Every now and then I get a little bit tired...

~I want to go there. All by myself. And just think. Relax.

~Repeats over and over: God has the perfect guy for me, God has the perfect guy for me....

It'd be so awesome to know who he is. Then you wouldn't have to stress over any other guys...and the little things that they say or do that hurt you, maybe wouldn't hurt so much. Maybe you wouldn't even care, and you'd think "Pfft! Why should I care what he's doing, or what he thinks?" Oh, if only, if only...

~I really need to finish my schoolwork. I have no ambition. Ay ay ay.

~If I were Rose, I would've just let myself fall asleep, while holding Jack's hand in the end. Morbid, I know. But that's why it's good I'm not her, I suppose.

~I'm going to go upstairs now, climb into my cozy warm bed, and fall asleep while holding my Coca-Cola can pillow, and attempting to think joyful thoughts. Hopefully, I'll make it through the night with no scary dreams of spiders or getting stranded (that was a lovely dream I had last night) and wake up in the morning in a better, more positive mood. Granted, I'll not have dilated eyes anymore (I went to the eye doctor today), and thus light won't be bothering me so much and giving me a seemingly neverending headache (very inconvenient).

*sigh*

All right, all right...I confess!

Thanks for the idea, Jocee! ;D

Confessions are always fun :)

~Cookie dough blizzards hold a big chunk of my heart. So much so, that I wouldn't even mind if my future husband hid the "will you marry me" ring inside of a cookie dough blizzard. As long as he doesn't let me choke...BUT that's like, #38 on the list of ways I'd like to be proposed to ;)

{I couldn't bare to put a picture of a spider}

~I've been having recurring dreams lately of spiders being in my bed, and then I wake up and jump out of bed, hyperventilate, and then realize that it was way too dark for me to have actually seen a spider. It's intense. (And, I guess that's not really a confession...Oh, well)

~I feel like I'm not overly personal with my blog...but I don't feel too bad about it since my title is Bits and Pieces, and that's what I do: give you bits and pieces of my days, of my silly thoughts...and hopefully it brings a little tiny bubble of joy into your day. ;)

that's so not good...

~Today...I bought a book (or two). And the one wasn't even one that was on my pile. Gah.

Ha!!! Oh my gosh! I don't know if I should offended, or simply nod my head in agreement!

~I have an insanely hard time parking. It's pathetic. Like, where the car should be all parallel-like to the yellow lines, I end up diagonal across the space. How? Who knows.

BUT I can parallel park, and pretty darn well!

I am so backwards.

~I'm feeling bitter right now. Hateful. Angry. And you wanna know why?

Because I'm freezing. It is April! April!!! Shouldn't it be WARM by now?? Ah, I can't take it anymore!! I'm moving to Florida!!

pretty...

~Okay, here's a real confession for ya: I am a sucker for Lifetime movies. Yep. The real cheesy, yet heartfelt ones? Oooh yeah. But I do stay away from the creepy, and just plain nasty ones. They're only like 1/4 of all the movies they play though, anyways, so it all works out ;)

~I talk to our dogs like they're people. I'm home alone a lot though...and I just have to talk! So why not talk to them, eh?

~So Ems, my aunt, had been talking once about how the one boy she works with always uses the phrase "I'm sick about it." And I've realized, hey, it's a pretty good phrase! At least for me. The littlest thing will happen, something that would be insignificant to someone else, and I'm sick about it. It's rough.

~I wish Prince Phillip was real. And that he was MY prince, not Aurora's (pffft). She is so undeserving...jk, jk, but still. *sad*

~I LOVE this song. Yes, it's sad. But it's absolutely beautiful. This band is awesome, by the way.

The end. ;D

Dolphins, and shelties, and Leo, oh my!

It's Friday night. I'm 18 years old. What am I supposed to be doing? Isn't it like, partying, hanging out with all my homies, yadda yadda?

Oh puhlease.

{via}

Tonight began with me babysitting my little siblings, and watching Flipper with them; the one with Elijah Wood??? I'm pretty sure they were completely confused by my squeals of "Awwwww he's so cute!", considering they obviously don't yet understand that hellooo, this is Frodo Baggins! At an adorable, teenage-boy-voice age!! Eeep! So cute.

{via}

Then we went outside and watched the dogs frolic around in the (warm) green grass...

{via}

Then, since the kiddos were begging Dad for McDonald's for dinner, we had McDonald's, which I haven't had in forever. And in all honesty, it actually really does taste better if you wait a couple months between your times eating there ;)

(But now, that picture's actually making me nauseous...so I think I'll wait a while till I eat there again!)

{via}

So now, I shall proceed to go jump into my bed, cuddle up with Seth, my stuffed wolf (who is also my movie watching pal; pffft so what if I'm a technical "adult"??), and watch Titanic for the first time in a long time, all the while wishing I had some ice cream (who doesn't?) and of course, spilling a few tears here and there (it's who I am).

{via}

OH and on a side note, I just wanted to tell you: while working at a bookstore would seem like a beautiful thing for a book lover...well, it is. Except that I've already got a pile of books that comes up at least to my knees, if not past them. Plus, I totaled them all up today, and it all comes out to about *cough* 80 dollars *cough* with my discount *cough*. BUT there are a TON of books included in that!! At least 22 of them! But alas, that'll be a good chunk of my paycheck...so I'm thinking I'm not going to be buying them all at once ;) But the only problem with that is that I bet that as I buy, I'll simply replace what I just bought with even more books...ay ay ay. Do you see my dilemma? It's rough.

(but I have to say...it's positively wonderful to be constantly surrounded by the smell of books again) ;)

Okay. I'mma go have my cozy Friday night now. Night ya'll. :D

I feel like if I could, I would totally be someone who had a ton of random, somewhat exotic pets: ya know, a fox, a raccoon, a pig, maybe a tiger...

{some of my latest favorite weheartit discoveries}

I just want to cuddle with him!!

That tree looks like the kind of tree that you would climb up and sleep in, and then you'd totally be lulled to sleep by a fairy singing. (Yeah, that's not weird at all...)

*nods head*

Confession: I often wish I had brown hair. Then maybe I'd look this cute holding an owl.

Repeats: I just want to cuddle with him!!!

Anne: You just think that you love me.

Gilbert: Anne, I've loved you as long as I can remember.

...*swoon*

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do? We swim!

This is so cool. In fact, I would totally do this. But I don't have the heart to cut up a book... :/

Smeagol: It's my birthday, and I wants it! *rubs hands together*

(its not really my birthday though) :D

Colorful fishies! Oooh!

My favorite Flynn moment. Cause Flynn's all like "Ooooh!" then Max is all like "Uh-huhhh", and Flynn's all like "Shush!". So adorable.

Do you suppose I could live there someday?

I wonder if it would be cold...

Yup. I was meant to be a panda.

*cough* I may, or may not have an itty bitty crush on Skandar *cough*

When I was little, I would always go out and swing on our swingset with my headphones in, whether it was cold or hot, snowing or raining; ell, not downpouring, but if it was just sprinkling I'd stay out. I looooved it. This picture reminds me of that, because she looks cold, and like it's about to rain, but she's like "I'm sooo not going inside."

Heh heh.

My feelings are secretly hurt just a tiny bit whenever people insult raccoons. It like, hurts my heart, yo.

Oh my gosh. I wonder if we have smiley fries. My stomach is sooo growling! I wonder if it would be weird to eat those at 10 in the morning...Pfffft who cares, eh?? If we got 'em, I'm going for it!! :D :D :D

Have a spectacular day, chickadees. ;)

the precious little (or not so little) moments in life

Don't you ever just have those thoughts that are racing through your head, but when you want to share them...you can't find the words? Like this picture...if you're like me, it just overwhelms you, and makes your heart want to burst, but...there simply are no words.

I watched the most precious, most beautiful show tonight, called "Coming Home", on the Lifetime channel; friends, if you're a TV person at all, or even if you're not, you have got to watch at least one episode of this show; I don't know that I've ever seen anything so touching, and so indescribably beautiful! In each episode (I believe; this was my first), a few stories are shared where kids, girlfriends, parents, are surprised by their soldiers coming home...and let me just say that it was within 3 minutes of the show starting that I couldn't help but sob; and then that lasted for pretty much the entire hour :P I'm an emotional person, but hey, I'm pretty sure that this would make even the most unemotional person tear up.

And just because it's beautiful:

and because it fits:

John: "...Because no matter what I'm doing, no matter where I am, this moon will always be the same size as yours...half a world away."

Sweet dreams, my chickadees.

(and go Tivo this show!)

Oh, to go to Narnia...

{via}

I want to go to Narnia.

I mean, who doesn't?

But I don't think I could handle going, then coming back, going, then coming back, going, and then never going back! Eeeep. It actually makes me sick to my stomach when Aslan tells Lucy and Edmund that they're not going to return to Narnia...

I just could NOT handle that.

I almost think that I'd rather not go at all, then to go and then never be able to return...I just imagine that that would be somewhat torturous; that even though Aslan outright told me that I'd never return, I would spend the rest of my life watching for those little Narnia clues...

I'm the type of person who would become eternally depressed.

Um. So maybe I should rephrase my first sentence of "I want to go to Narnia".....

PS: I feel like I've been ridiculously busy these past few days, and that it's just going to continue on for the next few week or two! So I'll try to post my silly little things when I can, and I'll also try my very best to keep up my commenting ;) But I definitely wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for understanding, and simply for just being awesome. I mean, I'm up to 85 followers!! I never would've imagined that I'd have 85 blogger chickadees(pals)! I mean, goodness gracious! That's more than I'd have ever asked for! But alas, I love all of you, and am so glad that you're here ;)

Buenas noches, mi amigas! (or amigos...) ;)

A non-Disney jumble of thoughts *sigh of relief*

1. Okay guys. I love Disney. It brings me joy. But I don't know if I can go all month!! I mean, today was only "F" and already, I'm like ".....". So, uh, we'll see if I make it...

I'm actually almost considering just failing the challenge all together, and finishing out with one night each week designated to ABC Disney. Thoughts? I mean, I feel like it'd be more enjoyable...Hmmm.

2. So today, I had my first actual day of work in the longest time!!! Oh my goodness, it's just so refreshing! See, at the outlet mall nearby, there's a store opening called "Book Warehouse" and that's where I'm now working! Now, it's not open just yet...today we staff members were there while it was being painted and set up, and so we just got the basics down and cleaned. But it was an 8 hour day, and it was just so great!! It's been like, a year and a half since I worked a legit 8 hour day. And it's SO cool to be there when the store is starting out: we get to see it come together, and learn the system of it together as a team...I'm super happy about that. See, I've had 2 other jobs besides this, both where I was coming in as a brand new person with no clue what she was doing, and it was just blahhhh. But at this store, we're all learning together, and it's just such a relief.

Not to mention, it is a bookstore. *cough* Someone's probably gonna end up spending more than she's earning...*cough*

3. Deleting people off of Facebook is refreshing. I mean, lately I'm just like "ugh Facebook" anytime I'm on it, and "ugh people" anytime I'm on it. Especially being home schooled this year, I realize that so many of the people I'm "friends" with, I'll probably never talk to again.

I mean, think about it this way, and if you go to public school, you know what I mean: after you graduate, how many people are you going to stay in contact with? If you're me, um...2. (and yes, I did just count; remember, I'm home schooled this year, I mayaswell have graduated). And then you realize, "I was never even friends with any of those people! I would smile at them, and I would say hi, but that was it. And now they just say irritating things on Facebook." So it's like....I'mma delete you. Sorry, yo.

I would never do that...*cough*

4. My mommy's allergic to kitties. I wish she wasn't...my friend's giving away kittens, and I want one soooo bad!! I would totally love him and cherish him, you know? But mom's allergic...=sad me.

5. First of all, in Rapunzel's words (imagine her expression here): "Don't freak out!!"

Okay. I've decided it (yes btwn #1 and #5, the decision has been made). I have failed.

I have failed the ABC challenge.

Go ahead. Be angry at me...But I just can't go on! I'm losing my appreciation for Disney, you guys!! Okay, not losing it, but it's died the slightest little bit.

Plus, I'm going to be unbelievably busy for this next week straight, and I don't even know when I'd find the time to do it :( It actually does take quite a little chunk of time to find all of the perfect pictures, and greatest quotes, ya know ;)

BUT I am going to do them once a week, or whenever I feel inspired.

My apologies guys; your blogger here is a failure.
