Free towels!

2009-07-19T10:17:00.000-04:00

Laundry in this house is no joke! I am so sick of washing scrubs and towels!!!! How do 2 of us use so many towels?? Why do we even have this many towels?? And there's like 5 out there by the pool?!? We do the same thing with cups.. Gonna start hiding cups and towels in the closet. Ridiculous.

Miley's pink poodle Penelope, who likes to wear matching clothes lost it's life in a tug-o-war battle tonight. She will be missed :-( LOL

Well. I suppose I am now a non- smoker. I keep hearing how you have to relace every habit with another.. but I think I've ran out of options *L*

I'm amazed however, by the psychological effect cigarettes have had on me. The association they have in my everyday life..walking outside, driving, after dinner etc. My routine seems all out of whack! Its my basic instinct to grab a lighter when I walk outside for ANYTHING. I threw my lighters and ashtrays away in hopes it would change that but its still got that hold on my brain. Kinda odd, I don't crave the nicotine, or even the cigarette, it just feels like I don't know what to do with myself. Like I'm forgetting to do something.

Gotta retrain my brain! But I am so proud of myself :-)

Treated myself to a new cute haircut and some expensive perfume..I just feel cleaner and freshhhhhhh, baby. hahaha

xoxox

My thighs are too big

Do you ever wonder if your pet could talk what they would sound like? I think Pork Chop would have like a french accent and call us Pa Pa and Ma Ma..probably wear a beret and smoke cigars all day. He's very astute. And he also eats asparagus :) He just reminds me SO much of Triumph the insult dog! *LOL*

Oh Jon..

2009-07-13T21:42:00.007-04:00

Check out Jon Gosselins new woman/skank? (sorry)

I bet Kate is dying!! *lol* I particularly enjoyed the new girlfriends mugshot. It was on E! as well as all the pics on her facebook of her hitting the hash pipe. Seems like a wonderful addition for the 8 kids *L*

Punky Brewster all grown up :)

2009-07-12T22:11:00.002-04:00

Punky is cuter than ever! I love following Soleil Moon Frye on twitter. And ..think her new website is lovely. Love her little seedling blog! She is just a super creative and insightful person with a really big heart :-) So if you tweet- she's one to follow!

RAIN!!

2009-07-12T17:25:00.006-04:00

Thank you Lord! It's pouring! I've never been so excited to see rain.. What a wonderful break from these hot few weeks. As much as I love the sunshine, sometimes watching the rain cleanses the soul!! My friend Nelle always laughs when I tell her after it rains here it becomes a steam bath..haha she lives in Seattle so she has no idea what a good Louisiana summer shower is ;-)

mystery solved

2009-07-12T17:12:00.004-04:00

I've been trying for a while to find out about the gold car Kat Von D drives..seems like that would be fairly easy info but I don't know that much about cars, so..NOT SO MUCH. I finally found a pic of it and it says it's a 1951. I know it's HOT! Love it!!

Look how fabulous! Love the wide white walls!

I love these vintage funnies..

2009-07-12T15:22:00.006-04:00

I have hundreds of them in a folder :-)

I am- who I is.

2009-07-12T02:20:00.004-04:00

Well it was a good day.. in almost every aspect. I was however, told that I can be sharp tongued. That confused me. I even had to look it up *L* I am sarcastic, but never with bad intent. If I take the time time to poke around with you, then sarcasm is almost like flattery? It was also added that I am moody! Well..my response to that is, HELLO, I am a girl. But, actually I think I'm well balanced. I can be very serious, sympathetic and kind. But I can also be silly and light-hearted. I guess I will be more careful of the way I say things... or not (haha) Over thinking this would be very unlike me, but it really surprised me, because I think so much of this person.

My father was always silly. He could crack jokes at a funeral and it always made my mother crazy hehe. I'm a lot like that too..I cope better with laughter INITIALLY. It's just who I am- I am inherently silly.

Has anyone seen my chicken?

Ahhh to be young again!

Dragonfly, am I

In a dream
I was skimming across
the top of the lake,
cool mist on my cheeks
and tickling my toes.
Morning had touched
the skies and I
was as much a part of
the dawning day as the
sun that yawned and stretched
and the clouds that whispered by,
the fish that spied a meal
and the loon who called her young.

I speed over mirrored waters
with a grace all my own.
I am the wind embodied
in a slender, delicate frame.
I am the very essence of strength,
yet so close to nothingness,
I am hardly here.

When I alight upon a friendly dock
to warm myself and say hello,
I wake to find my lacy wings
have gone as has the night.
And I am simply me
with a dreamy memory
of being truly free.-

really! haha

awesome

2009-07-11T16:43:00.003-04:00

Oh no he didn't!

2009-07-11T16:11:00.005-04:00

I'm so disappointed in Jon Gosselin :-( I think he's having an early semi-mid life crisis. WHY would she even want a guy with 8 kids??? She's crazy too! You can have him honey!

Crayola Girl :-)

2009-07-11T05:40:00.006-04:00

I love that new crayola-walmart commercial! I'd love a photo of her! And the song- It's La Vie En Rose - Louis Armstrong .. Just wish it wasn't so short :(

And here's the full version by Louis Armstrong (beautiful):

It's been a while..

2009-07-11T04:54:00.007-04:00

I'm gonna get back to it.. blogging that is..or at least try. Its my nature to be flighty so we will see how long I hold out ;) But seriously- I really am going to try and make myself start using this blog again everyday. My last post was like Feb. of 2008! haha It's good to look back on life though..I just did that and ended up deleting a lot of stuff because I was so shocked at how much my life has really changed in the last year. For the better I think? The hard stuff has become funny somewhat.. I've regained my laughter and ability to let MOST things roll off. I've never been good at being serious. It brings out the worst in me ;)

I feel things evolving right now, and for the first time I'm not going to predict anything.. it always sets me up for disappointment- but I feel so hopeful about life, and for the lives of the people I love. But I'm not betting on anyone but me ;-)

So anyway.. you can find me here ;-)
Lots to talk about!!
I'll be getting married this year. YAY!
I stopped smoking!
And, I have two adorable babies, Miley and Pork Chop!

Guess what I'm about to watch??

2009-07-10T17:58:00.000-04:00

For the millionth time!

summertime :-)

I'm reading this book that's really touched my heart. I don't want to go into that right now, so I'll save it for another blog. But one thing she suggests, is writing a letter to your former self. The idea is that when you address yourself in the past you realize how much you really have changed. I thought that sounded kinda cheesy , but then I really thought about it... If I could go back and talk to myself when I was 20 years old...what would I say? What could I possibly say that would have had any bearing on me?

I had a lot of trouble writing it in the form of a letter. I kinda felt like a weirdo. So I just made a list.. Maybe I really wouldn't be so screwed up now if someone had told me these things.. of course, they probably did...*LOL*
................................................................

1.) Tell the truth. TELL THE TRUTH. TELL THE TRUTH. Even when it hurts like hell and its scary. It all comes out in the wash.

2.) Seek out God, or something to believe in. If you have that- hang onto it and nurture it and learn to live in it. It doesn't seem important when you are young sometimes...you think you have time to find that later.. but trust me there will be a huge void in your life. And you will recognize it the faces of the people around you who DO have that and start to realize they are much happier people because of it.

3.) Love your parents. They aren't perfect, but they are about the ONLY people who will love you when you aren't either.

4.) Broken families, bad situations, whatever.. they aren't excuses to live your life recklessly.

5.) GET AN EDUCATION. DO NOT think you aren't smart enough or that you're incapable. You will see when you are older that there are a ton of people with fancy degrees that are compete idiots and screw ups... SO..you better get yours too or YOU will be working for THEM one day.

6.) Respect your elders.

7.) Keep your family close, you will be glad you did.

8.) Love your siblings, don't fight with them. Most of the time they are the only people in the world who are genetically,behaviorally and emotionally built like you.

9.) Don't ever think you have everything figured out. The Gods of change will knock your feet smooth out from under you.

10.) Don't EVER EVER get in a relationship where addiction is involved. EVEN if it's your own. It's doomed from the start.

11.) Take care of your body. Everything you are doing now..in your early 20's will be visible in another 10 years. Drinking , drugs, eating bad foods, lack of exercise..you name it. Trust me!

12.) Don't look for a man to fix you. You can't fix him either. accept each other AS you are or you might as well hang it up.

13.) Be a person of character, people will NOT forget the things you are doing now and the choices you are making. People are less forgiving as you get older. Trust and faith is hard to get back once you lose it ( believe me)

14.) FLOSS! FLOSS your ASS off *L*

15.) You cant expect people to forgive you for things you can't forgive yourself for. DO IT and move along!

16.) Suffer the consequences of your actions (SHEW! I MAY BE DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME) don't whine about it or expect immediate gratification simply because you are sorry. You reap what you sew.

17.) Don't ever be one of those stupid people (which I have been) that think or even SAY "What I do with my life or body doesn't effect anyone but myself". That's a selfish way of thinking and you are selling people in your life short, where their love for you is concerned. OF COURSE it effects everyone that loves you.

18.) Say I love you.

19.) Be patient.

20.) PRAY.

21.) Dont try to hide the stupid shit you've done. Yeah it's probably embarrasing and you hate it but dont go stuffing all that inside. Wear that shit like like a badge *L* Thats one less life lesson you have to learn.

22.) Try really HARD to control your negative thoughts, I truly believe you can will bad things to happen sometimes.

23.) Don't lose yourself inside of other people. Figure out what makes you tick.

24.) You can NOT raise the dead.

25.) Accept that there are some things you may NEVER have the answers to. Don't spend 10 years spiraling out of control cause of something you can't make sense out of..cause that doesn't make much sense either.

26.) God says no a lot. Get over it. Ask for something different.

27.) DON'T waste your tears. They are precious and cleansing, and the purest expression of your heart. Don't waste them on people who don't deserve them.

I guess the last thing I'd tell myself is "You are going to be O.K."

I ♥ Christmas :)
