This City girl just had to "Roll with it"

Last night I had my very first country concert experience. I have to say that I had a BLAST!! I am learning to love country music and it makes it easy to listen to when the artist looks like this.





I'm such a sucker for musicians!

My good friend actually won meet and greet passes and I was making fun of her and how she would embarrass me..don't get me wrong she was giddy to meet him but for some reason only MY emotions were caught on camera



Yes that is me the biggest city girl I know looking like a two year old who has just been told that she could have milk and cookies before bed..how embarrassing. It must have been his country accent or maybe the jeans.

The only complaint that I had was that we had a very good spot we were able to be up close and personal with Easton and his band. However there was a guy who decided that the three girls and himself would try to barge up to the front in stand in out way. I WAS NOT HAVING THAT. seeing that I was the TALLEST female in the entire place I just stood my ground and advised to them to step off. I also had a few country boys back me up so that helped :)

I have to say over all my first country concert was a success and I can't wait to go to many more. but never fear this city girl won't turn country on ya'll

So when are you going to die?.......

That is a question that all human beings know you should NEVER ask someone. It is not in good taste at all and you could really hurt or offend the person that you ask that question or even worse you could get... THE STANK FACE!!!!



So could someone please tell me why society seems to think it's appropriate to ask certain questions that is really no ones business but your own? when you are single you are get ask...SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DATE? and heaven forbid that you are actually HAPPY in your single status, people seem to think that you are just "playing strong" in front of them that is why when you say." I am not seeing anyone right now I am actually enjoying my singleness" you get this face



It's as if they have to look at you from another angle because they feel that no one in their right mind would want to be single. Well guess what there are plenty of people out there that are very happy and content with being single and not looking at singledom as a waiting bench to coupleville.

So what if you decide that you are finally ready to be apart of the dating crowd are you able to enjoy the getting to know each other phase..NOPE you get asked the second dumbest question in the world...SO WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?



WHAT DO YOU MEAN MARRIED??!! I thought the whole purpose of dating was to figure out if you are compatible? and what is the rush can I just take a moment and figure out if I want to look at this person every morning when I wake up for the rest of my life? and why must I decide that i want to marry them after spending a week with them?

I have noticed that usually the people that ask this question are the ones that are not truly happy with themselves or their situation in life.It's true what they say misery LOVES company and they want you to join the club because they jumped the gun and married the first person that showed them attention and they fell into the trap of being pressured into marrying someone because they got tired of hearing people ask them...so when are you going to get married.

Now you are finally married and you have managed to be happy because maybe you have waited for the right person and people just won't give you a break....SO WHEN ARE YOU HAVING KIDS?



have you ever thought that maybe kids don't like me and therefore I have decided to save them and just enjoy this time that I have with my spouse and really take the time to get to know them and figure out what our strengths are and then maybe we will have them when WE are ready. At this stage in your life you have to watch out for the people that remind you how long you have been together (like you are wasting THEIR time)..well you know you've been married for six years...... Why thank you for pointing out to me how long I have been married, I am sorry that I have "wasted" some years off your life because I could only assume that with the enthusiasm and interest you have about my spouse and I having children you must have a bet going...I will only procreate if that bet is worth it and we can split it 80/20 (seeing that I will be doing all the work)

I think this is the worst question of them all. If I don't personally invite you in my bedroom to see what is going on then you have NO business knowing when and if I decide to have kids. It's also rude because you don't know the circumstances of the couple. maybe they have been trying to have children and it breaks the wife's heart every time she has to see a baby because she has been told that she will not have a child in her lifetime.


I think that when we see someone happy in life weather they are single, dating, married with children, married without children, single with children etc we should leave the questions to things not so personal because lets face it...IF you are close to the person there will be no need for you to ask these questions in the first place!

You wold never ask someone when they are going to die as you are attending a funeral so why ask these offensive questions? and that's my thought on the matter.

If You Can't Say Anything Nice.....

...Don't say anything at all. I can remember hearing this all the time from my mother when I was younger and then I saw Bambi I was astonished. My mothers wise words were coming from someone younger than me..How was that possible?



It was then that I realized that good advice can come from anyone at any age and that I need to be humble enough to accept it. This saying is so true especially when someone has wronged you in someway shape or form. It's so easy to lash out at the person that you are upset with and maybe even give them "what is coming to them" but it takes a bigger person to NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL...vengeance is not necessary, when we hold our tongues our opposer will lose their temper as we keep ours.

In our day and age its so easy now to "tell someone off" and now you can do it in 140 characters or less. But with this technology comes cowards. your "friends" don't need to know what "Sally" did behind you back and what you would "do" to her when you have the chance. I miss the days when you would call someone up and ask them out to lunch to speak about your differences and if they wouldn't let you get a word in then you would leave the cash on the table and say GOOD DAY and walk out! But not now even if you try to take the highroad and invite someone to talk about your issues they can't wait till you leave to update their facebook status



St.Pete City Girl is fuming you will never believe what happened..I can't believe she had the nerve to even talk to me!!!!

Then two seconds later cowards of the world unite and show there power and agreement. how you might ask?



technology is good but I think that people need to grown up and handle things the way that the world use to handle disagreements. 1) No one needs to know your business except for the people involved 2) Try to discuss it like adults 3)Always keep your cool and 4) In the immortal words of No Doubt "Don't Speak" if you aren't getting through to them. Because at the end of the day no one looks cute like this



And that's just my thought on the matter

Nice to MET you

This week the annual Met Gala took place in NY. This year it was SUPPOSED to be all about Alexander McQueen. Even if you are not a lover of fashion you know about this late designer and his designs. Alexander always designed out of the box and his aesthetic is one of a kind.

I have to admit I was a little sad that not many attendees came in the feature designer duds. After all if you are going to pay homage to someone please wear his clothes and make them look flawless.
I did see a few daring outfits and here are a few of my favorites.




Daphne guinness in Alexander McQueen



Anna Dello Russo in Alexander McQueen




Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen



Selma Hayek in Alexander McQueen



SJP in Alexander McQueen

All five of these ladies were dressed amazing! Sadly I can't say the same about the following ladies. And I love all three of them.coming right of the royal wedding weekend many women wished they could have a fairytale wedding..sadly I think Serena Williams took it literally. This dress and the fascinator would look amazing in a bridal magazine but not on the red carpet.




I also love my ladies with curves and I'm sad about these next two ladies Beyonce wore a dress that shows off her body but it only works if she stands perfectly still I wonder how she was able to even use the bathroom??? Ladies if you want a dress to show of your curves please make sure you can at least walk gracefully because there is nothing cute about "dress to tight shuffle"




Christina Hendricks drives men Mad :) but not in this brown/copper getup that manages to hide her curves and washes out her beautiful hair and porcelain skin



Overall the fashion as always was amazing and makes me more determined than ever to grace these red stairs one day. And that's my thought on the matter.

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.
