I found it!!!

So I love Cartoons... A lot... This happens to be one of my most favorites. I racked my brain all day long trying to remember what it was called, I even called my Dad to see if he remembered.

Alas, here it is! Take 7 minutes and 33 seconds to enjoy, and remember a part of your youth.

I also got a kick out of watching a Mickey Mouse Christmas tonight too. I love Donald Ducks snowball war with Huey, Duey and Louie. I serioulsy think these old cartoons top any of the new ones. I'm just sayin'...

Love, Love, Lovin'

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I have a pretty new blog design, and I LOVE IT! I hadn't found anything I liked, because, well, nothing seemed like me. However, when I stumbled upon this little gem, I was in Love.

Thank you so much to Design Girl!

Check out her lovelies for yourself!





Tonight. We blog!

I have to say, I am ever so inspired by some truly amazing women and their blogs. I have stumbled upon a few while perusing the Internet, and now I am hooked. Some are witty, some are insightful, some are prayerful. All are interesting. All are inspiring. They make me want to be a better woman, and someday a great mom. They make me want to re-examine my relationship with God, and well, everyone.

It truly is an amazing time we live in. Someone can hop on the Internet, and create free blog with virtually no Internet savvy whatsoever.They can write about anything that comes to their minds. Some of them gather cult followings. Some gather none. I at the moment have five. Hey, I am ever so grateful for those five people though! I am so flattered because, I have 3 new followers since yesterday, which I know was only two and now five. You have to start somewhere right?

Here are a few of my favorite blogs, hope you get as much from them as I do!

Happy Grey's Anatomy Day Everyone! (that's Happy Thursday to you common folk)

Love,

I heart Shutterfly. Just sayin'

Happy December everyone! Can you believe we are in our 12th month! I have to give a quick birthday shoutout to my "baby" brother. He turned 21 today! Love you John John!!

Ok, seeing as it is December, that means a lot of thing's Christmas, Hanukkah (Happy First Night btw!), snow, and.... drum roll please.... Christmas Cards. Now, I happen to be a very vain creature. Very vain indeed. I have to say that in this fine year of our Lord 2010, I have taken oh, I would say maybe 5 pictures of myself that I actually like how I look. Pathetic I know, but like I said I am vain. The hunt for the Great Griswold Family Christmas Tree, sorry I mean Card is now on.

Thankfully, I think I have found a photo that I can live with, AND Shutterfly has provided some seriously cute card designs this year!  

Here are a few of my choices!

I like.

I like my beer cold. I like my sheets flannel. I like my fish grilled. I like my music loud. I like my shoes colorful. I like my earrings big.

And why shouldn't I? Isn't it more fun to wear pink shoes rather than black? Isn't funner to dance to loud, good music?

I don't like to run. I want to though. I will like to run. Someday. Maybe tomorrow.

I believe in Emily Post

I am an old fashioned woman. I love having my chair pulled out, and my doors opened. I enjoying having my honey pay the bill from his wallet with a debit card that is identical to the one in my wallet. I think you should send thank you notes, and remember birthdays. I think that you should never include wedding registry information on your wedding invitation, and that you should say '"Bless You" when someone sneezes. I think that even if you don't like someone you should be polite. I think that you should respect your elders, not because of what they have done, but yes that too, but because they are your elders. I also think you are not born with manners, you are taught them. I also think you should teach manners by example. There for, I say "excuse me" when I sneeze, and "please pass the salt", rather than "pass me the salt".

I believe in "Pleases" and "Thank Yous".

So, Thank you  Emily Post.

Oh, and because I believe in good manners. I hope I haven't offended anyone. If I have, then I am sorry.

Apologizing is a good manner too. Just for the record.
Today I am thankful for: My husband. I love him. Some days more than others, but always everyday. He is strong, and caring. Funny and entertaining. Handsome and most of all, he chose Me.

Day 1 - She Writes.

She writes. Well I do. At least I try. Or have been trying. I kind of like it. I make myself laugh. Is that vain? I think it is, but yet, I keep writing, and laughing so apparently I must not care that much. I started this whole wanna be a writer thing for my business blog Bella Vita Planning, and found well, that I kind of liked it. I entertained someone. Someone thought I was funny. Someone besides my sister, who loves me and always tells me I am funny (even when I think she is just humoring me).

So here I am, writing. Typing actually. This blog venture is to be about finding my way. I want to find my way, which ever way that may be. I want to love my way. Love where it takes me. I have found myself here. At 26. How did I get here. Here is not so bad. I kind of like parts of here. I like, ok Love my husband. Most days. I like my house. My normal, what your supposed to do when you get married, cookie cutter, mom, dad and 2.5 kids house. How did I end up married with a house. I always imagined a normal life. You know, married, kids, job I liked, house, summer vacations to Lake Chelan. You know, normal. I wanted to be normal. I wanted to want normal. Now I am normal and I wonder what not being normal is like.

I never thought I would work a job that I hated. I do. I work a job that people say "wow, what a great place to work, and , how did you get on there". I hate it. I want to think. Everyday. I want to be challenged, and valued and do something different every day. Yet, I go to work. I pay bills because I go to work. I am normal.

Here I am. Living in normal. Wanting to be not normal. I want Cor to quit his job, tell me it's ok to quit mine, and book one way plane tickets to Ireland. I want him to tell me we are going to be vagabonds and bar tend in a dive in Dublin for a while until we want to go somewhere else. If he, my normal, good man, follow the rules husband can jump of the main drag of normal. I will follow. Follow right off the bridge. Like a lemming.

Today I am grateful for: My puppies. They love me everyday, and are always happy to see me.
