"You say love is what you put into it"-Ian Axel

So, an entire pitcher of hot tea may in fact be too much. I know blasphemy.

I love days filled with Paris on the Platte, stories, lots of tea, silliness, a Miss.Christine Goldman and one of my favorite families.

Its not funny. I am serious.

"I think I get less effected by vodka than by beer. Because, wait..."-Tara W

Seriously, if I ever get married it is not going to be about the ring. Give me a plastic ring, or a yarn ring, or a twist tie bread ring I don't care. Its about the person I am marrying and not the object.

"I need to find a hobby. I think I am going to take up burlesque dancing"-Jessie

"So, part of the deal with us being married is that I never have to make my own lunch. But, I do other things really well like make the bed"-Jeffie

Sometimes I wish that I could just fast-forward through life a few years. And, be a little older, and done with school, and working, and be married (if that's going to happen), and have children. The funny thing is I say that but, I would not even want that a little bit. Each moment is an adventure. Each step of life is exciting and is building and growing me as a person. I just wish I knew where I ended up. But, at the same time I don't and it would be so boring if I did.

"You say love is what you put into it"-Ian Axel

You deserve so much more. Please turn and run away.

"So, he's the eye candy?"-Erika

I have always loved this....

Being judgmental involves looking down on people. I may have strong opinions and I usually offer them. But, I do not judge people. Whatever works for you and makes you happy is great by me. As long as you do not hurt me or the people I love.

Fowler...yep, Fowler.

"Are you sure my sister wants to talk to me?"-Shona (my sister)

"Yes, why wouldn't she?"-mom

"Because I am a little drunk"-Shona (she was, and I will always)

"Love isn't based solely on appearance or constantly giving each other attention. It's about having a common interest or dream and working together to achieve it. If two people or two things in love are too preoccupied with each other, they would never move forward. True love produces something and so it propels you toward the same direction." - The Little Prince

So, yeah.....A 2009 wrap up blog is on its way...but, I need to reflect a bit more on that. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for being you.

I am jealous...not fair.

"If somebody gave me this card, I would eat it. It’s-It’s these cards and the movies, and the pop songs…

They’re to blame for all the lies… and the heartache, everything. And we’re responsible. I’m responsible. I think we do a bad thing here. People should be able to say how they feel – how they really feel – not, you know, some words that some strangers put in their mouths. Words like “love”… that don’t mean anything. Sorry. I’m sorry. I, uh – I quit. I’m – T

here’s enough bullshit in the world without my help."-500 Days of Summer

Apple pie ice cream is amazing. Not, as good as Lita's but pretty delicious.

"Yep"-My Mother

"Well, you were married within that amount of time"-Me (in fact about 5)

"That is true"-My Mother (This by the way has always been nuts to me. But, I have decided recently that deciding it's not okay to do that is in fact wrong. Because it sometimes works. Look at my parents. And, there should not be that many rules and regulations on love)

"So, we're not getting married but I have to get rid of my pants?"-He's Just Not That Into You

I think I offended.

I love the mac boy. He is my favorite in He's Just Not That Into You. By the way...I think they should make a movie title She's Just Not That Into You...

McKenzie: Come on; I don’t believe that.

Summer: You don’t believe that a woman could enjoy being free and independent?

McKenzie: Are you a lesbian?

Summer: [laughing] No I’m not a lesbian. I just, don’t feel comfortable being anyone’s girlfriend. I don’t actually feel comfortable being anyone’s anything.

McKenzie: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Summer: Really?

McKenzie: Nope.

Summer: Ok, let me break it down for you–

McKenzie: Break it down!

Summer: Ok. I, like being on my own. I think relationships are messy and people’s feelings get hurt. Who needs it? We’re young, we live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world; might as well have fun while we can and, save the serious stuff for later.

McKenzie: You’re a dude. [to Tom] She’s a dude!

Hello Epic Voice Man.....

Yeah....this is cute....

"Gigi: [opens the door, thinking it's Bill] Did you forget something?Alex: Yeah...
Gigi: Really? What did you forget?
Alex: [pulls out a promotional pen from his pocket] This.
Gigi: So you came all the way here at 11 o' clock in the night to give me a promotional pen?
Alex: Yeah... Yeah, I did. I thought I would come up with some really great excuse to get over here. That's how it's done, right?
Gigi: [smiles] Sometimes.
Alex: Look, I can't stop thinking about you. I... It's a problem. I drive by your place; I call and hang up; I've turned into...
Gigi: Me.
Alex: Yeah.
Gigi: A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what.Alex: That's true.
Gigi: But when I was hurling my body onto yours, you did not seem to want to make it happen.
Alex: Okay, yeah, here's the thing about that... You were right. I'd gotten so used to keeping myself at a safe distance from all these women and having the power that, that I didn't know what it felt like when I actually fell for one of them... I didn't know.
Gigi: Look, I just went out with your friend Bill. He might be just exactly what I need. No drama, he calls; he does what he says...

Gigi: [Alex kisses her]
[smiles]
Gigi: ... I'm the exception...
Alex: [whispers] You are *my* exception.
[they kiss again]"

Um, I am seriously in love with this movie. In freaking LOVE. (500 Days of Summer-at least the beginning the end is a little sad...but, I still love it)

So, my friend marci made this sex book for a friend who got married recently. I saw it in person for the first time yesterday and it made me laugh like crazy. Here is a page from it....its pretty hysterical. (I picked this one because well I love ice cream. Also, Marci is going to be upset that I picked this one that is not scandalous enough. But, I am trying to keep it PG)

"Tom: Darling...
[Summer looks up at him]
Tom: I don't know how to tell you this, but... there's a Chinese family in our bathroom. "-500 Days of Summer

You make me smile.

Gigi: "Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope. "

I cannot wait to see that Coley.

"You are not the only one who has a say in this. I do too. And I say we are a couple, goddamn-it." *walks-out* - 500 days of Summer

Cute.Sexy.Smart.Funny.

In a scene from He’s Just Not That Into You, Scarlett Johansson’s character asks Bradley Cooper’s to pick 2 of the following 4 words to describe her: Cute, Sexy, Smart, Funny.

The ideal being a combo of a physical and personality attribute, either Cute/Funny, Cute/Smart, Sexy/Funny, Sexy/Smart.

Where would you place yourself? Where do I fall? Sexy is not one of them I know....but, humor me with a decision :)

Slam tonight...and I cannot wait. Until next time....
