Snail Mail. My favorite.

Let's write some letters:

Dear crappy-no-touch-screen phone, I dislike you. I miss my iPhone (4S) so very much. :( I might cry. Seriously.

Dear baby sister, please don't rush into another relationship. The last one was awful to you and I hate seeing anyone break your heart. You are beautiful, kind, and gracious. Be patient for one who is worthy of your heart!

Dear Hunger Games, I wish desperately that I could get you out of my head. So. leave. me. alone. I still love you, though. 

Dear boyfriend, thank you for being kind and patient with me. It means more than you know. Also, thank you for the new bed frame. Just remember that next time I will NOT be putting ANYTHING together. The photos on the instruction manuel makes it look easy. It lied.

Dear body image, please stop making me feel bad about myself. It isn't nice. This post helped, though.

Dear Michelle Williams, I watched 'My Week with Marilyn' yesterday afternoon. You are absolutely gorgeous and shine like the stars! PS. I found out that you are now dating Jason Segel. I wanted you to know that I am okay with that. I hope it works out for you! ;)

Dear coffee shops, I wish that you weren't so expensive. It breaks my heart that I can only go once or twice a week now. :/

Dear patients, please don't come into the pharmacy today and cause me problems. I know you want your drugs, but please realize it isn't my fault if you don't receive them. There is a good reason why.

Dear chapstick, I beg of you not to disappear on me again! I always seem to lose you & my lips just can't take that. 

Dear blogger friends, I am so glad I have you. There may not be many of you, but I'm more grateful than you could possibly know!

Until next time...
much love.

11 questions.

I thought it would be fun to answer a few questions:

1. What is one thing you can't leave the house without?
My iPhone. I honestly think this is for most people now a days.  Our phones are our lifelines. I have gone to work before and not had my phone ALL day. It was really strange. It was probably good for me, but still ... a part of me was missing!!

2. Tell me the best place you've ever visited or vacationed.
Oh my! The best place I have ever got to visit is when I took a week trip up to NYC back in '07. It was amazing. I am a small town girl, but I love the city. I really do. I'm not sure if I could ever live in a big city, but it has so much to offer! My favorite part was all the people. It was so diverese. I loved it! :)

3. You have to sing karaoke to save your life. What song do you choose?
Oh dear. :/ I think my life would be over. Seriously. I don't sing in front of people.

4. If you could change one thing in the past week, what would it be?
That I wouldn't allow my worry or stress to effect how I feel for days.

5. What have you been eating a lot of recently?
MEXICAN FOOD. ahhh! It's awful. Really. -- I try not to, but I can't help it!

6. If you were going to be famous for something, what would you want it to be?
I'm not sure I would want to be famous. I would honestly just like to help and encourage others. I want to know that when my life is over that I made a difference in others lives ... no matter how small.

7. What is your least favorite chore?
Ha! I would have to say laundry. I'm so lazy when it comes to that. It honestly isn't as difficult as I make it, but I just put it off until there are piles and piles stacked in my room. **this is why no one is allowed to look in my room. ;)

8. If you had to live one place the rest of you life, where would it be?
Probably in a cottage, on the edge of the sea, in Ireland or New Zealand or something! Yes, yes. That would be oh-so lovely.

9. What shows do you watch regularly?
Well, I am going to be real here, folks. I used to have so many shows I watched during college that I couldn't keep up. Now, not so much. I am addicted to New Girl. I need to be friends with Zooey Deschanel. Other than that, I TRY to keep up with Modern Family & The Office! I have recently been re-watching episodes of Prison Break and 24. :)

10. Do you have any big trips coming up? If so, what?
I don't have any trips "planned", but need to make a trip down to Dallas soon. I miss all my friends so much! Plus, at some point I need to visit my dad out in San Francisco + my family out in West Palm Beach! I love trips, so I'm hoping they all happen in the months to come. 
 
11. Who is your hero?
This was always a funny question for me. I'm not sure I really have one. Is that bad? I was never super close to my family growing up and the other side of my family lived so far away. I think I would have to say the people that have stuck with me. The ones who have seen me at my best and my worst, and still love me! I think many people have been my hero, in different ways, big or small.

Now, what about you?
Feel free to snatch these questions or make up your own. :)
Happy Monday!

*Thanks to Danielle for this neat idea.

colie

long day, folks.

 1.  a break from reading "the lucky one" (btw, i finished it -- so sad!) 2. four different angles of my room.

3. my lovely cup of cocoa - keeping me warm & making me oh-so-happy!

4. the last of fall (about a week ago) before winter stole it from us!

oh goodness, me.
it was a LONG day indeed.
i worked a 10 hour shift in the pharmacy today + i will be working all weekend and through monday.
i have to say that i am a very happy person.
i get along with almost everyone & i try to find the best in every situation/person.
BUT -- sometimes patients that come into the pharmacy DEFINITELY test my patience.
i honestly can not comprehend why there is such a need to be hateful to someone who is obviously being nice to you AND showing that they are doing ALL they can to help you.
& many times it is the same people.
they just come in in a bad mood -- as though they have the INTENT to be angry and cause a scene.
it frustrates me to no end ... and there are times i find myself walking away because if not (as i have in a few occasions) i can get a bit testy back.
that is not the type of person i want to be.
it is not always easy being the "bigger person" in a situation -- and that is for all areas of life, BUT in the end it shows our character to those around us. & i think even in the worst situations that our character is quite important.

& on the bright side there was much to be thankful for:
*great co-workers that make me laugh and are willing to listen and help each other
*nice customers that treat you like an equal human being
*having a car to drive home in -- and making it home safely
*my iphone (this is important to me)  -_*
*frosty the snowman & all those other christmas cartoons i grew up watching during the holidays
*a yummy dinner
*warm cup of cocoa (i've been drinking it almost every night!!)
*AND my internet is working after not having it for ONE WHOLE DAY! yes, yes ... tragic, i know! ;)

i hope you had a lovely friday.
& enjoy the weekend ahead!!

(ps. i plan to start a feature link every friday called: friday favorites. i want to share with you all the lovely blog posts i have enjoyed throughout the week + a few extra things that i adore! -- i hope you'll stop by & check it out!)
