ten thousand days

My parents have been married for 29 years yesterday.

wow.

They got married at the Wee Kirk O' The Heather Chapel on Las Vegas Blvd on March 26th 1980, my mom wore a red wrap skirt (I know own it) and a rainbow plaid shirt, no family members attended, just a few friends. 4 years ago my siblings and I gave my mother the wedding she had always wanted except it was so much better because all the friends and family members that had come into their lives in the past 25 years were able to attend, and of course their 3 amazing children. Me and my sister decorate the club house in her housing complex with deep red and cream, we put up sheets as a backdrop for the "alter" and used red and cream roses and red tulips for the floral displays. My dad was nervous like he was getting married for the first time, it was cute. I cannot remember the food we served, but my brother gave the best speech and my parents received some really great gifts. It was the best day and I am really glad we decided to do it.

I already called dibs on doing my sister's for her 25th anniversary.

So cute

Influence

I am so original, NOT. I am copying my "very best good friend" (name that movie) and making a list of the people who have impacted me. She was able to narrow hers down to the top 10 and semi put them in order, I however cannot do the same. Nana Faye is much more dedicated than me, obviously.

Instead of putting their names I will just put what they did. Which one are you?

Made me, raised me, cried and laughed with me.
Funniest person I know, taught me everything I know about music and how to survive high school and life
Made me, raised me, taught me about fear and strength.
Has turned into such an interesting, funny, intelligent and charismatic man. Favorite drinking buddy
My second mother, her death changed me completely. I will never be the same in bad and good ways
Opened me up to reading new books.
Introduced me to raves, shows, and blond hair and so so so much more.
Changed every ones lives for the better and for the worse. I am still mad at him but I miss his smile.
Taught me about growing up and the silly things people will do when they are "in love".
Taught me about fashion, make up and hair and about Sailor Jerry Rum and Cokes.
Was the gateway for some many good people coming into my life. Introduced me to Funny girl and Cherry Root beers
Turned my world upside down, swept me off my feet and turned me into melted ice cream.
Dyed my hair, took me on my first bus ride and first funeral. Opened up my world to local punk shows and a little bit of fearlessness
Taught me about money, cars and sacrifice and how to smoke
The funniest old man I know and taught me a lot about grieving
Gave me good boy advice and always lead by example. Still cracks me up
Made me laugh, broke my heart, taught me how to drink
Saved my life more than once
Used to be best friends. His absence in my life taught me a lot about growing up and how quickly things and people can change. Breaks my heart to this day
Taught me how to act

Things I want part deux























These will be great for summer. I'm a big fan of the gladiator sandal





















Love this, with a cute little cardigan and some flats.

























So cute for spring, with my new dark denim jacket and some cute heels? Or as a swim suit cover up? Can't quite decide


























Perfect for Oregon, simple but still cute. I'm thinking my grey crew neck tee and faded skinny jeans with some cute sandals
























Love this w/ black leggings, some flats and a messy pony tail
























This would probably be cuter on my sister. She pulls off yellow a lot better than me.
Yay or nay Megan?


oh yeah and HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!

Scandalous

Me and Michael get a lot of weird looks. I have chalked it up to his long hair, my sometimes outrageous fashion choices and of course, pure jealousy. Last weekend we celebrated St. Patty's day at Lake Las Vegas on Saturday and then a festival/carnival in old Henderson on Water Street on Sunday afternoon. We had a blast and were even able to laugh off all the dirty looks we received but I have to admit it does get annoying sometimes, especially when one couple consisted of a Stevie Nick's knock off and a giant with a purple Mohawk. REALLY?! Really purple Mohawk?!

That bag and Michael's hair made quite the stir at Monte Lago Village, but aren't we fabulous?

We endured the dirty looks and snide remarks from drunk girls wearing hot pink crew neck t-shirts tucked into mom jeans and enjoyed a lovely view of the lake from a comfy bench
and Sunday? Well Sunday we had funnel cake.

It was a GREAT weekend! And could we appear anymore in love in those pictures?
Oh Puh-lease....

My boy


"Oh boy, if you ever have to let me down in this world, my life surely would be upside down. If you ever find that your peace of mind is shattered in so many ways and I find my feet down on lonely street, I’ll be stood there waiting for you.Boy you got me. Oh yeah, let me look into your deep blue** eyes. Let me share every moment, every sweet surprise. See that I have grown and need mercy shown. There’s a window to my heart. If I find my feet down on lonely street,I’ll be stood there waiting for you,Boy, you’ve got me high. Boy, you’ve got me high. Boy, you’ve got me high Boy, you’ve got me high. But if I find my feet down on lonely street, I’ll be stood there waiting for you. Boy you’ve got me."

-Oh Boy, Duffy

Don't ever change the way you are...I've never loved anyone more

"I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool." -- Theodore I. Rubin, MD

Naked numero uno

My Michael brought me (naked!!) Michael Pitt. I am so lucky.

So I am sitting at my desk looking at townhomes and apartments that I wish I could afford and feeling very sorry for myself until I see my very handsome Michael walking up with a cherry coke slurpee and the vintage purse his mother gave me yesterday. I was so surprised to see him I instantly got butterflies in my stomach and regretted not putting more effort into how I look today. He said "Hi Baby" and handed me my drink and purse and then kept eyeballing the purse like I should open it. Inside my amazing vintage oversized clutch purse was the dvd for dreamers and a note marked "meine liebe". So me and Michael wish we were german, SO WHAT?! I thought I'd save him that awkward squirmy feeling people get when you read their letters in front of them so I set it aside. I walked him to the door, gave him a kiss and came back to read the note, it's private so I won't share it but just know that GODDANG I love that Michael of Mine.

P.s.

did I mention the movie he brought me features numero uno NAKED?!

What else can I say?
