April Showers (part 4)

As I was working on my pictures I decided to switch at the last moment to a slightly naughtier pose.

Yes, I  know, I'm a tease **grinning slightly**

I just can't help myself.

April Showers (part 3)

For some reason I keep thinking of the song "Singing in the Rain"

April Showers (part 2)

Sometimes I just want to hide from the world and be left alone.

Sometimes I just want to run from my life and never be seen agian
Sometimes I want to throw my arms up in the middle of a rain storm and scream at the top of my lungs

and sometime I just want to be held tight and told everything will be alright.

Out of Control

To no surprise I am a control freak. I can't stand losing control over my life and it seems like my life start to spiral out of control over the last couple of month.


Things that felt out of control were:

Injuring my arm
not being able to exercise because of my arm injury
changing teams at work
family events that you have to attend and don't want to
Parents forgetting about you because of these family event
The depressing weather that just didn't let up
the feeling of depression (I suffer from seasonal depression, which totally suck!)

Last week I decided it was time for me to get control of my live and start feeling better. It just seems like everything was out of control and when the depression hit I couldn't handle it anymore.

So what does a girl do to feel better----SHOPPING THERAPY!!! And I shopped; I shopped until my bank account was bled dry. I took my friend with me and she helped me splurge on myself (which I don't do to often). I purchased new furniture, cleaning supplies, clothing, shoes and anything that seemed like it would be fun or nice to have. It was almost like I needed to be out of control with my spending to get back in control of my life.

I also turned down dinner invitations because all I wanted to do was go home and work in my garden or sit on my patio and read. I decided I was going to do what made me happy and I did. I probably hurt some feeling along the way but I needed to regroup. And now I'm better. I was up this morning ready to watch Grey's Anatomy and clean house....ok I did watch Grey's Anatomy and now I'm playing on the computer....seriously, I'm shutting down and going to get this nasty house clean.

Have a happy Easter!!!!!

April Showers (part1)

I'm not normally a "theme" type of girl but I thought it would be fun to do something for spring. Beleive it or not I'm actually ready for spring this year.

Anyway it took me a while to think of something and then one day it came to me....April Showers....rain...lots of rain and umbrella's...YAH Umbrella's. Although I'm still working out the theme I wanted to share my first attempt.

I got up early one sunny morning and saw the light beaming through my living room window. I stopped and stared at it for a minute and decided it was perfect to get some shots. So I ran into my bedroom, grabbed the camera, stripped down and started to shoot. I'm still wondering if my neighbors were up that early because if they were they received a wonderful show:)

HNT!!

HNT - Archive

It's archive time! With the injury it is difficult to take shots of myself that actually look good. So for now I hope you will enjoy some pictures from the past and from my archive.

Hope everyone had a great St. Patricks Day. Unfortunately I didn't celebrate this year, or really any year. Maybe one day I will actually take time off of work and enjoy the parade and then a beer. Maybe next year:)

Until then please enjoy some of my older pictures!

Happy HNT

HOUSE

The other night on HOUSE, I had to laugh because they were making fun of bloggers. The content of the show was this girl, who was a blogger freak, and because vary ill. At one point in the show she had to decide if she wanted a mechanical heart valve or a pig heart valve (by the way she claimed to be some type of animal rights activist).


And of course, she decides to turn her decision to her blogger readers, her "friends". People that she has never met she is leaving a decision like this up to strangers. I just laughed at myself and started to wonder what has this world come to.

Are we all really turning to the cyber world to feel that connection? Are our children loosing the need for physical, live social interaction? I notice many of them come home from school, do their home work (at least that is how I hope it is) and then they turn on the TV and turn on Facebook, twitter and ...yes...even blogger to "chat" with "friends".

I've noticed the next generation seems to be very tech savvy and confines themselves to the computer to feel connected. Even I've fallen into this trap. Facebook and Blogger was my social network, until recently when I invited a large amount of "friends" to my house only to have about 4 show up.

What is up with everyone? Maybe my type of people is becoming extinct? Maybe the social butterfly is dieing out.

I don't know about you but I want to physically be around people. I want to meet up, talk and actually see the person I'm communicating with. But with all the "social" networks out there people are more tied to their computer and blackberry's than they are in actually being with people.

Is our next couple of generations going to be socially ignorant? Not really knowing how to handle people, feeling, and conflict?

Welcome to Pure Temptation

Welcome to Pure Temptation


This will be a place where I can be myself and love myself. I can explore life without judgment.

I am planning on participating in the next HNT because it has and Olympic theme to it. My BF gave me a great idea now if I can only pull it off.

I'm still working on this blog and it will take me a few weeks to up to full speed.

And by the way where the heck is the spell checker on this thing?
