the Olympics!...GO USA!!!

so I've been watchin' sum of the Olympics. yesterday was a GREAT day for the USA. it was a pleasant evening to watch last night although I knew 2 of the Gold Medals won b4 seeing it on TV. my only complaint in watching the Olympics is it's a delayed broadcast. I'd rather watch it LIVE!!! makes for more intensity and excitement. but b4 I knew the Halfpipe was a delayed broadcast, I really got into watching it. for years I heard about the hype surrounding Shaun White (pictured above), but had yet to see him in action. OMG!! after his first run, I immediately saw why he is the BEST!!!! God not only did he nail his event, he topped it off with a victory run which was even better. he was soooooo HIGH above that halfpipe while doing his stunts, I swear he was going to fall, but he didn't. these snowboarders who do this halfpipe are tremendous athletes for all the twists and turns and speed and height for which they compel themselves to do. I was totally amazed. so now Shaun White is my new hero knot just because of his awesome talent but I absolutely LOVE his RED hair. red long hair. so I'm using his visuals to get my hair grown that long.....lol...one month down, another 11 months to go I presume that will be how long it takes me to get it there. wish me luck. and enjoy the Olympics. it's been nice to revisit them this year although I usually forgo the Winter Olympics. this time it's very refreshing for me. it's a blast! I'm lovin' it.....

happy valentine's day!

toes

got my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand..Life is Good today!

this is the chorus line for the song TOES by Zac Brown Band in the country music charts. I absolutely LOVE this song & chorus. it's my daily theme song now. listen to it each morn to set me in the right mood for the day. i downloaded it to my phone and listen to it often especially at work where things can be chaotic and irritating for me. great way for me to quickly chill in the moment......i've been off work for 2 days now. peace, quiet, serenity and tranquility. it's been so nice i don't want to go anywhere. if i could only stay in that bliss. but alas back 2 work i go today. so i put my music on and dance my heart away....
...a little late, but....WHO DAT SAINTS!!! congrats to New Orleans and the Saints! unbelievable!

halfway there...

well I'm halfway finished with my class. it's all down hill from here, but it's knot done yet. I've been draggin' ass gettin' homework done lately. crashed and burned out. so I gave me another break tonight at the movies. but the mood of the movie was depressing. knot too heavy, but I'd rather had seen something more light hearted. Where the Wild Things Are..it had great 'creatures' but it's knot a kid's movie. thank goodness it was at the dollar movie. I thought it'd be a little fun, but there was very little fun in it. anyways, knot that I recommend it, I'll let you decide for yourself.....anyways, knot posting much lately for I'm having a boring life=class and work. can't even get out to take photos-UGH!! well at least I have a Super Bowl party to attend tomorrow after church. so a little r + r. I look forward to it. hope you have a great Sunday, whatever you're doing...

It's Complicated

I woke this morn to more snow. yesterday it had rained only to begin snowing as I came out of the theater last night. there's more than what this photo shows and it's beautiful all over again....
anyways, this entry is about the movie It's Complicated. saw it last night and it was hilarious. to borrow a line from my friend who suggested the movie, 'I never laughed so much and hard' in a long time. so if you need sum laughs, go see this movie. it's cute but just too funny. it was just what I needed after the recent days. I woke this morn still laughing with a light heart. hope it carries me through the day. I have an appointment with our minister this afternoon about sum serious stuff and I hope my light heart will make it easier. It's all Good....
...so, the Super Bowl is only 3 days away. who are you cheering for? I'm thinking the Colts will win, but I will root for the Saints to bring an upset. that would be the icing on the cake for the city of New Orleans. regardless of who wins, the Saints have done sum amazing things for the city. may the best team win! I'll be headed to new friends' house for the game. apparently they invited about 30 guests. I hope they have a big house. don't think I've ever been to such a Big Super Bowl party as this. should be loads of fun, which I need lots of nowadays. anyhow, here's hoping everyone has a Super Weekend!

celtic prayer

This morning, as I kinlde the fire upon my hearth, I
pray that the flame of God's love may burn in my
heart, and the hearts of all I meet today.

I pray that no envy and malice, no hatred or fear, may
smother the flame.

I pray that indiferene and apathy, contempt and pride,
may not pour like cold water on the fire.
Instead, may the spark of god's love light the love in
my heart, that it may burn brightly through the day.

Ad may I warm thhose that are lonely, whose hearts are
cold and lifeless, so that all may know the omfort of
God's love.

-Traditional Celtic prayer
