The Breakup

You've seen the movie, right? It's awful! Well Saturday night (at home), my padres ditched my hermanito and I and I needed entertainment. Unfortunately, I thought The Breakup would provide some entertainment.  Instead, for 2 hours of my life, I watched a couple argue, scream, fight, bicker and act like ridiculously misbehaved children. 

My dad caught the tail end of it, and kept commenting on how strange the movie was, "Yes dad, the movie sucks".  He kept saying that it told an important lesson, COMMUNICATE. 

So, as a free gift to those of you who read, if you have a sweetheart on this silly make-believe holiday; make sure you are communicating well.  If not, if you don't enjoy the person, if it's not fun, if you're not headed the same place in life... GET THE F**K OUT. 

Sweets

See these sweets?  If you find a way to make any of them gluten, corn and dairy free; please give them to me.  I'm dying for something sweet, unhealthy and delicious. 

Wanna know what sucks about food allergies?  All my food is "healthy".  GIVE ME UNHEALTHY! (please)

They look scrumptious....

Poem

"Where the Mind is Without Fear"

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection:
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

~Rabindranath Tagore 


A poem my teacher sent me.  Where is your mind today?  Where was it yesterday?  Where should it reside?   

Favorite Picture Ever. 

Healing

God heals.  In his timing. 

Old Memories

I have the memory of a goldfish in some ways, but of course the memories I HATE prefer to stick around. 

Last last mother's day (2009), my sister and I bought my mom this awesome massive frame with several slots for pictures.  The problem arises when you find out that we never filled the frame with pictures...worst children everrr. 

That brings me to the old memories..  I use shutterfly.com to print pictures (I highly recommend them).  I haven't been on my account though for like..mmm...2+ years.  Because of that there are lots of pictures of people that I don't like, don't see and don't care to see in my shutterfly photo albums.  Regardless, it's not a big deal because I just deleted those old albums, but sometimes I just really wish the bad memories would go away....

Lost Things

Today has been awful.  Well not all of it, actually, but parts of it.  I have whined about it, LOTS.. just ask my friend Lisa :)

I was at the hospital today to doula (yayy!) and I lost my parking ticket.  I was super flustered because security was being mean to me (and they were extra thick in baby areas of course).  The nurse couldn't tell me what the name of the patient was over the phone, so the security men weren't happy enough with the information I could tell them.  Anyways, the guy gave me a replacement so it wasn't a big deal.

I went to the bank today to deposit a $20 bill I had in my wallet...only to realize at the bank that I didn't have that 20 bucks anymore.  I know for SURE that I didn't spend it...so I have no idea where it is.  NO idea.

I lost my phone today, as well.  I had to leave for D-group in a hurry today, and somewhere in the quickness, I lost my phone.  I searched for it outside, inside, at Kara's house, in my car and in my house.  I have no clue how it ended up on my chair in my house...but of course, it did. 

Ever have one of those days where so few things go right?

Blizzard Warning

EWWWWW

I can honestly say that this is the first time that I have seen weather.com describe tonight's weather in one word: Blizzard.  While I am NOT excited for the 10-16 inches of snow, I am excited that for 24 hours my world will stop...




No doctor appt
No work
No classes
No meetings

Just me, in my warm cozy house enjoying the luxuries of journaling, reading, watching TV, working out, and resting.  I am genuinely ecstatic about these happenings.
