Happy Sunday :)

For Someone Else..

People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don’t happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it’s just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else.

White Out

The One

I’m the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Be Good

Closer

?

Have you ever noticed.. how a question mark looks like half a heart “?” Maybe because everyone wants to find their answer.

Beautiful

Helping Other People

I want to live a life that someone will remember. Not because I made a ton of money, or recorded a hit song, or won an Oscar, or invented something great. I want someone - anyone to remember me as the person who changed their life for the better. Because that’s really what it’s all about - helping other people.

"Earn Your Stripes"

Walk

"As I follow
behind you
I cling
to the trail
of breath
floating from
your lungs.
I will
crawl up it
until I reach
your lips."

Wish I Was Here...

Love Them.

Best Places to Meet Dudes

FACEBOOK: you may or may not have heard of this little gem. Simply start scrolling through friends photos until you find a hot dude. Next step: friend request. Next step: send a message inquiring if you’ve ever met before. Next step: mention your weekend plans offhandedly, like: “Oh ya, we’re going to Bar Chloe Saturday night”. Next step: Make out at Bar Chloe on Saturday night.

THE GYM: This one is obvious. Hot dudes go to the gym on the regular. So should you. Wear a really cute outfit. Venture into the weight area and ask an unoccupied hot dude if he can show you an exercise for (fill in area of your body). Another excellent option is to hit up the yoga class of a hot woman. You’ll be amazed at how many men attend these classes. Strike up a convo with the guy next to you about how intense the class is.

THE HOTEL POOL: everyone is friendly at the pool, especially on vacation. Great way to make some friends over lunch and a swim.

COFFEE SHOPS: Everybody is smushed into a small zone at Starbucks. Pick a table, bring a computer or book and keep one eye peeled for a hot guy cruising through the door. When one enters, put your book down and give yourself an excuse to get up and be seen by him. Get a pack of sugar, a glass or water or a napkin. Make eye contact a few times. See what happens.

My # 1

Sincerely,

Your little girl.

Heroes.

Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn’t wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else’s. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.

Yummy in my Tummy!

Choices.

No one else can ever make your choices for you. Your choices are yours alone. They are as much a part of you as every breath you will take, every moment of your life.

Amazing Moments.

This Will Be Our Life & It Will Be Beautiful.

Let...

"Let God have you, and let God love you - and don’t be surprised if your heart begins to hear music you’ve never heard and your feet learn to dance as never before."

Wedding Year! :)

Love all you guys and I wish you a happy long life together full of love. Xoxo

Dear Old Love...

"You broke my heart. But I take comfort in knowing you’ll never be able to hurt me again"

"While I was busy pouring concrete for the foundation of us, you were busy writing her initials in it before it could dry"

"I blamed everything on our age difference. Now I realize that was the least of our problems"

"You thought I was great then. You’re missing out on even more greatness now"

"I miss the day when I punched you with my ice cream cone and gave you the only mustache you’ll ever get—a vanilla one"

Rethink..

Crazy Cool.

Timing

“when the stars line up
and you catch a break
people think you’re lucky
but you know it’s grace
it can happen so fast
or a little bit late
timing is everything.”

Right Reasons

There’s nothing like the deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Everything To Me....

Hoping.

"I knew that there were no guarantees. No way of knowing what came next for me, or him, or anybody. Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there."

Kiss Camera..

Love It!

Old School :)

My Best Friend.

Or What

You smiled and said to me, Are you gonna kiss me or not? Are we gonna do this or what?

Melts My Heart..

Moment..

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

Adorable! I DIE!

Can't Wait..

to hold your hand
to introduce you to my mom…and my brother and my sister and my dad
to walk with you in the park when it’s snowing
to drink hot chocolate with you and eat macaroni & cheese with you
to have you touch my hair and to hide my face from you when I’m blushing and have you tell me I’m beautiful
to pray in tongues with you and watch you worship the Lord
to see you get excited when something clicks for you
to freak out about a revelation in front of you and have you laugh and tell me you love me
to love you and experience God’s love through you

Worth It.

When things don’t work out in life, that’s out of your control but you have a choice, a moment, where you decide to build your own life. It’s putting aside your hurt, your pride, you’re anger and making things happen. It’s never easy but it’s usually worth it at some point.

Amazingggg.

Ask For..

Don’t look for the guy with rock hard abs. Don’t look for the guy with perfect hair. Don’t look for the guy who can sing. Don’t look for the guy who tells you you’re hot. Look for the guy who has a little more meat on his bones, that isn’t 100% muscle. Look for the guy who’s hair doesn’t look blow dried and straightened. Look for the guy who cant sing, but would sing you to sleep either way. If he makes you laugh, smile, and feel beautiful in your own skin, what more can you ask for?

Hugging

Hugging is good medicine. It transfers energy and gives the person hugged an emotional life. You need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance, and twelve for growth. Scientists say that hugging is a form of communication because it can say things you don’t have words for. And the nicest thing about a hug is that you usually can’t give one without getting one.

Ohh My. LOVE.

Blazaaa.

Best Reason

We don’t need to rush. If somethings bound to happen, it will happen. In the right time, with the right person and for the best reason.

I Want This..

2011 Baby!!

Happy New Year Dolls!!! Make it the best one yet! So much to look forward to this year! :))

Meet The Housewives of Beverly Hills

If your holiday season was anything like mine, you spent most of your time molding your food-stuffed body into the familiar contours of your parents’ couch. Lucky for us, most TV networks produced no new material, as the stress of that would force an occasional hunt for the remote controller. No sir, none of that. Instead, we wasted hours upon hours latched onto marathons of some sort, the best of which, we all know, was The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo.

Although the show has already been on for weeks, the hysteria is dizzying. With franchises already in Orange County, New York, New Jersey, and Atlanta, one might deduce this empire of catty women with fickle dilemmas has grown tired. And then a light shined down into Beverly Hills opening up a refreshed world of the same addicting cuss-storm.

Why is Beverly Hills worth our time? First and foremost, these women are rich. Like, let’s go to Vegas to visit the hotel I own, my bedroom alone is 2,500 square feet, my daughter’s fourth birthday party cost $60,000, type of rich. These lasses put more weight in jewelry on their ears than food on their plates (and to be fair, they eat more than you’d think). Second, without even opening their mouths, these housewives’ endearing - but mostly beleaguered - lives draw inescapable interest. Third, and most importantly, there is something profoundly tragic about this sextet. Sure, while some individuals definitely have their lives together and have proven they don’t need to leech fame and fortune out of the glittery world around them, others appear to be deeply affected, beaten down, and disappointed by their own fortunes, now realizing the life they sought and obtained is not the life of their childhood dreams.

With that sentiment, let’s meet the girls!

Taylor Armstrong: Taylor is from Oklahoma, which allows her to scream, “I’m about to go all Oklahoma on your ass” when she feels cornered, though this threat is undermined by the fact she weighs no more than forty pounds . She is blond, rail thin, has large lips, and is married to a condescending and nerdy curmudgeon named Russel, who has emotionally boxed her since the beginning of their relationship, evident from the first episode when she told cameras she seeks youth and beauty because she knows her husband could leave her at anytime for someone younger and more beautiful. Red flag much?

Lisa VanderPump: Lisa VanderPump is a British restaurateur, who according to her own intro, “knows everybody.” It’s not surprise. For freaks sake, I want to know her. VanderPump is bling-blinging, watches over her gay ex-model permanent house guest BFF named Cedric, and has been married to the same man since she was 21 - a spunky Brit who could have played James Bond in his prime, but has aged into someone who probably spends most of his time forwarding emails to old chums and chasing endangered species around his sprawling estate. Best of all, she has a daughter named Pandora. Pandora VanderPump. You know you’ve made it in the world when you can unironically name your daughter Pandora VanderPump. That pretty much says everything about my favorite housewife of all time. Lisa Vanderpump, mother of Pandora.

Kyle Richards: Kyle Richards looks like Demi Moore, with sharp features that are unmistakably bitchy. And to be fair, she does have several aggressive qualities that accommodate her intimidating front. On the other hand, Kyle seems like a stable mother, complete with a hunky and caring husband, and four drug-free children. Her co-star and sister, Kim, is a different story.

Kim Richards: Kim and Kyle are both Paris and Nicky Hilton’s aunts, though Kim is the only one who would say this in the first thirty seconds of meeting someone. Kim is the only single lady of the group, which is another facet of her life she makes abundantly clear to any victim within earshot, because Kim, you see, is obsessed with her own loneliness. Kim is nervous. Kim is always on the defense. Kim grips to her past as a child actress, to her present as a uninvolved aunt to a volatile social icon, and because of this, has had trouble paving a future with any sort of permanent companion.

Camille Grammer: Think real hard. Where have you heard the last name Grammer? Think, think, think! DING! KELSEY GRAMMER! But do you even know who the hell Kelsey Grammer is? Camille does. Oh man, Kelsey’s Grammer’s wife, Camille, will tell you over and over and over and over again that 1, she definitely does not live in Kelsey’s shadow and 2, that loves to douse herself in Kelsey Grammer’s money, numerous properties, career, two children born via two surrogate mothers, and tennis “partner” and man “friend” Nick, who clearly, Kelsey also pays for. So to answer your question, no she does not live IN Kelsey Grammer’s shadow, but rather WITH Kelsey Grammer’s shadow. You see, Mr. Grammer has gone to New York City all season long to star in La Cage aux Folles on Broadway, leaving Camille to pick delusional fights with fellow cast members and meekly laugh at her own breathy jokes and convoluted stories. Oh, just before the show premiered, but after they filmed, Kelsey and Camille filed for divorce. Don’t worry about good ol’ Camille, though. She and her four nannies (for two children, remember) will find solace in the $50 million settlement Kelsey will foot.

Adrienne Maloof: Before this show, you probably hadn’t heard of the Maloofs, hadn’t you? They own the Sacramento Kings, the Palms Casino, and are one of the largest single share holders of Well Fargo. Adrienne is the only girl among brothers, but is no princess within her gilded clan. Instead, Maloof is a business woman who loves to do karate around the house and show her plastic surgeon husband who is boss by roundhouse-kicking the silicon out of his post-op nose. Despite her gaudy, Beverly Hills, one pair of 8-inch gogo boots shy of a transvestite, look, Maloof is surprisingly down-to-earth, motherly, and contained.
