Just the Way You Are

Ok, I'm sure you know who sings the song I made as my post title.

Come on, think really hard.

You pretty much hear this song every time you walk into a store

or turn on the radio now a days.

That's right! Bruno Mars!

I was just browsing online and found a bunch of really cute pictures of this guy.

(like the one below.....makes me happy.)

I don't think he is like a total "hottie" or anything, but he is pretty photogenic. And he writes great songs. (some of them) I thought I would give you a list of my favorite 4 songs of his.

~Count On Me~

This song is really fun and cute. It not necessarily has to do with love and romance either.

I consider it more of a friendship song.

It's great for slide shows and stuff too.

~Talking to the Moon~

Ah, yes. This one is strange, and rather sad. But I love it.

You can just hear the passion in his voice.

Makes me instantly daydream too.

~Marry You~

Ha, this one is strange too.

(his songs are just different period...maybe that's what makes him so likable)

The message isn't a really good one, but I just consider it a fun song,

and I love the way they use the wedding bells in the music and rhythm.

Kinda makes me want to dance also..... Watch out now!!

And finally..........

~Just the Way You Are~

Oh yes, instant happiness.

Yes, I know this song is over played major!

But it just has so many memories for me.

When ever this song comes on I instantly drop whatever conversation I am having,

or whatever chore I am doing and start singing.

So if you're having a bad day and don't feel good about yourself, this is the song for you!

I also like the song Grenade, but let's not go there. ;p

Here are some funny stuff I found here.

Kinda makes me laugh.

This is my favorite. :)

You gotta admit...it's pretty much true.

Love is in the Air

Here are some funny quotes about love that I found.

I don't know the author of any of them.

Enjoy.

Girl: im so fat and ugly

Boy: what did you just say?

Girl: im fat and ugly

Boy walks away....

Girl goes up to him later and says what did i do wrong?

Boy: you lied about the most beautiful thing i see everyday

Him: Hey

You (to yourself): Oh my Gosh.. he just texted me.. I wonder what he wants.. maybe he just wants to talk... maybe he's mad at me, i mean all he said was hey... I should just answer him, i don't want to keep him waiting...well maybe i'll wait another 3 minutes so he thinks i'm busy... no, that's too obvious. Could this mean he's into me? Or is he just bored? Either way is fine, i mean i don't care if he likes me back. who said that i even liked him?! i'm just gonna text him back now. Should i reply hi or hey? or hey with three y's? no that's stupid. 2 y's works. He won't know if i did it on purpose or if it was just accidental. Okay. I got this.Breath in, breath out.

You: Heyy

Dear Boys, We love to wear your jackets, love it when you hug us from behind, love it when you say i love you in front of everyone... ...And have best friends who will break ur necks if you break our hearts. Sincerely, Girls

So, can you relate with any of them? :p

Warning! Dangerous Pictures

A friend sent me this link to a video that talks about the danger of posting pictures taken by a cell phone or some other GPS enabled device on the internet. Take a peeky... it's rather annoying.

But that is why I use a real camera, and not my phone for taking pictures.

**********************

I am so tired... RC5 had a nice long practice this evening and I am pooped!

I hope to post some more artwork... as soon as I have time to draw something. ;p

Hope you have a great Tuesday!

~Winter~

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.

~Edith Sitwell

Winter came down to our home one nightQuietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, And we, we were children once again.

~Bill Morgan, Jr. Brew me a cup for a winter's night.For the wind howls loud and the furies fight; Spice it with love and stir it with care, And I'll toast our bright eyes,my sweetheart fair. ~Minna Thomas Antrim

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn

~ Hal Borland

Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn.

~Marche Blumenberg

Hope you all are having a wonderful winter.

The Beginning of A Magical Moment

Ok, I'm gonna be totally honest. I HEART DISNEY!!! It makes me feel so happy inside! I guess maybe it's cause I'm flooded by all these happy memories. Anyways, since I love Disney so much....I thought I would post "A Magical Moment" once a week.....just where I put some magical Disney pictures. :) Almost every picture I will put on here is from this wonderful blog called thedisneyprincess.tumblr.com it is truly amazing. I couldn't stop looking at the pictures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way...how excited are you about the newest Disney movie coming out? Tangled looks like the type of movie I really like. Check out the trailers on Youtube!!! I think I might get some friends together and dress up as princesses to go see it when it comes out! (we did it for the Princess and the Frog too! My sister was the frog!!)

Photography Inspiration

I am so inspired by photography. They give me such good ideas for photoshoots. Here are some photos that I love. It would be so much fun to get together with some friends and give some of these tecniques a try.

These two would be a blast to do with friends. For this first one...depending on how many friends you have....you could spell anything you wanted!

With this one...I would make some changes. I don't like the way some of the people have their hands. I would have everyone do a peace sign, or hold hands.

For some strange reason, I love pics of people jumping. Especially when it's a silhouette.

I thought this one was really creative. I love the sun beam and how it makes everyone a silhouette. And the umbrellas add a splash of color. Plus...umbrellas when it's sunny. How cool is that???

I would love to do something like this at my wedding. It just looks like they're having so much fun! I like fun wedding photos.....that way they aren't all mooshy gooshy. ;) And finally.....balloons. AHHHH!!! I Love Them! They just make me happy inside! And hello!! It's so easy to take pics with them!!! I mean, they're cheap and they look good anytime, anywhere. (Why haven't I taken some pics with them before???) I thought it was so cool how the only thing colorful in this pic are the balloons. Well, that's it for now. Hope I inspired you to mabye go out and take some pics. I know they inspired me! Have a great day ya'll.

Alice in Wonderland Kick

Ok so as you all probably know...I am on this Alice in Wonderland kick. So, I was surfing the web and noticed how several other people are on the same kick. There were Alice in Wonderland photos everywhere, and all kinds too! Here are some of my favorites.

Alice.....Manga style!

Another Manga style....so cute!

I just love this quote!

I wish I had books that looked like this.

From the movie :)

Which ones are your favs?

RC5 Houseboat Adventure Pictures

Here are some pics from RC5's Houseboat Adventure! If you want to see more.....head on over to http://www.rc5singers.com/. :) Emi and I tried to improve our photography skills. (note the *tried* lol) watcha think???? Emi took this one. Every night there was a gorgeous sunset. A pic I took of Beth and Katelyn while on a canoe adventure. I actually took this one of myself. It's hard being the photographer....because you're never in the pictures! I took this one of Emily Lynn doing an awesome job paddling. I thought it looked like a shot from a movie. One I took of Emi, Mom, and Beth. I really liked the color of the water in this one. Emi took this one herself. I think it's her hand too.....thought it looked really pretty. Once again I took this one of myself, by myself. I look kinda mean...so I added the hearts to lighten it up a bit. lol Emily Lynn, her little brother, and Emi goin paddle boatin. I can't decide which one I like best.... this one..... or the next one... I'm not sure who took this one....but I was playing around with a zooming effect. :) Me with the gorgeous lake behind. AAAhhhhhh....
