An Ode to Cascada

The mute bug has caught me again, but I'm okay with this because this blog is not my professional job and just a silly hobby that I never thought I'd enjoy doing.  Blogging REALLY is so weird, but this isn't new news as every other blogger has said those exact words at least some point in their blogging lives. Anyway, I really don't know what the point of this paragraph is so I'm going to nip it in the butt now.

Cascada, she's so wise, isn't she?  She has gave us some of the best words of wisdom, let's review shall we?

Don't read those statements and tell me you haven't applied one of them to your life lately.  If you didn't you're lying. She talks about love, being single, partying and basically #YOLOing.  I mean, we all have felt this way at one point in our lives, haven't we?  I'm currently in the YOLO phase.  Instead of Yes Man, call me Yes Woman.  I'm just being a little Lizzie McGuire and saying "Why not?" to everything and anything.  I don't know what the hell happened but I'm just trying to make the most out of the limited time on this lovely planet I have.  A little morbid, I know, but a lot of common sense too.  Why not take that trip to St. Lucia you've been wanting to do? Go kayaking this weekend.  Take that extra vacation time and go to Vegas. Go strawberry picking. Have that one (or more) extra beer, who cares about calories? If you are a blogger you're most likely working it off at the gym anyway since we love ourselves the cutest work out gear, and documenting our runs with Map My Run app ;)

So, the point of this post, is to let you all know that I'm YOLOing at the current moment, and nothings gonna stop me now!

personalized license plates?

This is not my car.  But I was sitting behind it at a traffic light on my way into work this morning.

But let's step back a minute...You know the drill: Wake up (usually on the wrong side of the bed), slump into the bathroom to fix that rat's nest of hair on your head, brush your teeth, slap on some face paint, pack your lunch and run out the door.

Well, that's the way for me at least.

A lot of times I wake up grouchy because I don't feel like leaving my cozy bed (especially being it's so cold outside!), driving an hour to work only to walk in dealing with stupid shit like changing my boss' printer cartridge or find that my computer doesn't want to load Microsoft Office properly.  Why am I (most of us) like that?  I mean, what is so damn hard in waking up and saying "Thank you, I get to spend another day on this [lovely <--yeah rite] earth" instead of  "OMFG LEAVE ME ALONE".  

This simple little personalized license plate shed some light in my life this morning.

I should be thankful that I wake up each morning as a healthy individual.  I am living. I have a husband. Two cats that LOVE ME (or I love them more), I have a job, and a means of transportation everyday, I can paint my nails any color I want (lol really, did I write that?), dress how I want, friends & family who are there for me... you know the list goes on and on.

In the words of Ferris Bueller:

Seriously, isn't that true though?

I really need to start living and less complaining. After all, LIFE IS GOOD.
