Who inspires you to be the person you are today?

Christa is true, Elisha is joyful, Jessica is wise, Megan is kind, Amanda is brave, Jeff is everything, My Parents are loving, and my sister and brothers: Jeremy is brilliant, Jason is proud, Roxanne is patient, and Kim is adventurous.

"...these people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go.  And as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows.  Because the truth is, it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned.  But all that has receded into fond memory now. 
How does it happen?  Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good?  Maybe it's because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something.  That we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all. A time in our lives that we will never forget..."

I don't know where this quote is from but I wrote it in an old journal a million years ago and it's stuck with me ever since.  I think it's beautiful, and very true.

Show us the book you're reading right now.

I think it's probably because the release of Breaking Dawn is just around the corner but I'm totally in a vampire mood right now.  This weekend I spent most of my time outside in the sun reading and relaxing.  So I read:

Betrayed (House of Night, Book 2)

Chosen (House of Night, Book 3)

Evernight

I haven't finished Evernight yet, but I did really enjoy the House of Night series.  Good, delicious, vampire fun.

What is the biggest lie you've told?
Submitted by lazywong.

Ever? or Today? I lie a lot!

Today it would have to be... Me to Erin "Yeah, I'll be right over" ... that was about 45 mins ago. I'm so bad with time.

Ever??? that's trickier...Probably telling my high school sweetheart, the last few months we were together, that I loved him cause I didn't any more. That was wrong of me, but I was a teenager and affraid of being alone.... it was still not fair. Sorry Terry.

"you zoom zoom zoom too?"

Getting my teeth ZOOMed today!!! YAY!!

also, I wish audiobooks weren't so spendy. someone get to work on fixing that problem. thank you.

                       not me, but it makes me happy to know in about 5 minutes i'll be doing that very thing.

My night at border's went something like this:

Crazy Lady: Can you help me... (backs up her motor-powered wheelchair) whoa, your perfume is really strong.

Me:... it is? (Note: I wear body splash from Bath and Body Works, and I sprayed it one time on my wrists this morning around 7:30am... it is now 9:30pm)

Crazy Lady: Well it doesn't smell bad, but I use to work in a "some kind" of factory and ever since then when I smell chemicals it triggers something in my brain that makes me have to have a bowel movement.

Me:.........................?????????????????? (WHAT! I do not want to clean up your bowel movement lady, stay the hell away from me!!!!!)

Crazy Lady: You should really consider not wearing any perfume at all, your basically spraying pesticides into your bloodstream. Would you spray yourself with Raid?

Me: No.

Crazy Lady: well. (hands motion to signal she just dropped some very important knowledge on me and I should be stunned and in awe by what she said. I wasn't.)

Me: Ok, Well their calling me over the radio (they weren't) but is there anything I can help you with really quick.

Crazy Lady: Where are the diet books?

So, this totally makes up for the craziness!

Older lady: Excuse me Miss, this is Annie (she said pointing to her child, who was probably around 3 or 4) and she would like to ask you a question.

Me: What can I do for you Annie?

Annie: Well, I um, was here last year and I asked a, ummmm, lady if she could email santa for me, because you guys know santa probably, so she could email santa and say that I really wanted a reindeer you had here, and when Christmas came I got the reindeer. 

Me: (huge smile, almost in tears at how cute this little girl was) that's so neat!

Annie: So I was wondering if you could, umm, email Santa tonight and let him know that I really want this purple sparkley pony, see this one? She's really pretty, and I wanted to know if you could, ummm, tell him for me that I wanted it.

Me: Well, Annie, you happen to be in luck because I was just going to email Santa to see how he was so I will be sure to mention to him that you would really love that pony and want it really really bad. I promise.

Annie: Really?(totally amazed that i could do that for her) thank you(the thank you was said in the sweetest shy little kid voice ever!)

...That was the cutest kid I have ever met in my life!!!!

Song 10: Distant Dreamer

Although you think I cope
My head is filled with hope
Of some place other than here
Although you think I smile
Inside and all the while
I'm wondering about my destiny
I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer
A distant dreamer
Dreaming far away
From today
Even when you see me frown
My heart won't let me down
Because I know there's better things to come, oh yeah
And when life gets tough
And I feel like .. enough
I hold on to a distant star
I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer
A distant dreamer
Dreaming far away
From today
I'm a dreamer
A distant dreamer
Dreaming far away
From today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
Ooh...
I'm a dreamer
A distant dreamer
Dreaming far away
From today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
Ooh...
I'm a dreamer
