I'll be missing you..
Today is the anniversary of my father passing. No matter how much time goes by, how much I grow as a person and learn to let go this day is always hard for me. There will always a piece of my heart missing, I will always remember every minute of that day 18 years ago. I am thankful for my Mum, brother and step Dad who love me and have always been there for me and helped me through the rough times.
As horrible as my familys loss is, I have learnt from the situation. I love and care about people more than they probably know because you really don't know what could happen. I also realized I spent to much of my life being sad about what was missing or happened that I was missing the present. I now do my best to appreciate the fun I had and enjoy those great memories.
~ I love and miss you Daddy, I know your watching over me ~

5 o'clock somewhere
I am on my afternoon break from work and all I can think about how gorgeous the weather looks through the boring white office blinds AND how I want one of these ......
I love Spring evenings sitting on a deck with a frozen margarita, (minus salt, that ruins the drink for me, I want it super sweet) enjoying good conversation and laughs with friends and family.
Tonight I am hitting the town for a co-workers 21st birthday and can't wait to enjoy a couple of cocktails!! Oh to be 21 again! Actually 25, 25 was a good year for me :)
Whats you favorite spring moments??
P.S Remember to enjoy the little things this weekend!!

My Week
I know you are all patiently waiting to know how my week went, right? Oh your not? Ok well I’m going to share anyway. J
Last weekend was not very eventful.
It started out sad by going to support a friend who lost her father. I know she will be ok but it hurts me to know she has to go through the pain I remember so strongly from when I was a child. Times like this renew my thoughts on loving your family and friends as much as you can and making sure they know you do. Sometimes that’s hard to do, life gets busy, people make mistakes and hurt each other but regardless if you care about someone we should always take a second to tell them.
Saturday ~ I helped a high school friend pick out her Wedding Dress. I was excited to help; I love shopping and love looking at the dresses. She asked me to make her a Bridal headpiece because I’m “creative”; I know what she wants and am pretty confident I can make it but what if she doesn’t like it? It’s the most important day of her life; I don’t want her to be disappointed. Oh and I won’t see her before the wedding so I won’t know until then if she likes it or not agh!
Sunday ~ I spent most of the day de-cluttering my life, throwing away things I don’t need and getting things together to donate or sell. It felt good to clear out the unnecessary things I had laying around. I know this will help simplify and organize my life. I also went grocery shopping, I never do a real grocery shop, so I got things to pack lunches for work and light snacks instead of junk food!!
The rest of the week I have spent my spare time with friends and family. I had a girl’s night with my Mum; we went shopping and got some great deals, had our hair done and went to dinner. Unfortunately the service at dinner was horribleL. Yesterday; I met some girls from my part time job and went to one of their son’s basketball game. 8 yrs old playing sports is sooo cute, he scored 3 pts and played great. You can tell they love just playing to play and aren’t upset if they loose. The other team however I feel is in a mini basketball boot camp. They were running plays and had hand signs it was crazy to see them soo into the game on a serious level.
On the business front, I made some new pieces and bought a printer. I know exciting stuff buying a printer. I also participated in DIY Desgin Your Life. You may have already read the blog from earlier in the week if not take a look. I wrote out six intentions I want to fulfill in my life. It was great to write out my goals and I have had some great feedback from friends as well as those in the blogging world. Plus my blog was mentioned on one of my favorite blogs makeunderyourlife.com, very exciting!
Today is 11 days into my No Fast Food February and I haven’t stopped at any fast food joint. I am reevaluating which local restaurants may be consider fast food too. Plus I am down to two cokes a day and only water after 7 pm. FYI caffeine withdrawals suck!

Lottery
As most of America knows the Mega Millions lotto was up to $355 million yesterday, so just like anyone else I was determined I could beat the 1 in 175 million odds and win.
I even took the picture below and declared on facebook I had the winning ticket! Again because I am trying out the whole positive thinking makes things happen thing!! I even made sure none of my numbers showed so one could copy haha! wow that makes me sound so selfish, but I would share if won!
Alas, I did not win the millions two lucky people beat the odds and get to split the money!! I think I might have won $10 though, not sure as this is the first time I've bought an actual ticket, usually I stick to the $1.00 scratch cards on road trips.
Playing the lotto obviously got me thinking about what I would do if I won all that money! Would I take the cash pay out or spread the winnings out? Here are a few things I am certain I would do with the money:
1. Take care of my family ~ pay off mortgages, new cars and an amazing vacation.
2. Take a fabulous trip with all my friends!
3. Donate money to art education, children's charities and many more.
4. Buy Aston Martin.
5. Invest and start my own company.
6. Hire a good lawyer.
7. Travel the world and experience other cultures.
8. Buy a Chanel purse ~ I've dreamt of owning one since I was little.
Seen as I didn't win I guess I should head back to work! What would you do if you won?
P.S. does anyone else think they read the numbers super fast?
