 A gift.  A great way to rock my weird at work

Our mugs were having a hot chocolate date.  Seems our phone holders wanted in on the fun.  Yes. One of my bffs and I have matching unicorn phone holders lol 

This made me tear up.  I'm the middle one

Rock your silly

Rock your silly. Rock your weird.  I'm a playful and silly individual.  And this is why you will often see silly pictures that I myself or in or that I take.  It brings a certain happiness and warmth that I can make a person smile or chuckle.  I don't even have to know it happens.  I can just imagine it with it my crazy sparkly personality.  It's the evolution of where I am, a year later.  I finally see my worth.  It took months of pushing through insecurities.  And don't get me wrong.  The inner demons like to bubble up.  Especially, around the winter time.  Guess it gives new meaning to Winter blues.  But I have such a support system, it's hard to let the little buggers win.  And it helps now that I see I am this amazing woman.  All the beautiful words told to me have stuck with me. I also pay attention more when Jeremy does it in a different way.  It's an odd way but it is a Jeremy way.   Memories by Ryan Stewart is on.  .   So...if something that seems utterly ridiculous but makes you happy...I say go for it.  Read that book.  Dress up that silly.  Take a picture with a T-Rex.  Envision yourself as a unicorn.  Whatever it is, Rock your silly.  Rock your weird.  The world needs more of that.  Especially, now.  And I never get tired of telling you, my quiet spaces...thank you for reading me.  You have your reasons.  I am humbled by your readership.

Gives new meaning to Mimi getting carried away with things.

The Adventures of Mimi

I loathe Elf on the shelf.  I respect that others have it but ughs.  So I wanted to have a little fun with that concept.  I found Whore in a drawer.  So I created Mimi.  (It was kinda like mini mi , kinda sorta) And Mimi has gotten taken a life of her own.  I have way too much fun figuring out pictures to take.  I even got a nod from Whore in a drawer Facebook page.  Welcome to my insanity.  You know you are chuckling right now.  Don't try to hide it.  Since Thanksgiving, we have just been chilling.  Friday, we had a goofy moment.  We hadn't realized we threw out our tree last year...so we went to get another one.  On Black Friday, no less.  But by then, it seems like the crowd was no longer insane.  I had a girls day with "L".on Saturday.  We got matching Unicorn phone holders.  We are truly adorkable.  She had to get a wedding present so off to shopping we went.  But first, some coffee.  There has been some drama in between regarding Javier.  He is a douche moose.  I came up with douche camel and the worst...douche moose.  I hope things work out for CC.  I am so relieved I didn't have kids with this character.  Ughs.  I digress.  Life is good.  I have a pebble that has to stay around.  I wish I could remove it but sometimes we deal with things or people we would rather not.  Tis life.  I apologize to anyone out in the world that I may have disrespected or crossed boundaries.  Maybe I am just getting older and coming up to a different level.  Luckily, I have a stellar support system.  They keep me grounded.  I think I was always missing one link to it.  I have tried with certain people...and whether it was me...or them..or both, we were not a good fit for each other.  It's sad.  But it's reality.  It does make me appreciate what I have now.  Dream Space by Dean Evenson is on.   You can have a little chuckle from the adventures of Mimi.  Just think...I'm having way too much fun with this.  Have a wonderful day.  Today is a reflection day.  Not necessarily bad, not necessarily good...just reflective.

11 years

11 years together.  It seems surreal.  When I imagined the idea spending this long with someone, I don't think I had Jeremy in mind.  Not because I didn't want that, just that it wasn't in the cards.  And then, it was.  Life has a funny way of unfolding and helping us learn things.  Over the past year I have learned so much about myself.  And in that, my relationship with Jeremy.  Like any couple, we have our struggles.  But we figure it out.  It's the three words we know.  We figure it out.  We don't give up on each other.  We're stubborn for each other.  We're stuck with each other lol.  I love that about us.  We've had two 11th hour moments.  One outside of our marriage.  The reconcile is what brought about this day.  We originally got together December 5, 2005.  But that was Girl child's birthday and that wasn't fair.  So when we came back together, today is what we came up with...and then Today, the song came on.  So...Today also became our new song.  And then recently, an 11th hour.  A misunderstanding could have been a catastrophe.  But by then, too much anger would have transpired.  But again, we stopped.  Because, we figure it out.  We are that person for each other.  That one best friend that gets the history, the story.  Even when we haven't gotten each other, we figured it out.  And this last year, we learned how to appreciate our differences so we could appreciate our similarities.  We love each other.  And it's a beautiful love story.  It's a comical love story.  It's a love story with depth.  Here's to 11 years.
