Torn

No, my lovely readers...not like in Natalie Imbruglia's song. Although just hearing it, it brings back memories.

Sometimes I wish I could divide myself and let myself do and be and go places...all at once, and all together, so I won't be bored, and would literally be on a fun adventure. But we all know, this is not going to happen. Ever.

Yes, I'm back from a mini vacay (sorry no pictures - I know I suck! Thank you!), and yes, I should not think about another trip but I am. No one can stop me. Well, my budget might but really, no one can. Granted, I'm thinking about another trip and it somehow makes me sad just knowing that when I hit that "book" button I won't be able to visit my friend once her baby's here. Remember my post about my friend getting married on April Fool's Day?! Yes, her little one's due any day now, and I'm excited. Officially her due date is on my birthday so technically I don't want to share my birthday with the little one, but it would be fun. And it's in three weeks from today which eeeeeeekkkk just makes me realize I'm gonna be a year older...well, a day but who's counting? I already see wrinkles on me. Lots and lots of them. I blame the sun, sunscreen or not, I blame the sun. And my mom's genes, and maybe some other genes I am not familiar with because I only know one side of the family! But I digress...

...today I am torn. Not just today but for most of the time I am torn between a few places I call home. Now, you may see home as the town you grew up in, or where you were born, or where you spend most years in...or just where you are in right now. I call home the place that has and is just everything I mentioned but at the same time gives me a sense of tranquility, passion, freedom, love, and something else I cannot put into words. It captures me every time I enter those places, and it leaves a hole when I am away for too long. Not noticeable at first, but after a while that hole really gets to me and bugs me. And then I am torn. And then I wish I could close my eyes and open them again and see myself surrounded by familiar scents, voices, and colors...being torn can be a fantastic feeling but can at the same be the worst possible scenario. If you never felt this way - be happy!!! I'm definitely sending you a hug. If you know the feeling, you get a hug from me, too. Of course!

It's Crazy...

 via

Gooood morning everyone!
Or good afternoon, or evening...wherever you are!

I am finally back to reality, back to my precious laptop and back with energy I suppose.
I took the liberty to ignore the internet for 3 1/2 days, schedule one post for Monday (whoopsie - but really, could not resist!), leave my book at home (I missed it!) and enjoy some fun days out of town. It wasn't anything special but it was fun. And now, back at home I'm overwhelmed with mail, e-mails, and blogs to catch up on. Moreover, I'm trying to get a hold of my cousin but she seems to be all over the place and I can't reach her. I may be going to visit her later this month and I need to make sure she's there and ready to see me. AND, a cute little box was waiting in front of my door when I got back about an hour ago. How awesome is this? A very early birthday present for me, from one my dearest!! I made up my mind to open everything because, well, I cannot wait. I asked for permission first so let's see what she answers. Though I am pretty sure to open everything tonight. Ha! Yes, I used to say it's bad luck to open presents before the event (especially on birthdays) but come on; I would have to wait 3 more weeks and that is no fun! And, I may not even be around so yeah, I'm gonna open it all tonight! End of story. ;)

And yes it is crazy...I haven't even opened my suitcase, but I'm already sitting in front of my computer! Help me! ;)

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Wordless Eye Candy

Happy Monday everyone.

Wordless or not, I'm joining Leeann's grand idea and share some eye candy again. We all agreed on this that some hot man candy is just what we need on a dull Monday! No? Yes.

So today, it is one dude you may or may not remember from certain TV shows, or movies and what not.Have you actually noticed? I never tell where you may know my eye candies from. I think it's not necessary; at least I think it isn't. And it makes us all try to remember where we know my hotties from. ;)

Anyways, hope your weekend was fantastic.

Enjoy my eye candy for today, heck this entire week.

Yum.

Recognize him?
Yes, Cam Gigandet.

This bad-boy wanna be is just oh so yummy, isn't he?
Sigh...

Have a fantastic day everyone!

My Love For Stripes and a few Dots

Wohoo Friday!
I am in a shopping mood today. Yes.
However, and if you've read this post, you know that I'm trying to not get too sucked into this world of fabulous colors, cuts, and cuteness. I'm trying really hard and so far I've been doing marvelous. Though it's been months, I am slowly feeling the urge again to go into certain stores and pick things I've been drooling over online...and try them and once they fit get them. Or just order them and see what happens. My credit cards are neatly put away and quite frankly I have no idea where they are. Better! Lucky me, huh?!

So, for today I thought I'm going to share some shopping fun with you all. Is that okay?! I think it is. 

Just items I've been drooling over the last week..mostly striped items and a few dots are seen, too. Hmmm...

...and since I'm doing so I'm also linking up with Kori over at Blonde Episodes and her weekly awesomeness called Fashion Friday.

How cute is the above swim suit? I'm soooo loving it!!

Or the following pieces?

Clearly I need a vacay soon...and that close to the beach!

But until that part of the world sees me again I am taking the following purse and walk through all kinds of big cities...in fabulous shoes of course. Preferably not striped or dotted. ;)

Have a fabulous Friday and an awesome weekend!!

I know Kori is for sure, her first novel got released today!
So excited for her!

Happy Thursday

Source: factsaboutyou.tumblr.com via my Pinterest

Somehow I woke up with the worst headache, worst nightmare in mind, and just other things that sort of ruined this beautifully sunny day. I am doing laundry now so that calms me and brings me back to normal, happy life.Yes, doing laundry calms me and makes me happy. I'm weird, don't tell me! ;)

Will be back tomorrow, maybe with some fashion post.
That always cheers me up!!!
