A Conversation about Bret Mich*aels

(Picture from here)

So I have to set my relationship (well, I mean he doesn’t know I’m alive or anything) must have started back in high school. No, I wasn’t in high school in the 80’s. In fact, I didn’t start kindergarten until 1990. However, I used the ever popular Poison song “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” as part of a huge junior English project. I get that song stuck in my head any time I think about that project.

I digress. Anywho, I haven’t thought much about Bret until recently because my husband and I thoroughly enjoy The Celebrity Apprentice. (Side note: I totally disagree with Rod Blag*ojevich and don’t really love him, but he was super entertaining on this show!) I have actually grown to like Bret a lot on the show, and his recent illness has caught my attention.

It just seems so weird to watch him on Sunday and see him seem so full of life, and then just BOOM! His life is forever changed. It scares me to think how instantly life can be gone or greatly affected. It truly is a precious gift from God. I do hope he has a full recovery, if for nothing else than his two young daughters.

I have to admit, I never thought I would be doing a blog post on Bret, but ya never know I guess. Life is short whether you live ‘till the ripe old age of 104 or it is tragically cut short much sooner. I guess the moral of the story is: love the Lord with you whole being and love your neighbor – all else doesn’t really matter.

I totally agree!!! I have watched Bret on Rock of Love and though I didn't think I really was a BIG fan of his, but I too like him on Celebrity Apprentice. Any who, I was so shocked when I heard about his medical issues! Have a good rest of the week!

It is so sad what is happening to him...I take care of people like him almost every day and it is sad to see how quickly, and dramatically a persons life can change. It certainly makes you think about your own life.

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is pretty close to j

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as a gift. Have I mentioned that we have
