Things That I Love.

There are many, many things that I love!!  Not in any special order.

1.  Polaroid Magnets.  LOVE.

2.  Blunt Cards.  They are so funny!!!

3.  Zynga Poker on my phone.  It's so fun.  I'm actually not doing too bad.  I wish I had mad money because then I would go to the casino...and um, probably lose.  hahaha.

Home Made Cooking.

I just love going over to my mom and dad's house for dinner.  My mom has always cooked dinner.  Every night, except Saturday and Sunday.  We would usually order pizza or go out.  I grew up on like steak, chicken, roasts, turkey...then veggies, and potatoes.  mmmmmm.  So good.  It's nice to spend time together, too.  Allan, my husband went, as well.  :)  Oh, and our puppy, Mardog....Marley.  :)  Here are some yummy foods I found that, I think, look delicious.

Yum Yum Yum.

Wait Til the Midnight Hour...

Here I am, again, wide awake at 4:20a - ha - in the morning!  What's up with this?  I probably know why this keeps happening.  Caffeine.  Culprit. I just love Coke~Cola!  Soooooooooooooooo good.  It's my enemy.  My beloved enemy that I just want to suck up with a straw!  Yum.  Anyways, moving forward....I wanted to put up some things that are motivating me, right now.  :)

\

So, these are just some fun things I'm digging right now.  Those cupcakes look fabulous.  I have been in such a mood to go camping.  How fun!  I wondering if I could talk Allan into doing that.  We've never done it....well, that's not true now that I'm thinking about it.  We've camped at Phish.  Some really great experiences.  I'm so happy I was able to go and to have my first experience be with Allan.  I love him so much.  Such a good husband.  :)  During the weeks coming up, I'm going to work on one thing.....to show a "how-to" tutorial.  I don't know what, but....:)  I've always wanted to do it.  Any suggestions?  I need to find some followers.  Anyone out there????  Echo.....

Show Me The Way...

Today has been FILLED with events.  Didn't work on everything I wanted to do, but I did get a lot accomplished.  More than the past few days.  I'm not a self-starter.  But, I'm going to push that thought out and bring some new ones in, because those thoughts aren't conducive to my lifestyle anymore.  

I went to our grocery store, Dominick's, to get some milk for our dinner tonight...pork chops and potatoes.  mmm.  So, I'm done with my shopping, I walk out to the car and there are little boys fighting in the parking lot.  Told them not to do this around here.  Then, they decided to yell back at me, asking what I was going to do about it.  They were pushing each other around, so I said..."I'll call the police,"  they were like, "Go ahead, we aren't doing anything," and I said, "Yes, you are, you pushed him."  So, they left.  hah.  I'm so powerful and mighty.  Dur.  :)  

Then, I get home.  I let Marley come with, where we so another standard poodle...soooooooooo cute.  But, we get home, I open the door and he blasts through and out to the street towards a poor guy riding his bike.  I scream that he's a nice dog...Marley just likes to run around people and bark.  He wants to play with EVERYONE!  So, he ran after this guy on the bike, then a car, another car, ran around the block, and came back.  I was going to kill him!  He's a really smart dog, so he just chooses to ignore you when you call him.  He's the most stubborn dog I've ever met.  He's wonderful!  But, a bigggggggggggggggg pain in the butt.  Hi, can I just say I look like the worst pet owner ever.  Way to gain control, Amy.  haha.

I put Halloween decorations up today.  Well, some.  :)  I love Halloween.  It's such a great holiday.  So fun.  You get to be who ever you want and you don't even have to be a kid to play dress up.  :)  Although, I don't really care if I'm a kid or not...I act like one, regardless.  I'm feeling good today.  It's probably the coffee, no, just kidding.  But, really....I see good things coming.....

Different things I'm going to put up here are:

1. Daily Things That Happen.
2. Photography.
3. Pretty Things
4. Politics.
5. Antiques, Vintage.  <3
6. Beauty Stuff.
7. Travel.
8. Interior/Exterior Design.
9. Entertainment
10. Food/Grocery Shopping.
11. Clothing.
12. Diet and Exercise.
13. How-To's....once I figure out how to do it.  ;)
14. Body Shots.  I'm LOSING weight.  I want something tangible. 

Those are just some of the things I'll be discussing.  Mostly, this blog is random.  Hope you like it.

Stripped.

Why is it so hard to trust? When I think I have opened myself up for people and relationships, I just clam up.  It's as if I'm a deer caught in the head lights.  I want to trust, but I think because I can't trust myself, I don't trust others.  I make it out to seem like a I trust, but really, I'm not doing it 100% because I'm holding back who I am a little bit.  I don't let many people too close to me.  I like to keep a mystery.  I don't do it on purpose and maybe it's right now that I'm realizing how toxic this is.  I just like to stay at arms length.  The idea of being hurt scares me to death.  I'm an emotional person.  Like, I'm cool and chill, not really into drama...more hippish...But, I'm REALLY sensitive.  Why am I putting this out here?  Because, I want to throw it out in the universe.  I want to be stripped down, layer by layer.  To know who I am.  Who am I?  Like in "Zoolander!!" ha.  Ben Stiller.  Anyways, yes, so that's what I'm writing tonight.  I don't want to be limited!!  I'm holding myself back and doing a disservice to the one person who needs it the most....ME!

Tomorrow, I'm starting with Weight Watchers and going to Life Time, at least, 3 times a week.  That's totally manageable.  Swim...Sauna....Bike....Eliptical....Classes....Weights....I can't go wrong.  I need to lose this weight!  I'm so foreign in this body.  I don't know who I've become.  I've been let out and I can't find my way back.  I know that it shouldn't be about weight, because any other person out there...I would tell them to love themselves.  Be proud of who they are.  So, um, why am I not taking my advice?  Because, it's easier to sit here and bitch?  ha.  

Minutes after that tangent...I'm going to end this now.  Thanks for reading.  Thank you again, if you subscribe.  No pressure, though... :)

The Day Before You - Rascall Flatts

I'm usually not into country, but I love the lyrics.  :)


I had all but given up

On finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was on the day before you

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you
In your eyes I see forever
And it makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you
Were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
And if you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

Bridge
The day before you
Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
I'm never going back

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

*All Pretty Things* Friday

This is the beginning of a trend that I'll have on here called All Pretty Things.

By Golly, I Think She's Got It.....

And, I really think I do have it.  I've bought a website that I will have to view what I'm selling.  That website is www.sincerelysublime.com.  I'm so happy about it.  I feel like I've already attained a goal of just purchasing it.  :) Now...on to the next goal.  Starting up the company.  AND.  Finding the great things I'll sell there.  While both sound fun, the latter is more exciting.  I'd love to shop for things to sell. I'm very happy and forever excited!!!!!!!

Sincerely, Amy

Me.Myself.and I.
