From Jamie:

You and I wake up in a police car together. Using four words only, what would you say to me?

*BLINK*

 

I saw this on a friend's Facebook page and it PISSED.ME.OFF.

What say you?

HBO Brings Me JOY!!!!!!!!!

Huh?

Seriously...would you pay hundreds of extra dollars to get a washer and dryer that is a color other than white? Like...that's the ONLY difference.

Scenario...

Your washer just ripped one of your favorite articles of clothing.

You want to pick the washer up and push it to the nearest window and throw it out of your flipping home.

However...you can't do that.  (Mainly because you don't know how to turn the water off and the thought of the damage the water would cost is calming to your irrational irate senses.)

What do you do?

If you choose to buy a new washer and dryer...would you buy what you WANT or would you buy what you'd feel comfortable leaving in your current home knowing you are in the beginning stages of house shopping?

Scenario...

You're at a restaurant waiting to be seated.

A group with the same number of people you have in YOUR group comes in 15 minutes after you.

You notice that the person who speaks to the hostess seems to be extremely familiar with them.

Their party is seated before yourN.

What would YOU do?

"Who says you're not perfect?!!!!"

I was watching Selena Gomez this morning and heard the song above.

You know how sometimes music triggers a memory in you ? Well...this song triggered a memory for me and it made me laugh.

I remember getting something wrong and I was trying to make myself feel better about it because I've always been extremely hard on myself.  My father came home and questioned why I got the something wrong in that directly confrontational way he had.

Me:  Well...I mean...I'm not perfect.

Dad:  (straight up YELLING!)  WHO SAYS YOU'RE NOT PERFECT!  YOU'RE PERFECT DAMMIT!  DON'T LET ME HEAR YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT PERFECT AGAIN!  YOU'RE PERFECTLY YOU!  NOW GO GET ME SOME DAMN WATER!

I went to get him some water.

My mother was in the kitchen and heard him yelling.

Mom:  Why is your father yelling?

Me:  Cuz apparently I'm perfect.

Mom:  *BLINK*

I love my life.

Do songs trigger memories in you as well?  Mostly sad, happy or funny as hell?

 

"...the best at exemplifying the worst."

No.

When was the last time you said no to something your child wanted? Why?

Better Oats: RAW Pure & Simple Bare

For breakfast I'm pretty simple.  Gimme some protein, whole grains and fruit...and I'm pretty good.  Sometimes I have time to cook steel cook oats...a lot of time I don't. 

I found these recently and they make me smile.  One of the things I REALLY loved about them is that you can use the packet your serving comes in to measure the amount of water or milk you want in them.  SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This would make it really simple to take this to work with you if you'd like to eat something quickly on the fly.  Doesn't that make PURE.D.SENSE?

I nuke mine for a minute and then throw a handful of blueberries in for the last minute of cooking.  Be careful if you do this cuz it makes the blueberries hot but when they burst open and melt into your oatmeal...whew boy!  DEEEELICOUS!

So Kevin Hart is a MAJ.FAV of mine.  LOVE.THAT.DUDE.SOOOOOOOO MUCH!  He makes me laugh like ca-ra-zy!

Russian woman, Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, dies at her own funeral after being mistaken for dead

Starvation Mode?

Recently a friend told me they only eat twice a day.

They are puzzled as to why they doesn't lose weight.

It's because the body is smart and knows what it needs to have in order to have enough energy so you can move.  When it realizes that it doesn't get refueled up adequately...it starts storing all of the fat to use and STOPS burning it.

It doesn't make sense to starve yourself.  Eat small meals throughout the day that are beneficial to your body.  Lots of fresh veggies and fruits and when you have meat...make sure it's unprocessed and lean. 

Pay attention and...BE.MORE.VAIN!

I'm no where near a nutritionist mind you but this is how I understand it to be.

Bookin' It!

Whatchu reading?

Adele "He Won't Go"

 

I triple dog dare you that this groove makes you FEEL IT! I'm talking eyes closed, shoulders dipping, fingers snapping!

TRIATHLETES!

As you guys probably know, TravelDiva has suckered 1969 into doing a triathlon with her tomorrow.  1969 has been training her butt off and is ready, ready, READY! 

Today I was on the phone while checking Facebook and I see all of these uber positive messages on 1969's wall with encouraging words. 

SIP:  Well...I gotta break this ish up right quick.

So...SIP wrote on 1969's wall:  Please don't drown.

1969's response?  Dude...that's my main goal!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love FABULOUS people doing FABULOUS things!

GET.IT.YALL!

GOOD LUCK AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PICS!

Scenario...

You are out of town.

Before you left...your best friend had to put their car in the shop.

You let them use your car while you're gone.

They pick you up from the airport at night.

The next morning you get in your car and there is a big red stain all over your passenger seat.

You call your best friend and ask what the hell.

They give you this elaborate tale of a tragedy which included paintballs bursting and they scrubbed it from top to bottom and got everything out they could.

You good?  If not...what are your expectations?

Break Yourself Off Fool!

It's been a long time since I've asked so yeah...what did you eat for breakfast this morning?  I know yall already know how you SHOULD fuel up your body in the morning...but are you following through what what you know to be true?

SPILL IT! 

You ain't gotsta lie Craig!

SUMMERTIME!!!!!!!!!!!

What are your kids doing this summer?

Discovery Channel

Have you discovered anything new you think we might like too?

C'mon!  SHARE!

Question...

If someone hit you at work...would you call the police?

Hustling

I'm always working but it's not like work ya know?  Sure...I've worked before and there is nothing wrong with doing something to make sure you contribute money to your household and pay your bills of course...but the kinda work I'm talking about is the work that flows naturally from me.  I breathe it.  I live it.  I dream it.  I walk it.  I talk it. I work.  I work.  I work.

From the beginning to the end I'll work and the sense of satisfaction from something being born on paper and taken to the screen is one such there is a sense of satisfaction from the product...from the end result that all other frustrations seem to melt away as your recognize that the product...the film...is alive and fucking WONDERFUL.

It took me a long time to let my doubts go and free myself up enough to be able to live in this space I'm in.

It takes a lot of work.

But I'll be damned if it's not all worth it.

"The Coaltion" is soooooooooooooooooo hot.

I can't WAIT until yall get to see it.

Me so happy.

Classic Kinda Girl

Which iPod are you?

Classic:

"The Memory"

She packed. 

Quickly.

So quick she dropped half of what she wanted to take. 

Quickly but quietly.

So she could still hear.

She stepped over the memory.

Immune to the pain at this point just as he is immune to pain.

Of any kind.

As she packed light fell around her in the form of pictures. 

Pictures of them perfect.

Pictures of their family.

Pictures of their friends.

A life built and now ripped.

She stepped over the memory.

She'd call her sister from the car.

She'd tell her to pick up the kids for her.

She stepped over the memory.

She packed.

And planned.

Bank.

She had to go to the bank.

She was finally tired.

Finally fed up enough to do something.

Something that would liberate her.

Even as her current fear made everything a cloud around her.

As she packed hurridly.

As she dropped important papers in her haste to leave.

Before she was discovered.

Before she couldn't get away.

She stepped over the memory.

Her mother's Bible...she couldn't leave that.

She went back to get it and dropped it.

In his blood. 

She picked it up.

Wiped the leather off and stepped over him for the 5th time.

Closed the door and hurried off.

Leaving the memory behind.

 

 

Dear Patagonia:

 

This isn't cool.  Can I browse in peace without being creeped out?  When or if I want to talk to someone I know how to contact yall.

 

 

New Shoes

How long ago was it that you bought your last new pair of shoes?

NOTICE!

I promise I'm going to read all of your emails I received while I was gone. 

Some of them are really long.

One of them includes a word document that seems to be about 3 pages long.

That had better be good or Imma fight somebody.

Scenario...

You've been dating a man for a year long distance.

Yall decide someone needs to move in order to see where the relationship is heading.

Your career is much more fluid than his so yall decide you should move.

It's the week before you are putting your things on a truck to drive to your new home and you're visiting relatives and saying your goodbyes.

When you get to your Grandmother's house your favorite Aunt is there.

She is less than enthusiastic about your move.

You're surprised because she's the "cool" Aunt.

She tells you that she has no respect for a man who would let his woman pack up her life onto a UHaul and drive across country alone and that this is going to be a sign that you will remember for years to come.  She says he should have flown here, helped you pack and helped you make that drive across country and the fact he didn't tells her all she needs to know about him.

You good?

What say you about this situation?  Do you think Roger was wrong or is this a case of truth hurts?

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Convo at 13700

Robby:  You need to take your truck in and ask him to check the seal-something-or-other.

Me:  Hey...I'm the woman...he won't tell me the right stuff...you need to do it.

Robby:  Yeah...but you're not a typical woman.  You know exactly what you want and how to get it and nobody is going to try and pull the wool over your eyes because they know you'll tag them.

Me:  *BLINK* *BLINK* *SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY*

 

SIP:  Me too...I can't figure out if he passed the buck or insulted all women.

Me:  Men suck.

 

What say yall?  Should I cut him?
