=my favorite things=

Got this from my buddy Melissa. Here are a list of her favorite things.

Now, for my 2009 list!

Slipper boots! I love mine and wear them ALL the time! MAC eye shadow. This color even...stays on all day and makes my eyes POP. Everyone should own at least one MAC eye shadow! A sexy pair of snake skin pumps, pointy toe of course. I have a brown pair, but would LOVE to have them in green!
I am obsessed with my red purse. Makes me feel amazing to carry it around. GET ONE!

A good book that makes you think and keep guessing the entire time.A comfy bathrobe! I wear mine ALL THE TIME!
Leaves Candle from bath and body works. The best scent ever!

There you have it! A few of my favorite things!

=best friends=

There is one thing I’ve notice about Hailey in the past few weeks. She has become my best friend. When she was going through her terrible twos, I called my mom to cry to her about it. Complaining about her tantrums, not understanding why they were happening and telling her that I didn’t think I could handle it anymore. In one of our conversations, she told me, “sweetie, it’s just a phase. After this one is over, she’ll become your best friend”. At the time, I didn’t think that was possible. There was no light at the end of the tunnel for me…or maybe there was, but I just saw it as the next train coming. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hailey and we had some fun together in between tantrums, but I never thought that our relationship would become what it has. She makes me laugh, tells me unbelievable stories (really…unbelievable, such an imagination), we play princesses, she shares every toy, food and lip gloss with me, gives me random kisses on my forehead and randomly tells me she loves me and thinks I’m pretty. My mom was right, like usual. I’m having the time of my life with Hailey. I love our time together and love the days we have just the two of us to do nothing but play, imagine and snuggle. I'm loving where we are in our relationship. I just hope we can continue to grow closer in the years to come.

=the tenth circle=

Recently, I've started reading again. It is something I have always enjoyed but never really made time for. I have found that it relaxes me and helps me forget about what's going on in my own life and focus on the lives of the characters. It all started with the Twilight Series. Lame, yes I know, but that's when I realized that I love to read. My book list since Twilight consists of:

The Last Song - Nicolas Sparks

Dear John - Nicolas Sparks

The Time Traveler's Wife

My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult

I would highly recommend the last two books listed. By far the best books I've read in a long time.

My current read is The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. One thing I've noticed about this particular author is that she is surprising. My Sister's Keeper constantly kept me intrigued because I never knew what was coming next. The Tenth Circle is doing the same. It's not my usual read, that's for sure. My normal read are romance books...of course. Girls love romance :) Anywho, this author amazes me. I can't really grasp how someone can think the way that she does. Amazing.
