Girlfriends!! January 17, 2008

Filed under: friends, future — Shelley @ 7:53 pm

I went to a personal development conference a few weekends ago and met a lot of really great people. I had a lot of conversations about life and whatnot as we were urged to do. One such conversation made me think about how lucky I am to have the people in my life that I do. He asked me who my best friend was and I told him that it depends. He asked me who I called when you I needed someone talk to. I told him that I had a lot of friends that I called for different reasons. I think that he found that amazing.

A while ago my friend and former Jennea and I went out with friends and drank a little to much beer so we had one of those long rambling conversations that don’t make a lot of sense but do once you really think about it. I started talking about who I’d want in my wedding party if/when I get married (it’s a girl thing) and I realized I have a lot of people I want to include in that moment in my life. I’ve never thought of myself as being someone who would have a big wedding, or a big wedding party. Can you have a small wedding with a lot of bridesmaids?

“Why are you talking about weddings” you ask? I guess it’s the best way I can think of to honor the females I’m closest to by inviting them to be witness to your most special of days. Even if I never have a wedding I’ll still always plan on who I’d want in that bridal party. I’m lucky to have such an amazing group of women I can call Friends.

 
 

One last goodbye December 31, 2007

Filed under: future, past — Shelley @ 7:31 pm

I was sitting here just getting ready to head out the door when I realized how much I missed him. The further away I get the more I know it wasn’t going to ever be more than what it was. It started as friends moved to casual flirting and at the end it was way more than it should have been. We never touched save for a couple of times, but nothing more than friends, but the thought of him still burns inside of me. I hate that he was so close to all that i want in a man because now I’m so sad for no real reason. We didn’t date we didn’t have any real promises to one another. I don’t miss him as much as I did but times like this make me ache. Maybe it’s more than just him. It’s about missing all kinds of people, friends, lovers, family and myself. 2007 is closing and it’s been the most productive year ever.

I welcome 2008 with open arms and I hope it will do me well.

I changed hosting so there are no more godaddy.com ads (YAY) so if you looked earlier and there was nothing now you know why. Also the RSS feed is working now (double YAY)

I’m off to make up my face for tonight. Be sure to check back for photos! (If’n I decide to share!)

 
 

More Movie Madness

Filed under: — Shelley @ 2:30 am

Since I left you I watched the following movies (in no particular order)

The Queen - Good, well acted but a tad boring. I woke up drooling. It was an interesting take on Diana’s death though. It brought back a lot of memories and what not.

Ratatoullie - SO cute! I got this from my mom for Xmas and it was delightful. Pixar always does such a great job on their movies. It pleased my inner child and my outer adult and there wasn’t any over their heads comments aimed at adults.

Constantine - Saw this with my roommate and she was a bit scared at first. I saw it when it came out in the theaters and bought it when i was at my mom’s last weekend. It was just as fantastic this time around and I woke up this morning to my roommate reviewing it and taking notes. There is nothing better than showing a friend a movie and having them love it as much or more than you do.

Once - I really wanted my roommate to watch this movie since i loved it so much. We watched it today and she loved it too. It’s so hard to explain it “is it a love story”? “Well kind of but not really”… The best is when you tell someone it’s a musical. They give you that one eyebrow up look and are completely skeptical.

We also watched a marathon of Samantha Who? I LOVE that show. it’s on the same time as Heroes though and sorry NOTHING is taking me away from that!

Ok it’s late and I have to work in the AM (Only 4 hours though, I mean it IS New Years Eve!)

So if I don’t update in the next 23 hours. Have a happy new year and may all your wishes come true!
