These are all the tears you’ve ever shed. The ones that taught you who you are. That made you grow up. That let you know that what you felt, mattered. And they are all here for a reason.

I love this blog!

Just in case you were wondering...

"Don't eat me!"

Raccoon is 2 pts. for 1 oz. cooked, according to Weight Watchers. Sick.

Oh and rabbit is only 1 pt. for 1 oz. cooked. Rabbit looks like the way to go...vomit.

Here are some racoon recipes! Apparently, people are hungry for raccoon.

Friday, finally!

I have gotten a total of 18 hours of sleep in the past 4 days! That is an average of 4.5 hours of sleep a night. Not only have I been dragging, but so has the week. BUT, Friday IS finally here AND its a 3-day weekend AND I get to spend time with the boy. Life is good.

Happy 3-day weekend...oh and Happy Memorial Day Weekend, too :)

Awkward Tuesday

I've overheard and seen some awkward things today, so I felt the need to post about them.

1. Awkward Family Photos

My new favorite website! Here's a little gem of a photo I'd like to share from this site:


2. Awkward Conversations at Work

My co-worker kept saying "Anal" loudly in the hallway while talking about Farrah Fawcett's cancer. The conversation started off on tanning and quickly escalated to rectums.

3. Awkward Overheard Conversations at Work

Same co-worker was talking about "tweaking" a few things on her project. A different, somewhat creepy co-worker responded "I'll show you some tweaks" in an equally creepy voice. Comment is open for interpretation...it stopped me in my tracks on the way to the copier.

So failing is a good thing? Sweet.

My Boyfriend thinks...

I'm a "sap" for that last quote. I just can't resist anything gooey about love! I'm a hopeless romantic, it's true! I love you, Blakey-Poo, Poo, Dee, Doo!

Rain's Bad Rap

I'm not obsessing over the negative view on Rain, really, I'm not. I just really like these illustrations by Anna Melcon Bond.

“Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.”
~ Og Mandino

I love the Rain

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

I was looking for a song to post about rain because I LOVE the rain, and today is suppose to be a very rainy day in the midwest. But I noticed that all the songs about rain are depressing! I find it odd because rain refreshes, renews, makes things grow, creates rainbows, etc. So rather than let this become a depressing post, I thought I'd keep it light and breezy with some happy quotes about rain :) These make me ache for summer!

"I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again!" ~ From Singing in the Rain sung by Gene Kelly

"May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."
~ Irish Blessing

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow." ~ G.K. Chesterton

"Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain." ~ Billie Holiday

Break me off a piece of Edward Cullen

Seriously! Is there anything Edward Cullen can't do!? I just finished New Moon and if I thought I was obsessed before, I was wrong. This books is my "personal brand of heroine," if I might quote Edward, himself. New Moon will be in theatres on 11.20.09 and I will be there too, dazzled and breathless :)
