i miss you. :'(

with all the hustle and bustle of christmastime lingering in the air,

i have been thinking about the past,

and the fun stuff i did.

this week i have been missing so much of my "old life".

love my "new life" too. but sometimes, i just miss the good ole' days.

so.

Dear Brittany Murphy,

i'm really sad you died today. you were one of my most favorite actresses. i hope you're doing well up there in Heaven. you'll be sorley missed down here. i'm sad i wont get to see new works of yours, but in your memory i'll watch uptown girls over and over and over again. 

say "hi" to michael and heath for me. 

a forever fan,


{pic of loverly ms. murphy found herrrrrrre. because of, of course this. -- you can go here (among other places)to read about Brittany's death}

*yawn*.

i'm tired.

and not in a very good mood.

mostly because i'm worn out.

:P

i need a smile.

hey diddle, diddle,

meet naomi/taza. and my new tradition.

so i've started reading this {awesome} blog recently, written by someone called naomi/taza.

she's just a normal girl like me,

but her posts inspire me to be more {positive}, {creative}, and {grateful}.

(naomi/taza if your reading this, hi! you inspire me so much everyday! keep being just who you are!)

i love being inspired.

and she shares the same faith as i do, which is also really cool.

so you should check her out. you can find her here.

i {encourage} you to take a look, because really, she rocks. :)

(she does awesome give aways too!)

"what brought this suggestion on?" you might ask.

well, i've been having a downer few weeks lately (minus my totally awesome thanksgiving), and i've really needed a {dang} good pick me up.

see, naomi/taza does this awesome thing called happy lists. 

and so, today (out of inspiration via naomi/taza), i've decided to start something like that (in my next post). i'm calling it {"daily/weekly smiles"} because so many times, its the simple things in life, that really make me smile and help me get through. from here on out, every now and then i'll be sharing what simple thing helped me out on any particular day.

i hope you'll join with me in recognizing the {simple} things in your life.

hugs and kisses all. you rock my world.

why are there so many songs about rainbows,


{the great pic you see above is by shana rae. i found her on flickr and all her images make me smile and feel a little bit warmer on the inside. thanks shana rae!}

...

i am bored.

what do you do when you're bored?

half empty, half full,

time to get off.

sissykins is playing {spyro} on our ps2.

she's calling the {characters} "grossies".

and telling {spyro} the dragon to "run!".

i think its time for {her} to get off.

great big beautiful tomorrow,

lapsana apogonoides.

i love this picture! its called {lapsana apogonoides}.

doesn't {everyone} feel like this sometimes?

that's how i feel right. this. second.

pondering,

{i found this picture on flickr. it is by jam343. what a great person.}

flowers in the trash.

i found these {flowers} in the trash yesterday. they didn't look like they were ready to be thrown away. yes, they were dried and crinckley but still so colorful and beautiful! it was like they were {hanging} on for dear life...

...too late. they're in the dumpster now.

good bye beautiful {flowers}!

(and symbolically it hailed today.)

a rose by any other name, would smell as sweet,
