I love these......

My sister sent me a bunch of these today I figured since Thanksgiving is fast approaching I should post a few of these each day! Hope you enjoy!

Loving Thanksgiving is an art around my family! ;) Hope you enjoy yours!

:)

No matter what situations life throws at you...

no matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem...

 

Remember, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

 

 

 

You're laughing aren't you? 

that's good .......my job here is done!

Have a great day.

So cute

I love when friends send me cute emails.. and cute pictures.  Today I opened an email that had a few cute/funny pictures in them.

These two are my favorites.  They are just too cute!

                                  

Just Darling!

Don't bother me!

I love sleeping in.  Not being woke up by the phone, people, or life!  I love just being able to get up ... brush my teeth (a big thing for me I hate morning mouth) then being able to go back to bed.

Just lazy.. sleepy days where nothing matters and I don't have a thing to do.  I love laying there dozing on and off ... watching TV or listening to the radio.  Not being bothered by anyone (which doesn't happen too often but when it does I'm in Heaven) Me and AJ just cuddling... me trying to keep life out of my head. 

I love to relax (now that I've learned how!)

Even if I just get to sleep in past 9 ... but a whole lazy stay in bed day is the best.. especially when it's not a HAVE TO stay in bed day!  Funny when I have those I get bored and kind of panicky...with all those racing thoughts of what I could/should/would be doing.

 

Yep lazy days... AND when it rains!  Love those days!

soft lights

I love candles.  I am pretty much known as a candle freak.  I have so many candles I probably don't need the lights ever.

When my friends in AZ send me gifts like for Christmas, my birthday, even Easter they always send me a whole bunch of these candles that I can't get here. The smell of these are heavenly and it fills the whole place with the smell not just right by the candle.  They come in these cute little jars and once the candle is gone I can use for stuff... I'm going to be using them to make something for Christmas (yes I'm thinking THAT far ahead) I'm just not sure what to make with them but I have ideas poppin' all the time. 

I love the light of candles. It's soft and even if I'm not "with" someone it gives me a romantic feel.  Yep me and myself have romantic candle light dinners LMAO (kidding) I think everything looks better in candle light. 

I have never actually counted the number of candles I have around my house until I began to write this..  So I counted just the ones I can see in the room I'm in....in my den alone (which is really just a small nook off the living room) I have 19. 

I have many "favorite" ones but the sugar cookie and the peach ones are my two most favorites.

YUM!

Testing

Click here to hear music

Just checking to see if I still remember how to add music to an entry.  (Fingers crossed)

Music and Lyrics

No not the movie.  I'm very into music.  I often have favorite songs that I play over and over for days sometimes weeks.  Just the song or maybe that song and a couple other songs off the CD it's on.  Lately it's been "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie. 

Today I had a different station on that I haven't heard before... it was playing "older" songs.  I've heard this song "In the Air Tonight" before... many times. I've always liked it but for some reason it has so much more meaning to me... take that anyway you'd like.. I just like it.

So today that's my favorite song. I don't own it so I can't play it over and over.  I suppose I can ask my music friend ..who I swear has every song ever on his computer.. if he has it and he can send it to me and I can play it over and over tonight lol.

Here are the lyrics:

In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

What is Hell?

I know that seems like an odd subject line for a journal named what is love.. but I love this quote:

What is Hell?
I maintain that
it is the suffering
of being unable to love
    ~ Dostoevsky

Compliments of Big Brother 9 ;)

Dogs!

I love that commercial for the animal shelter.. now I'm not sure if it's just a local commercial or not.

There is this beautiful dog .. you see him in his cage. You see legs walking up to him, he gets up and is all happy... but  then they walk away.

Now I don't like the walking away part.. I love the dog! I want him! So I guess I don't love the commercial I love the dog.  The commercial breaks my heart.

I would adopt every animal there if I had a huge farm and the money to feed them all.

My heart is huge! ;)

Love is....

Understanding!

I don't need to say anymore then that for today! Everyone in my life knows what this means to me! ;)

 

Driven

I love the smell of Driven cologne by Avon.

OMG it's a men's fragrance but I would wear it! It smells so good.  I think it's the best men's cologne.  A lot of people like Axe (is that what it's called) that stuff makes my eyes water. I have very sensitive eyes and my smell senses seem to be heightened.. so some smells just kill me.

I could smell this stuff always.  I want every guy around me to wear it LOL.

I wonder if they will?

 

Snuggle vs smother lol

I love snuggle fabric softener. I put it everywhere.. on every other hanger in my closet.. under the cushions of my couches.  in my dresser drawers... under the smelling litter box.. on the bottom of the garbage can before I put a new bag in. yes sir.. my home smells like snuggle..I love that smell!! ~ and the little bear is cute too BONUS!

May I take this moment to thank the makers of Snuggle! ;)

interruption in the fun

Although I'm talking about things I love in this journal... I'm normally being on the silly side.  Today I need to be serious.

Tricia from  ~The Life of ME~   needs our love right now.  So when I say what is love..

Love is supporting your online friends when they need you most.

If you don't know her that's okay ... she's a wonderful person with a heart of gold!  She is someone I proudly call a friend.. but she's going through something right now so please if you will.. honor the "what is love" theme and go give her a hug!  You don't have to know someone to help .. no it won't take her pain away but it will show that we care.. we do care.. that's the thing JLand used to be a very caring place. So let's bring that back... Please stop by her journal even if it's just to say "I'm sorry you're going through this"

Thanks!

The games we play

I love pogo... I started playing on pogo a few years ago... it's not expensive but to some it is.

However, I have met the most wonderful people on that site.    It's a place where people like you just for  your personality.. They miss you when you've been playing in a room for awhile at the same time every night then you aren't there. 

Often I don't get around to playing the weekly badges but I have a couple friends that check to make sure and if they aren't being worked on they do them .. just so I get them.

Pogo is like a little family (not EVERY pogo play) but many. And once you get to know someone they become totally important to you.  We share our hopes, dreams and funny stories.  I laugh so much when I'm with my little pogo group.  Not often do we all get together in the same game room but when we do.. it's so fun and no one wants to leave... that's when I end up staying up so late.  There is someone from France I play with often and I've learned so much from her ... I've never been to France and it's so interesting to learn about it... I find that a lot from people on that site. I learn a lot, have fun, laugh.

Pogo yep.. the place where a group of strangers laugh and love like they've known each other forever! 

How many people play on pogo?  (would be a poll "do you play on pogo) but either I don't know how to do one or my computer is just not wanting me to do it LOL

Sticks like glue!

 

 

 

I not only love but am obsessed with post-it-notes... now I know there are people that have post it note obsessions. Funny when you think about it..yes sir.. I'm one of them.They come in all colors and sizes... and stick to everything.. Once I had one on the back of my leg all day and no one told me LOLOLOLOL... can't remember what it said but it was funny.

I love them although sometimes I can get a little disorganized by the amount of post it notes I use.  Sometimes I have post it's to remind me of other's.  Hey it's a circle thing..

Yes post-it-notes are a great thing in my life. 

 

peek a boo I see you!

I love playing peek a boo with babies (not just random babies although I have done that while standing in line) babies laugh and it's so cute.

Now on a different note...  feel free to peek at my Journal jar  I pimped a few great journals!

The Journal Jar

going 'round and 'round

I love circles.. How odd is that?

Well circles have no real beginning.. they never end and to me the middle of anything is the best part which is basically.. to me anyway.. what a circle is, one big middle ...

You can dance in a circle.. doodle circles... drive in a circle (in the snow).. pace in a circle... huddle and hug in a big group circle... sit in a circle.

Love it!

Watching you!!!

I love Big Brother.  Not just MY big brother.. but the show.

However, if they don't evict Natalie soon I'm going to shut that TV off and no longer be glued to it Tues/Wed and Sun.. Not to mention from 11 to 2 am for BB After Dark.

My favorite pairs are both gone now.. I decided I'm a Big Brother jinx and should cheer for the couple I least want to win.. who to pick who to pick.

I tried to add a poll but it keeps telling me there is an error.  It's a bad luck day for that then! hahahahahahaha

Punch!

I love fruit  Punch!! YUMMMY!!!!

I just drank a big glass of it.. I love the color, the smell and the taste. Nothing better on a blah day then a glass of fruit punch! Sometimes I even put it in ice cube trays and make fruit punch ice cubes to go in it! YES!!!
