Internet, Early Birds and Mr. Franklin


Hi everyone. How are you feeling today? Scale of 1-10, 1 being brain dead, 10 being so alert you could perform a 12 hour surgery....what are you? I'd say I'm at like a 7-8, no surgery, but I could probs solve a complex problem. 

Have you ever thought of what life would be like if we didn't have the internet? I mean, seriously... can you? Without that, we pretty much wouldn't have iPhones, Kindle Fires, emails, computers, constant weather updates, and instant celeb gossip!! How much more simple would our daily lives be? 

Here is a list of some of my top peeves for today:
  • Unsafe driving
  • Rudeness
  • Warm cucumbers
  • End of toilet paper rolls
  • Unorganized maps

SO excited for this weekend. I love holidays! :) 

I learned an interesting factoid today: early birds are more productive throughout the day, are more creative in the early hours and all around are less stressed!

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. - Benjamin Franklin

We all know that Ben Franklin spits the truth.

So.... I suggest instead of watching another episode or reading another chapter, you hit the hay and wake up early tomorrow.

Long, lost pals.

Oh! Hello, I didn't see you there.
Gosh, it's been a long time since I've last visited. How are you old, blogger, friend?

Well. This post will be about why I choose to blog. This is a deep question that dates back to the 12th century. But not really. I think blogging is a really fun way to take a new perspective on life. I now find myself looking at things and thinking "hmm... good post idea?" This is a very wonderful thing. I often think about how I would word things in my daily life. Like my inner dialect, what the dishwasher is thinking... and so on.

These are all normal thoughts, right?

You know what else is right? Getting paid to have fun. Gosh. Sometimes I just start thinking about my jewelry business and I get pretty pumped. What the heck? Seriously, I'm having so much fun, and making such easy money. (The jewelry isn't bad either...)

Who else thinks the "Location Settings" are a little creepy? GPS? Helpful tool or invasion of privacy? I do understand that you must "opt-in" to these settings, but sometimes you are automatically being tracked.

Interesting days, we live in.

Why was the keyboard invented in such a random order? QWERTY? What a genius. Things like these keep me on my toes.


That's for sure.
Love y'all.
Have a great Monday (it's my favorite day of the week!)
Always believe, the best is yet to come.

PS: There is only 120 days left until Christmas. Isn't that glorious?!

Wednesday, August 15


Ever wonder what would make your life easier? Less cleaning? Less work? More money? More fun? Less stress?

This is a funny link:
http://make-everything-ok.com/
It made me think of those questions above.

Well. Anyways. Can't wait. Life is too exciting! I am having a Fargs gathering tomorrow evening. Me and my ladies will be tearing it up! It is a potluck (which I'm especially excited about) and we will be hanging out and discussing the new lia sophia fall line of jewelry! Hopefully everyone has fun!! It begins at 6.33pm. So if anyone wants to come, just gimme a holla. There will be a ton of prizes.

Nik and I watched a YouTube video tonight, it was one where a guy does the girl's makeup. I feel like that would be a real tasty treat for those who read my blog. So if you think that's a good idea, maybe you should let me know. :)

This is just an observation over the past few decades of my life: because it's summer, people seem to be happier, waitresses, cashiers, friends, coworkers, and so on. When it gets windy, stinky and cold out, people tend to get crankier with the decrease in temp. BUT, I also came to the realization: it's called "attitude weather." This "attitude weather" is solely your choice. You choose your own "weather" from day to day. Either it's 90 and sunny or -50 and blowing, but what kind of weather do you portray?

On a lighter note: who discovered bubbles?! Because who ever figured it out was probably pumped out of their minds for like....their entire life.

Always believe, the best is yet to come.
Much love, lovers.

Alternate You and Movie Review.

Canon G12 10MP Digital Camera - Cameras & Accessories (Google Affiliate Ad)Hi.
Do you ever wonder if there is another you somewhere? Like across the world, speaking a different language, living in a different life? Perhaps we made opposite decisions in this lifetime. Maybe we are the different, but still the same? I mean really.... could God have that huge of an imagination where He can make up billions of unique people? I'm going to go with yes... but, I do know that he did some repeating after a few billion were produced. The neat thing about this is that we are able to be in complete control of our days. We can either choose to wake up on time in the morning, and whether to dress up or look like a slob. Do you decide to be polite? People who complain about the world, choose to suffer in their own lame-ness. People---Yeah, it does suck. Get over it. Every moment is literally a blessing. Some just choose not to see it fully.

Back to my alternate person.... could it be true? Will we ever know? Or is this what some call soul mates, or a brother from another mother? Did you know that if you own more than 1 pair of shoes, you are among the wealthiest 5% of the whole world? Life could get a lot worse for you. Maybe our opposite person is one of the poorest people living on pennies a day. Which brings me to my next thought... we should pray for those less fortunate than us.

Those last 2 paragraphs were mind-blowing.

Nikolaus and I saw Total Recall tonight, it was a fantastic date night! :) He's the best. But that movie was totally a dude-flick. 95% punching/shooting/running from bad guys, 3% two hot chicks with tight pants fighting for his affection, 1% beard-scruff and 1% Asian people screaming.

Top 5

Hello kind world,
It is Sunday, August 5th, 2012. (If ya didn't know).

Here are the top 5 things I have been wondering about:
1. Why do people always carve "HI" into things? Is that truly the most wise things to share? OR is it just easiest to carve/read?
2. Where did the summer go? I'm starting to believe that time goes by quicker the older I get. NOT saying I'm old.
3. Why are we still relying on gas for our vehicles? Can't we invent something cleaner, cheaper and more widely available? Like salt water?
4. My weekend was fabulous! :) I got to share my best gal pal's wedding at home. I was a bridesmaid! So fun! I also hung out with my family and played a hilarious game of "Things" with Nik, Jenessa, Holly, Momma and Daddy-oh. I'm in love with this weekend.
5. Why would anyone waste their lives (or even a minute) on thinking negatively about a situation that cannot be changed? It's like the silliest thing. You could be producing something wonderful, like a doodle, or a master plan that could make you millions of dollars. Just sayin'.

In order for you to stay happy in today's moments.... Write down (or at least think of) the top 5 things that you are grateful for. This exercise is to keep you in check of your life and to realize how beautiful you are.


Sorry that was a tish goopy for today's post. :)
Deep down, I know everyone liked it.

Always believe, the best is yet to come.
