2010 sounds way too futuristic for my liking

This year I planned to set out on a beautiful journey.

This was going to be my year!

But unfortunately the third month is hastily coming to a close.

The only thing I have gotten around to is read three Nicholas Sparks books (one of my new year resolutions was to read all his books)

I haven't quite finished "The Last Song" but I'm not even twenty pages from the end.

And I read "Dear John" twice.

I'm obsessed!

My goals for this year:

- Get a job
- Put a penny on a railroad track

- open an etsy shop (I have been working on my hats though, I guess its a step in the right direction)

- Get my tattoo
- Get my belly button pierced
- Get my charity up and running
- Broaden my portfolio
- Let go of the parts of my life I honestly don't want anymore
- Be done with high school (a year early)

- Laugh more

- Don't let the little things bother me

- Do things that scare me, do things I don't necessarily want to, be a better person because of it

- Actually be proud of my body by Summer

One of the things I really wanted to thank you guys for is reading.

Reading my rants and confusing statements and weird point of views.

This blog is getting close to its one year birthday and I've honestly felt like I was blogging to myself since I started.

No comments or new follows since I really started,

until the last few weeks!

In the last 24 hours i've had twenty comments on my blog.

:)

All inspiring and nice too.

You guys are too good to me,

I love it!

Yo Quiero Taco Bell

What ever happened to the Taco Bell Chihuahua?

I miss him

They were always my favorite commercials

Boycott

I am going to have a law against watching the news in my house.

Bombs going off?

ignorance is bliss.

Traffic?

I love adventure!

Weather?

I'm in Texas people!

Wait five minutes,

it'll change.

I mean,

Half the stuff on there you cant believe anyways.

If ONLY you knew all the lies they feed us.

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't leave me feeling depressed or sickly.

I wish they had to say something nice for everything they say bad.

I'm going to start my own televised news station.

I will only talk about good things.

And if the weather sucks,

I just wont tell it that day.

I will also tell jokes.

A lot of jokes

Yep Yep.

Its going to be awesome

He don't belong in prison, though he's guilty as can be. But the only crime he's guilty of is loving me...

Well I ain't here 'cause I drive too fast. / And I'm too young to have a criminal past. / Some good behavior would be alright / But I don't seem to qualify. / I'm just out for a little fun / But I'm guilty until I'm twenty one / I guess I'm doing time for being young

A lot of people don't like this movie,

But I love it.

My mom bought it for me yesterday

(but informed me to watch it while she was at work. She doesn't like it either)

I really want to see it on Broadway.

and I also want this

Beautiful Blog Award

So today was lovely... Very.

But everyday is lovely when you get an award for something you do for fun.

Today I got the "Beautiful Blog Award" that was giving to me but I Ella at one of my blog vices Reve De La Mode

I am suppose to write seven random things and then tag seven others to do the same.

1.

I actually enjoy working out

{and sometimes I talk about water as if its ice cream... I'm strange}

2.

One of the main reasons I wanted a dog was because I hate sleeping alone,

Thankful I got a dog who is the perfect cuddle buddy.

3.

If I drink water that's room temperature I always seem to spill it on myself,

I don't understand it.

4.

I dated someone who went to jail. Granted it was for a unpayed ticket and only twenty four hours.

5.

I pick on people for playing games like "farmville" and such.

I think people who can spend hours on those games are crazy...

but I have a confession.

I'm addicted to sorority life on Facebook

It started out simply as something to do when I was waiting for someone to write me back and now I'm on level 112 and I sound like one of those guys addicted to World of Warcraft or such and scream at the computer when someone steals something from me or something on the game...

I also don't post things about it on my facebook page so no one knows..

How embarrassing.

But I still refuse to waste hours on it,

mainly because I've gotten really good of updating it in 5 minutes :)

6.

I sleep with one blanket,

every night.

ALWAYS.

I just slip it under my own comforter,

hotel comforter,

or friends comforter.

Even if I'm half asleep and move to another room or bed,

I never forget my blankie.

Its not just because I'm some kind of freak.

Someone very dear gave it to me,

I like to keep it close to remind me that they are okay and to remind me to pray for them every night.

7.

The best feeling is logging into blogger and seeing comments or new followers.

Are you guys here for me?

How sweet! :)

Now I get to tag other blogs.

So here I go.

Taking Life One Step at a Time

Someday,

The White Way of Delight

62.) Write a Childrens Book

The first thing I accomplished on my bucket list!

I wrote a short children's story today called "The Monkey That Couldn't".

Its a cute little story about believing in yourself and working for things you want.

I have a a lot of artsy fartsy friends,

I'm hoping I can find someone to do some illustrations.

Trying to figure out what exactly I am going to accomplish next on my Bucket List.

What do you want to do before you die?

the truth is..

I'm not one to tell broadcast my inner emotions online but,

I miss him.

AND

I miss reading Dear John.

Such a good book.

I've read it twice.

even though I wasn't the biggest fan of the movie as I was the book,

I cant wait till it comes out.

Make A Wish

Make a wish and place it in your heart.
Anything you want, everything you want.
Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.
You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from,
the next smile, the next wish come true.
But if you believe it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it. You just might get the thing you're wishing for.
The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
So make your wish. Do you have it? Good.
Now believe in it. With all your heart.

I think my favorite thing about myself is to do just that.

With out fail, If I dream of something,

I don't doubt that I can do it.

You'll go and I'll be okay,

I can dream the rest the way.

It is just a little touch of fate, it'll be okay.

It sure takes its precious time,

but its got rights and so have I.

- Lisa Mitchell

Today I'm so tired.

Its just been one of those days.

I sent a letter today,

Its already gone but for some reason I'm still thinking like I still have the option to take it back.

Sometimes its so hard to talk to people about things, but it needs to be done.

Everyone needs some sort of closure on things or they will always be carrying it around like a monkey on there back.

You don't want the person out of you life but you just don't know what to say,

if your words will make things better, or make them worse.

And then once you do say everything you need to,

the ball is in there court.

What if they don't want to talk to you back?

What if they don't want you in there life anymore?

How are you going to deal with that?

Are you ready for that?

Have you ever been in a situation like that?

P.S.

The bedroom in the picture above reminds me of how much I need to redo my rooms... urg...

March Wishlist

I've been wanting an apron forever, how adorable {source}

I love all the sunglasses at jfaye's etsy.

Super adorable

I'd love this to walk around in all summer.

I'd love this amazingly rad laptop bag to put my new laptop in

Bad Day, eh?

Normally, I'm all about positivity.

But today, I'm just not feeling it.

Probably has something to do with the fact that I haven't slept in two days and finally dosed off around 9:30 this morning on the couch and was having the best sleep of my life,

until some random couple start banging (not knocking!)

on my front door.

Of course I don't answer it,

(maybe I watch too many crime shows but hey, I haven't been murdered, raped, or sold into slave labor yet, so I think I'm in good shape!)

I immediately jump up,

(I'm used to having to unlock the door for my mother)

and then realize it wasn't her, so I grabbed Harley and went to the back room where he wouldn't bark at them.

I didn't know if the people worked here and our apartment complex isn't a fan of yappy dogs!

I realized they slid a paper in the door and it turns out it was a flyer that wasn't even in English!

I woke from my beautiful slumber, woke my dog (which was a headache and a half because for the next twenty minutes he wanted to whine because now that he was awake he wanted to play {while I'm still half asleep}).

I was so angry I couldn't see straight and now I've been awake for hours since then and cannot seem to get back to sleep!

Thanks for the dang flyer that I cant even read random couple!!! urg!

Anyways,

SO

In order to get my frustration out I've decided to name the things that annoy me the most.

Its called my List of Irritations.

Feel free to join in and make your own!

1. Nickelback

Besides the obvious fact that the lead singers voice literally makes me want to commit suicide and the thought of being poked in the eye sounds more appealing then even listening to half of one of there songs, they've also been booed off stage numerous times, every well known music magazine hasn't "gently" dissed them but majorly scared them, they lip sync AND the only one of the band mates you even hear when you pick up the CD is the lead singer, they hire someone else to record the music... To me, I personally think they give music a bad name...

Why are the so popular?

2. Peep hole looker backers!

Nothing enrages me more than to hear a knock at my door, go to look out the peep hole to see who it is and only seeing an eye staring back at me trying to look into my house to see if I'm on the other side of the door! Its MY peep hole to make sure YOU are not an axe murder! So back the heck up! I despise it when people to that, even if they are just trying to be funny or something. Its stupid and it really irritates me.

3. People who look over my shoulder!

This annoys me above all else! (well, kinda).

People who look/ read over my shoulder. If you do it longer than five seconds I WILL say something! And I wont be nice about it. I've been known to last seven seconds. If you make it that long, you should be happy to be alive

4. One word texts

I could not find a picture for this but seriously!? Am I the only one? I'd much rather you not write me back at all, or write me back at a later time than to send me a text just saying "lol" or "k". If you don't have time to focus enough on our conversation to even put a tiny sentence together I'd much rather just not hear from you at all.

5. People who let there super young, bratty kids disrespect adults and do not say anything.

Need I say more?

Hoo Hoo

I've been following Owl City since the beginning and I do quite adore him.

He just dropped his new video for "Vanilla Twilight" (personally, my favorite song by him so far)... what? 10 minutes ago?

Probably less.

Anyways,

here ya go. :)

enjoy

Sell me a sign, i'll cut the telephone line just to keep the quotation alive

I talk about her so much I think its safe to say I have a massive girl crush on this chika!

She inspires me to no end!

Hello World

I know when I went to she Lady Antebellum last week this song inspired me,

thought I would pass it on.

Photo from last night.

I stayed over at my friend Rachel's house.

I love it when pictures don't turn out perfect.

Imperfections make me giddy

Traffic crawls, cell phone calls.
Talk radio screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, And she waves at me
Yeah, She smiles at me

Hello World
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope
In a little girl
Hello world

Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is there
Oh I know he's there
Yeah, I know he's there

Hello world
How've you been
Good to see you my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little grace, little faith unfurled.
Hello world

Sometimes I forget what livin' for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I breathe it in,
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world

All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and Believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world

Rodeo

The last two days I have been at the Houston Rodeo.

There are a lot of things I hate about growing up here,

but the rodeo isn't one of them.

The first night me and my mom went to see Lady Antebellum.

They did amazing.

I didn't think it could get any better than that.

The next day we went back and stayed at the carnival all day

and went to see the animals before the concert started.

They had camel rides... How cool is that?

He likes his ears scratched.

We went to see Keith Urban last night.

He was so amazing! I cant even explain how amazing! He jumped off the stage went all the way around the field, shook everyone's hands, then he jumped the fence, when into the audience, out ran his body guards and did all this while playing guitar.

It's safe to say my love for him has grown.

P.S.

I have more pictures but these are the unedited ones. I didn't feel like editing pictures yet, i'm pooped!

St. Patrick's Day

My blog is wearing some green today so it doesn't get pinched.

I hope you are having a great day.

I was suppose to be getting my tattoo today,

but unfortunately I cant do that today,

which makes me sad.

But,

I do have a lot to blog about today.

So expect more later

I love you guy's by the way,

you're comments always brighten my spirit!

Mr. Famous

Sometimes I get a kick out of the fact I have the same kind of dog Audrey Hepburn had.

Maybe I should had named Harley, Mr. Famous.

No, I like Harley.

But I cant wait to get a bike with a basket so me and Harley can ride around like Audrey and Mr. Famous.

Too Funny

This video makes me laugh everytime, thought I would share

New Obsession

Amazon Kindle Commercials

Good ole' movies

Tonight I really want to watch The AristoCats.

I loved that movie as a kid.

I still have it on VHS.

Yes,

VHS, sounds like such a strange and foreign thing.

Unfortunately my VHS player is old

and messes up

and it needs to be cleaned.

But I don't plan on parting with it,

no way!

There was a time when my world was filled with darkness

Herro

Harley just wanted to stop in and say hi.

He is growing up so fast.

He can now jump up on the couch all by myself.

I'm a proud mama

Pick Up Line

Did it hurt?

Did what hurt?

When you fell from Heaven?

aww..

Cause you're face is messed up!

a good night

DreamGirls was on TNT

I got a new book
And my best friend Frankie (who now lives in Utah) called me!

I'd say I had a pretty good day

I'm currently watching

"Freedom Writers" on TNT

and then I'm going to snuggle up with my new book,

The Last Song

and some tea

and see if I can get to sleep tonight.

I guess i'm a doll

Eek!

How exciting!

This is my first blog award.

Thanks to the lovely and fabulous Sarah at Sarah Says...

Hmm...

I'm awarding this to:

Ella at reve de la mode

Amber at taking life one step at a time

Meg at a twisted fairytale.

and my good friend

Emily at Emily With A Cherry On Top

My hat,

No, I don't know why my eyes are closed in the picture below

It took forever.
I wanted it to fit like this,
but I thought it didn't look right
about halfway through.
So eventually I decided
I was just going to make it
into a purse
but then I realized
after I got I made it
a little bigger it started to look right.

Whew,
finally

My girl crush

Yes, Yes. It is Hayley Williams.

Even if people don't like Paramore's music,

(which, come to think of it, I don't know many people who don't.)

Everyone loves Hayley.

I've never met someone who didn't!

She can dress up and look SO glamorous,

and she can throw on a pair of skinnies and a hoodie and look super laid back (but still fabulous).

She just seems like the type of person who

can get along with everyone.

In example: She is best friends with Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift.

Completely opposite people.

She is so cute and one day I'd love to chill with her.

She seems like a load of fun.

And I'm not even going to get into how talented I think she is.

I'll never stop talking then.

{I'll admit, the first time I saw this I teared up a little}

Man, she even sounds amazing live,

Come on Hayley, have at least one flaw!

P.S.

Below is her tattoo,

the scroll says "shave me".

She said she got it to remind her to shave.

hahaha

I busted out laughing when I first heard that

P.S.S.

Little Hayley!
Okay,

I'm done feeling a complete stalker.

bahahaha

It shoots fine on every other day of the week too

I used to never want a tattoo.

I loved tattoo's,

I just didn't think they were my thing.

Over the years I've changed my mind.

But I still don't think I'm ever going to want a BIG tattoo.

It just doesn't fit who I am.

I'm not really someone who is ever going to have

a huge sleeve on there arm.

I'm not against them,

like I said,

it just doesn't fit who I am.

The tattoo's I want each have a symbolic meaning

and are in places that aren't easy to see.

So when I'm a grandparent

and wrinkly

{yuck}

They will be easy to hide if I no longer want to show them.

BUT!

If I ever did get a pretty big tattoo,

I would definitely get this one.

I love it.

I grew up watching westerns with my grandparents

and at a young age I fell in love with the female

heroins in there pretty dresses

hiding there guns in there garters,

and I knew I wanted to grow up and be just like them.

Dear late nights, I haven't missed you like I thought I would

Late nights have been my life lately.

I do not understand it, nor do I like it. I have suffered from insomnia even as a baby. But as I've gotten older I've been able to help monitor it a little with sleeping pills. But back in the day I used to never sleep and never wanted too. But that was back when I had a life and I was always hanging out with my best friends and partying all night. Now my friends have moved away or are in relationships that take up there time and I have a dog who is like an actually baby human being, who I spend most of my time taking care of. The last few nights I haven't been able to sleep a wink until around twelve in the afternoon and even then I only get a few hours. My sleeping pills have lost all effect. I've been suffering so heavily from health problems, my rest was the one thing keeping me going. I'm praying for an amazing recovery, my mom is talking "doctors", yuck! I'm hoping that once I get out of the house for the first time in forever this coming week I will start to feel like my old self again.

Obsession

• I'm obsessed with Ghost Whisperer
• I'm obsessed with Jennifer Love Hewitt
• I'm obsessed with this picture

Saint Era

"I'll wait by the sea, to hope that my heart will come back someday"

LightParade

So I feel like a bad friend if I don't post something about these guys.

I've known Jeremiah (center) since I was itty bitty,

and I've met everyone in the band and lets

just say they are just about the coolest guys you'll ever meet.

Super nice and fun!

They JUST today dropped some music and you HAVE to listen to it!

{go here}

They've also had some way awesome people

such as Stephen Christian from Anberlin

say some amazing things about there music.

Which you can see here

as well as the must read review.

You wont regret it.

If you are in town sometime you also need to check out a concert.

They sound just as amazing in person!!!

They are going to be the next big thing,

so I'd check them out before there too big ;)

haha

Dear Lord,

If you are listening,

please bring me a Schlotzsky's Vegetarian Pizza.

I honestly believe it is the closest thing to Heaven here on this earth.

I'd never ask for anything again.

At least not for a month.

hehe.
