I'll THINK OF YOU

Sometimes all you need is a hug or a moment to cuddle someone who you know just loves you for you. I'm lucky that I have a family that makes me feel this way. Some days I don't even know I need it but once I cuddle or hug my loved ones my whole person feels better and happy. When I was little I use to play with my friends Patty Cake. I use to be really good at it also and we had fun songs to go with some of our moves. I can't remember them like I use to. I've been asked this weekend to play Patty Cake. I'm going to have to practice so I can be as good as these people in the YouTube video I link below.

"I’ll think of you as I go
So when I leave you’re not alone
And no matter where we are
We’ll never be that far
‘cause I’ll think of you as I go

I’ll think of you as I dream
So when it’s dark you’ll be with me
And no matter where we are
We can look up to the stars
And I’ll think of you as I dream

Oh, it’s a long and winding road
But you don’t have to walk alone
Cuz no matter where we are
I’ll keep you in my heart
I’ll think of you as I go..."

MOVE INTO LIGHT

I hope you all had a great weekend. It's Monday and new events opened with great new items like this pretty hair from Truth at Uber. I'm also looking forward to this weekend because that means Arcade is about to start. I'm so EXCITED! So today is my day off from work so I'm going to relax. Close your eyes, turn on your favorite music and move into the light.

"We are, all that remains,
Of a world in chaos broken by change,
We are light in the dark,
Calling out for something to spark…

And we’ll hide in the graphite,
Deep inside the earth,
And wait for the fires to start,
In your eyes…"

RIGHT BACK! YUMMY PIZZA

Pizza is my favorite food. So when I saw this top at The Kawaii Project I had to buy it. It's super cute and makes me smile. I'm also going to be wearing it to all our family pizza nights because the statement written on it is so very true. It says, "A balanced diet is a pizza in each hand". It comes in other colors and some cute patterns other then this one. The bow on the back is really pretty. So make sure you check out this event and if you like pizza grab a new shirt. I'm off to have lunch! Guess what I'm going to eat.

BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday and I've been very reflective. I'm very thankful for all the things I've been blessed with this past year. I'm very grateful for the people in my life. I look back on this past year of my life and it's been wonderful and I know this next year is just going to get better. If I don't tell you enough how much I am glad I'm your friend or that I love when you say hi to me. I should! Even a wave here and there on Plurk or my Flickr. I know you are out there and I hope you know that I'm thankful for my friendships in my life.

I can't express with words how much love I have for my family. Each time we are together and hang out I smile and think WOW this is my life. I can't wait to see what this next year brings. I walk into it with open arms. Celebrate each day because I'm going to try my hardest to remember all year long. The best word I could come up with to describe this past year of my life is MAGICAL.

It's my BIRTHDAY!

MESS UP MY HAIR

My sis talked me into getting this Barbershop for the guys in our family. She reminded me that we have a few guys who might need hair cuts every now and then. I have to admit that I had a great time decorating this for our family sim. All the items are made perfect for a nice set up and barbershop feel. Now I just have to talk the guys into letting me practice on their hair. My first victim was Matthew. What a trooper. *giggles*
