS AMERICA
Miss Georgia Finals and Crowning of our new Miss Georgia
Sunday—Either Check-out OR Sign Miss Georgia Contract! (Let’s hope it’s the latter!)
Also, I won’t have my cell phone on me for the majority of the week. We aren’t allowed to have them in rehearsal, etc, but I will have it with me when I’m in my apartment. If I don’t respond to a text or a phone call, please don’t get offended; they are much appreciated but the week is just super busy.
Lastly, I will TRY to blog nightly for everyone to keep up with me during the week, but I can’t promise that I will get to it every night since I definitely need my sleep. However, I promise you will get a complete recap eventually! I can’t tell you how much everyone’s support over my preparation means to me, but this week is when I need it most. Please feel free to leave me a comment on here or on my Facebook. It would mean the world to me, and if you can’t make it to the pageant, the Columbus station will broadcast it every night on the Internet. You can find it at http://www.wrbl.com/rbl/miss_georgia. It starts nightly at 7:30!
Much love,
Kimberly

Beauty Is Pain!
Wow! Today marks one week until I leave….I really can’t believe it! This past week has been nonstop preparation, and to be honest, I’m not exactly sure what I am running off of at this point. Adrenaline, I guess.
So, here is a quick run down of everything I’ve done this week to get ready! Monday, I went to a fitness class at Tony’s called “Butts and Guts.” There is a warning on the class description that says it is only taught once a week due to intensity. I guess I should have listened to the warning because Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I couldn’t walk or dance. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty much the same. Workout, tan, dance, errands. However, I did have to take a break from all the prep to celebrate my darling Wiggles’ 15th Birthday!! We cooked steak and wore birthday hats!
Thursday, I decided to take a spinning class to see what all the hype was about. I actually really enjoyed it. Warning: IT HURTS TO SIT ON THE SEAT. Seriously, everything about working out is painful. Ha, but beauty is pain… I guess. By the time Friday rolled around, I was exhausted. I repeated my daily routine, but for some reason had a few minutes of spare time in the afternoon. I debated taking a nap, and finally decided that I had earned it. I curled up in my bed, put my head on the pillow, and all I could think about was everything I should be doing instead of sleeping. Finally, I feel asleep—but not for long. You will never believe what happen. My mom came into my room, walked over to my bed, looked at me and said, “What are you doing?” ARE YOU SERIOUS?! My eyes are closed, the lights are out. Can you not see that I am trying to SLEEP?! Oh well, I had to pick on her for that. It is hilarious now, but at the time, I was livid.
Today, I woke up and spent a few hours with Scott, Mandy, and the girls at the dance studio, and then Daddy took me shopping for my rolling tool box to put all my shoes and jewelry in back stage. It’s the first thing he has been able to take me to get. I think (or hope) he was excited that he finally was able to do something. However, I think my favorite part of my week was the fact that I spent more time picking out eyelashes and fingernail polish than I did deciding on my competition wardrobe. It’s the small decisions that I can’t make…Grr!
Well that’s all for now. Make sure to keep checking back as I count down the final days!

And So The Countdown Begins...!
Hi!
I’m Kimberly, Miss Albany 2009, and I’d like to welcome you to my Miss Georgia blog. Here, you will be able to keep up with everything I’m doing in these last thirteen days before I pack up and leave for Miss Georgia. I will also continue to keep you posted all during Miss Georgia week when I have free time from rehearsals and other daily activities!
I must say that this weekend was such a blast! Saturday, I had my “On To Miss Georgia” party at my house, and I got to show off my entire Miss Georgia wardrobe. For everyone who got to come, I really hope you had a great time because it meant so much to me that you were there! I also had some friends up from FSU, which was such a blast because I haven’t gotten to see them all summer since I’ve been home preparing for Miss GA.
Tonight, I had dinner with Scott and Mandy (Miss Albany Executive Directors) and their two daughters, Hannah Grace and Emily (I get the best advice from these two!) Hannah Grace didn’t like the idea of my wearing yellow eye shadow and yellow lipstick for interview; I told her I thought the judges would love it, but she nixed that idea really quickly. Darn, haha! At dinner, we just talked about my final preparation, things I need to buy, and things I need to make sure I pack. I really can’t believe it is right around the corner; keep your fingers crossed that the final tweaks go according to plan!!!
Bye for now!
Kimberly
