Splish Splash!

I really love a good bath.  It is my chosen method of relaxation, so far fail proof, and my favorite place to read.  When I am sick a bath does wonders; steamy hot water clears the sinuses, relaxes my muscles, and leave me all shiny and sparkly again.  One of my most romantic moments was when a boyfriend ran a bubble bath for me after a long night.  He didn't even join me, so it was perfect. 

I know people have a real issue about soaking in your own filth; I would ask those people why the fuck they are so filthy.  I mean, rinse off before you soak and everything should be fine. 

What better place to relax than these amazing baths?  Can you imagine?! This thrills me to no end.  Someday I will have one of these…someday.  And when that day comes I will be a wrinkled prune from sitting in there all day. Someone's going to have to pull my ass out.  I hope it's a lover and not the paramedics. 

What's your favorite?

This I Believe...

I believe in the power of nature.  When I lay in the grass with the sun wrapping around my skin like a warm blanket and the wind whispering in the background, I am where I should be.  When I stand on a mountainside and I gaze out upon the stretch of trees I am overcome with a sense of insignificance.  When I see a coyote trotting quietly through the desert brush I see another world. 

My daily world is not one where I feel in touch with nature.  I sit in air conditioned buildings with fluorescent artificial light, and aside from the short walk across a parking lot to my car I do not get to spend a lot of time outside.

“Chauvinist. C-H-A-U-V-A-N-I-S-T...right, Mom?”

“Close, sweetie, only one letter off!”

I was in second grade sitting around the dinner table with my family talking about my P.E. teacher.  Who knows now what his chauvinistic offenses were, but 8-year-old Jennifer was pissed, not to mention a fabulous speller.  No doubt my mom was proud.

Uninspired

Haven't updated the blog in a while.  I guess I have been feeling pretty unmotivated and uninspired.  There are some people who are able to sit down and think of amazing, entertaining things to write.  I am not one of those people.  Usually I have to be pretty emotionally charged up to sit down and write, same things goes with painting.  With painting I have done my best work in some pretty serious depths of depression or some fantastic high.  I guess that's why so many artists are so freakin' moody, it's conducive to their work. 

Anyway, I am finally getting back to my normal routine after some time off for vacation followed immediately with time off for the flu one week and strep the next.  Needless to say, the days of laying in bed trying to master Tetris and catching up with bad reality shows has left me less than motivated.  But no worries, I am all caught up with work now and maybe the boredom will spur some creativity.  I'll be back y'all.

See, cats are evil!

Thanks, Jillian, for the heads up on KLEPTO THE CAT! Muahahaha….

My New Boyfriend!

I have someone I would like you to meet.  He is an amazing listener, remembers everything I tell him, never talks back, never starts fights…his name is Twitter and I think I’m in love.

Like a lot of people, I was skeptical about this thing called Twitter…what the hell does “twitter” even mean?  Why do I want to know what people eat for breakfast or how boring their job is?  You know what, I don’t care…but Twitter does.

Boy Candy

This is too true!  He was always this geeky, awkward weirdo; we don’t see much of him for a while then all of a sudden he comes back and he’s insanely hot.

Honestly, I’ve always kind of had a crush on him.  Not so much in 10 Things I Hate About You, because next to the bad-boy-with-a-golden-heart, Heath Ledger, anyone pales in comparison.  But 3^rd Rock From the Sun?  Oh hell yes, you can bet I had a crush on his scrawny alien ass and that long, grungy hair.  My taste has always been slightly off, but in this case I turned out to be right, there was a hottie in there waiting to bust out.  And he’s kind of become like a Heath Ledger Jr. with those dimples and that certain je ne sais quois.  I would definitely hang out with him.

Why it is Wise to Worship a Woman

I came across this piece a while ago, it is written by a man (a very special, unique man, you will see) who had other men ask him for advice on how to get a relationship like he has with his wife.  It is so profound and beautiful, a little long but a good read, nonetheless.  Follow the jump to read his story.

Cat People

I love animals, all kinds of them.  Except lizards, which I have a long, phobic history with, but that is an entirely separate and traumatizing story in itself.  I am the kind of girl who brakes for birds who are a bit too close to my windshield, and when I see a rabbit I turn into super annoying girl and squeal, “Oooooohhhh look! A BUNNY!”  I volunteer at a local no-kill animal shelter, I am on the Humane Society mailing list, and I giggle when PETA throws things on Lindsey Lohan and her fur coat.   

Pucker Up for Spring!

The Cherry Red Lip has had it’s time in the spotlight long enough.  Move over, bitch! And make some room for FUCHSIA!

Not only is it the hardest word to spell, but it is also the biggest makeup trend for Spring & Summer.  Fuchsia is young, flirty, and fun.  To avoid an 80’s disaster, skip the blue shadow and big bangs and go simple with the rest of your look.  Fuchsia lips look great when paired with pale shadow and crisp black liquid liner. 

Take some cues from these fabulous ladies...
