I went to something similar to this last year and it was a blast! and it's a great organization! I even won a $500 gift certificate for facial treatments. Still deciding what to do...

Trend Report: Green!

As I read my latest Neiman Marcus trend report email, I fell in love with several of the items and even more so the fact that green is a trend for fall. I love green, I have it in my home furnishings and because I am a red head, don't look half bad in the color. These five items particularly caught my eye as they aren't the bright green that you would think of, but a more subtle way to wear the hottest color and make it more of a neutral. I also love the trend of camouflage, which seems to be prevalent as well in shoes, wallets, clothing.

So it's time to start thinking about fall (even though it's the heat of the summer and we are still buying summer wear) and start finding your perfect item so you aren't green with envy when everyone else is in the newest color trend! l

Post what you find for your go to green item if you get something, I would love to see your green items!

My Rebirthday #?

something just dawned on me. when I have always had my surgeries it has been in the summer, more b/c I was out of school, as was mom and so it made it a natural selection for timing. I was born in the summer. interesting. many of my surgeries have been on or around my birthday. many of my birthday parties, which my sweet mother has held, some even being surprises, have also been good luck, we love you as you go into surgery parties.

with each surgery I have been given a sort of "new life" and it just dawned on me that it is a rebirth each time. a REBIRTHDAY! I am looking forward to my rebirth this year.

take care of your heart,

POP UP VIDEO! pop.- Tuesday, July 13th

OMG!! I just sat down at my desk, have had VH1 Classsic on all night... and Pop Up Video just came on!!

It's hilarious. I used to watch it when Brandon and I first started dating.

Tonight R.E.M's Everybody Hurts (which by the way was a fave in highschool) is being "popped" It's such a serious song and the pop ups are so funny and interseting.

If you haven't seen it, they put little conversation bubbles up through the video and tell you fun little tidbits about the actors in the video, the singers, how the video was created, etc. an example is one of the guys in the video was cast when he tried to sell roses to the casting director. Funny!

Bonus: some of the information is quite educational!

I do believe that you heard it on Superficial first... so interesting! http://www.pinkmemo.com/national/szish-dish/essie-turqoise-caicos

Revenge of the Nerds

oh how I'd love to update Revenge of the Nerds if hasn't already been done. What each of the characters grew up to be? Hysterical. And I never thought so until today, it's on right now. fantastic! Has it been done arleady? if so, let me know I want to see it. They just mentioned we'll see you in 20 years after putting in their application.

The Nerds that got picked on would totally end up being the weatlhiest men with the hottest women and the bastards that were trying to keep them out that were the cool guys will be fat and balding with a millions of kids in stead of $$$ whose miserable for whatever reason.....

rhythm, you have to get into rhythm with your partner. For instance, i learn by watching and observing him. his mannerisms, his quirks, his habits, that way I can cope with what is second nature to him, but not to me.

In our home life, he does the laundry, I fold it, he does the dishes, I put them away, I organize, he cleans. It is a happy rhythm we are in, but we have to continue working in that manner.

I think we have to observe and watch our partner to learn, rather than expecting them to adopt to the way we want it done. It takes away our individuality, our past experiences. It denies us what is rightfully ours, ourselves. We have to nourish our own souls to understand the souls of others.

Isn't Peace truly what we want? in order for it to be in the world on a global level, doesn't it start behind your "four walls".

peace and love, XoM

This is my screen shot for last night. You can see the many things that go on in my brain during the day. I think it is interesting to know how people think and this is one way to see what and where their intresets level lies. Who they are as a person and what they think about.

I was watching some trash news station about the break up of what's his name the pilot from Dallas, (so glad he's ours- proud moments) oh yea, Jake Pavelka, and about to leave to go to Target wait for that post! Then meet my mother to eat at Olive Garden , will be on the youplusdallas.com restaurant blog soon. Then to the airport to pick up my step- sister and step- dad from DFW.

Back to the task at hand... my question to you is what does your screen shot look like on any given day? Take it and send to me and tell me what you were doing at that time.
