quote of the day

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

Have you ever felt alone, I mean; completely alone? like no one else in the world existed except for you? I feel that way all the time, even in a room full of people I feel like no one knows who I am, sometimes I don't think I even know who I am; but one thing I'm certain of, I feel like I'm drowning, I am emotionally spent. I should be happy, I should be grateful for everything that I have; but I feel empty...I keep wondering, when will my time come? when will I feel full and satisfied? I just don't know. I do thank God everyday for everything that I have, because what I have is valuable, I know that; but it is not enough.

I feel like I lost something a very long time ago, and have never been able to find it; without it I can never be truly happy, complete, full, or satisfied...whatever it is people feel like when there's nothing else in the world they need.

Sometimes something happens and the empty feeling gets worse, and then something good happens and it gets better; but it never goes away, and I fear that it never will. I guess I'll just continue to pray, this is the reason why people need religion, something to believe in that's bigger than ourselves, even if in the end none of it it's true, our faith and belief is the thing that drives us; that pushes us forward and convinces us of the fact that we are strong and we can do anything.

hang in there everyone,

Twilight Saga, My guilty pleasure

2010-05-08T17:13:00.000-07:00

No this isn't GREAT literature; what it is however, is great story telling for which Stephenie Meyer has a gift. The books so far have been a lot better than the movies, as in most cases; but with Eclipse being released this coming June things are about to get a lot more interesting. I had never heard of Stephenie Meyer before the Twilight books, after reading all four of them I have to say that I've become a fan and even enjoyed her book "The Host". To all of you who like a good store and like to spend time in worlds that do not exist, give it a try...you may find it difficult to stop reading though, just a warning; you may become hooked.

Bicycle Heaven

So, I just got a new cruiser bike from my wonderful boyfriend; he's the best. I'm currently looking for some chic stickers to put on it and an awesome basket. I really wanted to make my own basket; but have been unsuccessful finding any good ideas. I remember seeing this cool knitted basket in a knitting magazine; but I refuse to purchase the magazine just for that one pattern; If anyone has any cool ideas please share : )

If you've never shopped at H&M, go now.

So, I went to H&M this past weekend and walked out with 3 fantastic Items from the sale rack:

Long organic cotton t-shirt
a pair of the new denim leggings with the zipper on the ankles
and an adorable/sexy nightgown

guess how much I ended up paying for everything...$15.00

No, cotton doesn't have to be organic to feel nice on the skin; but I will tell you that this t-shirt is extremely light, soft and well made; and to top it off it was on clearance.

I have been reading a lot about these denim leggings in Fashion magazines; but never though I would ever buy a pair, until I saw these...they are not actually denim, it's more like a soft, light, sturdy fabric, dyed to look like denim, these were also on clearance for a very low price which is why I wanted to give them a try and here's the verdict: I never want to take them off, the most comfortable and stylish things ever.

The nightgown is cute, comfy, and sexy since it has a lot of cute lace detail and the color is fabulous, a dusty rose pink.

Anyway, H&M is not always the most inexpensive choice if you're on a budget; but I suggest you check their clearance racks if you go there, it'll be worth it.
