This blog is for all of you, who are like me and hate the snow!! I say let's boycott Winter! Let's break out our shorts, tanks, and flip flops. We will wear our sunglasses inside with our heads up high!! Come on NE Ohioans let ban together and show mother nature who's boss!
I am hanging out with some friends this weekend and I am going to wear my cutest pair of jeans, sandals and the cutest sleeveless shirt. Why you may ask? Because I want to look hot even if its not. I will take my coat off in the car and make a mad dash to the door, and risk braking an ankle. Trust me it's all worth it in the end.
So as I am sitting here with an electric heater by my snow soaked feet, thinking "why on earth am I here?" I will stare at my glass with California, sand and awesome seashells found on the beach, and pretend I am there.

I wish I was there
It is 2:25am, and I am not tired so I thought I would write some thoughts down. I have been thinking about my trip to California a lot lately (because I miss it so much) so I thought I would share a story with you all (the 1 person who reads this).
One of my favorite things we did in California was going to the beach. In fact, that was the first thing we did. I love the beach but I haven't been there in a really long time, and had wanted to go for quite some time. Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway was an amazing experience. On one side of you there were beautiful mountains with gigantic homes, and on the other side was the marvelous beach.
We pulled over to the side of the road, got out and started to walk on the beach. It just took my breath away. I hate to say it but I was so happy at that moment I almost cried....I finally made it to the beach. As we were walking down the beach I noticed all sorts of seashells, it was awesome! The last time I was at the beach we couldn't find any seashells, but now I had both hands full. Sadly I had to leave some behind, but I made sure to bring a few home. In fact, on our last day there we went back to the beach and I stole some sand so I would always have a piece of California with me.
Another part of the beach I loved was the Santa Monica Pier. When I was a child and we would go to Virginia Beach or was it Martel Beach, I can't remember but I was always afraid to walk on the pier, but I wasn't afraid of this one. Maybe it's because it's bigger or maybe because I am older, but regardless I loved it. We got to the pier as the sun came down and it was just an amazing sight. Standing there staring out into the ocean watching the sun go down as though it was going into the ocean, it just took my breath away. For that 15, 20 minutes we were out there life was at piece. All the stress from home went away, it was just me and the ocean. So anytime I feel stressed or just feel like getting away I whip out my pictures of the ocean and it takes me right to that place and time were life stood still, and the only thing that existed in this great big world was me and the ocean.

What The New Year Will Bring...
Well I haven't posted anything in almost a month, so I figured I should write something. It's not because I don't want to blog, but because nothing to exciting has happened in a while. I mean, I could talk about how awesome it was to beat Tom and Slash in Guitar Hero, but that's not too exciting. So here's what I got: I decided to let the 1 of you who actually reads this my thoughts for the New Year.
Well last year was fairly good, there were some set backs but all in all 2008 was a pretty good year. I gained a new nephew (who is the coolest little guy ever!), and tons of friends. So what could make 2009 even better?
1st Goal: To attend Club E at least once a month (were I am destined to meet the man of my dreams).
2nd Goal: Not to be so shy (although I have gotten a lot better). I have learned that being shy gets you nowhere in life.
3rd Goal: Learn to make a killer smoothie on my magic bullet...it's not as easy as you would think.
4th Goal: To reach Medium level on Guitar Her0, and it WILL be done!
5th Goal: And last but not least... do things I have never done before, or even thought of doing. Now that could be fun!
I know I am setting some real high goals for myself, but I know if I am determined, and work hard enough I can accomplish anything (at least that what my mom tells me).
