Boogers make bad bookmarks...

Some things I have learned since being away...

There is truly beauty in ALL things.

Laughter REALLY IS the best medicine.

Tomato plants and pumpkin vines can still cause a poison ivy like rash on your forearms, even if trimming and pruning them was a volunteer gesture for an Elementary school garden.

Sundays honestly do last longer if you spend them lounging on the couch.

Sometimes vacations are equally enjoyable whether you are floating in a friends pool and reading a book while she sleeps in, or travelling to an exotic locale.

Blueberry coffeecake is the sh*t.

Ella, Judy, Billie and Patsy have not lost their allure over time.

Everyone looks silly in a red clown nose and a moustache on a stick.

An overabundance of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga songs are having ill effects on me.

Steering clear of work drama is the best path NO MATTER WHAT.

People do not always do what they say they will do...even if you give them time to do it.

Parades are awesome.

It is okay to miss something or someone that is absent.

People like to be invited, even if you know they have no intention of attending.

Going somewhere that has a history feels like visiting an old friend.

Nom Nom Nom

Shark week has been sooooooo sick!

 Long live the Almighty Landlord!

Start Spreadin' The News....

Good for you, New York!

It is nice to see some forward thinking!

All over your great state closet doors are flying open!

All across the country people are cheering for progress!

Death up by one in the game of life

AmyWinehouse is dead at the young age of 27.

Many commented that she joins the ranks of greats who have gone on before her, such as Hendrix, Joplin and Cobain.

It is a shame when a person imagines they are void of self worth and turn to a life ruled by drugs and alcohol.

Her heart and talent were true...it was her will that was not her own. Her body was no longer a temple and it betrayed her in the end.

A sad, sad shame. Rest in peace, at last.

that's the way the cake crumbles...all over the floor

Humph!

Sometimes, days and things do not go as planned.

It is not unusual for things, when seemingly smooth, to turn ugly!

In life, it goes like this and you need not be afraid!

A broom and dustpan are your troops and will forevermore be at your disposal!

Let them eat cake and spill it and smash it!

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

I was reminded this afternoon of how quickly something to be treasured can disappear.

It does not matter if the object  taking flight is tangible or perceived; the hurt and loss are the same.

Hold fast to the things which you esteem and be rid of the things that weigh you down.

You would be amazed at the transformation awaiting you!

Appreciate each moment of the day and fill your night with possible dreams!

you drive me wild

Sending a universal thank you out to Joan Jett for never disappointing!

She rocks non-stop! I love the way she connects with her fans and her band mate chemistry!

Whenever I leave one of her shows, my throat is raw from screaming and singing, my face hurts from smiling, my back is soaked in sweat and I struggle to restrain  myself from having musical Tourette's as I belt out her tunes!

So thank you JJ for making a rocker out of this girl!!!! Thank you for appearing to the masses again and again so we can get our fill of your remarkable, sustainable talent! Thank you for paving the way for chicks that rock!

I do not know what the world would have done without your influence!
