Fun with Quotes!

Fun with Quotes!

I've always enjoyed looking up quotes and sharing them with friends and family. Quotes that are funny, ones that lift the spirits, and ones that tug at your heart strings.

That being said I want to share some Dr. Seuss quotes, I think he has some wonderful ones out there. How fun is it to share!

“A person's a person, no matter how small.”

This quote reminds me of my nieces and my nephew. Sometimes people forget about the little ones and they go off not being heard.

"I'm afraid sometimes
you'll play lonely games too,
games you can't win
because you'll play against you"


"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells."

This reminds me of when I was younger and the silly things we did.

"I know up on the top you are seeing great sights, but down at the bottom we, too, should have rights."

This can be said for many different things, but for me it's about my work life.

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

What a lovely quote, just to say, to be yourself.


"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

This is My FAVORITE quote from Dr. Seuss!!

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

This one is to my true and loyal friends.

“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

Live life to it's fullest

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

This is a good quote for myself, just to motivate myself to keep working hard on my college degree.

"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

A bright and cheerful way to end the day!

It's amazing how a quote can relate to you and make you really think about what you have in life and what's to come. I suggest you look up quotes to find ones that touch your soul.



Happy Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I wanted to express what I am thankful for.

With all the ugly in the world, why not take the time to sit down and write what you are thankful for too?! It won't be the hardest thing you do today, I promise! :-p

I am thankful for:

• My Family- When I'm in the need to talk to someone or if I need help, my family is who I call. It's nice to have that love and support.
• My Friends- Although we do not see each other as often as we use to, you will always be in my heart. I have great memories with my friends who showed me laughter and loyalty.
• My Loving Husband- You are my rock to lean on, my shoulder to cry on, and the reason I'm the luckiest woman alive!!
• My health- I do moan about the little things like a cough, stomach ache and head aches, but I am thankful for my good health.
• My Co-Workers- You are the reason (most of the time) :) I am a sane person at work. You see if I'm sad or upset, and you all make me feel better about myself and what I do.
• My haters- surprised? Don't be, if it wasn't for the people out there who are not good hearted, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now. When you thought you were making me weak, you were really making me stronger. Thank you for that.

There are a lot of things to be thankful for. And you should write them down and see how lucky you are too.

Fantastic!!

I have to say that I had a FANTASTIC weekend this past weekend, and let me tell you why!

On Friday night I went to Ameristar for my brother in laws Birthday party. We were going to eat at Amerisports for dinner and while me and my wonderful hubby waited for everyone to show up we drank some of their wonderful beer! My personal favorite was the Hard Ball Dark. YUM!!

I have to say that their food was pretty good too. :)

Brew Pub

Saturday we went to our favorite hole in the wall, that was introduced by my Cousin. It's a pizza place located in Gladstone that also serves nice cold beers. Myself and my husband get our favorite pizza and enjoyed the fine company at Judge's Pizza.

So, after a very exciting Saturday full of shopping and eating pizza, we come to Sunday where I get the chance to shop at Charming Charlie before they open!!! Two hours to be exact, and on top of that me and my co-workers got 20% off. Pretty amazing I do believe. Now, ladies I've never been to this store before and didn't think much of it..... Man was I wrong! It's Heaven for those who love assesories of all kinds. Not only for adults, but for kids too! In order for you to get to shop two hours before the store opens you need to have 20 or more people show up and then you get your 20% off. If you can't get 20, but can get 10 or more you can shop during store hours and STILL get 20% off. It's a girls dream I tell ya! If you haven't checked it out, you need to!!

After I was done shopping my savings away it was time for me to celebrate my Birthday at P.F. Changs. My thoughtful husband reserved a nice little table for me and my family to eat at. It was very nice and private. I enjoyed the lettuce wraps, hot and spicy soup, and the honey chicken bowl. Love it! I do find this place to be a nice restaurant for just you and your honey or for a large group.

I overall had the most wonderful weekend!
 Soon I'll have pictures of our wedding up, but until then Goodnight, and just in case I don't see you; Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening!

Great Find!!

I found a small treasure today! :)

I went to a thrift store that I've been waiting to go to for awhile and struck gold. I love going to thrift stores, I have found some great skirts, dresses, belts, and purses there before. But this my friends put a great big smile on my face!

This is going to be turned into someones gift!

I'm going to put in a blanket, plates, cups, silverware, etc. for a lovely picnic basket.

Anyone who says they can never find anything in a thrift store, isn't looking hard enough!

Cost of this basket~$4.98

Finished product will be posted before given! :-D

Getting Excited!!

I'm getting very excited, and I'm sure you want to know why! November 6, 2010 I'm going to be getting married to a wonderful man.

Yeah, I know every woman says this about the man they are about to marry (or at least the should). But he truly is a wonderful person.

I've had some trouble times in my past and he never once judged me for it or even tried to unveil what happened to me. He let me tell him in my own time and way without me feeling like a complete nobody. 

He's understanding, loving, and supportive. I'm not sure what more a girl can ask for! So this post is for you Jim. I love you more than anything and couldn't imagine a life without you and your loving ways. Your my rock to lean on, my shoulder to cry on, and your love that keeps me going. Although we might fight and bicker, you are the one I want to be with the rest of my life and to start a family with.

Love you with all my heart!

I'm Creative Too!

 I've always have considered myself to be a creative person.

What items do I make, you ask?

 Well, I make jewelry; necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

I also make hair pretties

I have made items for my sister's baby shower; a diaper cake, onesies cupcakes, and a diaper bassinet. And  with the cost of wedding invitations I made my own! Which made me want to make greeting cards. I've even turned my creativeness to modeling. And I know I'm leaving a few  things out.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm forever wanting to do something new!

So, my next project is going to be painting.

I love art and I love making thing to express myself!



Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have something new and fun posted about my NEW hobby! <3
