The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This week has had its ups and downs. I've been working a ton without much down time. Many of my days consisted of running around donig errands while trying to sleep- but then having to fill in a shift or two at work- then attend this meeting- oh and don't forget your overnight! Blahhhh the only down time I really got was at my sister becky's "Wine and Cheese night". Minus the wine- and for me not much cheese cuz i'm lactose inoterlant-although I did sneak a few becasue cheese is so scrumptious. I was really excited to see my friend Mat that night. I met Mat a few weeks after the "big breakup" years ago and he has become one of my most trusted friends. Possibly one of the kindest, honest, fun men I know. Shout out to Becky and Delaine for a) making me go out that night and b) telling him I was newly single! We all remenised about that day and it was a laugh and a half I tell ya.
Saturday consisted of sleeping in as late as I could- a little jam session on the guitar (I am determined to learn how to read tabs this year-anyone know how and wanna teach me let me know!) I then ended up back at Beckys where Mary-Clare joined us too. We danced and ate ice lollies while just laughing. I love that my two sisters live so close and that we can all hang out. It's nice. Just wish my Sally and Susanna were here too. :(

Now everyone. Later saturday evening I went to see "The Perks fo Being a Wallflower" wtih some of my closest friends .WOW! Words can't even describe how amazing this movie is. Just please go watch it. What a great film to watch Emma Watson in- bit of a crappy american accent but really, that doesn't matter too much. I laughed, cried, gasped, grab peoples arms in anticipation, was angry, happy....and like most of my relationships-over too soon haha! Here are just some quotes from the movie so SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen it yet.

Charlie: I really wanna be a writer but I don't know what I'd write about.
Sam: You can write about us.
Patrick: Call it 'The slut and the falcon' make us solve crimes

Charlie: I don't know if I will have the time to write anymore letters because I might be too busy trying to participate. So if this does end up being the last letter I just want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who has gone through it, you made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen. And there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17. I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening, I am here and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite

Here is possibly my favourite

Charlie: Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date?
Bill: Are we talking about anyone specific?
[Charlie nods]
Bill: We accept the love we think we deserve.
Charlie: Can we make them know they deserve more?
Bill: We can try.
WOW- when that was said, possibly one of the most eye opening quotes I've heard in a long time. How many times do I sit and sulk about the single life- I think most of the people in YSA do it. Then I think about it. Was I ever truly happy? Maybe for a fraction of the time, but really it's because the love was what I thought I deserved. Really it wasn't-hence why it wasn't right. When I am fully ready for that love I know I derserve-it'll come. (and that goes for all of us)

Haha there is my deep thought for the day- here are some photos of my week!

-Stay Beautiful xoxo

Really started loving theraputic oils. Helping me survive right now. Plus they smell great :)

me and eva! look at that red hair!!

two of my best girls!

Great ready for a display of hot pics of me and MC on friday night-too much fun I think.

yup- we look nothing alike.

We found the British good isle at Wal-Mart- hello heaven :)

Ok. So Becky showed me this picture she took. This is Lily. Becky was driving the school bus and turned a corner- Lily's seat came unstrapped and would have falled all the way into the isle-excpet the other row of seats instead trapped her in the position. All becky said she could hear was whispers of "mummy...help". I can't help but crack up laughing when I see this!

Just trying to stay positive working an overnight- blah...
