my paper chain.

< 3 >

meet blaine.

i tune into glee for one main reason these days:

- blaine -

i love his voice.

i could listen to his songs for hours. (i actually do)  i love their boy group the warblers. i watch every week to see what song [they] perform. he never lets me down.

. my personal favs of blaine's .

teenage dream

misery

hey soul sister

raise your glass

* * and perhaps i love him because he {kinda} resembles the jonas brothers?

<  yes  >

we've come a long way since the {kk}

i post about the same things

over

and

over

again

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

.europe

.food

.trips/adventures

.friends

.clothing

well today is no different bloggers

over the weekend i was able to meet up with some friends. we've come a long way since 2006 when we lived at the kk. [kampus korner] i’ve been thinking about what makes an old friend very special. friendships like these enhance my sense of happiness and overall well-being.

* * {old} doesn't mean something, dirty, worn, or discarded * *

* * {old} is one that you have history with. one where the years seem like nothing. it's someone long and familiar * *

[oh boy]

marriages

health trials

new jobs

new cities

(just to name a few)

friends are treasures... and i am so blessed to have a trunk full of them

thanks for a great night

you don't know how happy you make me

. . . . i have got to figure out the red eye on my camera [sorry]

do i need to make a phone call?

                 .yes.

beep. beep. beep.

[other line] - "operator"

[me] - "hello"
[other line] - "what can i do for you"
[me] - "um could you please put me through to spring ... asap"
[other line] - "spring isn't available right now"
[me] - "well could you give spring a message that i'm ready for her to be here ... please and thank you"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . gosh i want spring to be here

another item i think i "need"

i need want a gold watch

i love it

[maybe i'll browse for one today]

last week.

so....
i thought i had a tough week.
i was sick, stressed from work and school, busy, and i was tired.
in retrospect though, it really wasn’t {that} bad.

in japan - - - disaster struck.
sending love and prayers.
xoxo

pinch me.

< not >
i'm wearing green today

happy st. patrick's day

this is the day:
- i eat lucky charms for breakfast
- the one day of the year that i don't care if someone calls my hair red
- the day where i am proud to have family from ireland

the party that isn't going to happen today

....but someday will.

last week i emailed some friends. i love hosting parties. i'm a party planner. i get joy from thinking of decorations, foods, themes, etc.

here are the details of my email:
-game- we will play a game.
-irish meal- i will have my grandma send me the dishes and recipes. every year her entire meal is 100 percent irish. we can modify the dishes or just make tons of GREEN treats. the traditional thing to make is corned beef and cabbage and both of those sound gross to me haha. we can go with irish stew. i thought this could be fun.
-irish jig- i propose that we learn an irish step dance on you tube.. and then we perform it. dead serious.
-wear green- everyone must be decked out in green.
-tunes- background music -will- consist of bagpipes.
-lesson- a little lesson on st. patrick himself. and an overview of where my ancestors lived in ireland.
-red hair- anyone with red hair is fully welcomed and embraced at our party.

all of these ideas sound great right?

would all of you come to my party?

well

bad news

it isn't happening. not this year. but some year soon.

{i ran out of time}

*** last year... a leprechaun told me that i put the [rock] in shamrock
best.compliment.ever
