"LIFE IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED, NOT ENDURED"
Gordon B. Hinckley

Heard this quote at a church meeting the other night and it has been in the forefront of my mind ever since. That kid definitely enjoys life, think I'll take a cue.

wish i may wish i might

Things I am wishing/wanting for:

-A potty-training fairy to come do the dirty work for me. Haven't given potty-training a solid try yet because a.) Sawyer totally doesn't get it yet, and b.) I totally don't want to clean any business out the briefcase, if ya know whatimsayin'.

-A pool in my backyard so I can be tan and lazy and cool all summer long.

-Peace on earth.

-Teleportation to be invented already. Cmon' Star Trek geeks, figure that out.

-Longer hair. I had a dream that it was long. Like, Kardashian Sisters long.

-Justin Bieber to be my little brother and/or nephew. Have you seen Never Say Never? I love him (not like that, ew) and I don't care who knows it.

-A cure for grief, cause it is a killer.

-To have a job making soundtracks to people's lives. That could be a real job, right?

mothers day is every day

me and Mom, July 2006

"But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin."
— Mitch Albom, For One More Day
