Please spend your time learning the days of the week!

I BLAME:

Justin Bieber


Britney Spears



Miley Cyrus



and all the other teen acts that have ever come out for helping teens confuse LUST with LOVE! It has teens believing that they need to have a relationship and that it's the only way to be truly happy in the world. Sadly many feel that they haven't experienced a happy life unless they are in a relationship. Please leave relationships to those who are mature enough to handle it! that does not mean it's just for adults because some adults STILL can't tell the difference between lust and love.

Here is a way that you can tell if you are ready for a relationship...DON'T PUT ALL YOUR BUSINESS OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO BE IN!!! its only natural to want to share with others how happy you are and you can but, you should share it with very few people..Here are some examples: putting a post that you are grateful for all your partner does or that you love them (GOOD)....making a daily YouTube video describing why you feel this way (BAD!) Saying you are having a bad day on FB (GOOD)....Writing in "code" that the person in your relationship needs to grow up and you can't believe they did what they did (BAD!)

No one needs to know all of your business and if you are putting your life out there believe me it will be judged so just save yourself the heartache and keep it between you and one or two other people if you really need to talk about it.

I was walking in target the other day and I saw a "couple" they could not have been older than 10 or 11 and I had to ask my self "Why in the world would they add stress of a relationship into their lives?" I am happily married but every decision that I make in my life I have to think about how it will effect someone else and that is a lot of responsibility and sometimes stress.

You know,say what you will about Rebecca Black but that girl has her mind where all 13 year old girls should be. She is worried about LEARNING THE DAYS OF THE WEEK



and if she should sit in the front or back seat with her friends. you know TEENAGE PROBLEMS!!! not "man I loved this person with all my heart and they said they felt the same but I saw them kissing my best friend how could they do this to me? One word HORMONES and when you are a teen they are out of control so why put yourself through that? I think if teens really focus on more important things like learning the days of the week, doing your homework and enjoying the gift of singleness then we would have a lot less JACKED UP ADULTS!!! and that is my thought on the matter.

I Wanna be a Toys R Us Kid!!!

I turn 28 this week and though it may be young to some it still boggles my mind how long ago it was that I was born.. I mean come on not many people have good things to say about the early 80's.

While I was pondering what I have accomplished in my life I realized one thing about myself that I hope will never change. I am a KID at heart and I want to continue being that way forever. When you look at the world through a child's eyes there is so much optimism, imagination and honesty. I try not to let this child out to much ( hey I still have to make a living and interact with adults) but this weekend I decided I would let out my inner child and let it run free!!

I decided to take my husband and two friends to check out a new place it's called Airheads Trampoline Arena and it's AMAZING!!!! I really wish I would have thought of this idea. The trampolines cover 11,000 square feet. We only purchased and hour( hey there may be a child inside of me but my body still knows how old it is!)but that was more than enough time to fall in love with this place.

That was more than enough time. Once I stopped laughing about my shoes (which coincidentally looked like something from 1983)



I made my way to the trampoline arena. I stepped on the trampoline and my four year old self just took of!!! it was like I never aged.. I was STILL to chicken to do a flip but I was bouncing of the walls the whole time (literally) I played dodge ball which took me back to grade school, mainly because our teams we so uneven we had the jocks against us(who resembled the wolf pack!)and on our team there were three little boys and the three of us girls!(unlike grade school though the jocks took it easy on us and took out the little boys first!)

The time went by fast but in that hour i was able to be a kid again and really enjoy myself and not worry about bills, stress, egos I just worried about how high I wanted to jump! It's nice knowing that no matter how old you get it's the little things in life that you really appreciate.. so who is up for a game of HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS? my inner child would like to kick your inner child's butt!


If you want to know more about Airheads this is a great article that was written back when it opened in Aug 2010

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

So behold this beauty!!!!



This is from the Christian Louboutin 2011 spring collection. Now I am sure there are many people that look at this and say there is no way this is beautiful. But I answer you with an astounding YES IT IS!!! this is art at it's finest and you can't place a price on art. I look at this shoe just like I look at the painting From the lake by Gerogia O'Keefe....PRICELESS and BEAUTIFUL



Look at the color resemblance..obviously the artist known as Christian had to draw inspiration from some where.

Living in Florida we have the opprotunity to look at beautiful sunsets every night


just look at the purples and pinks and how the complement each other it just takes your breath away..that is the same way i feel when I look at these shoes by Yves Saint Laurent

This BOLD purple is sure to compliment your outfit in a breathtaking way.

My favorite flower also happens to be all over the fine state of Florida and many other tropical enviornments. When I see one I get lost in it's beauty, it comes in so many colors blue, white, pink, red but my favoroit is Orange


Just looking at this brings a smile to my face! and you know what else has the same effect???...YOU GUESSED IT!!!!



To you it may look like an ordinary shoe but to me it represents spring, sun and beauty.

Men don't feel left out there is wearable art out there for you as well. I love when I can see similarities..art imitating life. One of my favorite animals is the puffer fish they are pretty slow swimmers but instead of trying to escape, pufferfish have the ability to quickly ingest huge amounts of water to turn themselves into a virtually inedible ball several times their normal size.



Just a humble little fish that is not all powerful but uses what it has to protect itself...well fellas I can guarantee that if you are sporting these shoes NO ONE will mess with you..they will pay for themselves who needs to use their fist when you can defend yourself with amazing shoes!!!


Art imitating life..it's a wonderful thing.

Now sure by the end of the day you feel like a thousands pins are all over your feet and you loose feeling but beauty is in the eye of the beholder an believe me It's SO WORTH IT!!! nothing compares to seeing your outfit all put together perfectly and to receive that universal head nod that says..."Girl, you done right!" and that is my thought on the matter.

What is the meaning of Dapper?

The definition found in the dictionary is A.) neat and trim in appearance b.)very spruce and stylish.

Sadly I've noticed this it lacking in our day and age. I wish men would take pride in the way they present themselves in society. Back in the day it was disrespectful to even leave the house without looking like you just walked out of a magazine ad.

I'm appalled at what I see today. I was at dinner with some friends and I actually saw a man come in for an interview in SHORTS AND FLIP FLOPS!!!! He looked to be in his late 20's early 30's and came in on a skateboard! I mean really whatever happened to dressing for the job you want and not the one you have (Who knows maybe this man was actually following this motto)

While we are speaking of appearances, fellas please don't come up to any women looking like this!!!!



In your head you may think you look fly but all this outfit says is "I'm in the need for someone to baker act me because I have lost my ever lovin mind!" It kills me that men actually get offended when a women doesn't drool over his Nike airs and his pants hanging below his feet. Then they have the nerve to disrespect you and insult you. I've actually had someone do this to me (Sadly this has happened to man women and we are TIRED of it). He was yelling out to get my attention the only way he knew how " HEY GIRL, HEY I'M TALKING TO YOU! How ya doing ma?" and I politely said "I'm sorry I'm happily married and not interested but thank you." Now a good man would understand he has lost the battle and not carry on. But nooooo not flavor flav to the 10th power he tried to "Mack" finally I had to be rude " Hey I said I wasn't interested please so go on about your day and go bother someone else" and he had the nerve to tell me that I wasn't all that cute anyway...REALLY??? well the way you ran across the street makes me beg to differ. I defiantly was NOT the one chasing you down the street.

Now maybe if you would have looked like this


or this

I would have out ran anyone of the qualifying Olympic runners to get to you.

The point is that when you take care of yourself it shows and people notice. You don't have to wear a suit everywhere you go (even though it wouldn't be hard on the eyes) but you should look like you cared about how you looked. Please wear clothes that FIT!!! I don't want to to see pants so tight that I can read your DNA or a shirt so wrinkled it looks like a small intestine. make it your aim to look Dapper!!!

but fellas be careful though when you walk outside, ladies can't resist a man in a suit it's just not in our nature



and that's just my thought on the matter.

Spring, Spring. Spring

Even a city girl has to get away from the bright lights and noise to take in a peaceful serene place once and a while. What better way to welcome spring then a wonderful day at the beach. Its always fun to head to the beach the first time in the season. everyone looks like you.. in the process of working off their winter weight and looking like they are seeing sun for the first time in their lives.

You can definitely tell the tourist from Floridians. We will will get in the water but only up to our ankles..water that is 50 degrees is NOT for us however you see the tourist running in and diving right in and yelling for others to join..you guys are CRAZY!!!!!

Its weekends like this that truly make me happy, wonderful friends wonderful weather and knowing that summer is just around the corner. So enjoy your pasty body and head to a beach or park if your not in Florida and people watch ( and make fun of of them...you know you do!) and thats my thought on the matter.

I will leave you with a song from one of my favorite musicals it's fitting for the season

Is it worth the wait?

Patience: quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence.

Its amazing how this small word can carry such weight. It can make you crazy while you wait for a job, make you sweat when waiting to purpose to the love of your life, makes you have butterflies when waiting for the arrival of your first born yet this small word is something that many have a problem with understanding. Many believe that a weak person is the one who shows restraint but its the complete opposite it takes a STRONG person to show patience. you are putting faith in the idea that something great is just around the corner.

Even I have a hard time with patience but I know that if I hold out it always works out in the end. The older you get the wiser you become and you know the difference between being lazy and being patient. You also learn that you should never be presumptuous because that only leads to you looking like a fool and no one wants to look like that.

It kills me when I see people acting presumptuously and they seem to really believe in the infomercial slogan...If the don't ACT NOW the moment will pass. believe me if you are patient good things always come to those who wait. "But my situation is different" you say..NEWSFLASH: IT'S NOT!!!! you are human just like I am human and you make mistakes just like I make mistakes and sometimes acting on impulse is not the right solution.

Life is a beautiful thing its full of ups and downs and its those downs that really make us enjoy the ups :) There is no need to rush through life take it one day at a time and if you are blessed to have another day tomorrow work on patience because in the end.......



....and that is NOT just my thought on the matter.

It's Complicated

Why is it that some people create drama and complication when it comes to love. It's not a maze that has no way out. i have been happily married for the past 5 1/2 years and believe me there are always twist and turns but its a wonderful thing and I wouldn't trade my husband for anything in the world. I've noticed that many people believe that relationships are just to "complicated" Men are not complicated and neither are women you just have to know the person you are dealing with.

There have been many books written on this subject some humorous some serious but the two best pieces of advice I've ever received is: "The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them." And "Do not become unevenly yoked"

People have a tendency to ignore the red flags in relationships. believe me they are never going to change. Once people realize these simple truths mentioned above I truly believe that failed relationships will be an all time low. This city girl has also noticed a lot of games that people play with each other. What is the purpose of this games? There are never any winners just hurt feelings and hurtful words. And the sad thing is that these games are not reserved for the young, "older" ones partake in these as well. please I ask that all of you take a good hard look at yourself and quit all the games!

Maybe just maybe when we stop with all the nonsense and take care of ourselves first and stop trying to hide our true selves all the relationships in our lives will flourish that included friendships, family and significant others And that's just my thought on the matter.
