My Sparkle of the Day...

Check 'er out! Santa Baby brought me a pair of silver glitter TOMS...just like I want. :) I was so happy after I tore through the wrapping paper to find these cuties. Just thought I would share on Christmas day! Hope you all are having a fabulous Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve all!

Can you believe that Christmas is just the day after tomorrow? Well, I can't. It's also hard to believe how fast this year has flown by. I must say, it's been an interesting year for me. But, that's another story and post! Right now, I'm talking about Christmas. ;)~

What is everyone wanting for X-Mas this year? What I'm wanting is a pair of TOMS, preferably a pair of glittery ones just like these...

Aren't they just cute?!? They could jazz up ANY outfit. They also come in gold, pink, and red glitter. So cute!

Well, I guess I better be getting off to go finish up some Christmas shopping. Yes, I still have a few things to buy!

"I know a girl, she puts the color inside of my world..."

Song: Daughters

Artist: John Mayer

Album: Heavier Things

One of my FAVORITE songs from John Mayer would have to be Daughters. It's one of the most beautiful songs instrumentally and lyrically. By the way, is "instrumentally" and "lyrically" real words or just something I made up?

I'm sure Daughters has a lot of different meanings to people. But to me, it's about a guy who falls in love with a girl that is somewhat complicated, closed off, guarded. He thinks the problem is him, then he realizes that maybe it has nothing to do with him. Maybe it has to do with the fact that her Dad wasn't good to her...or maybe it was her Mom...or MAYBE, just maybe, she had a really nasty boyfriends who didn't treat her well. This said girl let them shape her into the person she is today. So, like I said earlier, it didn't have anything to do with him!

Not sure if that's what everyone got off of it, but that's what I did!

Now, before I go, I'll leave you with lyrics to Daughters...

*****

I know a girl

She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Photo Diary: November 2010

My November Photo Diary is rather small. It makes me sad. I always hate it when I don't take a lot of pictures. Oh well, I guess!

Anyways...

I noticed that I went to more concerts than I usually go to. I went to see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience and also saw Hinder (Again). Both were VERY good concerts!

I hope you enjoy this months short Photo Diary!

November 3rd

A lady in our homeschool group had recently had her baby. I just LOVE babies! How could you not though?

Roxy!

November 11th

I felt kinda creative one day, so thought I would bling-out my iPod cover. A little bling never hurt anyone before! I guess my little sister thought it may hurt someone 'cause she ripped the jewels off the next day! What a wiener...

November 13th

Stacy-a lady I know who owns her own catering business-asked me if I would like to work with her for the day. Of course I said yes! I had a great time...I got to cook...serve food...and eat cake. (;

The place where we were working at was on the lake. It was just beautiful with the leaves changing.

Alyssa, me, & Stacy. It was the man's 60th Birthday, so there was a lot of glasses like this...

November 17th

Like I said ^above^, I went to Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. Very cool show! Lot's of interesting lights and such.

November 20th

As much as I loved having super long, half way down my back hair, it just got to be too long. So, I had about 7 inches chopped off and some cute side-swept bangs cut in. You can't tell how much shorter it in this picture, but I REALLY loved the lighting in this photo!

November 25th-THANKSGIVING!

Ah yes, Thanksgiving, the time to stuff yourself like the turkey! Boy, did I...

November 26th

I didn't go shopping on Black Friday. So instead, I went with my Dad & brother to the skatepark to hang and get some pictures. I always like to get pictures of Ransome and his friends up there because they skate SO well.

Dehjay.

Ransie.

November 27th

My friend Jessica and I went to go see Hinder on this day! Even though I saw Hinder back in 2008, I still had to see them again. It was a great show, with Default & My Darkest Days as openers. Although I love Hinder, I would have to say that My Darkest Day was my FAVORITE band of the night. They rocked the house!
