I like ME

I happen to like me. Do you?

not ME...Do you like YOU?

You don't have to like me...because I already like me and that's enough for me.

I just want you to like YOU.

...and not because I like you. That is far from a good reason.

I guess, what I am trying to say is.....You really should like yourself, it's kind of important.

Have a good Friday.

two truths and a lie {ice breakers}

1. I am currently following 207 blogs!
2. When I follow, I have every intention to...... "follow"
3. I read every single post from my favorite 207 blogs.

YOUR TURN!

Scary business sense

The family and I went out today for our regular weekend date (lunch and a little shopping). No need to be jealous, that usually means Pizza and the shoe store, my kids grow out of shoes very fast. Anyways, today's trip was to pick out costumes. I was quite excited! I happen to be a fan of Halloween and I needed a break from deciding between Iron man or buzz light year shoes.

The first shop we visited was filled with morbid and gory decor. Unfortunately that wasn't the worst part, you needed a flashlight to get around. Literally. The light was dreadful!!! I was so annoyed we ended up walking out.

The next shop was a lot better. They still had the scary decor but at least they had decent lighting. We were finally able to pick out some costumes. My disappointing shopping trip got me thinking. "AM I THE ONLY ONE ANNOYED BY THE STYLE OF HALLOWEEN STORES OUT THERE?". Honestly, not very young family friendly, AT ALL! Gory, bloody, dreadful lighting...don't get me started on the inappropriate costumes.

I love, LOVE Halloween but I cant say I am a fan of this trend. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Tell me I am not alone...THAT would be scary!

Apology letter

 Dear Bloggy Blog,

This is a little uncomfortable...but I feel like I owe you an explanation. You see....the truth is, I have been hanging out over at the network...EVERY NIGHT since it opened! I know, I know. That is a bit obsessive (even for me). I just cant help it. I am making new friends, discovering new shops and chatting with my party people from New York to the West Coast  and everywhere in between. Some nights ...I event stay up and talk to Australia! :)

I'm sorry...I don't mean to gloat.

I just wanted to say I am sorry and I hope we can make this work. We have been together for a while now and we cant get a little Network get in between us (hee hee...its almost 500members strong).

no, no, no ....I am not gloating again. I am just really excited that we are talking again.

So how have you been?

Happy Birthday to me!

Woohoo!!!! the US team advances and it just happens to be my birthday! Hooray for today:)

p.s go see the rest of her stuff on Etsy...SOOO CUTE!

No way! I am supposed to be Vintage Barbie!

So I was on Facebook (FB) recently doing all those silly quizes where you answer a few questions and all of a sudden you know what kind of movie is your life or who your perfect mate is. Well, I took the "what Barbie are you quiz". If you haven't noticed I am a bit of a fan

This is what I got:

Natalie took the What Barbie Doll are you? quiz and the result is Goodie 2 Shoes Barbie
you are cute, smug and always right. you are even right that this result is definitely NOT you, this quiz is a waste of time, and you are the most likely to post a response on the quiz page stating that fact. you don't spend too much, don't drink too much, don't swear too much and are NEVER out of control. everything is PERFECT, really...except that you constantly make your friends and your men feel inadequate by your critical, goodie-2-shoes nature. lighten up, ok?

HWHAT!

No way!

This is so untrue. I am Vintage Barbie!!! I HAVE to be. Okay, maybe there is a little truth to the goodie 2 shoes thing but who are they kidding by claiming these tests are freakishly accurate?

Anyway, I also took some other quiz's and have learned that:

• My Life is like The Notebook (that one makes me kind of sad)
• I was Royalty in a past Life (sure I was!)
• My Cowboy Name is " Wynonna The -Stallion Raintree (what else could it be?)
• My perfect mate is Ambitious and Driven. (yeah...no comment!)
• If I was Liquor I would be Grey Goose Vodka. BTW this makes me: simple, elegant, and inviting.
• I shine in group situations, but my true area to shine is an intimate, one-on-one setting..(Hmmm Okay. if you say so! )
• Oh Yeah and I have a VERY old Soul!

You gotta love FB.

Anyway, I thought I would share my earth shattering news. I know it changes everything , right?

For me too :)

Okay y'all have a Fab Day..I am going back to FB...I REALLY need to "find" myself!

Letter to Cupcakes

Hi Cupcakes,
It's me Natalie. It's been a long time, but I still think about you. Do you remember when we first met? I was 4 and you were vanilla with sprinkles. I thought you were amazing, so sweet and absolutely incredible.
The years have passed and I am all grown up now. I now realize that you have never been good for me! Our paths are bound to cross again. You are popular and I throw a lot of parties. But know this-I will resist you. I own skinny jeans and will fight for them.

Did you see it blink?
