If life gives you lemons...

make lemonade....why can't life give you pork chops? I am hungry right now, not thirsty....

Big Green Egg Pork chops

Life is testing me right now...or maybe has been, but i was ignoring it. Sometimes you here some news and you should be like "OH MY GOD, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" But i'm one of those people who is automatically thinking "That's so not fair." I admit it, my first reaction is jealousy. And it's wrong...right? I'd like to one day be the person who is so very comfortable in their own skin and life that can react with a genuine "YAY". Will i ever be her? I hope so. Because I really don't like myself when i react like this, I should be very happy for them...and I am....I just feel my life has always been so unfair.....but who said life was fair, right?

ok...let's move on because that was just depressing...funny thing is that the situation stressed me out and i woke up with a kink and a little pain....negativity....pain....fuck...gotcha...so guess what my mantra is today: POSITIVE THOUGHTS....

So as far as my ring collection...here is my new teacup ring from Sammydress...it is adjustable but i don't want to mess with the the metal and wear it out. It sort of fits perfectly on my ring finger....

Thinking about buying the following which are currently on Hautelook....

or/and

Normally i don't wear yellow...but it's nice to have a bright color on your hands once in a while....livens up dark colors, for sure..

 

blah..i can't buy those two rings for 16 bucks each...no way

 

you know the picture of the pork chops is quite nummy...

 

today is September 11th. From what i remember it was a tuesday  in 2011. Today is a day of remembrance and to pray for the families and the lives that were lost that day. I still can't look over the newspaper that i got that day. Or the one with the list of names. sigh...it's a tough day for Americans....

 

 

 POSITIVE DOG STORIES

There were many heroes on 9/11. some of the most important were the canine search and rescue teams trying to discover life underneath the rubble.  Here's a link to those stories on Wild About Pets. Remember these dogs are trained to do some of the hardest jobs...they find bodies...alive and dead. They are the ones sent into the crumbling abyss, often times injured. We must honor these dogs and their handlers and thank them for doing a good job. I wanted to copy a picture and insert here, but there are too many good ones. Please check out this link.

Have a good day everyone....

It's My Fried day!!

I hope many working people across America are taking advantage of this three day weekend and making it a 4 day weekend!! I am! and can you tell by all the exclamation points that i'm super excited and happy???!!! well if you can't tell,  then you're not reading this with much enthusiasm. Cheer up buttercup and let's get on with the fun!

Got my nails done. I realize that a lot of nail salons don't have every color in the rainbow, even if gray isn't one of those colors in the rainbow, but they have colors close to the ones you want. Remember, yesterday i wanted gray and pink. They didn't have gray, but they had a silvery gray. I still think they look cute. What do you think?

i know it's a bit hard to see, but the big toe you can kinda see it. I think it's nice, wish they had the gray. Lesson learned. If you know what you want and you think they may not have the color, buy it and take it with you!

What else, what else...mmmm going out to eat tonight! My livingsocial deal for Chianti Cucina! (remember i need to think of positive things, and what's more positive than FOOD???)  ok so it's one appetizer, 2 entrees and dessert. click here for the menu Appetizer-either the radicchio al forno or bruschetta. Bruschetta has a lot of calories because of the bread....but it's so good.....the steak or the pork chop? and i'm thinking some profiteroles and some coffee....i think tonight is about stepping outside the box a little.  :)

Forever 21 is having a buy one get one free sale....Mens, Womens, Girls, it ends Sunday. here's the link.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS...POSITIVE THOUGHTS....I CAN ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I FEEL RIGHT NOW. NOT WHAT I MAY FEEL TOMORROW, IN AN HOUR OR THIS WEEKEND. 

i am a shopping freak. I know...i know...but who is going to tell you what a good deal is...i mean really?

remember people-don't talk about politics on FB. it's annoying.  Oh and I already know who i'm voting for, so i would really appreciate it if you all stopped asking me for money. thanks. 

i signed up for Birchbox and i'm going to tell you whether or not 10 bucks a month is a good deal for these boxes....so stay tuned.

i know what you've been waiting for "Positive doggy story time"

Pet heroes USA Today article 

This article covers a bunch of different dogs and cats helping people in the community. It's really a great article. Read it. It's inspiring. I feel really good sharing these positive stories, because it helps us remember that bad things may happen everyday, but good things happen ALL the time and good people do exist. 

If i don't get back on tomorrow. just want to say have a great holiday weekend! be safe!!! 

See you next week! 

and howdy doody to you....

Sorry I'm late. Busy, busy day!! But here i am, nice and sweaty and out of breath because I rushed to get here! Ok...well what should we talk about today?

Positive thinking.... that is a major component to my pain class. I've often thought about how sometimes I check in too much, know what i mean? I ask "how are you doing?" and i quickly scan my body for tight spots. It's kind of a not so positive way to talk to myself. I learned that negative thinking causes stress (duh) but also causes tension (double duh) and then the pain appears worse (triple duh)-I KNOW THIS!! so why do i find it so hard to do the opposite and just be or instead of trying to find the pain or scan myself for pain spots, why don't i just think things that make me laugh or tell myself positive things? Why is it so hard???? Here I am talking to all of you and sounding Negative. Doesn't that fucking suck? lol. So this is my day 1 of trying to be more positive. So far my only mantra for when my brain begins to drift away are the words "positive thoughts". Laugh if you want, but it's distracting and strangely it makes me feel better. I can't stress too much that I don't have it down..because it's only day 1. So POSITIVE THOUGHTS Y'ALL.

Gonna get my nails done! yahoo. a friend and i are going to get our pedi's done. I may get a mani to match. I don't want to brag or anything, but i was playing around with french manicure colors before it got to be a huge fad. I remember this lady asking me why i got my nails black and white, she thought they looked awesome. then she got it done too!!! Blue and red is a good color combo too. I think i want to do pink and gray or yellow and gray. hmmm here are some cool ideas:

so cute for halloween

pretty color combo click here for source

I'm pretty sure you get my drift. So all of these, except the bottom one, come from pinterest. If you know me or have been a close girlfriend of mine, you know that i can only do ONE color on my own nails; I lack this thing called patience. I always find i need to do pee, open a bottle, open a door...etc. while my nails are drying. I need to get more super drying nail colors!  I'll tell you what happens tomorrow.

I have friday off! yahooo. I am so stoked. 4 days off for this girl!

Positive Doggy Story of the day:

Today I share a story and a link to the video of a news report of Titan, the pitbull, who alerted his "dad" that his "mom" was injured. This story warmed my heart, because he was awarded a medal for his heroism. Thank you Titan. 

Here's the link to the video
