Rainbows and Butterflies

At the behest of a friend, I have to post something quick so that the baby snot picture isn't up here any longer. Also, I figured I should post something positive after the semi-anti-baby/animal rant.

So I will!

I am literally bursting at the seams right now with excitement. I just got the best travel opportunity through work (Greece for 10 days!!!!!!!), AND I think I found an extracurricular photography group to tool around with and apply my new skillz. I recently finished a rigorous 4 week beginner photography class to learn about my new camera.

Add to that the fact that it's Wednesday, the one day a week I get to finish 2/3 of my day hates before 1pm, and things are really looking good for Mamacita!

Now if I could just figure out how to be self-employed, this would be the best week EVER!

Pretty Girl Rock

It's been a very long time since I've heard a good diva anthem, but I think we finally have a new one among us.

Presenting, "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson. Also known as the pledge of allegiance for very conceited girls. The video is linked here.

Choice lyrics include:

* "I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty"

* "All eyes on me when I walk in, No question that this girl's a 10."

* "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful."

I jammed out to this on my last solo road trip. It was great to sing too loudly to, and very encouraging of dramatic hand movements.

Do the pretty girl rock!!

Whomp whomp

Wow, we made it through another societal pariah known as Valentine's Day.

I'm convinced this holiday was invented to make single people feel crappy, and to remind married people how absolutely clueless their spouses are.

How was your Vday? Did you do anything special with your loved one? Or did you partake in an all-singles love-hating event?

Hearts of Fire

Happy Valentine's Day Divas!!

Jungle Cat

Check out this jungle cat I saw in a parking lot yesterday!

I'm not typically in the habit of taking pictures of innocent old ladies, but this fleece had so much going on that I had to document it.

Not only is this an animal print fleece, it has 2 sets of animal prints AND a leafy camouflage layer!

This is just one more reason why Spring can't come soon enough!

Simple Cinema

I think I must have bad tastes in movies.

Everytime I get a movie that has been critically acclaimed, nominated for awards, or a blockbuster in theaters, I can barely sit still long enough to pay any sort of attention.

Inception? HATED it! I quit watching after 30 minutes. It was too unreal to even be believable enough to be mind-blowing, as everyone claimed.

Social Network? It was ok I guess. Notwithstanding the 20 times I walked out of the room to do something more interesting.

But give me a Rom Com, and I will be glued to the TV.

Last night I watched "Life As We Know It." LOVED IT! I laughed, I cried, and I didn't get up once.

Maybe it's because I'm simple. Or maybe it's because I love the inevitable passionate kiss and happy ending. But goodness gracious. I HEART ROMANTIC COMEDIES.

I can't wait to see one tonight in my home theater den.

Gals out there, do you prefer RomComs? Or are you a fan of scary movies and more serious cinema?!
