japan

my heart goes out to japan. i just can't even believe the devastation.

take a look at this video that shows the before and after images of japan.

i'll be praying about this for a long time.

M.I.A

i'm not actually missing in action. more like missing in injury.

i pulled some muscles in my back and other than trying really hard not to cry while at work all day, i basically go home and post up on my deliciously comfy couch and get real friendly with my heating pad.

sorry. it's true.

so here are some things going on in the world of the web that you might like...

i love tim gunn and who would have known he struggled with suicide as a teen?

i'd love to lose 20 pounds but i don't want to be lost in the desert to do it.

way to go rangers!

the before and after is my fav section on design*sponge.

i'm going here this weekend.

and in case you didn't know what the heck is going on with all those provocative statuses on facebook!

hope you're enjoying your hump day! only two more days until the glorious weekend...yes.

it's nice to know...

well i'm not sure why this is nice to know but i found it hilarious and i'm glad i know!

read this story and i'm sure you won't be disappointed regardless of whether you like the guy or not!

best bf ever?

this is hilarious. but trav, if you ever did this...i'd kill you!

it's nice to know...

that older generations still know how to have a good time!

i love this!

my dog eats people food.

get over it!

i totally feed my dog people food and i've recently learned that it's ok. according to this story there are several foods that dogs can eat and they are actually good for them.

now dallas doesn't get a whole lot of people food but every now and then he gets a little scrap or treat.

his favs include cantaloupe, lettuce and marshmallows. i can't say that marshmallows are good for him but he goes crazy for them so i indulge him once in a while!

so moral of the story? feed your dogs!

sick

i just threw up in my mouth a little.

she's 50. he's 21. they're getting married. it's just not right. plus it's linda hogan.

i guess i should just say you can't help who you love. oh wait, i just threw up again!

good samaritans.

this story makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside.

good to know that there are still so many good people in the world!

it's nice to know...

that even celebs are getting caught!

however...

i'm a little terrified of driving and having my phone with me at all now.

minute to win it.

could you do this?

i think not!

what a way to start your life together, $500,000 richer!

how much is too much?

i know people love sports and watching a professional athlete doing what they do out on the field, court, or course is pretty cool but do they really need all that money they make?

read this story on the top fifty sport salaries and you might just cry. does tiger really need 90 million dollars?

i think not.

how about we spread some of that wealth to our teachers, emts, police officers, and nannies?!

hello again!

sorry i've been m.i.a lately.

as it turns out july has been a crazy month thus far and is only expected to get busier.

so here's what i'm currently thinking about.

fav things right about now:

she & him has been on repeat in the car, on the ipod and pretty much any place else i can listen. love them!

i'm pretty much going to buy everything from here from now on.

love that she's in jail. don't really know why but it makes me happy that she's doing her time.

i might be obsessed with the palin clan. i can't help but be intrigued with bristol and levi getting engaged and sarah not being ok with it. so taboo now a days to marry your baby's daddy!

have you seen covert affairs on usa yet? it's my new fav show for summer. love it and the cia {a little!}.

other things i'm currently loving:

buying a sewing machine this weekend.

i get to see my momma in less than two weeks.

louisville bats baseball game.

visiting with grandpa doug and glenda.

august is coming! which means mom's birthday, killian's birthday, lake weekend with trav, highway 127 yard sale, olivia starts preschool, and sarah's bachelorette party. just to name a few things!

things i'm currently hating:

the rain, rain, rain.

immaturity.

not getting more than five hours of sleep every night.

my love of mexican food {it's really not helping with the ww}.

things that don't work or break on you.

poopy diapers.

i'll leave you on a positive note...

sisterly love is the best!

backyard or water park?

don't you just wish this was your backyard?

well it isn't.

it's celine dion's though, so if you happen to be friends with her, let me know!

i could spend all day in that lazy river.

enough already.

so i didn't really want to give the BP issue much thought on this here blog.

i know it's awful but i'm just so tired of hearing about it and just want them to take care of it.

but, now it's gotten to my home state. and well, you just don't mess with texas!

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants! Who died in an oil spill because of BP? SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!"

saw this quote on sherry's facebook status last week and loved it!

so to BP from little 'ol me...please fix this already. please and thanks!

the queen is coming. the queen is coming!

to new york city that is.

she is in town to speak to the U.N. and then to visit ground zero and pay respect to families of the fallen british citizens in the 9/11 attacks.

oh how i wish i lived in nyc today.

the last time the queen was in nyc was 1976. how classy she is!

article found here.

quote of the week...

this weeks quote is actually the senate bill 1070. i totally support arizona and wish them nothing but good luck in going forward!

well in truth it is far too long to put on here but go here and you can read all about it.

it's nice to know...

that it really is a small world after all!

this is the cutest love story i've heard in a while!

quote of the week...

{quote of the week comes at you early since i'll be in louisville the next couple of days for jennifer's wedding festivities!}

"I just cost that kid a perfect game," he said. "I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay. "It was the biggest call of my career."

i like that good 'ole jim here could admit that he made a mistake. own it. apologize for it. and move on from it. things happen but we're all just humans.
