And somewhere between the horse barn and the red building next to the satellite dish used as a garden ornament…..
…..I climbed up onto my soap box.
I have a few soap boxes.
But this one is my favorite.
This is my soapbox where I wax eloquently about the importance of choosing a really good boyfriend.Continue reading

A long time ago I lost my heart to a sailor.
My heart couldn’t help it.
He had these sparkling brown eyes that twinkled when he smiled and a grin that made me melt from the top of my freshly highlighted hair to the tips of my glittered red toes.
So in honor of my twinkling eyed sailor this Memorial Day,,,,,I wanted to re-publish one of my favorite posts ever.
In the history of ever.
About a sailor who loved a girl.
And a girl who loved a sailor…..

We arrived with a moving truck full of furniture…..two boys, two girls and a dog.

The other day I put a bobby pin in my hair.
Right at the top….holding back my bangs.
I’m not really sure why I put it there….I’m not really the bobby pin type. I’m more of a hot roller girl….one who never met a can of aqua net hairspray that wasn’t welcomed with open arms.
But I just saw Jennifer Aniston in a magazine with a bobby pin.
And she looked amazing.
Her bobby pin said “I’m cool and hip and fun and ready to fly to the south of France at a moment’s notice.”
All things I aspire to daily.Continue reading
