Some Days You Gotta Dance

Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little to tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

-Dixie Chicks

It’s true. 

I almost never go out.  I just don't allow myself to.  Its one of those pride things. It’s one of those, “I’m a bad mom if I admit I need a little break” things.  Well, let me tell you…some days you have GOT to give in.  Allow yourself sanity for goodness sake.  I dragged the hubby out to a local wine bar to hear an old acquaintance perform.  My mom (yes, my mom) and her Jack met us there.  We really had a lot of fun.  Hubby and Jack ate like men, and Mom and I laughed like idiots, and teased my mom about Siobhan Magnus’s famous hand wave all night (she does it, whether she knows it or not).  I just get crazy you know? I mean like cabin fever crazy.  And also like overwhelmingly zonked out crazy like I’m not sure if I can handle one more whine, cry, scream, or tantrum over a toy, a treat, or a mean word that someone said. 

That is all.  I just wanted to share that little thought.  You’re not a bad person if you need a few hours to get away.  Sometimes Calgon doesnt always help ;).

Lazy and Not So Cheerful

Oh my gosh! I was so so so lazy today.  No kidding,  I reread sookie stackhouse book 3 in my jammies all day.  Today was just one of those days where I could have sat on the beach with a good book and slept and dreamt and just wandered all day long.  But of course, like most people I have responsibilities and I did the best with where I was today.  Here. In the real world.  haha. 

Do you ever just have such an abundance of hopes and dreams and ideas in your head that its almost overwhelming and disconcerting and frustrating all at the same time?  It’s like I have all of these things I want to do in this life and I feel like I am at a stand still.  I know that I am working everyday towards my goals, but instant gratification is nice sometimes.  Not that I want instant gratification (because trust me:I’ve learned my lesson when it comes to that snob), it just becomes frustrating when you know something you want so bad is going to take so much hard work and so long to gain.  Of course it always feels so much better when you've worked your booty off for it, but I’m just venting here, okay? 

I just feel Blah.  All day today.  I woke up that way, and here it is 10pm and I still feel blah.  blah blah blah. Sorry, I’m totally a Debbie Downer right now.  I promise tomorrow I will choose to be happy.  But right now, I kind of want to stay in a blah state.  Don’t ask me why, but sometimes it just feels good not to worry about pleasing.

Thanks for reading.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things:

I <3 Hello Kitty.  I really do. I’m not a fanatic, no that’s not sophisticated ;)  But I will live vicariously through my little one.

I love the sound of music.  No, not the movie.  The actual sound of guitars, violins, banjos, pianos, voices, wind instruments. I love them all. 

Reading.  I LOVE the Southern Vampire Series, AKA Sookie Stackhouse Novels. I just do.

I like to sew. I like to write.  I love to sing.  I love to bake-mostly cupcakes.

Photography.  Zucchini. Peaches in July.  The Country.  The Beach.  Coffee Bean Soy Iced Tea Lattes and mini lemon cakes.

Quilts.  I love quilts.  They remind me of my Granny, and they are just beautiful. 

Purples and Greens of most shades.

Of course the list goes on and on and on.  Until next time…

First Post

Hello Blog world!  No, I couldn’t come up with a better title than that. I haven’t ever written a blog that wasn't craft, family, or baking based…so my mind is in a whirlwind of thoughts and ideas.  I figured this would be a sort of blog-all.  My life, my feelings, my crazy ideas, and dreams.  Things I love and despise will be blogged here.  My outlet to share with the world.  It is my oyster.

You might love me, you might hate me. Either way, welcome to my blog!
