Lesson of the Day: Don't let the man get you down.

When you feel like you've been kicked down, abused, taken for granted, mistreated, and someone has stolen your super cute green wedges...

Stop. Pose for a picture. Think. Reflect. Find your shoe. Come up with a plan. And pick yourself off the ground. Gracefully, of course.

The End.

LOST spoilers. Its Thursday, which means Michelle and I will be chatting via email all day long about our fave show...LOST. So the truth is, I was totally losing interest in the show about 2 months ago. Michelle and I almost bid farewell to our beloved show. But then, things starting happening. Desmond starting having premonitions and predicted Charlie would die. We found out that Claire was Jack's sister. Locke became the asshole who killed an Other and killed off everyone's chances of leaving the island. Jerk. He totally has been urking me lately. Him and his wierd ideas. And even stranger faces, like he's a constipated man on a mission type face. You know what I'm talking about? Anyways, I digress. And last night! WOW. What a great hour of television. The diamonds. The spider who paralyzed them. The burial of Nikki and Paolo. And how fucking cute is Paolo? And his adorable little accent. I think I have a thing for foreign men. With dark hair and who can barely speak English. Speaking of foreign men. It is my bestest friends birthday today! Happy Birthday to my one and only Reubenator!

Yo Yo Yo!

What up! So, I know i promised a Blog-Makeover for Friday, but today will just have to do. It's been SOOOO good to be home. I've been spending lots of QT with my Matty. Louie seems happy to have me back considering he hasn't left my side all weekend. And I've even had time to use some of my new scrappy supplies. I got so much stuff at Scrap Etc. Pretty sick deals and lots of giveaways. Gots lots of Hambly goodies. And F-werks. New Scenic Route. And of course some AC thickers and paper. It was so nice to be in a scrap store again. God knows the ones around here have all closed down. Oh wait, there is that one. I'm not naming names, but the store is still stuck on 2001 styles and Creative Memories. YUCK. Not hating. Just stating. OH, and I was at Urban Outfitters and picked up some sweet-ass sticky notes. And two cuter-than-cute shirts. And I got Erika this little mirror thing. Its got her 3 most favorite things all together in one package. The color pink, argyle, and skulls. I think she'll like it...

Here is a picture from the Event. With Christina Padilla, who is totally rad and super duper cute. She really is amazing and it was total inspiration to meet her.

And so when I was down in Birmingham, I thought it would be funny to buy Matt a BAMA shirt. He loved it. So he wore it yesterday. And this is him cooking us dinner. Seafood Alfredo. So YUMMY. He is such an amazing cook. I'm so lucky. LOVE his hair in this pic. If its the weekend, he doesn't wear any products in his hair. It's classic. And last, but not least. My scrappies from yesterday and today. I hope everyone had a good weekend! I'm going to play outside now. Byeeeee!

The Good Ol' South

Gotta give a shout out to Webshots.
I used to upload there ALL the time.
And I don't anymore.
I do miss writing the captions.
But they still send me alerts.
And I got one yesterday that cracked me up!
Molls, Rach, Mo....
You know what I'm talking about.
Greg Sturz....he found the pic!
And felt up Rachel a few years back.
Bwhahahahahahah!

SO, I'm still in Birmingham, Alabama.
Yep, the good old south!
Everyones got that cute southern accent.
But, I am so ready to come home!!
And hear normal accents. Ha.
And upload my pictures from the Event.
(Carol and Irasema please send me pics!)
And see my wonderful boyfriend.
And eat home cooked meals.
And sleep in my own bed, well *our* bed!
Ahhh, I can't wait. One more day!

Ok, so LOST last night!
WOW. Seriously. WOW.
What has Locke gone and done this time?
What is going to happen to the Losties now?
Will they remain prisoners?
Will Danielle be reuinited with Alex?
And who will die next week?
I *doubt* it will be Charlie.
That would be too predictable.
Soooo excited for next week!
And Grey's tonight...whoop whoop!
I need to stop watching so much TV.

*Side Note* I know my blog has totally sucked lately and for that I'm sorry. I have had no time. I need to add some color. And pictures galore. And more links to all my favorite things. I promise, PROMISE, promise it will be better. Starting tomorrow. PROMISE. And if you read my lovely little blog, then please leave a comment. I'd love to know who's out there lurking. =)

Two Days & Happy Places

In two day's...I'll be in Birmingham, AL. Yep, the good old south. And I can't wait. Because I'm HATING work right now. The deadlines. The angry bosses. Cubicle life. Hating it all. Need to get away. Warmer weather. Friendly people. Mini-vacation. Well, the first half is mini-vaca because I'll be at the Scrap, Etc. Event. So freaking excited! I can totally see all my non-scrappy friends reading this, thinking to themselves, that their friend Natalie is such a loser. But, think what you want! I am too excited to care. I think I'm cool. And that is all that matters. Ha!

In other news. Matt and I are still waiting on our 50" Plasma. Which should be delivered any day now. We got it from Costco, which just happens to be the best place on earth. Seriously...LOVE Costco. I think Costco and Target are my happy places. Where I don't even need a reason to go, but when I get there, I find what I need. Like for example, on Sunday, we took our weekly trip to Costco and I found Season 9 of Friends (the one season that was missing from my collection) for guess how much?!?! $15.99. Man, gots to love it! Also, went to Rock and Roll Hotel for a birthday party on Friday. Really cool place. Very different, but thats probably what I liked most about it. Will post pictures at a later date. That's all, my friends. Back to it.

Ice = Not my Friend

So, yesterday, I fell. Yep, I bit it. As I was walking in front of my car, trying to de-ice the damn windshield, I slipped on some ice, and DOWN I went. It hurt SO bad. I landed on mostly my knee and hip. I was in so much pain (and shock) that I just sat there, on the cold dirty ice, and cried. I couldn't move. My knee throbbed. My pretty new Italian Cashmere coat sat soaking up the ice and filth from the ground. I finally got up, limped up 4 flights of stairs to my appt, and cried some more on my couch. My knee was bloody. My thigh was instantly bruised. I thought about being a bigger baby and calling out sick. But, I sucked it up and went to work. Bad idea. My knee bled through my pretty work pants and sitting on my bruised hip all day did not feel good. Just wanted to share my petite tragedy with everyone. Happy Friday!
