Likey the new background and colors?

I DO! I hated the old generic background, so I found a new one! I like this one, the simplicity and the simple pattern in the back ground. I love the salmon-ish background but it was hard to match font colors with it. I think these will work.

So my car, Sonny, her breaks went out yesterday. They had been griding for about two weeks now and finally yesterday they snapped. Literally. The front right break pad snapped and fell out of my car. Yikes! Luckily though Brandon did a temporary fix. He changed the pads and this week (today or tomorrow) we are going to get my rotors changed. Grr...I hate car things! Poor Sonny she is covered in bird shit and broken.

<--Brandon with my former break pad.

My car got covered in bird poop in just one night!            -->

Anyhooo....So after I posted the post on John Travolta, it was announced that their family is growing! Congratulations to him and his wife and their daughter Ella. I really like them. They deserve this! Read the article on People.com!

Tonight is the season finale of Grey's Anatomy! I am so nervous, but really excited! I am  not sure if I will get to watch it or if it will be Tivo'ed. But still I can't wait to view it! Also my other favorite show One Tree Hill...which I have not been watching for about a year now, because my class schedule has interfered had its season finale last night! It had one crazy ending, I can't wait to catch up on the season to to find out what really has been happening!

And does this image just make your heart skip a beat...Mine sure is skipping! Just one more week left!!

PS...Tuesday night I had chocolate milk with dinner, Wedesday morning I had chocolate milk and this morning I had cholocate milk! YAY for me!  But I have only played Wii Fit once. Boo. :(

Oceanography

When I was little I wanted to grow up to be a lot of different things, one job aspiration I had was to be an oceanographer. I have a strong love for the beach but I am terrified of sea things! I do enjoy a fun dolphin when I see them (I love swimming with them too!) I even love to pet the occasional sting ray...but other than that I'm not big on things that swim. Fish are gross and they have teeth and I know they think its funny to swim past your leg. It's not funny, not at all. Every time I'm at the beach I can't help but be a little scared of what is lurking in the water below me. The five times I have snorkeled in my life, last time I was 17, every time I ended up in tears. SOBBING tears. Probably because I have a mean little brother and dad that thinks it is funny to scare me. Well it's not. I'm a baby, I admit it.

So i guess it's a good thing my dream of being an oceanographer died after my first interaction with a jelly fish.

But I read this article, typical I know, on Yahoo! about the ocean. It's about how Big the ocean is. Apparently it's a lot smaller than originally presumed. I found it interesting. Who knew! The ocean is a vast body with lots still to be searched and discovered! But good thing I am not studying to be an oceanographer, I don't want to do all that searching!

This poor guy,

My heart literally sank when I saw this headline on People, "John Travolta's Dogs Tragically Killed At Maine Airport." Poor John!!! He can seriously not catch a break. First his son, now his dogs. So so sad. Go HERE to read the article. Its pretty brief.


On another note, let me mention how fantastic my boyfriend is....today he bought and made me hot pockets for lunch...it's the little things people! And now he is doing my laundry while I am at work. :) Isn't he the best? I just love him. Thanks Boyfriend.

Another post today....

So I read a lot of blogs...I'm talking a lot of blogs. I said in my very first post that they inspire me. They truly do. I just got done looking through a blog that I found through another blog (one I read on a regular basis). And I am inspired.

Life is so sweet, fragile, and short. It can be taken away or altered at any moment. LIVE IT. LIVE LIFE!!

I feel like I am constantly worrying or complaining or not satisfied. I am always wanting more. More friends, more dates, more money, more clothes, more more more!

If I would just stop moaning and groaning and open my eyes to see all the gifts around me, I would not need more.

So consider my eyes opened. I am going to work on my complaining and constantly feeling sorry for myself. So what if a few things in life didn't work out. So what if high school sucked, I am graduating college next year, high school no longer matters. So what if a few friends turned out to be not so friendly. That doesn't matter.

You know what does matter....

I made the Dean's List this semester (waahhhooo!!). I have two parents that love each other, my brother and I very very very much. I have two grandmothers and one grandfather that are amazing. I have pets...Peyton and Eli (dogs) and my bunny Cooper (all three Manning brothers, clever.).  My baby brother is graduating high school in a couple of weeks. I have had this fantastic boy crazy in love with ME for five years. I have a job. I am healthy. I am young. I am happy.

Time to live life. Yesterday I said "here's to a healthy summer," Today, here's to a healthy and happy summer. A summer remembering the good in life. Loving life. Living life. Not worrying, not complaining, not crying. Here is to life!

Happy beautiful amazing life!

EEwwww

Remember my hate of milk...well just read an article that shows the benefits of drinking chocolate milk three times a day...and it helps loose weight (belly fat) and leads to a healthier life style. Guess chocolate milk will be added to my diet.

Check out the yahoo! article below.

Drink Chocolate Milk!

To a healthy summer!

Today marks day 1 of my step towards a healthier lifestyle. 

I am going to eat less chips and more fruit. More water and less Pepsi. I am going to be active every day! 

I am going to play Wii Fit and do Jillian Michaels Yoga video. By no means am I fat or need to loose any weight (well maybe a little weight. 5 lbs.)...but I do need to do some major toning up! I have ZERO muscle...ZERO!! I could not even do a push up the other day. Sad. So here goes nothing. 

Here is to a healthy summer! 

My addiction in full swing.

So Thursday nights are my favorite nights. Like I have mentioned before I am a total TV Junkie. And Thursday nights are the BEST nights for my TV addiction. Plus they are all on ABC..so I never even have to change the channel. I am so lazy!

The first show on my list is Flash Forward. A really fantastic new show. Its really exciting and I never know what is going to happen next! But I have heard a rumor that it's getting cancelled...I sure hope not!

After Flash Forward is Greys! Next week is the TWO HOUR season finale, and it (as always) looks really intense! AHH...there is a shooter in the hospital and they have positioned the preview to make it seem like someone will die!!!!! AHHHHH!!!

Then we have Private Practice! I love this show, mainly because of Taye Diggs, so sexy and I think Kate Walsh is one of the sexiest females around. Mostly because of her Bad Ass attitude. Love it! And last night was the season finale (I hate season finales!!) Someone always dies, RIP Dell, and its always really sad! But some good things happened too. Hopefully next season will continue on with a really steam love affair between Addison and Sam! That would be perfect! :)

Well Brandon came over to hang out last night, not realizing it was Thursday. needless to say he was less than thrilled about my TV night. Because of course there is no talking allowed during show time. He was not happy. Guess we'll have to do something fun tonight. Maybe go to the movies? Who knows!

Happy Happy Friday!
