Cheers to Movie Night
Whats better than cuddling up with your love, a cozy drink, blanket, and a good flick, I love watching movies. Granted, if it's at home after a long day and I'm snuggled on the couch...I'll more than likely fall asleep. That doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it though, don't be fooled. So after 2 attempts, last night we finally finished Children of Men, with Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, and Michael Caine. Has anyone seen it? Well it's pretty intense. It takes place in 2027 and in the past 18 years no babies have been born! Can you imagine the sadness in the world, everyone would feel so hopeless, technology would stop advancing, many business would crash. What would be the point if the world isn't going to continue. I won't go into too much detail, I mean who likes a movie spoiler! This is def a good one...it is as I call a "stressful" movie however. So you have to be in the mood for that.

Cheers to the Birthday Boy!!
It's my baseball players birthday!!! He woke up going I feel so olddd....mind you he's only 22 and I'm turning 23 in May!
Ok, I'd like to keep this a positive blog. However I just have a littleee opinion about gift giving that's been bugging me since December, not because I couldn't let go, but because gift giving holidays kept coming up. So I was at work in December and we were talking about gifts. One lady (I say lady meaning, yes this is a grown woman) said "I hate getting stupid gifts" followed by other negative comments. I was asked what I was hoping to get, I reply honestly and say .."I don't really care what I get, the fact they thought to get me anything is enough for me" and everyone in the room said I was BSing. WHAT?! Can we go back to when were little kids and our parents always told us its the thought that counts. How can a thought like I hate this stupid gift pop in to your head, I'm pretty sure those aren't the values people will instill in their children. Then a few days before Valentine's Day people were calling in and saying how they compete with gifts and on and on and I got her an ipod and she just drew me a painting.
People, it isss the thought that counts. Holidays are expensive and if you have 20 people to buy for it's really expensive. We buy gifts because we care, because it is the thought that counts!
Ok, I'm done venting about that, its happy times and celebration to for Baseball Players Birthday! YAYYYYY
My MeMaw (it's my southern coming through, this is what I call my mom's mom in TN), sent baseball player a birthday card, it was so sweet! She wrote a longer note in his card then she did in mine! Ohhh Memaw! On the card was the coolest quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson..."What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." How cool is that?! This is what I take out of it. Our past is our past, things we've done that we wish we did differently and things that happened to us that we wish didn't. Things that may be happening in our present or happen in our future are bare no matter to the strength and will and the true person that we really are. They hold no comparison to our true person. We all make mistakes and have regrets, remember your true person.
**All Pictures googled...ok so i know the princess snail isn't exactly "boy birthday" but it was just too cute to pass up!
***still not sure why "googled" is not considered a verb

Cheers to Valentine's Day
So I woke up this morning and made a delicious breakfast for my wonderful baseball player...courtesy of the ever so creative Martha Stewart.
Materials:
Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
Thick Slices of bread
Butter or Pam
Eggs
I made a few alterations to the breakfast.
1. Thick Slices of bread ( I used 100% whole grain cinnamon bread, it gave it a little sweet addition)
2. Spray the inside of your cookie cutter with Pam or butter. I use Pam (less calories)
3 Just a little tip, once your eggs are almost done, if you take the cookie cutter out, the egg won't move, so I flipped it over, to toast the other side a little more. Just remember you want your eggs to be almost finished or it will run.
4. We also had turkey bacon, but that was after I took the picture, sat down, started eating, and was like oh crap I forgot the bacon.

How cute is this!
Voila!
Picture our cupcakes from The Flying Cupcake...it's a cell phone pic
Bad pic...AMAZING cupcakes!
I apologize for the quality of my pictures. I don't have a fancy camera and do my best to edit them on picnick to make them decent looking ;)
By the way if you haven't used picnik and don't exactly have the best camera or photo taking skills like moi...its super fun to use and really helps improve the quality of your pictures :)
Ok, so back to Valentine's Day <3
What an exciting day its been so far! Baby "K" was born last night on Valentine's Day eve!!! His name is Spiros (Spirit) Maximus(the greatest). Mamma K did wonderfully, she delivered this 9lb bundle of joy with no meds....all natural! I can't wait to meet my new baby cousin. Along with all of that love I get to meet my valentine for breakfast and get Hot Sauce Chicken for dinner!
Just remember all you independent souls out there...Valentine's Day is a day of love....not a day of significant others. So celebrate your love for your self, bestie, or family! Go pamper your self, have a movie night with the girls, have coffee with your mom, dad, sister, grandma, grandpa, step-dad, brother, anyone you want to show your love for.
Happy Valentine's Day!! I leave you with this really creepy Valentine I googled :)

Cheers to New and maybe not so comfortable experiences
Ok, so I'm all for new experiences and learning about new cultures and traditions, in fact I love it!
Friday and Sunday(yes Superbowl Sunday) I had 2 very new yoga experiences.
Friday I went to a Yin Yoga class with my brother's girlfriend. If you aren't sure what Yin Yoga is, its a yoga practice that focus on flexibility more than strengthening by hold poses for long periods of time. I was super excited for this, I'm all about working on flexibility and well I love yoga. Sunday the class was at a studio by my house that I've been wanting to try out, the actual practice there was more of your traditional practice.
Well so why were these not so comfortable but still exciting experiences?
I normally take yoga at work, an instructor, whom I loveeee btw, comes to our gym and teaches a class, so it's not in the traditional setting.
Yin Yoga was in a loft with tea light candles all around in Eastern Market Downtown Detroit. Such a calming atmosphere...well until everyone started making strange noises! At one point she told everyone to start making their favorite animal noise! Now mind you these poses are not cozy and can bring some pain, you're hold them for like 3 min. so I get the sighs. (Yoga breath is normally done all through the nose). These noises however were was as if they were having a spiritual experience during the posture. I understand for some yoga is just that a spiritual experience, for me its more for calmness, strengthening, and flexibility, so I was taken aback. So what did I get out of this... holy cow those people are sooooooooo bendy! Annddd while yin yoga might not be for me, the studio offers classes on ariel yoga and trappezee! I'm looking into signing up and I can't wait!
Sunday's Yoga class...I've never been in a class where they actually chanted, in fact I didn't even know they did that. So as we were preparing for the class to start imagine my surprise as everyone starts saying "ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" in unison. Once the class ended, our instructor didn't say a word and walked out of the room and no one said a word to each other. Now I am a very social person, and my goal in trying this studio was to find a "community" feel studio and to increase my knowledge in yoga while strengthening. I think I am going to try this studio one more time and while they are ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmming, take that time to pray. I really enjoyed the actual practice and wow the people in that class were so strong, a woman held a forearm stand for 2min!
I also received a groupon deal for a month unlimited at a yoga studio near by called Detroit Yoga, it was only 30$! I couldn't pass it up, so maybe I'll find what I'm looking for there?
Anywho...moral of the story, try new things, respect other cultures, traditions, and practices, even if its not for you. It's ok to be uncomfortable and you can still get something out of it, I did.

Cheers to "me time" Mornings
I decided Monday, after many weeks of trial and error that I'd actually start getting up early and take some time to sit, enjoy some coffee and write in my blog in the morning. So far I'm 2 for 2 and I'm enjoying it, despite the fact I've had 2 late nights. 1. because Sundays for some reason I just can't go to bed early, I don't like saying good bye to the weekends. and 2. I was up last night finishing part of my baseball players gift for our many celebrations we have coming up <3
I have a lot of inspiring women in my life and to give honor to those women this morning I'm going to share some of the "inspiring things" we pass along to each other.
This on is apparently taught at Stanford...hmmm
"I just finished taking an evening class at Stanford. The last lecture was on the mind-body connection - the relationship between stress and disease. The speaker (head of psychiatry at Stanford) said, among other things, that one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman, whereas for a woman, one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture her relationships with her girlfriends.
At first everyone laughed, but he was serious. Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically this quality “girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin - a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well being. Women share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. They rarely sit down with a buddy and talk about how they feel about certain things or how their personal lives are going. Jobs? Yes. Sports? Yes. Cars? Yes. Fishing, hunting, golf? Yes. But their feelings? Rarely.
Women do it all of the time. We share from our souls with our sisters/mothers, and evidently that is very good for our health. He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out at a gym.
There's a tendency to think that when we are "exercising" we are doing something good for our bodies, but when we are hanging out with friends, we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged—not true. In fact, he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking!
So every time you hang out to schmooze with a gal pal, just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health! We are indeed very, very lucky. Sooooo let's toast to our friendship with our girlfriends. Evidently it's very good for our health."
Strong Person
A strong person knows how to keep their life in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say "I'm Ok" with a smile.
God is good. Change is coming.
17. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
18. Agree to disagree. You don't have to win every argument.
19. Don't compare your life to others'. You don't know their journey.
20. Ladies- Go on and burn those special candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good china, and wear your fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion, every day is special.
(that ones my favorite and I think about it every time I say ohh I should wait)
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Forgive everyone for everything.
23. What other people think of you, is none of your business.
24. Tim heals almost everything, give time, time!
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will, stay in touch with them.
27. Envy is a waste of time. God provides, remember.
28. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
29. Do the right thing
30. Call your family often
31. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: "I am thankful for___." "Today I accomplished___."
32. You are too blessed to be stressed.
33. Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

God is good. Change is coming.
In 2009, to start off the new year, my aunt forwarded me this in an email--I kept it and reefer to it often:
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate antidepressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. Buy a DVR, tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
4. When you wake up in the morning complete this statement, "My purpose is to ____today".
5. Live with the 3 E's--Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy
6. Watch more movies, play more games, and read more books than you did last year.
7. Always pray and make time to exercise.
8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you're awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants
11.Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
12. Clear the clutter from your house, car, and desk
13.Invest your energy in the positive present moment. Don't waste your energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you can't control.
14. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class...but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime
15. Life isn't fair but it's still good
16. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone17. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
18. Agree to disagree. You don't have to win every argument.
19. Don't compare your life to others'. You don't know their journey.

Cheers to Finding the Good in the Bad
Today I received the news that my cousins house burned down this morning. Her and my aunt (her grandma) are in MI visiting right now which means no one was hurt and the animals were all at "babysitters". GCH has had to deal with more than any 18 year old should have to deal with, it broke my heart hearing this news from her today...seeing as she isn't here, I'll leave her story to her.
The news brought me back to my senior of high school, when my house burned down. I remember going to bed that night not having a toothbrush, deodorant, make up, anything. Those all sound like such silly things to miss, but those are things we often take advantage of. How lucky we are that those are considered silly things to miss, some don't have that luxury.
I was at work when I heard the news, MC and her mom picked me up and took me to my house. When I got there my brother was sitting on the curb by himself, my mom was in hysterics, and my little sisters where keeping warm in a neighbors house. MC and her mom later went and got hot chocolate for everyone and soup; this was in October, so it was freezing outside and we were out there for a longgg time. MC's mom also spent time praying with mine.
In the end no one was hurt and our cat (who is indoor/outdoor) was outside.
The way people came together for my family during this time was unimaginable and so so much appreciated. MC gathered a bunch of people from our senior class to go around the neighborhood to ask for cash donations or cans and bottles they could recycle. MC being the cutie she is created a scrapbook of the whole thing. Not only was it freezing that day, it was also the day of the halloween dance at school, and as we all know, dances take a while to get ready for, so they also took time out of getting ready to help. A few days later, everyone met at a restaurant and presented the money they collected for my family, the scrap book, and a gift card for me to a spa. This is something I will never ever forget, I never expected it, I will always hold this near my heart. I told MC today, every time I'm telling this story, then only part that chokes me up is this. Among MC and everyone did, families donated clothes, blankets, make up, you name it, it was given. I was a student aide for a sewing class, which was also the class my favorite teacher taught. My favorite teacher, Mrs. Bosckay kept sending me on errands one day, when I arrived from the last errand, I walked in to all the girls with a bag of clothes for my sisters and I and a card. I cried...the gifts just kept coming. Gifts came from everywhere, I still have all the cards that were given to me during that, and I'll always keep them.
Loosing your home and all of the pictures and memories is a hard thing to grasp. I shared a room with 2 little sisters, on an air mattress for at least 7 months. There were many other things going on in my life at that time as well. We have to remember to always give thanks in bad times. Be thankful and grateful for everything you do have, for the people in your life that love you or reach out to you. For the people you had no idea they even knew you existed but cared enough to reach out. The strangers who reach out because they truly care. Be thankful you still have the memories that those pictures showed.
I don't have any pictures of MCs event on my computer right now, but I will have one posted soon.

Here are some pictures I have of my family and in 2006 (my senior year of HS)
My brother and I before Prom...this is at our new house.
My mom was engaged at the time our house burned. Because of everything, they had to buy a new house a little quicker than planned. Props to JT for giving up his bachelor lifestyle and moving in his fiance and 4 kids. Without him I'm not sure what we would have done.
My favorite teacher and I in 2006...notice above I spent some time in the tanning bed before prom
I have to scan more in
Ohhh and tooth update! Yesterday, I forced myself to eat solid food.
1. Because I was craving Potbelly
2. I think I was getting irritable because my family kept asking me "what's wrong" and I'd say "IM HUNGRY"
So, I went to Potbelly got a sandwich and actually ate it, hurt a little but I think it was because I was babying my gums so much. I get my stitches out tomorrow!!! eek hope it doesn't hurt!

Cheers to things that make us feel better
Ok, I'll start from the beginning...
4 days ago (for 4 days) my right jaw / upper gum was hurting. I was getting so irritated, could NOT figure out what was wrong. Friday I was traveling to Indiana to visit my baseball player and I figured out the problem! A pesky wisdom tooth was growing in! Now, I was surprised because my dentist had me under the impression there was no sign of them.
5 Days Later...
I go to the dentist for a consultation and come out with 2 less teeth! The procedure went really well, I didn't feel a thing, the after was ok. Yesterday I was able to eat melted ice cream and broth. Today soft toast I let melt on my tongue, pancakes I let melt on my tongue, and my lovely sister went and got me some lemon rice soup (yumm).
Luckily today is what us Michiganders have been referring to as "Snowmagedon". My manager told me to work from home today (yayy for grown up snow days!) banks, restaurants, and many businesses either pushed back their opening times or just didn't open. Also, pretty much every school and university from here to Indiana was closed. Now, I planned on spending my grown up snow day, cleaning, doing laundry, working out, and working on getting ideas for some art projects. I didn't have much energy today and when I exerted any I got dizzy.
These are some things that I turn to when I'm not feeling well...

4 days ago (for 4 days) my right jaw / upper gum was hurting. I was getting so irritated, could NOT figure out what was wrong. Friday I was traveling to Indiana to visit my baseball player and I figured out the problem! A pesky wisdom tooth was growing in! Now, I was surprised because my dentist had me under the impression there was no sign of them.
5 Days Later...
I go to the dentist for a consultation and come out with 2 less teeth! The procedure went really well, I didn't feel a thing, the after was ok. Yesterday I was able to eat melted ice cream and broth. Today soft toast I let melt on my tongue, pancakes I let melt on my tongue, and my lovely sister went and got me some lemon rice soup (yumm).

Multiple Episodes of Sex and the City---HBO only please
This has been my favorite movie since, well the first time I saw it.
No one will watch it with me because I can recite the whole thing.
Old movies: this is my go to, any other Audrey movie, Shirley Temple, or Tony Curtis
And of course...being pampered helps, we can all admit it ;)
