We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary
But it’s a good excuse to put love to use
Life As We Know It
Predictable plot and yet I could not get enough of this movie. Katherine and Josh have great chemistry and it’s really just an all around feel good film. Makes you wonder how your own life will unfold unexpectedly. It definitely made me think of how much my life has changed in the past couple of years and how you never really know what’s around the corner, so you might as well enjoy the unraveled moments you are in. The idea of family is also brought up in this film and what constitutes the norm, which made me ponder on the fact that there really is no norm in life. You have to create and live in a life as you and not anyone else knows it!!! The life I live as I know it right now consists of a lot of amazing possibilities and I don’t want to miss out on any! You create the life you live with what is given to you and making sure your own priorities are lined up correctly is the first step to success. Smile With, Laugh With, Share With, Respect and Love each person in your life a lot each day and nothing can go wrong!
Every Woman Should Know…..
“A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own even if she never wants
to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her
dreams wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black
lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who
lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone
else in her family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a
recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a feeling of control over her destiny…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that her childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t
take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…
or a charming inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…”

A video of ridiculous protestors outside of the Right Nation event I attended on Sept. 18. If you cannot intelligently explain what you are protesting you are being counterproductive. This is what is wrong with America today. Our society has become consumed with poor quality TV journalism and the American people have forgotten to form their own opinios correctly. Everyone has the right to speak their mind and protest if they so wish but it is embarrasing to me to see my fellow Americans being hoarded like cattle on yellow school buses to an event and not being able to stand up correctly for what they “believe in”.
The Chicago Tribune also released an article about the event the Sunday after that was purely one sided and instead of focusing on the fact the event was geared toward raising support for candidates that 5,000 attendees wanted to endorse the Chicago Tribune focused on Glen Beck, a key speaker, and of course wrongly protrayed a man who believes firmily in our constitution, conservative family values and who would only like to see our outrageous deficit come to an end. I dont see how those goals are wrong and I also feel it is ridiculous that he should be protrayed unjustly. He has the right to speak his mind and his supporters are many including myself. So liberal media give it up!
November is coming!!! Time for some REAL CHANGE!
A recession is when someone you know loses his or her job, a depression is when you lose your job and a recovery is when Obama and Nancy Pelosi Lose Their Jobs!!~Beck
A New Year Everyday
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
— Marilyn Monroe
I am starting this blog to remind everyone and myself to think of everyday as a new year! If you stop and think of everything you have learned up to this point and then fast forward twenty years just think how much more you will learn, change and evolve…it’s really an exciting thought!
Recommendations of three of my favorite things; music, wine and books!
Wine: Innocent Bystander Pinot Gris 2008….delicious!!!
Band: Nico Vega
Book: How Starbucks Changed My Life
