I Just Needed A Plan

After some potentially disapointing and life changing news Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday were not good days for me. I started to think about where my life was headed and what I had accomplished and what I still felt I needed to feel complete and satisfied in my life right now. After a few days of analyzing and major stressing out, I realized that I just needed a backup plan. I needed to have some idea in my head of where life would take me and my husband in the next few years and how we would adjust those plans if things don't work out how we would like them to.
I would like to start a family before the end of 2010. I would like to put our house up for sale and buy one with more space, on a better street, and in the neighborhood of a few close friends. I would like a specific office/computer room in the new house. I would like to get an SUV for all the trips to Home Depot and the grocery store (I am sick of carting everything in a 2 door car). I would like to start going back to church every Sunday.

Some of these things may seem silly but they will help me cope if the news we are hoping to receive soon is negative. I just needed a plan to be OK with whatever the outcome is.

My New Dream Vehicle!

Lately (well, for the last year or so) I have had an obsession with getting a pearl white SUV. I am not set on a particular make or model, but after spending a few hours looking at various dealership websties these are my top 6 that I have come up with. Of course I would ultimately prefer a cream Escalade, but these are more relistic. One day I WILL have one!

Oh Quagmire!

Does She Take A Piece Of Lime?

I absolutely LOVE Britney's new single but I must say I am quite disappointed with the new video. I get the premise (morning after a hotel party with bodies, panties, and promiscuity everywhere) but what the heck is up with the last 45-60 seconds? I don't get how this ties into the rest of the video. Is she trying to show she can be whorish while "seeking Amy", but present a wholesome houeswife image on the outside? Any insights?

Here's the vid:

A Cosmetic Product The Really Works

Very rarely I decide to venture out of my cosmetic comfort zone and try a new product. While browsing the Wal-Mart make up aisle, I decided I really wanted to try Maybeline's new Matte Mousse collection which promised flawless coverage and a smooth finish. All I can say is that this mousse will now be a staple in my cosmetics collection. While I do always start with a layer of liquid foundation, the product gives a non-oily smooth finish and is great to cover blemishes too. Love it!

Happy Kitchen VS Dark Kitchen

Even though it's extremely periwinkle this kitchen is just so bright and happy looking to me! I absolujtely LOVE the little plants in the white pots!

On the other hand this crisp and sophisticated kitchen is absolutely stunning. The glass countertops and compass design on the floor are to die for. I think I'd have to have a cosmopolitan or a martini in my hand at all time when cooking just to do the room justice!

In Ground Bathtub

Although this looks more like a spa hot tub, I would love to have a bathroom with a tub like this! I could step right in and read my book over the side and not worry about my hair getting wet. I especially love the slide-like faucet and the permimeter of stones.

Season 5 Looks SO Good! I Can't Wait!

Beautiful Celebrity Photos

Yup I guess you could say I am obsessed...not only with Hollywood gossip (thanks to Perez) but also with beautiful and striking celebrity photos. I've had these images on my computer for months now and I just don't have the heart to throw them away. They are so stunning! So I've added them to my blog so I can always envy them :)

Not LOST Anymore

Ok so the reason I never got into LOST when it first premiered was because the last thing I wanted was another show that I had to keep up on every week. But a friend recently bought all the seasons and convinced me to start at the beginning.

With that said, I have decided to watch it when and ONLY when I am doing my elliptical work-out. Call it media motivation. The last thing I want to do when I come home from work is exercise, but the FIRST thing I want to do is watch the next episode on the DVD.

It does suck that I am only on season 1 but there are commercials on TV all the time for season 5. I have to change the channel immediately so I don't learn any secrets ahead of time.

Now that I am 6 episodes in I am addicted. The first few were a little slow but it has picked up rapidly. I just found out that the Korean lady can speak english, and Sayid just got knocked out up on the mountain! Those of you who are on season 5 are probably laughing at how far behind I am!

Anyone know of a web forum where you can discuss each episode?

Slumdog Millionaire

I cannot WAIT to see this film! I think it looks absolutely fantastic! I know it's up for a few Oscars this year and I hope it takes at least one. Today I called Blockbuster and the DVD release date is mid March. This may be one I might actually shell out the cash to purchase.

I'm very selective when it comes to DVD's I will actually buy. I can only think of two that I have bought when they were released: The Family Stone and 21.

Erin From "The City" Look-A-Like

Everytime I see the chick on the left in an ad on www.apartmenttherapy.com It reminds me of Erin (on the right) from MTV's "The City". They look so much alike! It's been bugging me so I had to post about it. Maybe it IS Erin as I think she's done a little modelling in the past....Hmm?

...Are A Girls' Best Friend

Call me a nerd but I loved making these jewellery collages with pieces I found online and with an added touch of color. Diamonds truly are a girl's best friend!

Oh I wish I had them all!

Window Sill Planter

What a cute little indoor window planter! I do not have plants in my house nor am I a gardener, but something about this photo made me want to start. It seems simple enough for a rookie like me and looks so elegant too! Right now I don't have any appropriate windows in my home that could accomodate a sill planter like this, but now this is something I will definetly look for in my new home. Anyone know what kind of plants these are?

Deseo By J Lo

After smelling this on one of my stepdaughter's friends, I am in love with it! I find it's hard to find a good perfume for me that is floral, yet not too strong because my hubby is highly sensitive to fragrances. I think this one would work well, and it's like nothing I'ver smelled.

Why Do I Want Her To Fail?

So apparently NBC has resorted to creating a sit-com about a Parks & Recreation employee with The Office's Rashida Jones, and SNL's Amy Poehler. Other than mockery and nervous laughter....where are the funnies in this idea? It will most definetely air for the 6 initial episodes and then will never be heard of again (unless they start giving out Razzies for primetime TV shows). Could it be that I just want it to fail because of Rashida Jones?

For all of you Jim *heart* Pam fans out there......any character Rashida plays will forever be seen as a b***ch due to her interferance in the Jim and Pam saga. I doubt I am the only one who feels this way and even though "Karen Fillipeli" was just a character, I will never be able to look at her with any warm and snuggly feelings. I hate to say it, but it's true.

So come April when we get the first taste of "Public Service" will you tune in?

R-A-I-N-B-O-W Collages

Because I love everything colorful, crafty, organized and creative, I decided to kill time at work by finding some raibow colored pics of art supplies ect. Well, 3 days later I have put together 8 images and had a ton of fun doing it! Aren't they fun to look at!
