1 of 365

I have joined the 365 Days of Grace team!!
I originally saw it on missZoot.com, she is my blog idol by the way!! I then followed the graphic above just to learn the jest of things! It is a very easy concept. Once a day (cross your fingers!!!) for 365 days I am going to list at least 5 small simple joys of life.

1. Nice fitting jeans, perferably fresh from the dryer!
2. Shoes, I have always had a shoe fettish but as I get older, it gets more intense!
3. Private Practice, on ABC. I watched a couple episodes online and I am offically addicted!
4. P!nk, she is a woman that I believe every woman should idolize in some way shape or form. She embraces this mess called life, and knows that really it only makes her stronger.
5. Being a woman in a strong woman based family. And, I love our men for that as well!!

Lyrics....I swear they have been stolen

Drinking wine and thinking bliss, is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head are skidding up and down again
Up and down and round again, down and up and round again.

Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all.
Just to end up right back here on the floor.
To end up right back here on the floor.

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell.
But I'm not scared at all...hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball.

Sometimes you think everything is wrapped inside a diamond ring.
Love just needs a witness and a little forgivness
And a halo of patience and a less sporadic pace
and I'm learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes.

Oh I've felt that fire and I've been burned
But I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned
I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned.

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell.
But I'm not scared at all...hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball.

Irony, irony, this hate and love, hate and love
What it does to me, what it's done to me.
What is done...done

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Broken mirrors and a black cats cold stare,
Walk under ladders on my way to hell, I'll meet you there.

But I'm not scared at all, hmm...I'm not scared at all.
Bout the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball.

L~O~V~E or Should I say V~E~G~A~S

I am just going to start saying "I Vegas You!!" Actually if I ever say that to you, you should come to tears, knowing that really there is no higher emotion I could ever have for you!! :)

Jana is completely right, Las Vegas is my Mecca and of course I owe it all to her. She has given me the best gift anyone could have given me, (well besides God, for giving me Jaden, and my mother for giving me life) ok so the third best gift anyone could have ever given me!

Someday Vegas, it runs through my head on a daily basis, it's what gets me through the day. The thought that I share this world with a place called Las Vegas, Nevada. Home of the Cirque Du Soleil, the only train depot located inside a hotel/casino, Hart & Huntington Tattoo Shop, the TI Sirens, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, and of course all the gorgeous, breath taking, luxurious hotels & casinos, that when put all together, bring the entire world to your feet! My step-dad once asked me what it was about Vegas that I loved so much. Without even thinking about it, my answer was because Vegas doesn’t care who you are. Anyone and everyone can go there, do what they want, be who they want, and Vegas is the only place where they just mesh with everyone else. People are there for a specific reason, to have a good time, for work, to become a star, TO GET MARRIED!, or whatever, they’re not there to look at or even judge the person that is standing so close to them in the busy streets that you could hold their hand.

I love the sites, the sounds, the smells, the history! Many believe it was originally founded by the Mob but really, the idea of Las Vegas was started long before then. If anyone needs to be thanked for this amazing gift called Las Vegas (translation=”The meadows”) it would be 1905 Montana Senator Williams Andrew Clark, he was the owner of the San Pedro, Las Angeles, & Salt Lake Railroads. He auctioned off 1200 lots in one day which became “Glitter Gulch”, which is now known as Freemont Street! The original Las Vegas strip! Although the casinos and hotels on Freemont are ancient and don’t hold a candle to “The Strip”, it is the home of The Freemont Street Experience, a place that is often seen in the television show CSI! Another man I should mention before I end this blog that has now turned into a written report on Vegas, is Phil Tobin. He was a North Nevada rancher that did not believe in gambling or had ever been to Las Vegas, but was the one that wrote up the bill to legalize gambling in Nevada. He did it for the public schools. 43% of Nevada’s general funding is from gambling, 34% of that goes to public schools!

I could keep going! This was fun to me! Sorry if it bored you! This isn’t really the route I was going when I started this… Originally it was just a comment on my sister’s blog, then it turned into a blog of my own and now a quick history lesson on Las Vegas! But, I think I may have gotten my point across, or Jana’s anyway! I love Vegas. I joke about moving there but really I know I probably never will. Everyone tells me I wouldn’t love it as much if I did, I think they are wrong, really I don’t believe there is anything that could make me feel any different for that place!

Las Vegas, I Vegas you!!!!

Geez... I have been... Jana!

I have been blogging, I swear I have.



I really don't sit at my "home" computer very often, and when I do it's usually to pay bills or what not, you know the grown up things to do at a comp!!!



Although, I work at home, my work computer is just that! My "work" computer! I know, how lame huh!! Why they think they have the right to put security settings on a piece of equipment they own and expect it to be used for only what they want!! I am telling you, what is this world coming to!? Now all you identity theft and hacker people out there, see what you have done. It's like one kid in the family getting grounded and no one being able to do anything...!!!



So, you are asking yourself, how have I been blogging then and/or where have they been going!? I am getting there, settle down! I have been typing up blogs on my work e-mail then sending them to my personal e-mail but then have been too lazy to transfer them from my personal e-mail to here! Even though this is quit embarassing, I wanted to keep you in the loop because it may be that I will be posting multiple blogs on any given day!! Sorry for any inconvience this may cause but don't blame me! Blame all those people that have misused their privledges to the point to where no one gets to have any fun!!



Blog on bloggers!! Blog on!!!

Second Glance!!!

I just got done reading Second Glance by Jodi Picoult. She is also the author of My sisters keeper, picture perfect, and perfect match. Just to name a few. I believe Second Glance was her 21st published novel. Anyway, It was great. I am one of those people that just has to really get into a book in order to keep reading it. I have actually gotten half way through certain books and decided it just wasn’t doing anything for me and I never picked it up again. It took me only two weeks to read this one. Which for some may be a long time but for me that is record timing. Even if I like a book it still takes me a while to get through it because it doesn’t call my name when I could be reading but chose to be watching television or something along the lines of being lazy!! This novel did just that! Maybe it called my name because of the paranormal mishaps that happened from within!! LOL! It does have a paranormal base to it but not one of the cheesy kind. This is more like the in a dream, déjà vu, goose bumps on the back of your neck type of paranormal! Anyway, it was really good and I would suggest it to just about anybody! So, tis the season for wrapping up in your most comfortable, (most likely falling apart), jammies, and your biggest, softest blanket and getting into a good book! Happy reading!
