The Crafty Secret

I don't know that this one is so much a secret. I guess it is since not many people know this about me. The more secret part is how much I'll probably never complete most of these.

I love crafts. I have a list of crafts that I would really love to do. So this secret is about what I want to do with my future... craft wise that is.

Button, Button, Who's got the button?

I mean crafts can be so freaking cute. They can be expressive and if you give them out, they show love. 

However not all of my crafts that I have in mind are as cute. 

Baby Mustaches!!

BWAH- HA- HA! I am doing this to my child! Now don't get mad at me, I don't plan on torturing my children, I just plan on taking a lot of embarrassing photos of them before they can argue. 

Baby Burrito

Like this picture! This will be my Christmas card for YEARS!!

Don't worry, I'll also  be a good crafty mama!

Mini Kitchen

I mean I know I can just go out and buy one of these, but this mini kitchen is just so darling! I would rather make one and know that it screams me than buy one.  Maybe my children won't see it the same way. 

I can also be crafty IN the kitchen! (Get it, It was a craft about a kitchen, now craft in it... get it?... okay, so it wasn't actually that funny.)

Not really shots so not really implicating!

Look how delicious and colorful this stuff is!! That is one thing I love about crafts... all crafts are colorful. They are so expressive of the individual! And with this food craft, I sure would be expressive (drunk joke.. oh how the mighty have fallen).

One thing I am crafty at is cross stitches. I can cross stitch if I have a pattern so all I need is something that is more expressive of me (less of the flowers and kitties and more something this century!) 

Its-A-Me! Mario!

I love video games!! My family loves video games! So making these crafts are definitely the first on my list, because I think that this sort of thing is what I will give my family for Christmas this year. 

I hope they like crafty me and my crafts as much as I like it.

Yup, that is sure me!

The Book Secret

I should say one of the book secrets.  Also, SPOILERS!


I LOVE Harry Potter.

These are my bibles

Like I fucking LOVE it

How I'm going to teach my child the alphabet

I love everything from the Hogwarts school song

Sing it to a funeral march like Fred and George!

And I love the houses

I don't know which I'd be in... I'm smart as balls, but maybe not smart enough for Ravenclaw...
I could be in Hufflepuff where they are good at finding things...

I love the art work

So beautiful

And I love JK herself

Such a beautiful, smart, interesting woman

I love poking fun at Harry Potter

This is the maddest I have ever been!!!!!

Sometimes the story line is ridiculous

Pretty much everyone's first reaction!

And lordy do I love their pickup lines

I would take this deal in a heartbeat

  

And the mama jokes are pretty okay too

Your mama so whack, the Lovegoods gossip about her

So this blog is dedicated to those who have lived and loved with Harry Potter

It was truly magical

To those who grew up with Daniel, Emma, and Rupert

Emma said it perfectly

For those who grew up on these books... who learned lessons from them

I found refuge in Harry Potter

To those who have cried over JK's words and our friends' deaths

It will never end

To those who believe in the magic

It will always be real

And especially those who will continue to come back year after year and share the magic with the future generations

Made me cry!

To all of those who are getting ready to say goodbye to Harry at the last movie premiere on the 15th...

wait for it.....

THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS! <3

To all of those out there who have enjoyed the books in any fashion, this blog is for you. I know how it feels, just remember, its not over and it will never be over. We will be nerding out over Harry Potter for years. Our grandchildren will read these books. Our great great grand children will grow up with Harry. We were just the lucky generation that got to experience Harry when he was brand new. But we won't be the last to be touched by the story and to grow with the story. 

PS. My brother is not one of these people. He is intolerant of my obsession.  

Not me and my brother, but might as well be.

Man, I love Harry Potter

The Secret Desire to be Fabulous

So Its no secret that most people want to be fabulous.

I mean who doesn't want to be fabulous? Everyone wants to be fabulous! 

So this secret is more about how I want to be fabulous... or more so, a bunch of amazing pictures and explanations of how I find them fabulous and how I wish to be like them (:  

Quite the departure from my complainy Nick blogs haha

So anyways! Let me just jump in!

People may define fabulous as makeup and shoes... which don't get me wrong, I find some styles of makeup and shoes very fabulous!

Look at these BAMFS!  

Most of the time, however, I try to define fabulous by the person, what they are doing, or ways that I wish I could be like them.

Gorgeous and laughing? Could she be any more pretty?

A lot of pictures that define fabulous for me are pictures of happy people. Not that fake happy, but real laughs and smiles!  What is with models now and how they always look pissed. I'd much rather see these faces in my magazines... I'd be much more likely to buy their junk.

I wish I could be like her

Sometimes I wish I could be like people based on how brave they are or circumstances they have that I don't.

Amazing dye job, my dear

I am well on my way to being a real adult and therefore have run out of time to get the crazy piercings and dye jobs. I rushed through my undergrad just to be faced with the reality that I never got a chance to explore my rebel fun side.

look how awesome she looks... you can just tell she is awesome

I want to be one of those girls that you walk by and just know that they are freaking amazing people. I want people to walk by me and wish they were that fabulous!

Not rebel-y but def fun

This woman looks amazing to me. amazing smile, amazing fashion, amazing tattoos. I would love to try to pull off this look, but I don't find that I'm cool enough... or maybe I am..

Maybe its not that I'm not cool.. I'm just not confident enough to TRY it.

look how fabulous this lady is... fearless and food!

I would love to stand around in my underwear eating cake that matches my hair... well maybe not my hair since it is just brown (blah!).  Don't get me wrong, brown can be amazing, but without proper sunlight exposure mine looks mousey rather than gorgeous.

BUT! My point is!  I wish I was more confident.

Work it ladies!

I want to love myself soooooo much that I just get naked in front of works of art

so beautiful and fun looking

I want to love my body so much that I take half naked photos of me ROCKING OUT! and not be ashamed to show people.. or not have to take it from an extreme angle or dim lighting...

Play time

I wish I was confident enough to play strip poker with my best friends and not feel embarrassed.

Another thing about the last photo is that sometimes when people do fun things, I wish I was fabulous like them. I wish I was fabulous enough to play strip poker randomly.

om nom nom

I love giraffes.. I wish I was fabulous like this girl feeding them!

Oh, you saucey ladies!

I am always fabulous enough for roller coasters, but there are times I wish I could be this fabulous in my future.

Beauty

I want to be a mom, a good mom. So I wish I was this fabulous.  (Remind me to make a mom post later!)

AMAZING!

Yet, I still want to be fabulous, and remain true to my nerdy self and raise my children to do the same. Also, Look at that woman! her and her daughter are so fabulous!!

Sometimes I wish I could be as fabulous as people, who, really, I am that fabulous

hot mess... like me!

I can be a mess, yet a beauty. Especially when I drink. I think its the only time I actually have swag.

So much fun

I am the type of person who will play on playground... I think I just wish I was this fabulous because how how happy she looks.. I am that happy looking when I'm playing, but mostly when I'm alone, I'm not that carefree (back to the confidence issue).

hahahahahhahaha

So I may not actually do this, but I REALLY wish I could. I love ball pits and when I have the money I for real plan to make a ball pit room in my home.

So as a finish, I guess we all are somewhat fabulous. Earlier I said that I wish that people would walk by me and find me fabulous, but I doubt if it is often as I find them. I find so many people fabulous for so many reasons. I wish I could be them because I'm jealous of them or because I find them amazing or just because they are them with their awesome smiles and gorgeous laughs.

So in closing, I want to say that you have no idea who thinks you're fabulous, so always live like you are fabulous.

Because I find you fabulous.

I also find these babies fabulous. Enjoy.

just bladin

Especially this baby

HOW FABULOUS!!!

Love you, chickies!

Crazy Love Secret

This may be crazy, but in fact I think it is very normal....

I watched the movie Keith tonight.

Its actually quite a good movie

So this movie has just reinforced into me that I want a crazy relationship. I think that is why I was so into Nick.

By different, I mean special to me

I don't want a normal courtship. I want someone who is a stoner or a hippie or is just the complete opposite of me. I want weird and outside of my comfort zone. I want new and exciting. I don't want "normal" I want crazy.  I want someone who pushes my buttons and makes me out of my mind angry, yet someone I can still love.

I can do this

Hollywood makes a killing on girls like me. Girls who know that they want someone complete opposite of them. I don't want the bad boy knowing I'm the good girl however, I'm more attracted to the slacker who is so chill that he helps me to deviate from my crazy uptight life.

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone

Now I'm not saying that I want to be the only one addicted to my other half. I need him to need me (otherwise I'll run away)

Yin and Yang

I've often talked about how broke I am and how I have flaws and scars and I need someone to accept them. I want to do the same for him. I want to accept his past and his journey just as fully as he has accepted mine

A good book will get me every time!

Both Bob Marley and the writers for Scrubs had it right. I don't need perfection and I don't need all that I think that I do. I will never find a man who meets my qualifications and standards, and yet still is my opposite and someone with whom I will immediately fall for. But I don't need all that...

Who would have thought a man named Bob would be this in touch with life?

I just need this. A crappy show and loving arms

All I need is him needing me and me needing him. That is how love works. Its as simple as all that. Love is needing (not just wanting) one another, and knowing that you are dependent upon them, and yet still giving your heart to them.

This is what I need... and I need him to need the same from me

So I say I want a lot and I need a lot. I want crazy and I want complete opposites. But really. I just want someone who will push me. Who won't accept anything but the best from me and who will help me to become the best I can be.

That said, I really NEED a man who loves cats

Cutest thing I've seen all night.... the cat, not the boy... ... ... maybe its a tie?

So maybe not 100% opposite from me (;
