why do most of my friends just want to be my friend when they break up with their boyfriend?! grr. that's not a friendship, that's a therapist! i think i need to start charging... ;)

from Forbes with love.

odd. :)

i woke up this morning backwards in my bed. how did that happen!?!

worth a click everyday!

you 'lil jokester!

tough cookies.

grr!

good advice.

"do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

i have a problem.

i've had a headache all day and i hardly ever get them! so i stop for a moment to ponder what may be the source of this annoying thumping in my head.

i didn't go out last night, i didn't even have coffee this morning. hmmmm....


meanwhile i begin to crave a delicious Starbucks sugar free soy vanilla latte, [mmmm...]

then it hits me!


yam! zowwy! crash!


[haha... don't worry, that was just for dramatic effect.]




joyce has an addiction to caffeine!!!
















and i like my addiciton. is that bad?! ;)

if only i knew this sooner ;)

a best friend.

a best friend is a gift to cherish forever. it's a special bond that crosses the boundaries of time and distance. time passes but a best friend is constant in a world of change. like a fine wine or vintage car, their friendship gets better with age. life may have it's ups and downs but their shared dreams continue. i don't know where i'd be without my best friend. :)

words to live by.

Do what makes you happy.
Be with who makes you smile.
Laugh as much as you breathe.
Love as long as you live.

friends: footprints on our hearts.

quote of the day.

The Warrior's Reminder
by: erykah badu

i am awake,
my mind is free,
i am creative,
i love myself,
my willpower is strong,
i am brave,
i practice patience,
i don't judge folks,
i give,
not to receive,
i don't expect,
i accept,
i listen more than i talk,
i know i'll change,
i know you'll change,
i'll hold on one more day,
i start over when necessary,
i create my own situations,
i am cosmic,
i do not have the answers,
i desire to learn,
i am the plan,
i am strong,
i am weak,
i want to grow,
i know i will,
i take on responsiblity,
i hide myself from no one,
i'm on my path,

warriors walk alone,
i won't let my focus change,
taking out the demons in my range...

Grr.

...i'm trying to be this warrior, and don't worry, i will succeed. :)

love. life. laughter.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt, because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

scars.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel..
