attitude.

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.' 
So she did and she had a grand day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

 

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly,

and pray continually.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

Love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who don't.

feeling so fly like a G-6...

because.....it's F.R.I.D.A.Y yall!

okay, maybe its just me...but...i absolutely friggin' l.o.v.e this family. maybe, its a little tiny wincy bit of an obsession. your probably thinking...ummmmm, okay...didn't you just post something about her. and, the correct answer would be yes! i just can't help it people. i mean really, can you find a more attractive family? in hollywood, yeah probably so. the parents are extremely good looking and the baby boy...ohmy! love that hair! i could just eat him! guess, that's why i'm a little bit obessed. i'm not a religious viewer of the show Kendra! on E, but i'll watch it if i catch it on. for those of you, who may not watch the show...you may recognize Kendra Wilkinson as a former Playboy bunny! {i've always had a desire to dress up like the old fashion Playboy bunnies...ya know, with ears and all. don't ask why.} lol. prior to becoming one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, Kendra worked as a dental assistant. gee, talk about a career change! and, her handsome hubby is Minnesota Vikings wide recevier Hank Baskett. just look at them and tell me they aren't some cuties...

 [who's your momma?]

 [only in hollywood do mommy's look

this good soon after having a baby]

 [you can tell who's the boss]



[they got the newly wed glow]

thinking about families and marriage brings me to...now to some the american dream is to hurry and marry, raise a family, and make a house a home. i'm all for that, but when the time is right. there's no need to rush. i just feel our society has become so fixed on labels that some people feel forced into making lifetime decisions so fast. a lot of people, i went to high school with, went to college, got into a relationship and shortly after got hitched. i'm not one to judge, but this comes up when people ask when's my turn. my reply is...when God and i both feel the time is right. i want a relationship thats built on the foundation of God...i want to be able to truly apperciate the good and the bad. through experience, i feel the struggles we go through make us stronger. if two people can struggle together and make it through the storm, then they can make it through anything. nothing's pefect, this i know. don't get me wrong just because i'm not in any rush to do all of the above doesn't mean i'm scared of committment or a playa of some sort. i've experienced a good solid relationship that almost felt like a marriage...coming home to someone is an amazing feeling, waking up to someone is even better, cooking for someone is enjoyable too and just being able to call someone your better half. the union of any type of relationship is a blessing and a beautiful thing. i applaud and congratulate those who have taken that step and look forward to experiencing the same things one day.

I found this on the internet and absolutely love the writing style. Bold text are my favs :)

*****************************************

Written by, Samantha Mott

I am a student. I have commitments in my classes that are very important ... commitments that I am paying a lot of money to keep. However, I know that sometimes it's more important to bring one of your best friends his favorite pudding at 3am than it is to continue studying. And I know that sometimes, Saturday night trips to the beach are much more needed than a Saturday night doing homework. And if a friend is in need, I will drop everything to be anything I can be to them. I will gladly give up a night of sleep or a few hours of studying because I know that these relationships that I'm forming will mean more to me in the long run than an "A" on a test will.



I love my family. I want to spend time with them. What's more than that ... I enjoy spending time with them. If you don't like it, too bad. Family values are important to me. Eating as a family is important to me. If anyone talks bad about my family, they'll get an earful. Because though they may annoy me sometimes, I will defend them to the death. Even if they're wrong ... if you badmouth them ... I'll defend them. That is something I can promise.


I like going on walks ... I like holding hands. I like going to the beach, no matter what time it is. I like looking at the stars and I love hiking. Camping is one of my favorite things to do -- especially in the summer. I love falling asleep in the arms of someone who loves me ... and I love waking up in his arms as well. I like being kissed on the forehead and having my back rubbed. I love massages no matter who they're from. If you give me one, I will melt. Guaranteed. I love taking pictures; I don't like when people complain that I take too many. I love laughing, I love being silly, I love when people aren't afraid to be silly sometimes. I love cartoons. I love scrapbooking -- no matter how geeky it is. I love to swim and play in the water and I love board games. I love to sing, even though I'm not very good at it. But if you ask me to sing for you, I probably won't. It has to be spontaneous. Music is important to me and I will not tolerate music that is degrading or crude in any way. I love snail mail ... I love cards. I love getting mail, but I like sending it even more. Writing is my passion -- get used to it. Even the simplest language is beautiful if phrased correctly. I don't like when people use "their" instead of "there" or "your" instead of "you're". Once in a while, a mistake is okay ... every time you use it is not.


I have strong opinions ... I will share them, but only when I feel so inclined. Generally speaking, I think before I speak -- especially in large groups. But once you get to know me, I am an open book. Don't be put off by my apparent shyness ... because shy is the last thing to describe me accurately. I love when people open doors for me and pull out my chair for me ... but I usually forget and try to do it myself. I want to be respected -- I want my feelings to be respected and my thoughts to be respected. More than anything else, I want my body to be respected. I know how to be sexy, I know how to be desirable. I choose not to be those things because I do not want what comes when one intentionally creates a sexy persona. I like being told that I'm beautiful ... I like being told I'm sexy -- because those are not things I strive to be ... but I want my boundaries respected.


I'm not always as confident as I seem ... there are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don't want to talk about what is bothering me ... sometimes I just want a hug ... someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me -- when people aren't afraid to show what they're really feeling. I don't like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn't do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. "I know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh." I've been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart ... and my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.


I like playing Nintendo. I like playing with my website. I'm not useless in terms of computers, I know more about them than the location of the "on" button. If I don't know, chance are, I will try and fix it/find it myself ... and then ask for help or I will choose to find another way to do what I'm trying to. However, I know nothing about cars and will always ask for help if I am unsure. However, if it's something I can do ... like checking the oil ... I probably won't let you do it.


I'm not afraid to get dirty ... I enjoy being sweaty because I was working out. It's a good feeling. I don't like to run, I'd rather walk. But I love playing all kinds of sports, no matter how unskilled I am. My nails are not my top priority -- they never will be. I might paint them ... but once I do, the polish will stay on until it wears off, no matter how chipped it is.


I love long showers and the feeling of my teeth after they have been brushed. I do not like the dentist or the doctor ... I'll probably gripe about going to both of them, no matter how necessary it might be. Needles are a phobia -- so are spiders and bugs of any kind. Buzzing is my least favorite sound and it can easily drive me insane. If there is a bee in the room, don't expect me to pay attention to anything else.


I like food, even if it's not good for me. I like Shakespeare, even though I don't understand him. I love to learn -- I ask a lot of questions. Even if you honestly don't know, I will probably continue to ask until you give me an answer. I'm very gullible -- please don't abuse that fact. I like things that make you think, things that make you reexamine your beliefs. I'm not comfortable talking openly about sex.


I do not like being told things just to make me happy. I would rather be told the truth and be hurt than be "protected" and happy. I overreact sometimes. Don't be afraid to tell me I'm wrong or out of line. I like people who are strong enough to face me when I'm raging ... people who will let me angry for a little while ... people who won't think less of me for my somewhat sporadic mood swings. When I'm hurt, I withdraw. I threaten to run away from the situation that is causing me pain. All I want is to be told honestly that I'm loved ... that I should stay ... sometimes I need to hear it multiple times. But if you'll be a little persistent, I'll give in. If I really love you, I might start picking fights over stupid things ... for no reason. It means I'm bored. That things have gotten monotonous. I love just going with the flow ... I don't always want things planned out. I'm indecisive -- there are too many things I would really like to do ... and I'm afraid you won't like what I choose.


I am afraid of being lonely ... of having my heart broken ... of not being appreciated or wanted. Of people not knowing how much they mean to me. I'm afraid of drowning, of choking and of not understanding. I'm not afraid to be myself or of interacting with people who are different than me. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm wrong, but I will rarely admit it publicly.


My friends are the most important people in the world to me. My friends are mostly guys. That does not make me a "whore" or a "slut" or anything of the sort. To be a whore, I'd have to be sleeping with them. PS, I'm not. Get over it. I love my guy friends -- I enjoy hanging out with them much more than I do with most girls. That's just how I am, it's how I've always been ... I will probably always be this way. I will not date one of my guy friends if they have previously dated one of my girl friends. I respect those boundaries far too much to destroy a friendship for a relationship that might not last. My best friend in the entire world ... above anyone else ... is Annie. Regardless.


I like hot popcorn and brand new sharpies. I love paper and journals. I'm a huge packrat. Boy Meets World is my favorite show ... Friends is #2. I love the smell of new books and new houses ... I don't like the smell of new cars or air fresheners. I love bread and soft serve ice cream. I love sweatpants ... I love having my hair in a messy bun. I love being comfortable and I love being told that I'm beautiful, even if I'm in sweats and my hair is a mess. I am just as comfortable in a skirt as I am in sweats. I don't wear make up ... but when I do, I don't like it to be a big deal. I love to work, it makes me feel productive and useful. It keeps me from being idle. I hate feeling useless. I love staying up late and I love sleeping though I will never sleep enough. Coloring is fun ... drawing is not. My dog is better than your dog -- I don't care if he's small.


I love kids. I want 5 ... at least. I know it's a lot of work, you don't have to tell me. My two favorite animals are turkeys and penguins. My favorite color is anything in the rainbow. I don't like math ... I don't understand science. I love reading for hours on end ... especially outside on a sunny day. I love the sun ... I love being warm. However, I love playing in the rain and sitting outside when it's stormy. I like making snowmen and snow angels ... and I like the handprints in the middle when I get up.


I support and appreciate people who can argue their point in an educated manner, who have a logical reason for things -- even if I don't agree. I don't like when people can't support themselves ... I don't like laziness. I'm trying to learn how to disagree without being disagreeable and I admire people who know how. I also admire people who can hula. I like mismatched decorations and sappy letters. I love to cuddle. I love being close. I love having friends and I love laughing with my friends -- especially during class. I love praying ... I love studying my scriptures. I'd rather be cold than hot and I would rather eat chicken than beef. I don't like pork chops. I love bacon and deviled eggs. Christmas and Valentine's Day are my two favorite holidays. I love birthdays and Christmas because they bring people together. I admire integrity and honesty -- I love when people aren't "too tough" to forgive. I love best friends and old friends ... and I love when new friends become old friends.


I don't like alcohol ... or cigarettes ... or drugs. I don't like what they do to people. I will not date someone who uses them. Period the end.


Florescent lights always make people look weird and I don't understand why stores always put them in dressing rooms. I love pinstripe pants. There are a lot of clothes I am too self conscious to wear ... a lot of clothes I don't think I can pull off. But sometimes I'll try. I love good smelling lotions and shampoos ... especially the Victoria's Secret line. I love when guys wear cologne ... I love even more when they only wear it sometimes. I love wearing a guy's sweatshirt when it smells like him. But only when that smell is good. I love when guys are ticklish ... and I love laughing so hard I cry. I love straight teeth. I don't like the taste of coffee ... the fact that I don't drink it has nothing to do with me being Mormon. There are certain four letter words that the world would be better off without and I don't swear because I choose not to, not because I'm Mormon. I will always think I should lose some weight -- I will probably never admit it. I'm not unhappy with the way I look, but I don't always think I'm pretty. If you tell me I look good and I diagree, I'll probably tell you ... but I'm not fishing for compliments. I'm not asking you to roll your eyes and think that I'm doing it because "it's a girl thing." I'm telling you because there are certain days and moments when I really don't feel pretty. Those are the days I change my clothes six times before deciding which shirt I want to wear. Chances are, I won't tell you I took half an hour deciding which shirt to wear ... but chances are, you'll know.


I believe in love. Real, true, amazing, passionate love. I believe in my self ... I believe in other people. I will never give up on the people I really care about, even if they break my heart a thousand times. I believe in God and I know He will never give up on me ... even if I break His heart a thousand times.


I could fill a book with my thoughts ... and someday I will. I want to be published, I want to be known. I love the city ... but I want to go home to my family in the suburbs and be happy. I want to be a soccer mom. I want to be a teacher, yes, and I will be. But I want to be a wife, a mother, and a friend first. I want to help others ... starting with my family. I want to love others ... starting with myself.


I love blankets -- even in the summer. I love fans ... even in the winter. Fresh air and natural light cure just about anything. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a purpose ... that it is up to us to discover that purpose ... and that more often than not, we won't understand ... even if we find an answer. Regardless, I believe that everything works out for the best. Always.


In the words of Langston Hughes --
"I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I don't like words I can't understand ... especially when they're used in everyday conversation. I think clichés are amusing and though I feel weird using them to justify things, I do anyway. But only sometimes.


I like not wearing shoes, but I think my feet are ugly. I wear flip flops in the winter, even when it's raining. I like making sandcastles and playing in the ocean. I'm bad at foreign languages, I don't understand Marxism. I can't dance, but I love to do it. Love songs are amazing, period the end. Herman Melville is an awful writer and I don't understand how he became so popular. I love Christian music ... and I adore the hymns of the church. The best putdown I have ever received came from my manager when telling me why I wouldn't like the movie Office Space. He said, "You're too upbeat -- that's why you don't like it." By the way, I didn't like the movie Office Space. :)


I'm allergic to everything that is outside in the springtime, but I will never refuse an opportunity to go outside.


I like people who can make me laugh ... I love making people laugh. I don't blush easily, but if I do, it means something. I like people who make me think about things ... people who willingly put up with my absentmindedness and like it. Common sense has never been one of my strong points. I'm not afraid to laugh at myself ... nor am I afraid to laugh at other people. I have a hard time letting go and when I love, I love deeply. I'm sincere and genuine ... and I like people who are sincere and genuine. People who respect themselves, boys who love their moms. I want to be adored ... and when I date a guy, I want him to be absolutely stoked about me. And I want it to be okay that I'm stoked about him. I don't want to be told that I'm loved ... I want to be shown. If a guy tries to pay for me, I'll pretend to be objective ... and I'll never expect it ... but I'll always appreciate it. If you give me the chills ... if I let you kiss me ... it always means something. I will never admit that I'm interested in you unless I know you are interested in me. If you hurt me, I'm going to talk to my friends about it ... I'm a relational person, that's what I do. If I'm angry, I will always tell'm not afraid to laugh at  If I'm angry, I will always tell you about it. I will try to work things out and if I have my way, we will work things about before going to bed. I believe strongly in the scripture in Ephesians that advises not to let the sun go down on your anger.


I love giving flowers to boys and I'd rather pick a flower from my front yard and give it to you than buy expensive flowers. I'd rather have a homemade picnic in the park than go to a fancy restaurant. I'm not good at being fancy. I like homemade cookies and handcrafted gifts. I'd rather give you something sentimental than something practical ... but I'm not against practicality. If I'm shopping and something silly catches my eye and makes me think of you, chances are ... you'll be receiving it shortly thereafter. Silly gifts make life enjoyable. :)


Inside jokes are amazing ... remember whens are mind blowing. Getting together with three of your best guy friends from high school and looking at middle school yearbooks -- a year and a half after graduation -- is one of the most amusing things in the world. I love applesauce and apple juice. I don't like eating apples whole. I don't like paying for parking ... and I would rather park farther away if it's free. If something is broken, I'll probably leave it broken until I need it next. My room is usually messy because I usually don't have time to clean it. But eventually I will clean it ... and the next day, it will probably be messy again. It happens. I would rather carry out the plans than create the plans. I love beginnings, but I know that endings have to come before beginnings can happen. Some of the most beautiful things in my life have ended ... but endings bring about strength and teach lessons that could never have been learned otherwise. And I can definitely appreciate that.

love you and love life.

It’s truly amazing how things, people, life, etc. change… but do we really change? Or do we just grow? I believe experiences and life lessons provide us with that extra push to grow and reach our full potential. Sometimes circumstances or situations happen and leave you to pick up the pieces, one by one. Most of us get defeated when things don’t work out the way we wanted – these negative feelings make you feel like a failure. Guess what? Just because things didn’t happen exactly how you envisioned doesn’t make you a failure or a bad person. It just means the next time you know, to do things a little different. You take the knowledge from past experiences and make a conscious effort not to repeat the same mistakes.

I’ve learned you can take any negative situation and turn it into a positive one. It’s all in your thoughts and feelings. If you think/feel things will never change…guess what? Things will never change. It all starts with you! Think positive! Growing up is apart of life and it’s a refreshing, yet a scary feeling at the same time. Along with growing up sometimes we feel the need to remove certain things or people out of our life. Why? Before you think about throwing something out of your life, try looking at it from a different angle…maybe, just maybe it has a little more value than you’ve considered. God gives us as many chances as we want. Why not take them? There free. And who doesn’t like free???

Everyday is a new day to start fresh…its up to you to make it happen! I am so thankful for a new outlook and renewed faith in my abilities and myself. It would be easy for me to dwell on the negative, but I choose not to. I choose to start my day thanking the man up stairs for another day of life and vow to have a wonderful day. I have so much to be thankful for and I am truly blessed. And, so are all of you! Life is all about growing, loving yourself and others, and just enjoying you. The sky is the limit! Push yourself to achieve all of your desires. It can happen, you just gotta believe and have faith. Stop planning and just embrace life with both arms. Live everyday and just be happy! Yes, its that simple! I am so happy and cannot wait to start a new year in just a few short weeks. I’m getting on a train filled with hope, faith, love and happiness… and I’m taking everyone with me. 2011 is going to be wonderful and exciting new year!

Happy hump day!

What your eyes do not see in the physical, you mind must see in the mental. The less your eyes can see the more your mind must envision. The Law of Attraction requires nothing of the physical eyes. Seeing through the soul, seeing with the mind, & seeing clearly in detail what you desire is, that's The Secret to true vision.

theres always a little...

happy happy tuesday!!!

you gonna touch the sky babygirl.

finals are this week.

yikes. kidding.

i'm gonna pass with flying colors.

keep your doors and windows open.

A healthy relationship keeps the doors and windows wide open. Plenty of air is circulating and no one feels trapped. Relationships thrive in this environment. Keep your doors and windows open. If the person is meant to be in your life, all the open doors and windows in the world, will not make them leave. Trust that truth.

smile :)

your probably thinking, didn't you just have some days off because of Thanksgiving last week? um, yeah...soooo what! i have some vacations days to burn and i have a hair appointment tomorrow. this hair of mine is in need of some serious loving. for real ya'll. the best part of getting your hair done is having it washed. ohhhhmmyyy! i love for someone with nails to wash my hair. there's no other relaxing feeling like it. along with getting my hair did, i plan to start my Christmas shopping. my family has never been to big on Christmas gifts, but this year we've decided to do stocking stuffers only. and i'm in charge of getting the stockings. so, you best believe...i'm gonna find the biggest stockings ever! lol. i don't have too much going on this weekend, other than studying. ugh! finals are next week! yikes! soooo, my post today is just a little random. but, at least you'll get your celebrity fix and maybe even a laugh or two.

{feel the wind on your skin..}

oh how i miss these lovely drama filled ladies.

i really enjoyed watching them, mainly because of their wonderful fashion taste.

but, also for their petty arguments, back stabbing ways,

crazy relationships, ideal jobs and awesome vacations.

R.I.P - The Hills

have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

must see. like right now.

if you don't know, now you know...i lovvvvvve me some movies.

yes, its true!

i can spend a whole day just eating popcorn and watching movies. i love days like that! this past weekend, i had the pleasure of going to the movies not once, but twice...

now ladies, what other reason do you have to have, to go see this movie other than seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in the nude??? say whatttt? yes, he's naked...several times...and little miss Anne Hathaway also flashes some skin. needless to say, there's a lot of "grown up activity" going on in this movie. if ya know what i mean. personally, i think i would have done a much better job playing Anne's role, but she did okay :) Jamie (Gyllenhaal) plays a charming pharmaceutical rep who basically melts every girls panties off with his looks, until he meets Maggie (Hathaway). Maggie gives him a run for his money before finally deciding to meet for coffee...basically, they develop a friends with benefits type of relationship and vow to keep it just that. ummmm yeah, i won't give any more details...but the movie is pretty darn good. at least to me it was. the humor, raunchy sex and relationship conflicts, we can probably all relate too...and you may even shed a tear or two.

if your looking for an adrenaline rush, on your edge of your seat kinda movie...then you got it! and bonus, its inspired by actual events! the ohsocharming Denzel Washington plays a veteran train engineer who basically tries to stop an unmanned runaway train from crashing into high populated area, along with new actor Chris Pine. the plot of the movie never slows down, kinda like the train the duo is chasing. get it? lol, sorry...corny moment. the action scenes, humor and attractive cast make this movie pretty awesome. then again, i can watch any movie with Denzel and love it!

go buy your tickets now!
