Random Ramblings

Ok so this post is about nothing in particular other than the crazy rambling thoughts rolling around in my head!

1.  BUY THIS

like NOW!!!!!  It is the scent of heaven on earth!  YUMMY

2.  I hate when i set a reminder on my phone to do something and dont follow through!  Case in point.....last week I ran out of my fave MAC lipgloss and of course they dont sell MAC cosmetics in Wichita Falls which mean that I had to order it from Nordstroms.  Well I tracked my package yesterday and saw that it was to be delivered today.  So I set a reminder on my phone to leave the UPS guy a not to leave it in my secret hiding spot.  Well did I remember to put the note on the door?  NO!!!!  What happened?  they tried to deliver it today and of course I wasnt there so they will make one more attempt.  When?  tomorrow!!!! 

Dangit i want that lipgloss :(  *sorry i couldnt resist this pic

3.  LOVE THIS:

4.  I bought Daley her first pair of cowboy boots and I cant wait for her to get to wear them!


5.  Do your ears a favor.  Buy this:

ok so i know i have given you two things to buy but really she is awesome!!!!  I love all kinds of music but Adele is amazing!!!  I mean really if you need some new springtime tunes.....this would be my suggestion.

I am giddy today....it could be a combonation of the fact that I smell amazing thanks to D&G light blue, i have been listening to this amazing cd thanks to my friend Sean, the weather is perfect, i get to spend the weekend with family at a wedding for my gorgeous cousin.  I mean seriously?!?!?  Life Is Good!

What I Love About This Years American Idol

American Idol has always been on my top ten list of Reality TV Shows....but I have to admit I was a little skeptical as a viewer this season due to the fact that Simon was gone.  Call me crazy but I loved Simon!!!  I mean he could be brutal (dont get me wrong) AND aside from Donal Trump he has the worst hair of anyone on TV, but I loved that he had the confidence to say exactly what was on his mind and he didnt care who agreed with him. So when they announced that the new judges would be Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler I was like.....Eh?!?!  BUT I can honestly say that they bring something fresh to the show.  So lets get to it then: "The Top 10 Things I Love About This Years American Idol"

1.  JLo's fashion.....I mean really?!?!?  It is a relief to see someone who is dressed better than Ryan Seacrest!  I dont know who her stylist is but DANG she is fierce!!!!  She can pull off just about anything and even if it isnt something I wouldnt be caught dead in she finds a way to work it!

2.  StevenTyler.....he seems so genuine, kind and caring without losing his whole "I am a bad-ass-rocker status" LOVE HIM :)

3.  Casey Abrams he is crazy good.....My prediction?!?!?  He will win it all! MY FAVE :)

4.  Lauren Alaina...she is sixteen years old people!!!  She is so good and I kinda love that she has Steven Tyler wrapped around her little finger

5.  Paul McDonald....what a cutie pie!  He has a beautiful smile AND there is something about his voice that gets me going.  I also love the fact that he picked a Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Bryan Adams) song last night.  Most people have no clue who Ryan Adams is (btw he is married to Mandy Moore)....if you dont, do yourself a favor & look him up on youtube!!!  "Ryan Adams Come Pick Me Up" if you want the "clean family friendly version" click on the live performance from the Letterman show otherwise the cut from his Heartbreaker album is worth listening to.  You can thank me later! 

6.  The Diva a.k.a. Ashton Jones.....ok so she is def not a fave but she needs mentioning if nothing but for her hair.  Hey Ashton, Diana Ross called.....she wants her hair back!!!!

7.  Pia Toscano....she wasnt a fave of mine until last week.  She has crazy vocals and I think she will go far.  If not, she will not be short on offers in the entertainment business!!!  She is BEA-utiful!

8.  Thia Megia......again not a fave but she needs a spot on the hollywood walk of fame just for her name alone.  Say it a few times out loud....Thia Megia....just rolls of the tongue right?!?!?!

9.  James Durbin....um yeah another crazy good voice!!!  And talk about overcoming adversity!  When he was only 9 yrs old his father died of a drug overdose.  Soon after his fathers death he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and Asburger's.  Seriously?!?!?!  He has passion and a love for music and it shows in his performances.  I love him too!

10.  Scotty McCreery....17 years old with a voice that was made for country music and if you know me you know I love me some country music.  Seriously he could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing!

Did I mention that I love Steven Tyler?!?!?  I did?  Ok just making sure!

This Is My Life

Ok so as some of you already know I have had a lot of personal changes in my life over the last few months....my family dynamic has changed!!! Although my future is unknown (and therefore a little scary) I am looking forward to what life has to bring.  I havent posted in a long time because frankly I didnt know what the heck to write but I am back.  Before this blog was dedicated mostly to my daughter I have found over the course of this change in my life that I am more than a mom.  I am a woman, sister, daughter and friend (as well as a mom)  I will use this blog going forward to document MY life....which of course will include lots of pics of that precious little girl who keeps me on my toes and makes me smile like no one else can.  There is nothing like the division of family to truly help you understand what is really important in life as well as help you find inner strength (that I honestly didnt know I had). 
So what have I been up to???  Well I am now a single mom to a sweet 2.5 year old little girl.  We have carved out a little life for ourselves and though it has its tough moments I can honestly say I am happier than I have been in a long time.  I try to make a concious effort EVERYDAY to make the most of what I have and not to look back.  I have no regrets about my decision and feel that I made the best choice with what I had.  I look forward to being a great role model to my daughter and to teach her the value of loving God, having a kind heart and standing up for what you know is right.  I want to teach her that we all make mistakes but as long as we use those mistakes as lessons it is ok to fall every now and again.  I have no idea what tomorrow holds but I know with the continued support of my friends and family anything is possible.  I look to my faith and relationship with the Lord to guide me in the right direction and I know through HIM all things are possible. 

So expect lots of posts in the future!!!!
Here are a few cutie pie since I know that is what you all want to see
