List of things to do before I die...:) :) :)

So!  I have been promising this for quite a while! :)

ANd guess what?!? I am working on it!! It's not quite done, but I am getting it all from my brain, to something a lil bit easier to manage--paper! <3

but..I can't just put it down if it's not good enough yet! So, i haven't decided if I'm going to create a new blog for my list, or just re-design this one.  We shall see, but something is of yet, going to happen.

Update on my real (dreamy) life:  hm...I'm in a show. which is good. I love prepping for my career as an actress, and using what I know to do now.  It's so crazy fun.  I get to have an english accent, and wear a pretty dress! what more could i ask for, right?

hm...gave tic tac boy his gifts!!  sadly the christmas gift I was talking about earlier has yet to arrive, and it's january.  so! Valentines gift? I think so. <3  There has been a confirmed sighting and it's definately on its way from Germany.  I can't wait to see his handsome lil face light up! :)

School is going well.  I need to get organized.

My bro is coming home from his mission in 2 months. wOo! <3 he will get to meet tic tac boy.  (my dream man).  He will also get to party like it's 2011!

So, hang tight while I finish creating my list of things to do before i die.  It will come.  I promise!  You will be hearing from me soon!

Lemonade follow-up

This is the song that brought my last post into life! ♥

Lyrics to Lemonade : (by Chris Rice)
So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
‘Cause nobody knows what’s coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
‘Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade!
Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm your trembling hand with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we’re swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade!

I’ve got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs wiith a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We’re gonna need another straw!

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade!

I bet there's lemonade in heaven! ♥

Life can be so sweet sometimes. :)
So, it's no suprise that I love lemonade! (Well, at least not to those who know me, it's a pretty well known fact).  In fact, the song that narrates my life is called, "Lemonade" by Chris Rice, (my fav christian rock singer[who also sings normal songs]) 

Well, so lately i've been thinking of lemonade.  Don't ask me why.  But there are people who exist as the lemonade in the punch bowl of life.  I'm talking about sweethearts.  There are several people who have stuck out to me lately.

One of course, is my own sweetheart.  The Tic Tac Dream Man who is nameless in this blog ;) He takes my day and adds sugar, little by little.  And it's not the kind of sugar that's bad for you.  It's the good-for-your-whole-soul kind.  He is so real, and sincere.  When he says something, it's because he means it.  And I respect him more and more everyday.  He has a way of brightening a room when he enters it.  It's funny, because he is such a serious person, I am often suprised by his kind, warm demeaner.  I've never known anyone like him.  But, it's his happy enthusiasm, his thoughtful kindness that makes me proud to call him my own. ♥

Another is my little sister, ickle.  I will call her this so that I don't use her real name (and because that's what all of my friends called her througout highschool).  I haven't seen her as often lately, and I've been missing her.  I think about her all the time, and maybe should just kidnap her and do something.  She is one of the greatest examples in my life.  She is constant, and strong.  Though sometimes she chooses not to say much, her soul is full-to-bursting with wisdom and knowlege.  I think she was born older than me. When I moved out, it was one of the hardest things i'd ever done (being away from her) but she has continued to be my best friend, even though I don't see her much.  I guess there is something about 2 hearts which have been together so long, that just binds them.  She can read my mind.  And she always knows exactly what to say.  She is quite a bit of the sugar in my life. My lil ickle sweetie.

The last one I'll talk about is a friend from school.  We recently had a conversation about his good friend who had just died in a car accident. It reminded me of how short life is.  Of how much we need to grasp every minute of it.  Because at the end of the day, people are all we have got.  He has been a good friend since my first acting class in college.  I've always been grateful for his willingness to open up his heart to the world and pour out his inspiration.  Because that's what acting should be about. 

Thank you to all the people who sweeten my life, for I could talk forever of the lemonade of my life.
