Friday The 13th

I am slightly superstitious. I thought, just in case anyone else out there in blog world is also superstitious, that I would post this very helpful information about how to make it through the cursed day....good luck!

"Folklore offers 2 cures for Friday the 13th; one recommendation is to climb to the top of a mountain or skyscraper and burn all the socks you own that have holes in them. Another is to stand on your head and eat a piece of gristle."

Ok. I seriously doubt that I will do either of these but it IS something I read online this morning while I was scanning the headlines and I thought Id better share, just in case someone has some holy socks that are haunting them! I hope that whomever is reading this only has good fortune today!

A Fun Shoe Story

Once upon a time...

ok just kidding the shoe story doesn't start like that, well, I guess it could...

Once upon a time, last Christmas actually, Mom gave Brandon and I some shoes in celebration of the holiday. Before I unwrapped my shoes Mom warned me that they weren't actually very cute and I was supposed to return them and find some that were more my style. We returned the shoes and were on the hunt until April 19th (which is when this fun shoe story took place)

Mom and I had been looking since January for the right pair of shoes, and while running around Ogden, we decided to stop at a shoe store and look again. While at this shoe store, an amazing thing happened...we BOTH found a pair of shoes that we thought would work. Finally the search was finished!! So we bought the shoes, went to the car and put them on our happy little feet. It was then that I started thinking to myself "these are pretty cute shoes, but I kind of like moms more. Oh well, we've been looking so long and we finally found some, I just wont say anything" Try to guess what was going through moms head...yup, the SAME thing! "These are pretty cute shoes but I think the shoes Michelle got would suit me better. Oh well, I wont say anything cause we've been looking so long and we finally found some." Well we finally (and it took a while) admitted to each other what we were thinking and we ended up turning around so we could go back to the store and trade shoes. I think the sales lady thought we were a little nuts! It was pretty funny to us...but maybe you had to be there...

Any Day Now

Missy Higgins - Any Day Now

How long, how long, how long
Will we take to come undone
If you know the answer tell me now
And I'll write at the calendar for our countdown

'Cause what if what we see is all, is all we've got
Well say you've kept some fire aside
To set alight to me some surprising night
And say you've locked some fire away
To set light to me some surprising day

Any day now

How come, how come, how come
I'm now on a road holding out my thumb
If you know my destination please
Well find me the fasted car and throw me the keys

'Cause what if what we see is all, is all we've got
Well say you've kept some fire aside
To set alight to me some surprising night
And say you've locked some fire away
To set light to me some surprising day

Cause finger by finger we're losing grasp
And I'm questioning the reasons
Why nothing beautiful does last

Well say you've kept some fire aside
To set alight to me some surprising night
And say you've locked some fire away
To set light to me some surprising day
To me some surprising day

Any day now

The Simplest of Things

I love those simple little things that make you a little bit happier, just cause they do. Like Iced Chai Tea. Anybody want to share their simple little pleasures??

Time for Change

I felt it was time for a change, so I changed my background...what do you think? I'm hoping to make a couple more changes in the next few days, we'll see if it happens

I Love These Girls

I have had some good friends in my life, but I've never had a friend as great as my Shay Lee. I am certain that we knew each other in some former life. She is so easy to be around, and shes fun, and loving, and beautiful and wonderful. She loves me just the way I am, just as much as I love her just how she is. AND she lets me be an unofficial aunt to her beautiful

daughter Harlee. These people are not friends, they are family and I love, love, LOVE them!!!
