Where I Want to Be

Or

Both from here

Somewhere with snow. Somewhere with loads of books and time to read them and drink coffee then go play in the snow then come inside to sit by a fire to warm back up with another book.

Things to do at night

I'm so excited, first off today is blustery and there are tornado warnings abound and it's amazing! So excited. Wish it would keep pouring.

I don't mind the weather, I've got scarves and caps and sweaters

it was so appropriate for that song to come on at work today. :)

I'm also excited because I signed myself up for TWO swaps. One is a valentine's swap!

(I would love for you to be able to click the photo for the link, but let's be real I'm still real new to this, so click the link above.)

THEN I signed up for a book swap.

<3
I get to send someone my favoritest book with a little message in it! SO AWESOME.
I've been feeling a little lost lately I think. Maybe just confused. Or not creative. I haven't really put my mind to serious work and that I think is a problem.
So this will be good, I will be creating and via snail mail I will be meeting new people and receiving pretty things! It will take the sting out of another Valentine's day without a lover. Although you never know what could happen between now and then. maybe I'll meet someone. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea. But if I don't there is always next year.

Anyway, before I get caught up in the "lonely" thought I'm going to stop myself and just be excited for everything that is good. The swaps, my new lovely camera, the weather...

I might be a tad over emotional today because my head hurts and it's rainy but when I saw the cover of this magazine I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry for girls that think they aren't good enough. She was beautiful and amazing before she got any surgery. She looked like a plastic doll the first round and now I just don't even know what she looks like.
I get it, she was made fun of as a kid and on tv, but why don't you work on your mind and not your body. See a counselor. Know that your husband (whom I absolutely detest but that's a different story) chose to be with you before you changed.
People are making fun of her now. How is this different? We all need to work on our lasting childhood insecurities.

This just makes me so sad. She's completely unrecognizable. Love what you've got.

I got it! I wanted it and I finally got it! Yay for my pretty (and huge) camera.
That is all for now.

Oh please

From an article concerning the Pope's opinion and distaste for Avatar.

The pope explained in the message that while many experience tranquillity and peace when coming into contact with nature, a correct relationship between man and the environment should not lead to "absolutizing nature" or "considering it more important than the human person."

Wait, what about that part where it is... where nature is more important than the human person because without it we can't survive. I'm almost positive this world would be doing a whole lot better surviving without us. The earth doesn't need us, we need the earth. That makes it far more important than we are, especially each individual human.

Please Pope... give me a break. You aren't as important as you seem to think.

Champagne Tuesday?

<3

Sometimes I wish I could say I just have no interest at all in alcohol. I mean, for the most part it is true. I don't drink very often, but every once in a while I just can't help but want a champagne night.

Oh Zooey. I know you understand

The List

<3

Starting to make my 25 to do before 25 list... I missed out on the idea for 24. Should I make a list of 24 semi easy things to do before my birthday? It's really soon, like a month and a half away. I'll give it some thought through the day, see if I just want to make a 25 before 25 to start on the glorious day of my birth.

The picture has something to do with my 25 before 25, if I find myself in more money or able to save it might have two things to do with my 25 before 25. I'm not being clear. I'm sorry, the idea isn't fully clear in my head.

I'm just excited. I take my birthday more serious than Jan.1st.
