Florida Panthers vs. Boston Bruins

hockey is a game i never paid much attention too. for whatever reason i grew up watching just about every other sport known to man except hockey. a part of it was probably the fact they fight (and if you know me at all you know i hate fights).
however, i have recently found a new 'love' for the sport.
my first experience was(to say the least) incredibly entertaining, fast moving, intense, and uber exciting!
first of all, the players care about the game more than any other sport i have ever witnessed.
fact: in basketball, members of the nba were asked to play in the olympics they simply laughed at the mere thought. (they wouldnt be getting paid, duh).
also fact: hockey players JUMP at the 'opportunity' to represent their country doing the one thing they love most. i think that says a lot in itself. also, instead of doing a celebration dance when they score, they look to find the closest member of the team so they can all hug and celebrate the point together. yes, they fight and that is never a good thing, but at least they do it on the ice with their hands instead of talking a bunch of trash & blurting out every weapon they own & how much money they have (thug life? i think not.).
everything about the game was so much fun. i went with good people and our seats were AMAZING!! we were second row from the ice, so SICK!
a
&&& the Bruins won!!!! <3

when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible

today marked one year for the love and i. of course, celebration was in order. we spent the afternoon eating LOVELY brunch at the sundy house. it is a unique restaurant/hotel/garden. we were surrounded by trees and plants (literally feels like you are in the middle of an enchanted forest) as we enjoyed a wide array of the most delicious food. it was an all you can eat buffet. i had the best eggs florentine i have ever tasted, brightly colored berries, a crepe covered in fantastic walnut banana syrup, perfectly ripe pineapple, and of course all you can drink mimosas. a m a z i n g. the rest of the day was gloomy which we spent laying around sharing our favorite memories of the past year that FLEW by!
i enjoyed today.

De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you

ever since i can remember i have doodled.
it's an automatic happening from my brain to papel.
any piece sitting in front of me for a minimum of 5 minutes is doomed.
why not? it's a great escape from mathematics to name a single excellent example.
a daydream into another dimension...

feeling cheery

I am standing in the Kitchen cooking dinner & listening to Norah Jones. Suddenly I am in the mood to decorate. I just dawned on me that I have a 4ft. tall tree that I have yet to set up this year. I hope it is still in tact, I will have to jump in the shed tomorrow and hope for the best. Usually I would have sprung to the occasion at the immediate end of Halloween. Time has just passed by so quickly this year I don't know where it has gone. I love the holidays. <3 Nothing like a little Norah and Joni to get you in the spirit... colder weather would also help. ;P The excitement I have now upon remembering that I have a tree to decorate is outrageous. Can't wait.


This year I am staying in good ole Delray for Thanksgiving. The love and I are making our own semi-traditional meal. I am sure the day will be filled with football, love and food! I LOVE that he is a cook and can make any simple meal THAT much more amazing!! I am beyond myself when I think about it.

is the juice worth the squeeze?

there comes a time (quite a few times actually) where you may find yourself asking is it worth it? is what i am doing now worth the stress, pressure, experience or whatever else you may be encountering. right now i am at one of those crossroads. i don't think it is worth it. i am working a job, which i started two years ago, and have loved every second of it until recently. now, i am only working friday and saturday(the busiest days) because i am in school the rest of the week. i am hardly making enough money to pay my bills and get by. i hate that feeling. yes, it is amazing that i have the chance to work just two days a week so that my school schedule isn't jeopardized, but i think something needs to happen. one of two things, a.) i look for another job in another salon that would possibly work with my schedule b.) work somewhere else that will def. fit my agenda and pay a decent amount. it is sad that i feel this way. i am totally passionate about the company i work for and everything it stands for. but the bottom line is, i can't live like this any more.


so i find myself asking, is the juice worth the squeeze?

the times they are a changin
