Sweet Harper- Cakes & Beans

8....

I have never worn eye shadow.... aside from high school dances and my wedding (which I wish I would not of)- I dont wear eye shadow.... I am blessed with great creases in my eye lids that create the look of eye shadow without actually doing it... infact- I have no idea how to even go about putting eye shadow on... funny huh?

#9....

I do not believe in regrets.... sure we have all done things we are not proud of or wish that maybe we hadnt but I do not believe in looking back... if you do that- you cannot move forward. And everything that happen before today- every decision that you made- led you to the person that you are today and without them you would be totally different- so I believe there is not reason to regret it because it is now part of you and you should be proud of who you are and who you have become...

10....

I have decided to blog 10 things you may not know about me.... that way you guys can get a better and deeper understanding of the crazy girl that is me... so #10- I get acupuncture done.... as often as I can- for those of you wincing right now it is because you have not tried it... it is not painful nor uncomfortable.... actually it is quite the opposite- I lay there with all those needles in me and I just pass out and sleep and it is an amazing sleep- it is only for like 15 minutes but it feels like hours and when you wake up I am more relaxed than if I had a massage.. it is great- for all you skeptics out there... go on.... give it a try- you will love it!

Honesty....

Here is the thing.... this is probably the most honest I will ever be on this blog but I feel like I need to get this out.... maybe it is just me but does facebook sometimes bum anyone else out?? It may just be my need to fit in which I know most women feel.... why dont men feel that??? They never feel like they need to fit on or get sad when they are not included... but anyways... It is kind of a self fulfilling propecy for me.... because you think these people are your friends and then they write on everyone's wall but yours and post pictures of them together and you are not there and it is painful.... I swear it is at least every other day that I want to get off facebook but I am so in love with being in the know (I am strong enough to admit it) that I dont do it.... I should just get rid of the people that hurt me but I cant- It is so frusterating... I am such a baby... but the truth is that facebook to me is like a car wreck.... you do not want to slow down and look but you do it anyways and then you cannot look away even though you know what you are about to see will probably be disappointing....

decisions....

Life is full of all kinds of decisions....little ones....big ones.... all kinds. I hate making decisions- I will be honest- I can make a snap decision= in fact that is probably why I make decisions so fast- because I do not like making them so I just go with my heart and get it over with. Lately- I have had a lot of decisions to make and even though I have decided on what to do about each of them- I hate the second guessing- ya know? About everything.... It is hard to ever fully make a decision and be totally comfortable with it.... I just need a nap (that is what I do when I am stressed!) but instead I am off to gymnastics with Addie- I guess that is life.... life goes on and therefore you need to find peace in your decisions and trust that the Lord helped to make it the right one for you at the time....

old friends....

Fresh off the phone for the last hour and a half.... switching to direct tv.... gotta love those calls.... anyways- I had an old friend and her kids over today- I mean I think the last time she and I hung out alone we were in the 6th grade! :) It was a lot of fun- we had so much in common and our kids played great together.... it is interesting how you can come full circle with someone isnt it? You spend year just being aquaintences and then something as dumb as facebook brings you back together and BOOM! you made a new friend all over again.... it is just crazy to think that I met her at an age that is not all that much older than our kids.... weird... :)

Here they are....

Let me know what you think....

NEW BOYS SHIRTS....

boys clothing....

I am venturing into boys clothing.... will post picts tonight or tomorrow..... stay tuned!!!! :)

girlfriends....

I find good girlfriends are very hard to come by..... I always envied the ladies on "sex and the city" and the relationships that they had with one another... I think that is part of the reason why that show is so successful- every woman wants friends like that... candid, love you no matter what, never turn their back on you friends.... I have a few in my life like this but I have been hurt by too many women (as I am sure that many have- women just seem to do that to one another) to really open myself up easily to many people. But recently I have stumbled across one of those women- one that you just instantly click with and you know it is going to be this awesome- long lasting friendship.... I feel those people are the ones that you need to hold close too because like I said- we all want a "samantha" to our "carrie" :)

resolutions....

Well... i just got off the treadmill which I am remembering how much I love and how much it makes me feel just so great- which leads me to my resolution for the new year- which I am sure is similar to most other people out there...
I want to be a better me- all around- my body- I want to run again (since I took a long break off for mono- and then just got lazy)- I want to give up pop (though it was not all that much to begin with)- and I want to get more sleep.... I want to be a more patient mom- a more loving wife- and a more caring friend... and I want to create a very successful business- doing even better than 2009.... basically my goals for twenty-ten are health, wealth, love, and happiness.... same as always right.... :)

clips are up!!

The mitten clips and pacifier clips are up and you are able to purchase them online or at many of the retail locations.... check it out www.cakesandbeans.com

new years....

To be honest- I have never been much of a new years person- I just don't really get into all the hoopla around it. That's why having kids is nice for me.... you have a bona fide excuse to call it an early night and just go to bed.... after all- all it is is another year starting over ya know? Don't get me wrong- I am very thankful to be here, and have a healthy and happy family for another year- but I feel like every day should be a celebration of that- not just Dec.31st ya know? But to all you out there who love this night- Happy New Year to you and may 2010 bring you love, joy, prosperity, and health. As for me- it is my bedtime... :)
