"We live by the currents, play by the tides, and follow the sun..."

SUMMER: When the waves kiss your feet, the sand is your seat, and your friends outnumber the stars*

Lazy days, beautiful nights, beachy hair, water fights, hot guys, tanned skin, schools out, summers in.

Because, its summertimes, and the memories are just waiting to happen.

Summer is when girls go barefoot, and there hearts are as free as there toes.

Palm trees, ocean breeze, lets go cruising, you and me, hot hair, sunkissed hair, endless summer, take me there <3

Beach days and flip flops. Bathing suits, tank tops. Short shorts, banging tan. Hot days, warm sand. Summer lovin, beach gear. Get ready, summer's here.

Summer is just one long weekend when everyone is having a good time.

Mhmm, the smell of suntan lotion, the salt in your hair, the warm sun beating on your skin. It doesnt get much better than summer. I am a true summer girl. Winter kills me. I do not like snow (Thanks alot 24 inches.) I hate being cooped up. I do not like the smell of winter. I know, weird, weird stuff. I love summer. There is this little town where I live. Its about 30 minutes away. The ultimate beach town. The town you see in movies, but never really though existed. The faded/broken signs, everyone is walking, no matter where you are in the town, your only a 4 minute walk from the beach. Every store you walk into is selling suntan lotion, and lip balm. Every person from the ages of 17-28 know the town, and still love to visit. Dewey. Its never fully packed, only locals hang out there. Tourists travel either another half an hour to reach Ocean City, or 10 minutes to reach Rehobeth Beach. Its the perfect place. My friend Sam and I, go from 8 in the morning till at least 12 at night, walking around, visiting the restraunts, laying on the beach, meeting up with friends, ohhh, just talking about it makes me miss it. Being cooped up for so long has been killing me. I cannot wait to get my bathing suits out and get ready to tan! I love the relaxed feeling of summer, sleeping in, fresh cut grass, $5 flipflops, mhmm. I really want to get a night job down at the beach this summer. I can't wait! I have already purchased 2 bathing suits. Its February, and there is still snow on the ground. Oops!

Making the decision to have a child is momentous, it is to decide forever o have your heart go walking around outside your body. -Elizabeth Stone

I just want to talk about my mom. I gave her hell growing up. I was onery, and extremely hyper active. I could tell you stories that may scare most sensable young women into never having children, in fear, they may be as agonizing as I was. I don't want you to get the wrong impression. I was a well mannered kid, but I cant tell you how many spankings it took to finally get me that way. I was extremely hard headed. I remember my mom telling me right before she spanked me "Ana, I am only doing this because I love you." That sentence right there was a major flaw in our relationship, as she told me this, my 6 year old little mind was thinking "Ok, really crazy lady, I am not stupid, if you loved me, I would be doing the same exact rotten thing I was doing, without getting in trouble for it, your insane to believe this is an act of love." Now that I see the kind of person I grew up to be, I understand what she was saying. She helped me become a strong, determined, independent young lady. Through fights, and screaming matches, through me thinking my mom was an insane crazy person, she stood by me. She did yell at me when I got out of hand, and looking back, I see I deserved (most :]) of it. Sometimes, I start talking, and I cant believe the words coming out of my mouth.

[[I am becoming a little Cindy.]]

Yes, I am. I am becoming my mother. Which isnt all bad. My mom and I, are talented. You see, we can laugh at the same thing, for 15 minutes straight, not able to breathe, tears streaming down our faces, my mom usually starts snorting, at something no one else in the room find funny. The song by Lady Gaga Bad Romance? Heard of it? "Ra Ra Ra Ga Ga Ga Ro Ra, Rum La La". It killed us, my sister and dad had to listen to the continual giggling as we filled in the "Ra Ra Ra Ga Ga Ga... with what ever insane words/sounds that came to our heads. Thats my mom and I. She has truely become one of my best friends. And I love her dearly. I do not know where I would be without my mom.

Drum roll

Da-Da-Da-Daaaaaaa

There she is, the prettiest lady in the whole wide world.

Here it is, exercise update. As I type this, my shoulder muscles ache, and I feel as if I can finally really know where my abdomen mucsles are realy located, due to the fact, they are is misery as well. Here are some pictures, and some new measurements.

Wasit: 28 1/4

Hip: 43 1/2

Thigh: 24

Bust: 37

Arms: 12

Total success, I am missing 3/4 of an inch from the waist, but I found 1/2 of an inch in my butt (ugh!). Another 1/2 is missing from my thigh, as well as a 1/2 inch in my chest, arms are the same. Why must I have a bigger butt?! So, basically everything is shrinking, except my dang derrière. Just keep faith, this is going to be a resolution I stick to!

Oh Valentines Day. The same blog post has been posted by millions and millions of fellow bloggers all tis month. The day singles hate, and the day the attached stress weeks over. Its the day us, sinlges, are supposed to feel bad over, and its supposed to be the the most romantic day of the year for those in relationships.

Val-en-tine: [val-uyh-tayhn]

a sweetheart chosen or greeted on this day.

((Thank you dictionary.com)) My sweetheart, is my dear friend Brittanie, I am borrowing her from her boyfriend for the day. He is such a doll. She is my special sweetheart chosen for the day. I tried for my dear Forrest Griffin, but I dont think that one will be happening this year. Ill try agian this year. Brittianie just informed me, she will be baking me a cake for Valentines day, Well P90X,

looks as if all your hard work is going out the window ;). How is everyone else speinding their holiday? To those who are single: Be proud! One of my friends told me "Your not single because your not good enough, your single because you havent found one good enough for YOU". Just because your single, doesn't mean you can't send or recieve cute gifts, or go out to dinner with any

special person, after all, Valentines Day is about spending the day and truely appreciating those you LOVE. Who better than your friends or family? Those who are attatched, really truely treasure the person you are with. And don't forget about those who aren't your significant other.

On a much more positive note (Can't every one tell I am in the post relationship stage? haha, Im sorry) I can't wait to see the movie Valentines Day.It looks like such a fantastic cast (come one TAYLOR SWIFT!!) Im going to have to get a couple girlfriends together and check it out. I cannot waittt!

“I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.” - Joan Rivers

Oh geez. Here we go, another craze. Yes, its hit me, its time to follow out one of my New Years Relselusions. The same one millions upon millions of well-padded Americans made, and make EVERY STINKIN year. Loosing weight, getting fit, excercising, conditioning, working out, sharpening, pumping iron, whatever fancy word you have for it. Im going to do it. Im going to look the best I ever have this summer. No more Wendy's. Ok lets just be realisitc. I prob will STILL find my little self at Wendy's devoring a 5 peice nugget. But not every day on my breaks! So I am planning on doing p90x at east 4 times a week. What is p90x?? Its a insanely brutal workout, i can barely get past the warm up... Looks as if I have ALOT of work to do. Here are my before shots. and i will post some after shots, when they happen. So please, encourage me fellow bloggers, to hopefully carry out on of my New Years Resolutions, and not be part o the 87% of Americans who fail :)
