Seriously?

I am sure that you have seen these pics {a hundred times already} since they are still swirling around the web. I feel like I see them everytime I open to Yahoo!

I feel so bad for Heidi and I am sad for her {yes, even though I know that she does anything she can for attention} because this was such a BIG HUGE mistake! Your thoughts on this newest makeover venture for Speidi?

A Heavy Heart

As I layed in bed last night saying my prayers before I went to sleep, I was overcome with extreme sadness for the all people affected by the Haiti Earthquake. As I prayed that God would wrap His loving arms around them to comfort and heal all those affected by the earthquake, tears began to roll down my face.

As I cried just imagining how scared and helpless all these people must feel, I was reminded of a sweet young man that my hubby and I met at the resort while on our weddingmoon in the Dominican Republic. This young man referred to himself as "Goofy" and had the kindest, sweetest heart. Goofy explained to my hubby that he lived on the opposite end of the country in Haiti and was there to work in the Dominican Republic for the "busy season."

He explained that each year during the busy season he would travel to the Dominican Republic to work at the resort in Punta Cana only to return back to Haiti with the money that he made to live on the for remainder of the year. He shared with us that he made $500 during the busy season and that is what he and his future wife would live on during his time away from the tourists in Punta Cana. I was blown away by the fact that he lived for 6 months on $500 and quickly realized just how poverty stricken the region was.

When we left to come home we gave him our email address so that he could let us know how he was doing and gave him a little money so that he might live a little more "comfortably" while he was back in Haiti. We have never heard anything from him, but pray that he and his wife are safe. I am sure that there are other stories like mine...simply about people meeting sweet people from Haiti along the way in life that have left us all wondering tonight about their safety.

I cannot even begin to imagine what these people are going through in Haiti. I knew that it was very heavy on my heart to help, realizing all of our blessings. I know that there are numerous organizations that are raising money to aide in the crisis efforts in Haiti.

An organization close to my heart is Compassion and the money that you donate will go to help children and their families affected by this crisis. Just $35 will give a family in need there food and water for a week. If you are unable to provide monetary support at this time you can still help all those in need, PLEASE PRAY! God will hear all of our prayers!

She's off the Market...

Did you hear the news?? Oklahoma's very own Carrie Underwood is engaged!

I just think that Carrie is so super cute and always so very fashionable!

She was flashing her new engagement ring at a hockey game this past weekend while watching her fiance at work.

Her Canadian hockey player beau is Mike Fisher...looking very dashing here in his suit and tie!

I have to say that I think they make a pretty cute couple.

Just look at how cute she is here at a hockey game, just watching her man, she is such a beauty!

I hope that you girlie's are having a super great week so far! I can't believe that Christmas is only 3 days away, I am so excited.

I still have not even started wrapping presents which I take great pride in, but I think that I am going to save that until Christmas Eve since I am off work. I still have yet to post a picture of my tree, so hopefully I can get that done tonight!

Seriously Wynonna?

I guess that Wynonna is sad that her career is all but over seeing that she made such a negative comment about sweet Taylor Swift.


Taylor won Entertainer of the Year last night at the Country Music Awards. Wynonna said in an interview with USA Today, "You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon."


I personally think that there shouldn't be a time frame put on the achievement of success. Who cares that she is only 19 years old, she works very hard and she deserves it!


I watched the CMA's last night just hoping that I would catch a glimpse or performance by you know who...

Needless to say, I was not disappointed! Did you watch the CMA's last night? If you did, who was your favorite?

Is this a Joke?

I usually take a glance at Fox News every morning just to make sure I didn't miss any big news from overnight, ha! This morning I saw this headline and was completely blown away!

Colorado Man Stabs Himself to Miss Work

Straight of the presses from Fox News online, the article said that the man stabbed himself in the leg and made other cuts on his body as well...all as a ploy to miss work that day! While the article does not confirm this, I am sure that this "ploy" was a success and the man did in fact miss work yesterday...so that he could spend some quality time at the police station. He now faces charges for obstructing justice...surely this man won't pull a stunt like this ever again. Further more, I wonder if he still has a job at Blockbuster?

News like this just boggles my mind...the fact that someone would go to such great lengths just to call into work?? His boss must be seriously mean!

Wow, was there ever some news to report today!?!?! Here are my top 2 headlines from the news of the day and in the typical fashion of the nightly local news, I will save my favorite headline for last.

First and foremost, imagine my shock surprise when what to my wandering eyes would appear {no-not a sleigh with 8 tiny reindeer, but instead} this headline:

Arkansas Family Prepares for Number 19
At first I thought, they must be talking about the addition of their first grandchild, or was this a type-o...it was just some sort of mistake, it just had to be...right? Oh no-they weren't talking about Josh and Anna's new baby...it was not mistake, they were making the big announcement that Michelle is pregnant with her 19th child! All I can say about this one is WOW! The Duggar family gives a whole new meaning to the saying "the more the marrier."

Onto the news of the fabulous, my favorite sassy lady with a ton of class is at it again! Get ready because my smile is about to get a whole lot bigger...

Thats right ladies, Sarah Jessica Parker began filming the Sex and the City sequel yesterday. I am so super pumped since I have an unending love for SATC, even the constant re-runs on TBS! I love them all and cannot wait for the sequel to debut!
