SOUTHERN BELLE

A SOUTHERN BELLE (DERIVED FROM THE FRENCH BELLE, "BEAUTIFUL") IS ANOTHER NAME FOR A YOUNG WOMAN OF AMERICA'S OLD SOUTH'S UPPER CLASS. DURING THE PERIOD KENTUCKIAN SALLIE WARD OF LOUSVILLE WAS THE MOST NOTED BELLE IN THE SOUTH, HER PORTRAIT, WHICH HANGS IN THE SPEED MUSEUM OF LOUSIVILLE WHICH IS ALSO CALLED "A SOUTHERN BELLE". SOUTHERN BELLES EPITOMIZE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY CULTIVATION OF BEAUTY AND FLIRTATIOUS YET CHASTE DEMENAOR. (THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS A PICTURE OF SALLIE WARD)WWW.WIKIPEDIA.COM

I ALSO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE CUTE FOR THE BLOG. HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO BE A SOUTHERN BELLE.

1. OFFER MINT JULEP OR ICED TEA TO EVERYONE WHO VISTIS YOUR HOUSE.
2. EAT GRITS EVERYDAY FOR BREAKFAST.
3. REFER TO YOUR HOUSE AS "THE PLANTATION" NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS.
4. REFER TO EVERY MAN AS A "GENTELMAN CALLER" OR "BEAUX".
5. NEVER LET A MAN KNOW THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED OR CHASE HIM BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE ARE TOO MANY MEN WHO WANT YOU FOR YOU TO EXPAND THE EXTRA EFFORT.
6. WHEN YOU HAVE A DATING DELEMA AND HAVE ANOTHER GENTELMAN CALLER OVER WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING ANOTHER CLAIM TO BE "EXPIRED" AND EXCUSE YOURSELF FOR A NAP UNTIL HE LEAVES.
7. WHENEVER YOU ARE ASKED TO DO WORK, FAN YOURSELF AND CLAIM YOU HAVE THE "VAPORS".
8. REFER TO ANY PARTY YOU GO TO, EVEN THE KEGER AT THE UNIVIRSITY AS A "CIOTILLION", ALL OTHER PARTIES ARE YANKEE GARBAGE.
9. TRY TO USE WORDS LIKE "DARLIN", "SWEET" OR "PRECIOUS" IN EVERY SCENTENCE.
10. BELONG TO A COUNTRY CLUB. EVEN IF YOU DON'T, REFER TO ANY CLUB YOU BELONG TO AS A "COUNTRY CLUB". NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW THE DIFFRENCE.
11. SET UNDER A MAGNILIA TREE WITH A PARASOL FANNING YOURSELF OFTEN. PASSER-BY WILL TAKE NOTICE OF YOUR BELL-NESS.
12. NEVER MARRY A YANKEE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A YANKEE BY ASSOCIATION.

13. NEVER BE SEEN WITHOUT MAKE UP AND A GIRDLE.

TIPS:

1. A PARSAL AND A UMBRELLA ARE NOT THE SAME THING. IF YOU REFER TO YOUR PARSAL AS A "UMBRELLY" YOU WILL NEVER BE A BELLE.
2. BEING A BELLE IS A LIFETIME OF WORK. SO PRACTICE EVERY DAY.

HAIR CARE

MY BLOG TODAY WILL BE ALL ABOUT HAIR CARE.....OBVIOUSLY. I AM GOING TO POST ABOUT MYTHS AND TIPS TO HELP KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY.

5 HAIR CARE MYTHS

• CONDITIONER CAN FIX SPLIT ENDS-- THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP SPLIT ENDS IS A GOOD HAIR TRIM. IF YOU DO HAVE SPLIT ENDS IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO INVEST IN A CONDITIONER TO HELP MANAGE YOUR SPLIT ENDS. I KNOW THERE IS A PRODUCT BED HEAD MAKES CALLED SPLIT END MENDER, THAT HELPS WITH SPLIT ENDS.
• EVERYONE SHOULD BRUSH THEIR HAIR 100 TIMES DAILY-- THIS CAN LEAD TO BREAKAGE AND SPLIT ENDS, ONLY BRUSH ONLY WHEN NEEDED. REDKIN MAKES A WHOLE LINE FOR BREAKAGE....IT'S CALLED EXTREME. THEY HAVE SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS AND OTHER STUFF TO HELP PROTECT YOUR HAIR.
• YOU NEED TO USE A LOT OF SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER FOR GOOD RESULTS-- USING TO MUCH SHAMPOO CAN CAUSE A DRY SCALP AND USING TO MUCH CONIDTIONER CAN CAUSE OILY HAIR.
• BRUSHING YOUR HAIR WHEN WET HELPS GET THE TANGLES OUT-- WHEN YOUR HAIR IS WET IT IS BEST NOT TO BRUSH IT AT ALL. GET A WIDE TOOTH COMB AND COMB THRUGH IT.....BRUSHING IT CAN CAUSE BREAKAGE. AGIN, I WOULD RECOMEND REDKIN EXTREME FOR BREAKAGE.
• HAIR SHOULD ONLY BE WASHED EVER TWO TO THREE DAYS-- THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO CERTIN PEOPLE. IF YOUR HAIR GETS DRY EAISLY, THEN WASH IT EVERY COUPLE O DAYS, AND GET A HYDRATING/COLOR CARE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER. IF YOU HAVE A OILY SCALP AND DRY ENDS DUE TO STRAIGHTNING OR COLORING YOUR HAIR....YOU CAN EITHER WASH IT EVERY OTHER DAY AND USE BABY POWDER ON YOUR ROOTS, (USING BABY POWDER OBSORBES OILS IN YOUR HAIR), OR YOU CAN GET A REDKIN CHEMESTRY SHOT, WHICH IS LIKE A CONDITIONING TREATMENT.

WHAT TO DO FOR HEALTHY HAIR:

• BRUSH YOUR HAIR BEFORE WASHING IT, THIS WAY YOU'LL REMOVE ANY DIRT FROM YOUR HAIR.
• BY MASSAGING YOUR HAIR CAN HELP BOOST CIRCULATION.
• NO ONE CAN TELL YOU HOW OFTEN TO SHAMPOO YOUR HAIR, WHENEVER IT FEELS DIRTY, WASH IT WITH A SHAMPOO AND CONDITION THAT GOES WELL WITH YOUR HAIR.
• ALWAYS MOISTURIZE YOUR HAIR.
• WHENEVER YOU RINSE THE CONDITIONER USE THE WATER A LITTLE ON THE COLD SIDE. IT HELPS CLOSE THE CUTICULE.
• LET YOUR HAIR DRY NATRUALLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. USING AND BLOW DRYER AND STRAIGHTNER OR CURLING EVERY DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY CAN DRY OUT YOUR HAIR.

PROFESSIONALISM

SO, I DECIDED TO POST SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH, PROFESSIONALISM............AT TIMES, I HAVE NOTICED I HAVEN'T BEEN 100% PROFESSIONAL.  BUT I FIGURED I WOULD POST SOME TIPS.....AND STUFF.  I AM DOING  MY RESEARCH SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

PROFESSIONALISM-  1.  PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER, SPIRITS OR METHODS.

       2.  THE STANDING PRACTICE, OR METHODS OF A PROFESSIONAL, AS DISTINGUISHED FORM AN AMATUER.

(REFRENCE WWW.DICTIONARY.COM)

• USE COMMON COURTSEY-- IF YOU USE COMMON COURTSEY WHEN DEALING WITH A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS, YOU'LL MORE LIKELY GIVE YOURSELF AND EDGE OVER MANY OTHER CANIDATES WHO FAIL TO DO SO.  IT ALWAYS MAKES SOMEONE FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU ARE COURTIOUS AND USE YOUR MANNERS.  DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU ARE WORKING AND YOUR CUSTOMERS TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT?  
  
• PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE-- SOMETIMES, JOB SEEKERS ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE IS.  A TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL USE TO ALWAYS TELL US TO DRESS "A STEP HIGHER" THAN THE ASSOCIATES IN THE DEPARTMENT YOU ARE APPLYING FOR ARE WEARING.  THIS USUALLY MEANS A PAIR OF SLACKS AND A DRESS SHIRT FOR MEN AND DRESS PANTS AND BLOUSE FOR WOMEN, (DEPENDING ON YOUR JOB.  SOME JOBS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRESS THAT WAY, LIKE IF YOU ARE A SERVER.  THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD DRESS AT A INTERVIEW, AND IN CERTIN WORK PLACES).  YOU CAN STILL LOOK "HIP" WITHOUT LOOKING SO PLAIN.
• NEAT AND CLEAN!!! -- WEAR UNWRINKLED CLOTHESIN GOOD CONDITION.  PURSES AND SHOES SHOULD BE IN GOOD CONDITION TOO!!  BATHE GOOD AND MAKE SURE YOUR NAILS ARE CLEAN.  MEN PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR FACIAL HAIR AND WOMEN PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR HAIR AND MAKE UP (IF YOU WEAR ANY) IS DEACENT.  
• HERE IS A BIG LIST OF PROFESSIONAL DONT'S--  PLEASE DO NOT WEAR, TENNIS SHOES, VISIBAL TATTOOS, VISIBAL BRA'S AND UNDERWEAR, WRINKLED CLOTHES, SHOWING MIDRIFF, BACK PACKS, UNTUCKED SHIRTS, CHEWING GUM, HAVING CELL PHONE/BEEPER SHOWING...TURN IT OFF, T-SHIRTS, LONG NAILS, UNKEPT HAIR, UNSHAVED FACIAL HAIR (OR LEGS IF YOU ARE WEARING SKIRT OR DRESS, BAGGY CLOTHES, HATS, MIS-MATCHED CLOTHES, SANDALS/PLATFORMS, JEANS, ANYTHING TIGHT OR REVEALING, HEAVY OR FLASHY MAKE UP (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), HEAVY PERFUME, SMELL OF CIGGARETTS, SUNGLASSES, OUTDATED CLOTHING, POOR POSTURE/SLOUCHING, OVER ACCSORIZING, FACIAL PEIRCINGS,  GLITTER ANYTHING (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), ANYTHING TOO TRENDY (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), SWEATPANTS OR SWEAT SHIRTS, WORN PURSES, MINI SKIRTS OR SHORTS, SUNDRESSES OR LOGOS.
• SEVEN ESLOPPY SPEACH HABBITS--  YOU MAY LOOK GOOD ON PAPER OR ALL DRESSED UP BUT HOW YOU SPEAK IS SOMETIMES THE MOST IMPORTANT, (A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS!!!  1. NON WORDS--  FILLER WORDS SUCH AS "UM", "YOU KNOW", AND "LIKE" SOMETIMES TELL THE INTERVEWIER  KNOW YOU AREN'T PREPARRED AND  MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE A VALLEY GIRL (OR BOY).  THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.  EVERYONE SLIPS UP AND SAYS "UM" EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT DON'T LET IT START EVERY SENTENCE.  2. TALK UP--  A RISING INFLECTION AT THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE CREATES A IMPRESION THAT YOU ARE ASKING A QUESTION INSTEAD OF M AKING A STATEMENT.  NO FOUL LANGUAGE.  3.  SLOPPY SPEACH--  SLURING WORDS TOGETHER AND DROPING ENDINGS OF WORDS IMPAIRS THE CLARITY OF YOUR MESSAGE.  TALK SLOW SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU.    4. GRAMICAL ERRORS--  YOUR INTERVIEWER/EMPLOYER MIGHT QUESTION YOUR EDUCATION IF YOU USE TERMS LIKE "AIN'T",  "SHE DON'T" AND "ME AND MY FRIEND".  5. SPEED TALKING--  EVERYONE GETS NERVOUS DURING A INTERVIEW OR DEALING WITH SOME CUSTOMERS BUT DO NOT LET YOUR WORDS FLY OUT LIKE A SPEEDING BULLET.  JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND SIMMA DOWN. 6. WEAK SPEAK-- WHEN YOU PEPPER A CONVERSATION WITH WORDS LIKE, "HOPEFULLY", "SORT OF" AND "KIND OF" THE MESSAGE YOU CONVEY MAY SOUND LIKE YOU ARE LAKING IN CONFIDENCE.  USE WORDS LIKE, " I AM CONFIDENT THAT", "MY TRACK RECORD SHOWS", AND "MY GOAL IS".  7. THE BOTTOM LINE--  SIMPLY SLOW DOWN AND TAKE YOUR TIME.  TAKE THE TIME TO PRONOUNCE YOUR WORDS.
• HERE ARE SOME CHARACTERISTICS THAT DETRACT FROMPROFESSIONALISM IN THE WORKPLACE.  FOR STARTERS HAVING A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE IS BAD!!!  DRESSING OR BEHAVING BADLY, AND THINKING NO ONE WILL NOTICE, IS A SIGN THAT PEOPLE WILL NOTICE AND THINK BADLY OF YOU.  YOUR ATTITUDE COLORS EVERYTHING YOU DO.  CERTIN BODY LANGUAGE CAN BE CONSIDERED UNPROFESSIONAL, SUCH AS YAWNING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN...COVER YOUR MOUTH, PLEASE!!  ALSO, CHEWING YOUR GUM CAN BE CONSIDERED UNPROFESSIONAL, IF YOU JUST ATE THEN CHEW A PEICE BEFORE YOU GO INTO WORK OR MEETING, BUT BE SURE TO SPIT IT OUT BEFORE YOU GO IN.  

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS BLOG!!!  IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I SHOULD BLOG ABOUT LET ME KNOW........I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW IDEAS.

I KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH!!!!

At school Little Johnny was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."

Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I know the whole truth."

His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth."

The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth."

The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your real father a big hug."

SELF ESTEEM 3 KEYS TO SEEING YOURSELF AS A BETTER PERSON

HEY GUYS AND GIRLS!!!! FOUND THIS SHORT ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET....I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT.....I REALLY ENJOYED READING IT, HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYES IT AS MUCH AS I DID!!! I KNOW I WILL TAKE SOMETHING FROM IT!!!!




You have the right to be the best you that you can be. The problem is that you may not think of yourself as someone that can do great things. The truth is, you were meant to do great things but if you don’t believe in yourself you will never fulfill your purpose in life. Here are 3 keys to help you see yourself as a better person.
1. Focus on your strengths.
You have many strengths and abilities that will allow you to do great things. Right now you may be focusing on all the things that you think you do badly but you need to change the way you think. Even if you can only think of one strength that you have, focus on that it and make it even better. It only takes one thing to make you great.
2. Stop the negative thoughts.
The way you think about yourself is the way that you see yourself. You mind is like a projector. What you think is projected onto your mental eyes and that is what you see. If you want to start seeing yourself as a better person you need to start projecting better images of yourself. Your thoughts are a powerful tool that can help you see yourself in whatever way you choose.
3. Ask your friends and family.
You may not be able to see yourself in a very positive way but your friends and family probably do. Ask your friends and family that believe in you to write down five to ten qualities that they see in you. Once you have these lists read through them and accept them as they are. Your friends and family aren’t lying to you.

Is there greatness on the inside of you but you don't know how to achieve it?

WHY AM I A BIG KID?????

I OFTEN GET PICKED ON BECAUSE OF I AM ALWAYS BEING GOOFY AND THE TYPE OF MUSIC I LISTEN TO..........OK.........SO I AM STILL A FAN OF THE BACKSTREET BOYS....WHO CARES???? REALLY???? I MAY NOT LIKE THE SHIT YOU LISTEN TO, BUT I CERTENLY DON'T HARASS YOU ABOUT IT!!!!! I LIKE BEING A BIG KID, I ACT MY AGE WHEN I HAVE TO.......BELEIVE IT OR NOT.....I KNOW HOW TO ACT MY AGE.....I FEEL LIKE I HAVE PROVED THAT. I JUST LIKE TO HAVE FUN, AND I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO RELATE TO EVERYONE WEATHER YOUR 8 OR 28. NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU THINK I ACT, I DO TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN IN LIFE......I STARTED MY CAREER AT THE AGE OF 19, I GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS TWENTY AND WATCHED MY HUSBAND SUFFER IN THE HOSPITAL DUE TO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, AND BOUGHT A HOUSE AT THE AGE OF 21. A LOT OF 50 YEAR OLDS DON'T GO THROUGH A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT LIKE SHAWN HAD, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I DELT WITH IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. OKAY SO MAYBE I DIDN'T KNOW ALL OF THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK.....BUT WHEN YOU ARE IN AS MUCH SHOCK AS I WAS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I ALSO REALIZE I HAVE MADE BAD CHOICES.....NO ONE IS PERFECT......I KNOW I AM FAR FROM IT. BUT I GUESS WHAT I AM REALLY TRYING TO SAY, REAL LIFE ISN'T EASY, AND THERE COMES A POINT IN YOUR LIFE, WHEN YOU REALIZE, YOU CAN'T RUN BACK TO MOMMY AND DADDY TO FIX YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE TO FIX THEM YOURSELF. THINGS CHANGE, PEOPLE LEAVE, AND LIFE DOESN'T STOP FOR ANYONE.

MY LIL' ACCIDENT AND BEING HARASSED!!!!

OKAY, SO LAST NIGHT I WAS TOO TIRED TO BLOG ABOUT BEING HARASSED.....SO I AM GOING TO BLOG ABOUT THE "BAD NEWS" FIRST. LAST NIGHT I WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. I AM OKAY....DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I JUST RAN OFF THE ROAD A LITTLE, SWIRVED IN THE ROAD WAY TOO MUCH, AND THEN FLEW IN, AND OUT OF A DITCH!!!!! THEN I DROVE BACK ON THE STREET, AND REALIZED SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT WITH MY CAR. SO I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO CALL MY HUSBAND, (AFTER TURNING ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS). WELL MY CELLPHONE WASNT GETTING ANY SERVICE. SO I LOOKED IN MY MIRROR AND SAW PEOPLE WALKING TOWARDS ME, TO CHECK ON ME. SO I ASKED A LADY TO BORROW HER CELL PHONE. SO I CALLED SHAWN. MY TWO TIRES ON MY DRIVERS SIDE WERE FLAT ( I JUST KNOCKED THE AIR OUT OF THEM) AND I MESSED UP THE ALIGHMENT IN THE STEARING.....BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT UNTIL I STARTED TO DRIVE HOME. AND MESSED UP THE GRILL AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FOG LIGHT. THIS ONE GUY WAS NICE ENOUGH TO TAKE MY TIRES UP TO HIS SHOP AND FIX THEM FOR FREE. WHEN I TRIED TO PAY HIM HE TOLD ME NO BECAUSE HE WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO HELP HIS WIFE THE WAY HE HELPED ME. NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED.

OKAY, SO I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW, I WAS HARRASSED/HAZED SATURDAY NIGHT. I WENT TO IT'Z FOR MY AUNTS BACHLORETTE PARTY. WE WERE ALL ON THE PATIO. AND BOUT 4 PEOPLE HAD DECIDED TO DRAG ME ON THE DANCE FLOOR.....LINDSEY TEW DOESN'T DANCE...........THANK YOU VERY MUCH(UNLESS I AM REALLY DRUNK AND THE MACHERENA IS PLAYING)!!!!

(HERE IS A DEFENITION FROM http://www.wikipedia.org/)

HARASSMENT- REFERS TO A WIDE SPECTRUM OF OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR.

SPECIAL NOTE-- SATURDAY NIGHT I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I WAS BEING HARASSED, BUT THEY DID ATTEMPT TO GET ME TO DANCE

ADDICTIONS

THE TERM "ADDICTION" IS USED IN MANY CONTEXTS TO DESCRIBE AN OBSESSION, COMPULSION, OR EXCESSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE, SUCH AS: DRUG ADDICTION, VIDEO GAME ADDICTION, CRIME, MONEY, ALCOHOLISM, WORK ADICTION, COMPULSIVE OVEREATING, PROBLEM GAMBELING, COMPUTER ADDICTION, PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION, PLASTIC SUGREY ADDICTION, ETC.

BUT I THINK I HAVE A CASUAL ADDICTION. THE WORD ADDICTION IS USED COLLOQUIALY TO REFER TO SOMETHING FOR WHICH A PERSON HAS A PASSION SUCH AS, BOOKS, CHOCLATE, WORK, THE WEB, RUNNING, POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTING, OR EATING. I WATCH PARANORMAL STATE EXCESSIVELY. I ALSO LOVE GHOST HUNTERS (A.K.A TAPS). I ALSO FOUND ANOTHER GHOST HUNTING SHOW THIS PAST FRIDAY, GHOST ADVENTRUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY I LIKE THESE SHOWS. I'M WEIRD, I KNOW.

TELEVISION ADDICTION IS A DISORDER WHERE THE SUBJECT HAS A COMPULSION TO WATCH TELEVISION. THE COMPULSION CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN MANY CASES. IT HAS MANY PARALLELS TO OTHER FORMS OF ADDICTIONS, SUCH AS DRUGS OR GAMBELING, WHICH CREATE A ALTERED STATE OF MIND. TELEVISION ADDICTION BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN THE SUBJECT DOES NOT WANT TO WATCH TV BUT EXPREIENCES AN UNCONTROLLABLE COMPULSION TO START AND CONTINUE WATCHING. THE SUBJECT MAY NOT ACCOMPLISH TASKS OR GOALS THAT HE OR SHE FEELS IS IMPORTANT. PEOPLE WATCH T.V. MORE THAN ANYOTHER ACTIVITY: 3.5 HOURS A DAYIS AVERAGE. FOR READING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES FIGURES DO NOT GO ABOVE 30 MIN.

ALL OF THIS INFORMATION CAME FROM THE WEBSITE http://www.wikipedia.com/, I AM NOT A DOCTOR, OR A PHYCOLOGIST, I AM A COSMETOLOGIST........I CAN NOT FIX YOUR PROBLEM BUT I AM NOSY ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM. SO, IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME I'LL LISTEN, BUT I WONT FIX IT.

MY THOUGHTS: IF YOU CAN'T GET SHIT DONE WHILE WATCHING T.V. THEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. AT LEAST DO WHAT I DO AND CLEAN WHILE THE COMMERCIALS ARE ON.....FOLD CLOTHES WHILE WATCHING TV. IF YOU HAVE A TELEVISION ADDICTION THE I THINK YOU SHOULD WATCH THE TV SHOWS I AM ADDICTED TO SO I CAN TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THEM. PARANORMAL STATE ON MONDAY NIGHTS ON A&E (SHOW STARTS AT 10) , GHOST HUNTERS ON SCI FI COMES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AT 7 OR 8, AND GHOST ADVETURES ON FRIDAY NIGHTS ON THE TRAVEL CHANNEL.

XOXO,
LINDSEY

YOUNG LOVE

YOU KNOW, I NEVER, IN A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT I WOULD GET MARRIED 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS BEFOR I TURNED 21. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A INDEPENDT PERSON, AND I HAVE BIG DREAM FOR MY CAREER AND MYSELF. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE OUT ON MY OWN BEFORE I EVEN GOT IN A SEROUS RELATIONSHIP....I DIDN'T EVEN WANT ROOM MATES.....I WANTED TO LIVE COMPLETELY ALONE......WHICH MENT I HAD TO HAVE A HUGE CLIENTELE. I WANTED TO DO THAT JUST SO I KNEW THAT I WOULD BE STABLE ON MY OWN. BUT I ALWAYS HAD TO REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING HAPPNES IN GOD'S TIME...NOT MINE. WHEN PEOPLE FOUND OUT I WAS GOING TO GET MARRIED.....PEOPLE ASKED ME, "LINDSEY, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????? YOU ARE TOO YOUNG. MARRAGE ISN'T EASY, IT'S A BIG RESPONSABILITY. " I KNEW THAT BEFORE I EVEN CONSIDERED GETTING MARRIED. I REALIZED ON MY OWN I COULDN'T CALL ON MOMMY AND DADDY TO HELP ME ANYMORE. I KNEW THAT I WASN'T JUST ABOUT ME ANYMORE, I COULDN'T GO BLOW MONEY ON GETTING MY NAILS DONE OR GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE....I REALIZED, ON MY OWN, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HELP PAY THE BILLS, AND I COULD NOT LIVE ABOVE MY MEANS, (THAT IS WHY I DON'T OWN A CREDIT CARD). SHAWN AND I DEFENATLLY TOOK OUR TIME.....WE DATED FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, THEN GOT ENGAGED, THEN WAITED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR TO GET MARRIED....AND WE DIDN'T LIVE TOGETHER UNTIL WE GOT MARRIED.....THAT SUPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE. I JUST WANTED EVERYONE, WHO DOUBTED US, AND TRIED TO TALK ME OUT OF MARRAGE, TO KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING FANTASTIC!!!!! HOW MANY 21 YEAR OLDS BUY A HOUSE WITH THEIR HUSBAND??????? NOT A LOT. WE'VE EVEN BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING BAD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GO THROUGH, (HIS HUGE ACCIDENT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW). IF I DIDN'T THINK I COULD HANDLE IT I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER HUSBAND UNLESS IT WAS......WELL, YOU KNOW.....HAHA!!!!!!!

QUOTES

AS WE GROW UP, WE LEARN THAT EVEN THE ONE PERSON WHO WASN'T SUPPOSED TO LET YOU DOWN, PROBABLLY WILL.  YOU WILL HAVE YOUR HEART BROKEN, PROBABLLY MORE THAN ONCE, AND IT'S HARDER EVERY TIME.  YOU'LL BREAK HEARTS TOO, SO REMEMBER HOW YOU FELT WHEN YOURS WAS BROKEN.  YOU'LL FIGHT WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND. YOU'LL BLAME YOUR NEW LOVE FOR WHAT THE OLD ONE DID.  YOU WILL CRY BECAUSE TIME IS PASSING TOO FAST, AND EVENTUALLY LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE.  SO TAKE TOO MANY PICTURES, AND LAUGH TOO MUCH, AND LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HURT, BECAUSE EVERY SIXTY SECONDS YOU SPEND UPSET IS A MINUTE OF HAPPINESS YOU WILL  NEVER GET BACK.  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY IN THE END, AND IF EVERYTHING ISN'T OKAY THEN IT ISN'T THE END.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NEVER TAKE SOMEONE FOR GRANTED.  HOLD EVERYONE CLOSE TO YOUR HEART, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT WAKE UP ONE DAY AND REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE LOST A DIAMOND WHILE YOU WERE COLLECTING STONES.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS TO EVER EXPERIENCE IS THE FEELING OF RISING.  RISING OVER THOSE MOTHE FUCKERS WHO PUT YOU DOWN.  THE FEELING OF REALIZING SOME ONE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU AND NEVER DID.  THE FEELING OF NOT ONLY REALIZING HOW DECEIVING PEOPLE CAN BE BUT BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON.  IT'S THE FEELING OF NOT REGRETTING ANYTHING.  BUT THE FELLING OF LIVING YOUR LIFE WITHOUT HESITATION.  NOT THE FEELING OF JUST SAYING "FUCK  IT-I AM BETTER THAN THAT" BUT PROVING THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT.  IT'S THE FEELING OF LIFE.  IT'S THE FEELING OF DESPIAR TURNING INTO HOPE.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED MY QUOTES!!  MY FAVORITE ONE IS THE LAST ONE....LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.....WHICH ONE WAS YOUR FAVOITE????

XOXO,

FACTS ABOUT ME AND WHAT THEY MEAN!!!!

SO............TODAY I THINK I WILL DO A LITTLE RESEARCH. NOT ABOUT THE BACKSTREET BOYS, JONAS BROTHERS, PARANORMAL STATE, OR GHOST HUNTERS, (THAT'S WHAT I NORMALLY "RESEARCH"). I WILL RESEARCH THINGS ABOUT ME AND WHAT THEY MEAN. I THINK I WILL RESEARCH, RED HEADS, LEFTIES, AND GEMINI'S (THE HORASCOPE).

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN MY NATRUAL COLOR, OR IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE YOU'VE SEEN MY NATRUAL COLOR........BUT IT IS RED........SIMILAR TO LINDSAY LOHAN.....BUT I AM A LOT DIFFRENT THAN HER.

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT REDHEADS:

• LESS THAN 4% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAVE RED HAIR, LESS THAN 2% IN AMERICA. MOST EXIST IN THE U.K, THE REPUBLIC OF IERLAND, AND AUSTRALIA.
• A 2002 STUDY FOUND THAT REDHEADS ARE HARDER TO SEDATE THAN ANY OTHER PEOPLE REQUIRING 20% MORE ANESTHIA. INADEQUATE DOES CAUSE PEOPLE TO WAKE UP DURING SURGERY AND HAVE INCREASED RECALL IN THE PROCEDURE, (THAT HAS PERSONALLY HAPPNED TO ME).
• REDHEADS DON'T TURN GREY, THEY TURN SANDY, THEN WHITE. THEY ALSO LOOSE THIR COLOR LATER IN LIFE.
• THE FIRST HUMAN REDHEADS FIRST WALKED THE EARTH 50,000 YEARS AGO IN AFRICA THEN SPREAD THROUGHOUT NORTHERN EUROPE.
• IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY REDHEADS TURN INTO VAMPIRES WHEN THEY DIE.

ANOTHER THING ABOUT ME IS I AM LEFT HANDED.....I LIKE BEING LEFT HANDED, BUT IT MAKES ME DIFFRENT.

• 12% OF THE WORLD IS LEFT HANDED
• LEFT HANDED PEOPLE ARE MORE PRONE TO HAVING ALLERGIES, INSOMNIA AND MIGRANES.
• BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE RIGHT HANDED BUT MY BROTHER (WHOM IS MY ONLY SIBLING) AND I ARE LEFT HANDED.
• THERE ARE MORE LEFT HANDED BOYS THAN GIRLS.
• A LIST OF LEFT HANDED CELEBRITIES ARE: BABE RUTH, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, BRUCE WILLIS, DICK VAN DYKE, GOLDIE HAWN, JERRY SEINFEILD, LARRY BIRD, MARLYN MONROE, OPRA, PRINCE CHARLES AND WILLIAM, ZAC HANSON AND JOSH LIGHT. KURT COBAIN, JIMI HINDRICKS, TIM ALLAN, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, KERMIT THE FROG, AND NICOLE KIDMAN.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, GEMINI, THE SIGHN OF THE TWIN. HERE ARE A FEW FACTS:

• GEMINI'S LIKE TO SOCIALIZE AND GOSSIP.
• GEMINI'S OFTEN INSTIGATE OF PRACTICAL JOKES AND ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF WAYS TO TRICK SOMEONE.
• VERY MOODY
• THE BIRTHDAY JUNE 9 MEANS: YOU ARE BORN IDEALIST, WITH MORE PET CAUSE THAN YOU CAN COUNT. YOU PREFER TO BE AROUND OTHERS WHILE WORKING AND RELAXING. GENEROUS AND GIVING, YOU BELEIVE YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD ONE PERSON AT A TIME. YOU ARE OPEN MINDED AND TOLERANT. PEOPLE FEEL THEY CAN TELL YOU ANYTHING. MY STRENGTH: MY GO-WITH-THE FLOW FLEXIBALITY (AT LEAST I HOPE I AM LIKE THAT). MY WEAKNESS: MY FLARE FOR THE OVERDRAMATIC. ( I CAN BE DREMATIC)
• CELEBRITIES WHO ARE GEMINI'S: DREW CAREY (MAY 23), MIKE MYERS (MAY 25), BROOK SHEILDS (MAY 31) CLINT EASTWOOD (MAY 31), HEIDI KLOOM (JUNE 1) MARLYN MONROE (JUNE 1), KANYE WEST (JUNE 8), JOHNNY DEPP (JUNE 9), MICHAEL J. FOX (JUNE 9), TIM ALLEN (JUNE 13).

THERE IS MY RESEARCH....HOPE YOU ENJOY.........IF YOU DIDN'T, OH WELL, THEN GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT......I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO BULL SHIT PAPERS IN SCHOOL......I AM SURE I CAN BULL SHIT A BLOG TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XOXO,

LINDSEY

SO....MAYBE I'LL FIND SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT THIS TIME!!!!

SO, I HAVE A STRANGE ADDICTION. I LIKE.....OR LOVE....GHOST HUNTING SHOWS. I LIKE GHOST HUNTERS AND I'M EXTREMELY ADDICTED TO PARANORMAL STATE. ACTUALLY ONE OF THE GUYS FROM PARANORMAL STATE GOT ME DOING THIS WHOLE "BLOGGER" THING.....I ALWAYS READ HIS....HE ALWAYS HAS SOME RANDOM SHIT TO READ ABOUT......IT'S FUNNY. I WAS ACTUALLY JUST DOING A LIVE CHAT WITH THE MAIN GUY FROM PARANORMAL STATE....RYAN BUELL......HE DIDN'T ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS.....I'M A LITTLE DISAPINTED, BUT I'LL GET OVER IT!!! I ALSO DID A JONAS BROTHERS LIVE CHAT......THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON BOTH OF THE CHATS, SO........BUT I DID DO A CHAT WITH A GUY WHO GUEST STARS ON PARANORMAL STATE.....CHAD, HE ANSWERED SOME OF MY QUESTIONS.........HE'S AWESOME, HE LIKES MEXICAN FOOD LIKE ME!!! MAYBE THAT'S WHY I AM A FAT ASS.....LOL!!!! SO EVERYONE SHOULD DEFENATLLY CHECK OUT THOSE SHOWS. PARANORMAL STATE COMES ON MONDAY NIGHTS FROM 10-MIDNIGHT AND GHOST HUNTERS FROM 7 OR 8 TO MIDNIGHT. IF A GUY NAMED BRIAN IS ON GHOST HUNTERS.....IT'S OKAY IF HE GETS ON YOUR NEVERS......HE GETS ON MINE TO!! THAT'S SAD WHEN SOMEONE ON T.V. GETS ON YOUR NERVES. AND IF YOU ARE BOY CRAZY LIKE I USE TO BE (I.E ALL OF THE YOUNG LADIES READING THIS) THERE ARE CUTE BOYS ON THE SHOW.

SO.....I GOT SOME REALLY EXCITING NEWS THE OTHER DAY......I GET TO SEE NO DOUBT AND PARAMORE IN CONCERT THE DAY BEFORE MY 22ND BIRTHDAY. MY FREIND MARY SUSAN'S BOYFRIEND BOUGHT HER TICKETS FOR HER BIRTHDAY AND HE CANT GO SO SHE IS GIVING ME THE OTHER TICKET FOR MY BIRTHDAY....I AM REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WE TRIED TO WIN THE TICKETS ON THE RADIO, AND WE FAILED, MISERABLY. WE WERE REALLY BORED AT WORK.....(WHEN I DID WORK WITH HER). I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TOP THAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO FOR MY BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR.....IT'S JUNE 9, I GUESS I BETTER FIGURE OUT SOMETHING, I HAVE TO WORK THAT DAY.......I DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT I DID LAST YEAR.....THAT WAS A BIG MESS.......I DID WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY TURN 21. LAST YEAR MY BIRTHDAY WAS ON A MONDAY SO WE WENT OUT THAT WEEKEND....SO THAT SATURDAY NIGHT THE 14TH WE WENT OUT.......AND THE NEXT DAY WAS FATHERS DAY.......MY DAD GOT A SPECIAL FATHERS DAY PRESENT.........LOL.....HUNGOVER LINDSEY. WON'T DO THAT EVER AGIN!!!!

QUOTE- "YOU DON'T CHOOSE THE ONE YOU FALL FOR, YOU JUST FALL. AND YOU GET THIS PEROSN WHO IS ALL WROG, AND YET, SO RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME. YOU JUST KNOW THAT YOU LIKE THEM SO MUCH, EXCEPT SOMETIMES THEY DRIVE YOU COMPLEETLY INSANE, AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN IT. THE REASON IT'S SO CONFUSING IS BECAUSE IT'S LOVE, AND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHALLANGES, WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT?"

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD EVENING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY BLOG. ALWAYS REMEMBER, SMILES ARE CONTAGEIOUS!!!

XOXO,

LINDSEY
