THE NEW BLOG!

Dream chasing

minor confession: I have neglected "dreams" the blog for the past couple days... because I am chasing another dream.. aka- creating my new blog, a plus size blog. 

I will never abandon this little journal of mine. I always need an outlet to rant, and share, and feel like no one is listening and I can say whatever I damn well choooose, OH WAIT- that is my everyday life. 

Bear with me! 

and go after those dreams! 

SIDENOTE: Fashion Police is on right now.. the Halloween episode.. and Joan Rivers is doing a spoof on Suri Cruise and I am peeeeeeing my pantelones. Must. GO. watch.  (google it ASAP) 

Cowboy Cookies

YEEEE-HAW My little domestic goddess Ally had the best cookie recipe!

I recommend you search me down for this recipe.

DREAMING of warm cookies! 

This is a blog, NOT pinterest

I have decided I am so sick of blogs that people post pictures of things they didn't participate in or that aren't themselves. WHAT IS THE POINT? If I wanted to look at a picture of an outfit, I would go to a shipping website or the designers website.. I WANT TO SEE IT ON YOU-
or if you want to show me a living room you love, it better be your own, somewhere you visited, or be posted there for a reason.
SEE- I just unlocked the code-
Emily of cupcakesandcashmere.com might not be the most strikingly beautiful out of this world incredible life girl.. BUT, she posts pictures of herself, her life, her creations.. and posed or not, SHE IS LIVING IT, and it is real. We are getting to see HER.. not what she likes or a picture she found online. She took it, she lived it.

This seems so simple- but it's a revelation for me. If I wanna see things you like, inspire you, get ideas from you.. I will look at your pin board.. if you want to blog- and it is a lifestyle blog.. show me YOU.

That will be all.

Gone Readin'

You know those license plates? "GONE FISHIN'"... I never got it. I GET IT.

When I am snuggled up with a good book.. or a loaded DVR for that matter.. I want a sign on the door that says "GONE TO REALITY TV SHOW HEAVEN.."

AKA- F OFF. I am in utopia. and YOU are about to ruin my pure happiness I am feeling.

I always forget how much I love to read until I get back into the groove.. it is like working out, it is so hard to start getting back into the swing (maybe this is my own personal pep talk) but once you do, it is addicting.

Ok, easy read recs:

These are the two books that came before "SEX AND THE CITY".. so basically honestly, could not put them down. 

then you want to read everything by the author so I moved onto-

took me awhile to really be like thinking about this one, you know "I cannot wait to get in bed and read" or those conversations you have with yourself about the characters in the book you are reading like they are your best friend or worst enemy.. but once you give this one a chance, it is one of those!

 

I also read two of the Chelsea Handler books on vacay.. honest truth- I laughed, A LOT.. but I also decided this woman is so crude and so far beyond anything even an ounce socially acceptable that it maybe isn't that funny... like the drug induced, dangerous, not so funny stories.. I couldn't help but judge myself a little for buying and reading the books. 

I get it, stop judging me for my intellectual reads.. I find enjoyment in these things, the same way I find enjoyment in watching Gossip Girl and the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion in the same night, while debating if I have it in me to dive in the Kardashian four hour wedding special... 

I couldn't get myself to dedicate four hours, I will though, don't doubt it for a minute.

Gone Dreamin' 

Reflecting

“On Rosh Hashanah it is written and on Yom Kippur it is sealed”




Hawaii was magic. 


Landed just in time for The High Holidays to start... I am trying to better myself and step back for a minute to truly try to reflect. 


I'll let you know how it goes. 

ALOHA

bringing the spirit back up...

Flyin' off for our second honeymoon, on Wednesday! ALOHA!!! 

DREAM (come true)!!!

Coco

The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's.  ~Mark Twain

            Dogs' lives are too short.  Their only fault, really.  ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull 

My heart breaks for my mom, who truly, was beyond the best mother any dog or kid could ever ask for. She dedicated herself to COCO 24 hours a day for the first year of his life, and did the same for the last 2 years of his life. Maybe that is why we were so lucky to have the perfect dog, because she truly put everything into him. After anyone passes, we have a joke that they become a "saint". You no longer remember their bad/negative qualities, and they become only a beyond realistic positive influence on your life.. for coco, there is no  stretching of the truth to make him a "saint" in our memories, he truly was.

I had always anticipated what this time would be like, when we lost coco, and to be honest.. it is more heart breaking then I could have ever imagined. 

I dream that everyone has a dog like coco, that is a true member of their family.
