More Chins then a Chinese phone book

Plastic surgery…..I’d do it.  Not a nose job, or implants or anything like that…but lipo?  Sure!  These days it’s becoming socially acceptable to have a nip here, a tuck there.  Don’t judge me… everybody’s doing it!   If only I had a trust fund, or a rich uncle, or the winning lotto ticket.  Some people say I’m crazy for wanting one but the other day I was discussing the hypothetical thought of how I’d like to get a chin reduction, when this ghastly creature…ok, maybe not ghastly but rather sickeningly cute and ridiculously stylish, popped up out of the nowhere with their unwanted 2 cents and said, “how many do you plan on getting ”?  All I could do was laugh….and sigh….
She was right you know….I have a rather large chin farm growing right under my very nose.  But in all actuality, I’m sick sick sick of them rearing their ugly heads.  Something must be done before I suffocate myself in my sleep by my chin rolls.  Mmm rolls…….
With that said, this is day one of a challenging 2 weeks……no sugar, no bad carbs…..basically no fun. YAY! I made it through the first day……a few more under my belt and it shouldn’t be as hard.  Goodbye donuts and fabulous martinis……hello sugar withdrawals and headaches!  I can hardly wait…….stay tuned!

The Great Unknown

While looking through peoples blogs and basically being a peeping tom into the lives of strangers, I can’t help but wonder if I’m missing out on life.  There are so many places in the World to chose to be so why am I here?  I can’t seem to think of any other reason accept comfort- or maybe the word is security? I know this place…I was born here….raised here….have family and friends here- all of which are a crutches to the so called “real life”.  It’s hard to admit that but if I’m being honest with myself, then I know it’s true and I need to figure out what I’m afraid of so I can fix it and finally get out there into the great unknown.  People are doing it every day so why aren’t I?

My Wish List...

Ok, so I need to keep a list of ideas of things that I want handy b/c in my A.D.D. state of mind I always seem to forget and end up getting something else that I'm not as happy with.  So here it goes:

For the bar area...
 


All ready have this, but in a smaller size...time to upgrade! =)
 

Have this one too


Bedroom

I'm thinking either I go a solid black and white with accent colors and patters like a zebra rug and colored throw pillows.  Or I can do a print zebra like this one:


Maybe...What do you think?

OR


With...

Ok so maybe I'm a little zebra happy. Sue me =) 





 
Have this on canvas...love it

I know I’m in desperate need of some color but I still haven’t found the perfect pieces yet.  Maybe a red chair for the corner of the room....a few red sequins throw pillows on the bed…some nice wall art.  So many ideas, so little money.  (sigh)  Feel free to donate to the cause.  I accept all major credit cards cash and personal checks.  Thanks

******UPDATE******
Totally changed my mind on the zebra print….I’m thinkg more naturals.  Like leopard!!!  Hehe J

Self Reflection....Seeing things more clearly

I've felt a very strong conviction lately that there are things in my life and my attitude that I could work on. Life isn't fair. But no one gets to choose the things that come their way. The only things we have control of are our reactions to each moment we go through. I would not allow my child (if I had one)  to throw a fit when they dont get thier way or when they are incredibly disappointed so how can I allow myself to do the same? It's very hard to be gracious and softspoken when you're exhausted and frustrated.  But at the end of the day, everything will happen in its own time and things could be so much worse. Now I just have to figure out how to stop stressing over things I have no control over and remind myself...I am blessed.
