holy greek orthodox!

tonight i went to the most beautiful church i have ever been to. who knew it would be in irvine that i would be so emotional in the presence of god. i truly felt blessed and shocked at the same time that me, the girl that used to be so against the church would find solace inside the beautiful church walls of St. Paul. I couldn't help but stare at the 25 ft mosaic of mary as well as the stained glass dome that stood above with all of the saints. even if you are not a christian, or even a religious person, I honestly believe that anyone can find some beauty in what took place tonight. I kept nudging David the whole time telling him that this is where i want to get married, but alas, i would have to convert away from my roman catholicism to the Greek Orthodox church. Looks like I have some googling to do.

yes please.

mom and dad, ya should have had me about 20 years earlier.

prada next to godliness?

"The pope ... does not wear Prada, but Christ." That's the statement by the Vatican's newspaper in response to years of speculation that Pope Benedict XVI wears red shoes made by the fashion house Prada. Above, the pontiff wears the loafers in question during his U.S. trip in April.



Benedict wears a red velvet cape trimmed in white ermine during his end-of-year speech to cardinals at the Vatican in December 2005. In 2007, Esquire magazine named the 81-year-old Roman Catholic leader "accessorizer of the year" and included him on its best-dressed list.
genius.

ichat'n

oh well. prune doesn't work for everyone i suppose.

sicky icky

5k

so i had to tap into my savings account. i was very reluctant to do so but there are a lot of things coming up that require some $$$. my whole family has decided to sign up for the disneyland 5k in august and i am sure it will be loads of fun but it also requires some $$ and me being up and ready to run at 7am. yikes. i am currently consumed in reading 'The Divine Nature Exists Through Itself' and am taking a bit of a break as i honestly think my brain hurts. with that said this photo is good for a laugh.

disturbing

thankful for...

poolside

today was spent at my sisters house swimming in her pool and watching a Mr. Bean film which gave me a really nasty headache that refuses to go away.  davey is on a fast for the next couple of weeks and has hopped back on the veg train with me and is eating my amy's teriyaki rice bowls.  

as it is quite late in the evening i am looking forward to getting into bed and relaxing in my freshly purchased 600 thread count sheets from target.  they were on special today for $34 yewwww! 

royale is spending the night tonight and I am expecting her arrival within the next couple of hours, but I am as equally excited that in two hours time FRASIER is on! Davey and I are lifetime fanatics, except he isn't so much into the lifetime movies as I am. Oh how i love those cutter/eating disorder films.  

when i get married....

you're bound to see me in one of these...

going for google

within the past few months I have been brain storming different ideas for jobs.  An idea that was actually presented to me by my brother of all people was the idea of working for a company like google.  So I got to thinking, and ironically enough got to 'googling' and found that good ol' google is a pretty good place to be.  I think around mid July, I will begin my efforts with google.  I would take any position I could get really, as I don't think I believe in many companies the way I do with them. I think I tell people to google something at least once a day! Perhaps it's just meant to be.  

(th)inspiration

Where has this been all my life? I will be molding into this in the coming months.

 

As for this...well we all have our off days don't we?

evolution

somehow out of all the countless things in my life that change so frequently and so quickly the one think that I can rely on is being sick.  yes thats right i am sick again. that's me bed side watching house hunters and condo scoping on the internet. it has been a few weeks since I have began saving up and I am not doing too badly right now. I have saved up a decent amount and it seems like so much of what my folks said about money when I was young was so undoubtedly true.   While I have been sick I have had plenty of time to think about my life and its direction and ultimately the path that I would like to take.  It seems rather strange that at this point in my life I really spend a lot of time missing people.  My Nana Jimmie being a major person whose absence affects me, I think about her everyday and dream about the day that we will rejoin again outside of this place.  The second person being someone that I don't think feels quite happy with me after several years of back and forth friendship.  It's weird that I miss her like family considering I haven't seen her in three years. I know that my heart will always hold Kelly dear to me regardless of distance or circumstance.  Through this realization that I actually miss people that are not just dead, I am trying to make myself more accepting and less judgemental.  I know i'm a real bitch sometimes and people don't like me right away, but that's not how it has to be.  I will pay for my mistakes but I will also work very hard to make myself open to everyone so that not everyone can just discard me as a bitch or as a snob.  with that said i have a few people in my life that for one reason or another have stuck around me and remained my friend or they are stuck with me as a family member.  i am very blessed to have them and very appreciative that i have the best memories of my life with them.
