i'm an observer

i'm an observer. i love to "people watch" at airports, restaurants, stores, etc. i think you can learn a lot about people by just watching them and as sad as it may seem, we're all human and we do tend to judge people by first appearances. i'm the youngest child in my family so i've been able to watch my siblings growing up. this has helped me know what not to do or say to stay out of trouble. i really like being the youngest. i'm also the only child without kids so i can watch my siblings raise theirs. by the time i have a child i will be the perfect mother! (are you seeing my plan?)

 i am not an attention-getter and i don't like being in the spotlight.

you could say i'm an introvert.

Would you rather see or be seen?

my favorite beach

as much as i love warm weather I've only been to warm
beaches a few times in my life.

my aunt and uncle live in northern california, so (it's freezing!)
i've been there a few times.

when my family went to europe 10 years ago
we went to the beach in Portugal (gorgeous).

ryan and i went to st. lucia (enter bachelor comments here.) two years ago.

my point is that i miss the sun.
anyone else feel the same way right about now?

what's your favorite beach or lakeshore?

                                   explain what you do there.

Olympic Q & A

While watching the olympics i keep asking so many questions. why do they do this? what do they do that for? Well, i thought i'd find out the answers instead of just thinking they're weird. ya ready?

Q1. Do snowboarders wear jeans?
           Exhibit A

i don't know about you, but those look like jeans to me! They seem to be popular this time around and i have to admit, if i was a snowboarder i'd wear them too! I found these sessions rebel denim online for $229.95

A: No, but they sure look like jeans! made me do a 180 (get it?)

Q2: Why do speed skaters wear sunglasses?
         Exhibit B

it sure couldn't be to make them look sexy...

A: according to mentalfloss it’s not very pleasant to have wind blowing in your eyes or drying out your contacts.  Also, it's to protect any flying ice or debri and keeps them focused on the track. By the way, mental floss has other cool "wow! i never knew that!" stuff. check it out.

I couldn't find the answers to a few of my other questions so if anyone knows what the speedskater coaches show them on their clipboards during the final lap or what Shani Davis' workout is, please let me know! If not, enjoy the rest of the Olympics! We are loving them! 

Our love fern! You let it die!

quick! Name that movie. Yes, I know it's not a fern, but it was sent with love and for "love day" so that's what it's called and yes, I let it die!

I left it at work over the weekend against my better judgement. But in reality the instructions did say put more plant food in on the 3rd day, but it was too late for that.

I guess i take after my mother because we both tend to kill roses. She's tried planting them in her yard but they always die. Supposedly, roses are very hard to kill. Ha! I say. Although mine were already headed downhill the moment they were delivered.

What are your tips/suggestions for keeping flowers alive?
