STOP

To-Do lists run my life. I love them. Crossing off things gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. No, seriously.

Instead of thinking what we need to start doing, let's think about what we need to STOP doing.

1. Paying with credit cards.
2. Frowning.
3. Not saying "Please" and "Thank you."
4. Not being yourself.
5. Being negative.
6. Criticizing.
7. Whining.
8. Running stop signs.
9. Texting/Talking on the phone while driving.
10. Watching TV.
11. Thinking you are the s**t.
12. Not washing their hands after going to the bathroom.
13. Burning Bridges.
14. Quitting.
15. Being late.
16. Not tipping well.
17. Eating processed food.
18. Overeating.
19. Coughing without covering their mouth. (swine flu people)
20. Driving EVERYWHERE.
21. Gaining weight.
22. Not keeping in touch.
23. Bad-mouthing others.
24. Ignoring the needy.
25. Gambling.
26. Worrying.
27. Promising they'll do something and then not do it.
28. Being immature.
30. Buying things they can't afford.
31. Calling in sick when they're not.
32. Not exercising.
33. Speeding.
34. Being selfish.
35.Wasting energy, littering, not recycling.
36. Taking shortcuts in life.
37. Not crossing things off your to-do lists ;)

Do it. Or don't do it? You know what I mean.

INVEST MORE IN YOUR INNER

DEVELOPMENT THAN YOUR

OUTWARD APPEARANCE.

So true. So sad.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN A NEW ERA OF MODERN TIMES WHEN...

1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail/BBM/twitter/facebook chat the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your driveway and use your cell to see if anyone is home to help carry in the groceries.
7. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
8. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. Or do it from bed. On your phone.
9. Your 7 year old nephew has an iphone.
10.All of your friends have an @ in their names.
11. You have never sat through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz.

i came here with a load

And it feels so much lighter now i've met you.

Can I say that long distance Sucks, with a capital 'S'? I'm ready to move back to the desert already and see my boy. I guess Skype is going to become my new BFF.

The summer dissapeared before my eyes and now my brother and sister are away at college and I'm home alone with my parents. Once you leave the nest, you shouldn't be coming back. Damn this economy, I need a job already. And my boyfriend. Okay, I'm done.

i like pleasure spiked with pain...

...and music is my aeroplane

Bazaar

Amelia Earhart-esque. Did you know she had her own fashion line?

blonde bombshell

Brigitte Bardot.

"They may call me a sinner, but I am at peace with myself."

"I leave before being left. I decide."

I found a new obsession for this French actress slash model. This controversial beauty should be summertime's spokeswoman--I mean she made the bikini a sunny day staple (well on our skinny days). Thick black eyeliner. Sexy, blonde, teased hair. And the thick black headbands she always rocked. Love her style, classic babe.

Ah. First blog post ever. I have put this off for months--gotta love procrastination. I will post a mini bio later, my break is just about over and I gotta get back to work.

For now, maybe this quote (which I NEED to start listneing to) will give you an idea of where I am currently.

"I dont know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -Bill Cosby
