the horrific things people do to animals astounds me!
i think i’m about swear off all chocolate AFTER i demolish the bag of lindt candy (MY FAV) that the hubs bought me

one of my co-workers just asked if i wanted them to bring me some wine or beer from our company party that is happening at the moment

stand - donnie mcclurkin
i am far from religious but do consider myself quite spiritual
i remember the first time i heard this song, it was in 1996 while visiting a friend’s church
it broke me down to tears
..and i’m talking snotty, ugly crying
“What do you do when you’ve done all you can And it seems like it’s never enough And what do you say when your friends...

comforter - shai
most people find this hard to believe but my husband was actually my first love
i met him when i was 14 (and a half) years old and fell in love with him instantly

he had a mix tape he would play whenever i would visit…trying to be smooth *snickers*

sweet dreams - beyonce
i played the heck out of this album last summer
sweet dreams was my personal favorite

best friend - brandy
corny, i know
my sister and i loved this song and memorized the dance steps from the video
our plan was to perform our act at the family reunion
..but we never did

get ‘em high - kanye west
this beat is probably one of my favorite of all time!
it is also my all time favorite ‘ye song
i’ve seen it performed live twice…once by common and another by kweli
i quite often find myself bobbing my head while on the train
quietly beatboxing to myself
“I’m tryin to catch the beat, uh I’m tryin to catch the beat...

the nearness of you - norah jones
i LOVED-ED this entire album!
i fell in love with her bluesy voice the summer of 2002 and remember sitting on my patio sipping chilled white wine listening to the album on breezy, spring days…
barefoot and carefree…completely relaxed
“the nearness of you” was my favorite on the album, which i still play on my most stressful of days

“Remember all the moments for two, how we used to Oh yeah But the reality honestly…you where never good for me and I was never good for you.”
my last boyfriend was terrible,

Choroid Plexus Cysts
my baby has been diagnosed with bilateral Choroid Plexus Cysts, which affects 1 out of 100 births. I wonder if anyone has or knows anyone who has experienced this in the case of their unborn child?
Are you there GOD, it's me Kristin
lately i have been feeling pretty hopeless…
i strive to remain positive and not let my negativity affect others
but its much easier said than done..
a few weeks ago darien told me that i’ve changed and i smiled and laughed it off but felt even worst because that proved that my “happy front” was not exactly working
he (darien) asks me nearly daily what’s the matter...
skinny, pregnant girl
today, while at starbucks, the girl at the counter asked how far along i was, a FIRST during this pregnancy!
i think most people are afraid to say anything for fear that i am just a fatty and that i’d take offense :’/
anywho,
i asked her how did she know i was preggers and her response was, and i quote:
“because you are skinny everywhere besides your tummy”
i almost...
