today is for facts full of random.

ice-cream makes me cough.
i could use a lesson on doing my own make-up.
sometimes....i cry because i love my pooch so darn much.
i want to buy a vintage camper (small in size) and live in it for a summer. maybe on a farm.
i rarely quit talking. in fact, i tell my best stories while i am sleeping.
i am a professional blanket fort builder....
and a part time palm reader (in the state of florida, at least)
i live in a world full of pretending.

happy hump day.

love,
m

i change my "color crush" very often.

deep down in my heart my all time favorite (color) remains the same color as my eyes. 

and if you don't know what color my eyes are i will tell you just like i tell anyone else when need be...

"my eyes are green and you better write that down."

but today we are only talking crushes....

and these colors.....

they have me crushing. 

hard.

love,

m

good tune tuesday

for my one day. some day.

"May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young."

i love kids. 

i {really} [really] do. 

and when the time comes for me to have my very own little nugget.

he....

or she..... ( i can live with either )

there is no doubt that bob dylan i will sing express to them the words from the song forever young.

"May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young."

my home's in alabama.

this girl (me, me) loves some "football food".
especially when the cook is as spectacular as the one who just cooked for me.

for my home state- 
LETS DO IT.
Hard. 


and for all of my friends being {more than} fancy in new orleans tonight- 

BE SAFE. 

yet do not be afraid to celebrate so wonderfully that you
(or the friend whom happens to be standing the closest to your side at the time)
misjudge the location of the bar stool you are aiming your booty towards.

because it is more than a fact that the floors on bourbon street always feel the love of an alabama behind when they hit so hard gracefully....

game face.
is on.

and if i was sitting in a [football themed] steven tyler chair tonight....
i would certainly have no problem sending THIS little football player straight to hollywood.

:

to the big brother:
i owe a {simple} little love filled birthday shout-out.
only a few days {fashionably} late, but of course.
i hope you are smiling right now, where ever it may be that you are watching the game.

love,

m

my life lately [ in a few pictures, anyway]

 

tomorrow. 

[maybe]

i will have some words.

but for tonight i will kick my heels up after a long, long day and leave it at just that.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

twelve seems to be fancy so far. 

love,

m

ohhhhh, hi!
i hope everyone has a merry little (big) christmas.

i still have some presents to buy make. and wrap.
no worries, i work extremely well under pressure.
there is a funfetti cake to be made (of course, in the shape of a christmas tree) and decorated in all the fancy sparkly toppings to basically just look pretty. i originally wanted to make a gingerbread house mansion but wiggled my idea on over to making a funfetti christmas tree cake and dec.it.out.like.woah. and then obviously, ohh and ahh over it. and i may or may not be solely doing this for looks.


YOU GUYS! santa is coming!
TONIGHT!

i believe in santa. one hundred and ten percent.
in fact, i am sitting right next to santa now. as he flips conversation back and forth from football to music.... he somehow makes the entire room light up with a glow of all things christmas.
and mrs. clause.... shes up to something. perhaps shes still wrapping up a few more gifts? whatever it is she has not sat down since she walked in the door.
are you able to hang out with santa tonight? or mrs. clause?
regardless of what you are doing and who you are hanging out with i hope it is BRIGHT. and jolly. MERRY. and warm with the ones you love.

love,
m

tomorrow is my daddy's birthday. 

and i could talk about him for.days.and.days.

instead i will keep it simple and share a few pictures. 

daddy, i hope you have a special birthday.

because you are sure special to me.

love,

me

NFGD

november 17th  is national "no frown get down" day.

job well done just for waking up and making it out into the world.

free smiles and thumbs-up for everyone.

this was declared last night by tiffany and mallory. via text.
so here i am to make it official.
hello, world. celebrate this new holiday why dontcha?

love,
m + tq

file under notes to self:

1.there will never be enough hours in the day to complete all that you wish to.  and that is okay. because making a [long] daily to-do list is therapeutic. check marks or not. so breathe. (and repeat)

2.paint your nails more often. it only makes you feel a million times better. somehow.

3.you know all those coke products you drink? well how about entering your mycokerewards and ordering some new magazines. because almost all of your mags you get now are coming to an end.

4.never say never when referring to your long drawn out search for the perfect pair of vintage red cowgirl boots.  your day is coming, girl. just hang in there.

5.organizing your brain [while in the shower] with some decor thoughts for the holidays always seems more legit.

6.write another song.

7.refurnish a piece of furniture that you love and actually keep it for yourself.

8.exercise and h2o. push yourself.

9.pray. always.

10.snap snap on starting your new years resolution list. make the length long and the statements loud.
