I have been neglecting my lovely blog and I apologize. I will be posting my last haireography very soon and then I must come up with a new idea! I'll try to make it creative. I have so much to do this semester and am revving up to be a Super Woman!! I start working out again on Tuesday, homework is about to start drowning me again, One Act auditions are next week, and after that Juilliard auditions... yikes!! And then Math IA's, World Lit. papers, World Topics IA's then testing then more testing then graduation then Summer then college OH MY GOD!!
Okay. I will not let myself get overwhelmed.
I'm actually quite excited about everything :]
Well, that's all for tonight, just a little blurb.
Sweet dreams loves!

Never Thought of It That Way...

“Get off the scale! You are beautiful. I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when life challenges you. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!”

-Steve Maraboli

Two glorious and beautiful and wonderful little bird posted this on their blog and inspired me once again :] Three guesses who. 

Since it's Christmas Break, I've been allowing myself to be very lazy and indulgent. I honestly haven't even gained any weight (I stepping onto the beast just this morning, and still saw the same, daunting number) But the number felt bigger than it usually does. Probably because I'm amping myself up for starting to work out again. But the thought never occurred to me that my scale absolutely cannot measure anything else other than my mass. Zilch. And I'm a hell of a lot more than that stupid three digit number. So! I've decided to make a list (I just love lists, don't you?) of all the wonderful things about myself that my scale can't measure. (keep in mind, I'm allowing myself to be very vain right now)

1. My sexy curves.

2. My unique coloring. (dark dark hair, light skin and beautiful blue eyes)

3. My unending compassion and empathy for others.

4. How deeply I feel things.

5. My absolutely AMAZINGLY WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL PERFECT friends :]

6. The magic I feel when I open a new book.

7. The way my family interacts.

8. The look in my dog's eyes when I've hit just the right spot while I'm petting her.

9. How loudly I laugh at the simplest of things.

10. The love I have for my art.

11. My bravery.

12. Did I mention my friends?

13. My ability to love just about everyone unconditionally.

14. My intelligence.

15. The way I smile when I (finally) find a boy I'm enamored with, and him with me.

16. How obsessed with/lost in I get into great stories (currently-The Hunger Games)

17. How much music can touch my soul.

18. The way I snuggle with my mommy.

19. The way my daddy hugs me tight.

20. The way I can fight with my sister and slam doors and yell, and yet ten minutes later be ready to make up and go 

magazine-ing in Barne's and Noble's.

There. A list of twenty amazing things that my scale can never measure. What's on your list?
