the curse of the chipotle undies

who wants to go with me to have some chipotle?!!! =D

infuriating

my life source crapped out on me today. that's right, my PHONE stopped working. the one item i make sure i NEVER leave home without, quit on me. i am saddened to inform you that it was a very dark couple of hours for me. i experienced almost every stage of grief in those few hours. i did everything i could think of to fix my phone. i rebooted it. i resent the service books. i took out the battery and let it sit for awhile. i even reset my account! nothing worked.

i was at my wits end when a thought occurred to me. i see kids everyday throw tantrums and everything always works out for them. what could it hurt? why not...

so... i casually stomped my foot. nothing. i even laughed a little at how stupid i felt. and then i thought, well maybe that wasn't hard enough. so i stomped again. this time with a little more gusto--you know, just to make sure i was doing it right. and then! as if magic! my phone started working again!

see mom. tantrums DO work!
hahaha.

and now, once again, all is right in my world. (grinning)

happy birthday jonna!

little harbor

last week i was able to attend a sales rally with my team at little harbor in ruskin, florida. it was so beautiful out there! they put us in the room looking straight out on to the beach. talk about distracting! ...but i'm not complaining. it was gorgeous. =D below are some photos i was able to take while there.

(a building at the resort.)(the lobster soup--that i ATE!)(my view from the conference room.)(some photos of the beach.)(i took dibs on my spot--and no, i did not lick the chair. hahaha)(saying goodbye.)

by the way,
i'm a freaking sales animal. =D

letting go

i love this song by fireflight:

"wrapped in your arms"

is this the whole picture
or is it just the start?
is this the way you love me?
you're capturing my heart
i used to try and walk alone
but i've begun to grow
and when you tell me just to rest
i'm finally letting go
i let go

and i'm here to stay
nothing can separate us
and i know, i'm ok
you cradle me gently
wrapped in your arms.... i'm home

i'm seeing so much clearer
looking through your eyes
i could never find a safer place
even if i tried
all the times i've needed you
you've never left my side
i'm clinging to your every word
don't ever let me go
don't let go

i tend to be a bit stubborn. [just a bit. =)] but add a pinch of independence and a splash of childish demands, you just might end up like me. someone who without conviction and accountability can stray quite easily. sadly, it sometimes takes something big to happen in order for God to get my attention. i'm not proud of that either.

well, lets just say that after some difficult situations, (that could have been avoided had i listened to Him in the first place), He finally has my attention. and this time? i'm not letting myself get distracted. =)

ps. happy 100th post to me. =)

all things wild

i LOVE urban outfitters.
i LOVE where the wild things are.
and its only fitting that uo sells all things wild!
it makes me go nuts-o!

here are a few items that are high on my wish list. (hint. hint. mom.) =D

five things: 11-15

11. i'm a freak about organizing. (please direct your eyes to my side bar where you will find a link to the container store. sexy!)

12. i love looking at "i spy" and "where's waldo" books.

13. tulips are my absolute favorite flower.

14. in high school, my best friend stacy and i would ride the ferris wheel during the 4-h fair and scope out hot boys. well... one in particular. =)

15. i am AWESOME at egyptian rat screw. i dare anyone to try and beat me.

my boy george

dudes...

all i have to say is that my cat is straight up pimp.

don't judge me.
if you had a cat that looked as good as mine,
you'd feel the same way.

i quit

my body just can't handle it anymore. it has finally quit on me. i have had to trade in my long days at the office, my trips to the beach, and even my grande burrito bowl for sniffling, sneezing, and the constant need to clear my itchy throat.

i am officially sick. =( (long exasperated sigh)
