Today I am craving....



A New York City strawberry tart! In New York there are bakeries everywhere you go. At night when my friends and I were settling down after an eventful day we would stop in one close to our hotel and we would try something new every night. All of their sweets were to die for, however the reason I am craving a strawberry tart today is: I went to a bakery with my mom the other day and I saw a row of strawberry tarts and when I took a bite it just wasn't the same...:(

Spotlights!

I know I have been poor at doing my weekly spotlights...maybe I'll change it to "monthly spotlights", or "whenever the hell I feel like it spotlights." But nevertheless here it is! I have two this week, I couldn't choose one over the other.

Spotlight NĂºmero Uno:



Ever feel that to be environmentally safe you have to sacrifice your dominant arm? I picked up a book that if you are a girl is actually pretty useful, if you are however,a boy, about half of the book would be useful...stereotypically speaking... Don't let my opinion offend you. It tells you tons of minor changes you can make in your life that will help you to become more environmentally savvy. Not only does it help you do more for the environment it helps you become more healthy. There is a great section on meditation, and great workout tips. I haven't read all of the book, but so far I have been pretty impressed with it.

Best For Last:



I actually give this four stars! **** Being a freshman in college now, I am taking a writing class and need desperate help with my grammar. That is how I stumbled across this. Here are the reasons why I am spotlighting Grammar Girl:

A. It is Free (Go to iTunes and search grammar girl)
B. She makes a tedious subject fun to listen to.
C. The longest lecture is seven minutes; it is short, witty, and too the point.
D. Its very convenient, you can plug it into your Ipod and listen to it while you work, and whatever else.
E. You learn a lot from it.

Random thought...

Its funny how sometimes no matter how hard you plan things they always turn out different. And more often than not, it isn't bad...it is just different. I am reminded of an old dutch saying which roughly translated means: "Don't fret it will happen differently anyhow."

I think its important that we remain open, ready to work with the changes, because if you are grounded you can never move from that spot, it is harder to grow, and too learn some of life's most valuable experiences. Sometimes I feel that I need to act more like water, when water is trapped it finds a new path.

I had another random thought while thinking of life and plans... let's face it many of us fret over our "life plans." I think that it is important to keep this in mind when dealing with important plans...Plan to be surprised.

Flash Back



I saw that Rach had a "flash back" on her page and it inspired me to do one of my own. Here is one to the cutest girls in the world, lol chels looks so young here, and I have short hair...lol. This picture was taken at Brianne's wedding...the one time I actually caught the bouquet, the fortune on it said that I would marry my high school sweet heart...lol guess we'll see someday.

A little late...sorry

Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads in the world, and to all the dads in my life. My life and the lives of many others I'm sure have been truly blessed because of you you.







Decisions Decisions...

I haven't decided what I want to do with my bathroom yet....it is need of remodeling though, it hasn't been redone since we moved in....

Here are some interesting shower curtains I have found, the nice thing about them is if I move to a crap-shack apartment or dorm house for college I can take it with me lol. Anyway if you have any input on what I can do for my bathroom let me know!









I am almost tempted to get this talking toilet paper roll, offered by Urban Outfitters.....Here is the ad for it:
"Talking TP Roll...oh, how we love you. This magical battery-powered fun machine records and plays back any message. Just press "Publish Postcord" button, say what's on your mind, load up with some TP and you're ready to go. Your message will play whenever paper is pulled. It's fun waiting to happen. Imported. Wipe clean."
Sounds like a blast huh?
