Celebrate Yourself On Your Birthday!

5/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Monday was my 51st birthday. I don't mind admitting my age because getting older doesn't bother me. Some people will say it's just another year, or it's only a number. But I say it's the start of another year of life which means I'll have more chances to do what my heart's telling me to do, more opportunities to grow and learn, and more time to spend with the people I love the most! 
Picture
Also, a birthday is a great time for a little indulgence! I scheduled several things this week like a mani/pedi, a haircut, teeth whitening, and I bought some new clothes, books, and some furniture and accessories for my house which is undergoing major renovations!  (Pictures coming soon!)  Overall, it's been a great week, and I'm thankful to start another year on this planet! 

Do you celebrate your birthday yourself? How do you pamper yourself?

Questions About Me

4/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
I bought this book at Target, which is my all-time favorite store, and thought it would be a wonderful way for you to get to know me better and for me to share some other aspects of my life with you. So I'll pick and choose a few questions each week to share with you. 
​

  1. What is the funniest movie you've ever seen? Without a Paddle. This is one movie I can watch over and over again and still laugh out loud. 
  2. What is the one thing if you ever lost it would devastate you? A ring someone I love gave to me eight years ago.
  3. Have you ever walked out of the cinema before the film was done? Yes. It was for A Midsummer Night's Dream with Michelle Pfeiffer. I never saw the rest of it and don't want to. 
  4. What is the last thing you dressed in costume as? I rarely dress in costume, even for Halloween. I did dress up for a friend's 1950s themed birthday party. I wore a poodle skirt, black and white shoes, and a pink wig that didn't last very long into the party because it was irritating.
  5. What song is your favorite to slow dance to?  This has changed over the years. I imagine it'll change again. Right now, though, it's Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

My Not-So-Guilty Pleasures

4/12/2018

It seems like every day on social media there is a person (or people) sharing a story about how someone criticized them for something they chose to do that didn't hurt anyone. It could be something as simple as binge-watching Downton Abbey instead of cleaning the house. Yep. I've done it. But that's just it. Why should we feel guilty about it? I don't feel guilty about the TV programs I watch, the movies I enjoy, or the music I listen to because they're my choices.  So I'm going to share some of my not-so-guilty pleasures with you today, and I encourage you to let go of the feelings of guilt and just be you!
  • I love, love, love the television show, When Calls the Heart. It's on the Hallmark Channel, and I'm so addicted that I won't schedule anything at 9:00 p.m. Sunday nights while new episodes are airing.
  • I have favorite television couples that would break my heart if they broke up. Call me romantic, but some TV writers know how to tug at the heartstrings. 
  • I have a Simply Beautiful Men board on Pinterest that contains pictures of men that make me drool, and I keep adding to it. God did make some men who are easy on the eyes.
  • I have a short list of male celebrities that I have made it a goal to meet one day. 
  • If I don't have any reason to leave my house, I will wear pajamas all day long. 
  • I am addicted to these superhero television shows—The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Luke Cage, and Supergirl. 
  • There are plenty of days when my meals consist of cereal because I don't feel like cooking. 
  • I love Nickelback, One Direction, Josh Groban, Blake Shelton, and Taylor Swift. My music tastes are very eclectic. 
  • I have read the Twilight books so many times, I've lost count.

9 More Things About Me You Don't Know

5/5/2017

So I wrote a post last year, sharing 9 things about me. A lot can happen in a year so I wanted to share 9 more things you don't know about me, probably because they happened last year or I just haven't shared them yet. 
  1. I have been known to binge watch the same show (that I love) two or three times in a row to make sure I didn't miss anything.  
  2. I have a heart monitor implant because I have an irregular heartbeat. 
  3. I create music videos about my favorite television or movie couples when I have the time. I've been doing this since 2008, and it gives my brain a break from all the writing. 
  4. I wrote my first full-length novel at 18.
  5. I've just started participating in a project called Pass the Purse which involves filling gently used purses with items women can use. The purses are then given out to homeless women in my area.
  6. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I've kept three houseplants alive for the last four months. Usually, they die within the first month. 
  7. I will be attending my first ever fan convention in November. (It's like Comic-Con but smaller.)
  8. I panic if my checking account gets below a certain number. 
  9. I cannot stop myself from buying pens and journals. My collection is strong.

What if everyone knew your secrets?

2/23/2017

0 Comments

 
I read a blog challenge on Tumblr tonight, and the question was: How would your life change if everyone knew your secrets? I cringed and swallowed hard. Wow. That wouldn't be good. 
Picture
We all have secrets. Maybe it's something simple like you had a crush on your best friend's boyfriend back in high school, or it could be something more sinister. Either way, can you imagine how your life would change if all your secrets came to light? Could you stand in front of a room full of people while your deepest, darkest secrets were read aloud? 
​
I know my life would definitely change. Even my closest friends don't know all of my secrets because, let's be honest, that's why they're called secrets. Would knowing all of my secrets change how they felt about me? Probably not, but I would wonder, and that would change my relationship with them. 
​
So how about you? How would your life change if everyone knew your secrets?
