morning thoughts

Sometimes...err.. many times in life, things don't work out the way you plan. that's LIFE. but which is harder.? accepting that and moving forward or trying to work harder/fix/change the situation to make them how you'd like.?!!
wait. i just read what i wrote and i found the problem. PLAN. the word 'plan.' a little planning is normal and necessary, but we gotta live now, not in the future. if i go back and think of the 'plan' i had for myself when i was 16, shit even when i was 20, i literally laugh out loud. and when i'm 30 i will laugh back at this bump in the road. but eek, let's not think about 30. haha




i love these dudes and their morning messages.
i obviously do a lot of thinking over my cafe con leche.

old school M.C.


Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

i've been listening to this cd lately. it was a good one. a really good one.

listen


Can see that you're lookin at me
Cuz you want something tonight
Maybe your eyes are a little bigger than your appetite
But the way I move wishin it was you dancing behi-i-i-iind
I'm a big tease
I'll bring you to your knees
Be the best you've ever had
Just call me superbad
I'm such a big tease
I'll bring you to your knees
Be your best headlining act
aka SuperBad



She's been doing A LOT of promoting all over the place for her album and this is her first single. It's catchy and one of those 'ride out to' songs on the way to the club with your girls. What do you think about her first solo single.?!??

Feel your touch and it's the sweetest
Your kisses are my weakness
I never want them to go away

I wanna feel you in my heart
As I look into your eyes
No need to get busy so let's take our time
And make slow love, slow love
And every minute that we have
It goes too fast
Wanna show you how to rock it so this feeling lasts
And make slow love, slow love
Slow love, slow love, slow love all night



ohemgee

From her InStyle photoshoot





love.
love.
love.

A B C's

tomorrow is the first day of school for the kiddies around here. so while teachers were putting last minute touches on their classrooms and printing out their class list, i was packing all of my classroom supplies in a big plastic storage box. i figure if i'm not going to be needing it, there's no need for it to be a constant reminder that i'm not teaching this year in my bedroom for me to look at everyday. plus, it was taking up a lot of space. it was a very sad morning packing it all up. theeeen, it was 12:00 in the afternoon. the morning was over. and there was/is no need for me to dwell. maybe it's a sign from God... maybe He has something else planned for me right now. so i'm looking forward with a big smile on my face.


watch out


paired up with some cute bracelets. i've been doing it with my little watches

but i think it would look better with big face watches.


tutus make a party

Over the weekend, i spent the day with my BFF helping her plan her daughter's first bday.  she's throwing a minnie/mickey mouse theme and her daughter gets to wear a tutu AND minnie mouse ears.!!!  she ordered the cutest red tutu and minnie ears made of tulle off the internet and bought a plain white tshirt from target.  we went over to joann fabric and bought red sequins and had our own little DIY project to complete lil JJ's birthday outfit.  Tia Vero hot glue gunned the sequins to make a 1 on the shirt. now all she needs are the glittery yellow shoes.  here's a sneak peak:

You’re just like poison
Slowly moving through my system
Breaking all of my defenses but time
You’re just like poison and I just don’t get it
How can something so deadly feel so right?
I’m not sure of what to do it’s a catch with it to
cause the cure is found in you I don’t want it but I do
You’re just like poison
My affliction, I’m addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die

random rambling

i'm hiding indoors all day.
i went to the beach/pool yesterday with my friend who is a tan-oholic. 
4 1/2 hours & spf4 = red face and hot skin. ouch.
so i'm trying to keep myself busy with things at home.

i gave myself a manicure today.  i'm giving the bright colors a rest and went back to the ESSIE 'overnight'.  ((on the photo booth pic)) it wont last long tho.  i want a bright bubblegum pink soon.

i'm on a new book:
The Wishing Year
Noelle Oxenhandler
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
All i've read so far is the introduction.  I read somewhere that it's similar to Eat, Pray, Love and i liked that one so we shall see.

this is my nightstand:
Photobucket
i've already read Buddha by Deepak Chopra and Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult. both very good reads. and The Power of Now is there because i STILL haven't finished reading it.  i try to read a little every night.  it's not a quick read because you have to think about what you're reading and take it in.  sometimes i'll read the same paragraph or page a few times. 

since i'm finally almost done with these books and will be heading back to the library soon, anyone have any suggestions for the next few i pick up.?
