Cant wait!!

Tonight the new season of The Hills starts!!!




Then Tuesday night, my old favorite show is BACK!! 90210!!
Oh this week just CANT get any better!!

True Love Conquers All

I believe everyone has one person that they are meant for.
There is an instant connection; a spark that only the two people can feel.
Its when you love someone, and they completely feel the same way, as if they are stung with it, completely on the same page, no doubts.


I haven't been with anyone yet that I haven't doubted.
Someday it will happen for me.

Our Mini Vacay!

Well, we didnt go to the camping place like we wanted to! :( Also, the water park resort thing didnt workout either, so we went to branson and stayed at a hotel, then went to a small indoor waterpark. here are some pics! :P

Here are some pics ( i did not take ) of the indoor waterpark Emma played at!

I can't believe my baby went down these slides!


Emma when we got our "old time" pics taken!


Heres a restaurant we went to:


And here is a shopping center that we shopped at:


And guess who I was about 10 ft from
next to his tour bus?




Kenny Chesney!! We were walking by the shopping place after our ghost tour (it was so late, and no one was around, and his tour bus was stopped, and he was sitting outside, and yikes I walked past him )

Ill post more pics that i took later. My camera is dead, and i have to get new batteries so i can upload my pics.

I will post pics of the ghost tour I went on!

Stressed ouuuut

Lately I have so much on my mind. I am really excited for all my trips! I cant wait to have my trips, and then finally get a job, save up some money, and move! I have been contemplative about where I want to go. Its soooo hard, because I want to move someone, and STAY there and really FINALLY start my life. I want to make friends, and I want Emma to make friends too, and go to school (when shes at the age) and feel like shes "home".

I don't feel like we are home here. I love my family, but I really would like to leave Missouri. Its just not me. I'm really excited to move, and start fresh somewhere :)
It seems really exciting! I really would like to be in South Carolina, or Florida... but anything is possible at the moment :)

I've been doing alot of research, trying to find the right place for both me and Emma.

I really like Florida. I like the weather, I like how the real estate right now is down, Its SUPER cheap rent/buy wise there right now. I would like to be near the beach, have have warm weather :) (but then again, I am worried if I will miss the snow!) I also really like South Carolina because I love the good hospitality the South has. I love the way they are family oriented, have manners, and are just good old values you really don't see as much in the Midwest.

I'm doing alot of studying, and researching, I think I am more drawn to florida but because its cheaper :) I really think either place would be good for me career-wise.
--------------------------------
We are supposed to go Camping tomorrow, but I am not sure if we are anymore because its supposed to storm ALL weekend! :( I really want to go , but I am not sure what my family will decide.

Here's a pic of the place we might go. Its all along the river, and you can rent kayaks, canoes, rafts, etc. and camp right off the water!

Camping!

We are going camping this weekend!! We leave on Thursday!! I cant wait!!

I'm going to run and get Emma this before we go:


I want to get her some sort of camping set or something.

peppermint mints!

Today I made some mints!

Firstly, I took some Gharadelli Chocolate (you can use nestle, gharadelli is very expensive, I love Gharadelli the best though) Heated it up, we tried it both ways, first batch was on the stove, the second one was heated up with the microwave. I perfer the stove.



After chocolate is melted, add a dash of peppermint extract to the chocolate


Then take a round cracker and dunk it in the chocolate.

(this pic was taken when I was on the last cracker, as you can see the chocolate started drying already, you really have to do this quickly)
Line a cookie sheet with some wax paper


and place the chocolate covered crackers on the paper.

before the chocolate begins to harden, take Candy Canes


Put them in a sandwich bag, and hit them (I used the back end of an icecream scoop) into tiny little pieces


Then immediately (its good to have all this done prior to coating the crackers in chocolate) sprinkle the candy cane on top to the chocolate.


then pop the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 10 min or so. This helps the chocolate harden quickly. You can transfer them onto a pie plate, or keep them a tin in your fridge, if you happen to have some left



These are perfect for xmas, but since we had some candy canes here I just made them today You can get really creative, and purchase multi colored candy canes, etc.

RUN RUN RUN!

Today I jump started my week by running early at 6am. I just got home and showered and its about 10 after 7am and I am just wondering what else I should be doing. :)

I really hope this becomes a habit. I plan on jumping on the trampoline alittle bit later, and walking Belle at least twice.

I NEED to be doing this everyday... but alot of times I just kind of brush it under the rug only to later hate myself for not doing a damn thing. Usually thats at night before I go to bed.. I think about everything I did, everything I ate, and how much I despise my body.. sad, yes I know.. but owell, I need some motivation!!

I'm going to start treating myself a little better by doing little things every time I hit my mini goal. Like if I work out, I can go tanning... or I can buy that shirt I have been eying.

Maybe since I started my Ebay obsession this week Ill start treating myself to little Ebay spoils.

Here are some things I bought yesterday:

Professional Makeup Brush Set

(sorry they don't let you save the pic, so you'll have to follow the link)

And these cool Mineral eyeshadows

I really have to say I have been using my Mary Kay cleansers, and the TimeWise products, and I ACTUALLY have noticed a change in my skin. My skin is seriously soooo soft, and from what I can see its clearing up nicely. Sometimes I get alittle blotchy, and the occasional few pimples, but for the most part my skin is just combination skin.

I am very familiar with TONS of makeup and facial products being in the beauty industry, and I have to say, this is my favorite so far.

Like I said before, their eye makeup remover is phenomenal, and haven't ever found anything else even worth to say its the next best thing.

I cant wait to try the makeup brushes, I am sure I will like them, there isn't really anything I don't like from Mary Kay.

Batman Brownies!

me and Emma made brownies today. We just made the regular fudge brownies from the box. on the back of it, it had a stencil to make a batman logo on them. Since I love batman,and my brother does too, I decided to try it out

hell laugh when he sees them.

On a more serious note,

Bernie Mac has died ! :(


This is so sad. He was such a good guy too.

CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Not going to try anymore.

I feel like I have been overly nice, or willing to please people lately, and alot of times, got thrown shit back after. I am completely turned off by ungratefulness.



I am a very Opinionated person myself, but I never lose my cool, or hurt anyones feelings. I never degrade anyone, or act like their view is dumb. I always am careful to not be hurtful.

Opinionated:
holding very strong opinions which one is convinced are right

Rude:
insulting or impolite, vulgar or obscene, lacking refinement

More importantly, I do not like when people use the fact that they "opinionated" to excuse them for rude behavior. They are two different things. I tried talking to this person, calmly of course, I am no woman who 'starts arguments' because I find it completely classless, and refuse to lower or submit myself to such behavior.

I definitely have a backbone, and refuse to brush things under the rug. I am not scared to confront anyone, which I did confront this person prior to making this blog.

I guess the whole reason why I am submitting this entry today, is because after telling the person how I felt about a situation we were in, the person completely put their guard up (not surprising) played the "I am opinionated card" and then continued to turn even more childish to say, "from now on Ill just agree with everything, and all your ideas".

How does someone respond to that? I wont. I refuse to play childish games. I find this whole thing very unfortunate, but then again, after sleeping on it, I have decided that I'm not going to let it bother me. The little I have left to care, is being dumped into this blog, and after I submit this, then it is over for me too.

I could go on, but refuse. Its more amusing for me to cut this blog off right here.
