Livin' the Dream...

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating and building, others could destroy overnight. Create and build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."--Mother Teresa

Ok, not so much an addiction but a gulity pleasure definitely! This one ranks right up there with my desire to watch the Housewives of Bravo. It started with the Housewives of Orange County then those from Atlanta (don't really care for them though, they just fill the time in between seasons of the other ladies) then them city slickers from New York and most recently the mafia queens from New Jersey (although they say there are no mafia ties-whatev). I guess it started when I had Austin...up for late night/early morning feedings and nothing else to do. SO one morning I tuned into Bravo and found those blondies from OC. Been addicted ever since. But THIS , this is really embarrassing. I actually bought this the other day for a fun summer read: Can you believe it?! It's not even out in paperback yet...too new. Yep, I paid for the hardback. I think I was feeling a little disconnected with my femininity. I mean two babies in two years, c'mon I have gotta climb my way back

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind. --Dr. Suess Sums me up, don't ya think?!

Well, we are off to the coast for a fun filled weekend of food, sand, family, friends, parades and fireworks. Can't wait, yet still a little saddened with the fact that it is July already! Geesh, didn't this summer thing JUST get kicked off?!?! Anywho, plan to start cutting my felt for the aforementioned project and getting some quality reading time in on this book: However, it is the boys' FIRST parade and warm beach trip...I may have to put in some quality play time on that vast strip of sand the coast has to offer. Yep, I see a grand sandcastle in my future. Happy Independence Day to ya'll!
