  • Good morning. Me wants to make a new Xanga layout.

    I was thinking about doing a Hunger Games theme or maybe more like a Katniss & Peeta theme but then again I thought that would be too geeked-out.  So, I will likely do something that’s more of a lovely Country vibe… hmmm, we’ll see.

    Edit ~  On another note, do y’all know who George Strait is?  I’ve heard of him before in my days but it wasn’t until about 4 years ago when I started listening to Country music that I really knew who he was.  My thought was, “wow, this guy is a living legend!”  He’s been doing this music thing since before I was born and he’s STILL droppin’ hits today.  I love many of his songs and I admire him deeply.  One of my favs is “Give it Away”… if you’re married, it’s a great song to know. :o )
    Here’s a snippet from Wiki:

    George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music singer, actor, and music producer. Strait is referred to as the “King of Country,” and critics call Strait a living legend.[1] He is known for his unique style of western swing music, bar-room balladshonky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional Country music. George Strait holds the world record for more number-one hit singles than any other artist in the history of music on any chart or in any genre, having recorded 59 number-one hit singles as of 2012.

  • Beauty

    The compliment that I often get is “you look like a model”… “you should be a model.” And that’s usually when I have my hair & makeup done and… when I’m wearing high heels and skinny jeans. lol It’s usually women who tells me this also.  And I know they would not be saying anything like that if I was rockin my usual raggedy look.  It’s amazing how hair, makeup, clothing.. can make a big difference in the way people see you… and also how you see yourself.

    I love fashion & beauty.  But on the inside, I’m just a dreamer & goofball.  I love my family, God, Country music, sex(lol), and EVERYTHING that nature and life has to offer.  Sometimes, the way I look may give people the wrong impression about me… I get that.  I know girls who are lovely on the outside but they’re snobby and conceited with nothing on the inside.  And unfortunately, a lot of those girls are just as fake as their eyelashes and trash talking drama queens and I want nothing to do with that.  haha.  It burns me sometimes to see beauty wasted.  Anyway, that’s all! 
  • Just in case if you haven’t seen Mars yet!

    This is pretty amazing when you think about it… that you’re actually looking at the surface and sky of another planet~ in panoramic HD too!  However, I did not see John Carter.

  • Our Top 5 Olympic Games

    I asked Army what his Top 5 events to watch were and he said Men’s Basketball, Badminton, Swimming, Volleyball and Track & Field.  He seems to watch everything though.

    I don’t get to watch nearly as much as he does, but my Top 5 are Diving, Swimming, Soccer, Athletics and Gymnastics.

    We both love the Olympics and really wish that we were at the London Games right now, watching from the stands… cheering for Team USA!  Hopefully, in the 2016 Olympics we’ll be able to attend… wherever that may be!

    Oh, Army just reminded me that it’ll be in Rio.
