"today you are you, that is truer than true...

...There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
- Dr. Seuss

I think I've found my life calling: to be Thing 2 and help children make Horton (Hears a Who) ears. ;) In celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2nd), my local library hosted a Dr. Seuss Night and it was off the heezy parcheesi!!!! I volunteered to help out for community service hours and I expected it to be a bit mundane and routine as community service can be sometimes when you do too much of it. But this was not only fun, but it was also one of the best nights of my life!!! Seeing children smile and happy and just being themselves without any fear makes me want to go back to elementary school and be a kid forever (not to mention, their chairs actually fit me).

But it always disappoints me to think that in the future many of these happy little kids will be just like the high school students I'm surrounded by everyday, who swear, complain about how life stinks, school stinks, and believe that they have no future. I'm not sure what I will be in the future, but I know one thing - I want to make a difference in these young children's lives and the lives of others. I wish every child could reach their full potential, and it breaks my heart to think that many of them will be like the students around me today. Anyway, I'm so glad our community had a fun night like this to help stop that evil permeation of negativity! Go happiness!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

(I know Clifford isn't supposed to be here, but I guess he sneaked in.. :D)

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

Thank you Dr. Seuss. :)

Here are a few pictures from my birthday party at the bowling alley! Can you catch the neon theme? ;) And a late thank you for all the birthday wishes! I couldn't have asked for a better 17th. You guys rock my neon socks. :)

I promise what my friends are doing in the background is nothing scandalous!!!

That cookie cake was so delicious. I wish Mrs. Fields was my grandma.

song of the moment:

argyle, sparkles, and cake

This weekend, I bought a few accessories (and some clothes that I will wear and post later). and I thought I'd share some pictures with you. :)

(I wasn't ready for this picture, but it turned out better than my other ones) :{D

This week I am loaded with homework, essays and so much business, I probably shouldn't even be blogging right now; so if I am lucky enough to post anything, I'm sorry if they seem half-hearted, but I promise I am doing my best!

Happy Monday and I hope you have a beautiful week. :)

PS. Cake Boss is my favorite reality TV show. Check it! (I want to have my future wedding cake made there!) Check out more pics of his cakes here (I think the cakes on his show look prettier strangely). Buddy is such a funny man. :)




Oh! And more good news: My Owl Barn is having an awesome giveaway. That necklace is like a treasure from some divine paradise!
