A Basket Full of Cookies

I have been terrified of this weekend.

Why you ask?

Well Frankie said we were going to talk about us having children. You see Frankie has always been unsure about having kids because of his chronic disease, Crohn's. For those who either are just plain assholes or really don't know; Chronic Disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured. NOT CURED! And yes that's my Frankie.

He doubts being able to being stable enough to give them the love and support they deserve. I personally think he would be the most amazing dad. For starters, he gets to be the stay at home parent who spoils them rotten with cookies and ice cream. But he doesn't see that. He thinks he would be distant because he would worry.

He fails to realize that he is amazing uncle!!!! They don't come running to him over Chris for nothing.

But this morning I was totally swept off my feet and reduced to tears.

I woke up to a box of tiny cookies. This were macadamia nut and white chocolate which is my second favorite kind of cookie! The top cookies spelled out "Eat Us." Eat them I did.

This was below the cookies. No this is not my picture this is the website's picture.

We are going to have little glittery monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fresh Start Challenge Day 21: I Am Willing to Do Anything for You





She was having a horrible night with a different so called "friend" and I kept trying to make her feel better. But I lost it when she said she wanting to kill herself. This is a girl who brought sunshine to my life. The one that literally lights up a room when she walks in.

I was devastated that she was wanting to end her life. It brought me to my knees because I would do anything for her. Lord knows she's been there for me for the past few years. Even when she can't physically be there for me, she talks to me.

She is fine now. Nothing a little retail therapy and a new outlook on life couldn't help. She is always going to be the knock girl. No matter what happens. And I will promise you payback is coming to the ones that hurt her. Mark my words.

Fresh Start Challenge Day 20: Just So You Know


Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

"My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go"




“Never underestimate a girl’s love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.” 
― Alex Gaskarth 





If someone can't appreciate your presence,
let them appreciate your absence.





He takes my hand & leads
me along paths I would not have
even dared to explore alone


I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. - Diane Ackerman.



The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. 
– Eleanor Roosevelt.


We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present. - Marianne Williamson.


There will always be the girls you can't believe
you were once friends with. ; ` the boys you can't
believe you kissed & ; the one [ boy ] you can't
believe you ever lived without. 

(Yes I stole that from my middle school blog)


i love you. i love you not because you're adorable
or because you're sweet, or because you're my 
best friend. i love you because you make me step 
outside myself & look at who i really am. you 
make me want to be a better person, just because 
you are who you are. i can tell you absolutely 
everything, & i know you will listen. and you're one 
of my best friends


the best kind of kiss
is the unexpected
unplanned ones 
the ones that come naturally
like in the middle of a sentence



Point of the story, I believe in payback. Letting people screw you over is just lazy & uncreative


Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know youre mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes



There are two types of mints you never turn down in life:
breath mints & compliments. Either way, someone is trying to tell you something.




Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get. - Ingrid Bergman.


A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. 

– Eleanor Roosevelt.


“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want." — Madonna


“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West



When a man treats his woman like a princess, it is proof that he has been raised by a queen.




A boy makes his girl jealous of other women. A gentleman makes other women jealous of his girl.



I may love to shop, but I’m not buying your bullshit.


Fresh Start Challenge Day 19: Make It Rain



I wouldn't have half the scars on me if someone had doused me glitter when I was feeling bad. I love the sparkle and shine of glitter. I am not one of these people that hates that glitter is hard to clean up. Life needs more sparkle.

Heck at my funeral I want big freaking confetti to celebrate my life. I want to be wearing a sequin dress (even if I live to be 104) and my hair shining with sparkles. Heck don't send flowers just cover my grave with sequins and glitter or even glitter flowers if you must. Oh and don't forget cookies for the grave beside me! I will be smiling at all of you from my glitter cloud that God has prepared for me! I mean that would be the perfect ending to my life is a bunch of glitter. Oh please please wear sequins and sparkles too, I promise it won't be disrespectful.

Off of the gloomy subject of death. Seriously glitter makes me so excited. Anything that sparkles or can sparkle I love! I love modge podging things so that they have glitter on them! All the way down to my tv remote! Yep I love it that much!

Fresh Start Challenge Day 18: Take My Hand






+Hunter and +Odette were the ones that inspired me the most to start blogging.

Odette was the one I used to watch that would spend hours blog planning when she went for walks. Come on the girl has a planner for her blog along. Some people don't see the small changes that go into her blog. But to the trained person you can see how she inputs ideas into her blogging and slowly. Which is really better than just a dramatic change.

Hunter, OMG this girl took the blogging world by storm. She is amazing with her blogging. At first she did a lot of make up and beauty things and I have to agree with Zach Holland. Her personal blogs are fabulous and a lot of fun to get to another layer of Hunter. I do believe we need to do a Southern blog challenge for her!!! Score idea for me!!!
