today i have chosen brittany murphy. to me she was one of the most vivacious, talented, and humbled actress. i cannot recall ever seeing her in anything other than a good mood. she had so much talent to share and with that came gratitude. brittany was taken to soon and will never be forgotten. here is a random collage of some of her best dressed moments.

i still can't believe the weekend is already over. it came & went very quickly. i can proudly say that since friday we (texas) has experienced wonderful thunderstorms and showers. the ducks in the nearby creek are so happy. again they can play in the water; last week they were only able to stand with their webbed feet in the water, no chance of dunking their pretty heads. it's also finally boot wearing weather! today i have on my favorite pair of steve madden zip up boots! next friday is the official day of fall and i can hardly believe that it feels that way, too. :) enjoy your monday!

don't act your age, act your shoe size

sometimes i have often compared myself to the character molly gunn from the movie uptown girls. i remember when this movie came out. i was actually a nanny myself and the youngest girl of the children i cared for watched the movie with me. her name is lauren. lauren was ray and i was molly. looking back now it's funny to think that a child taught me how to act my age and i helped teach her that it's ok to let loose and be free. lauren is now 15 and i am 27, i have been watching her since she was four. i still act like a child with her and have a blast being around her.

Ray: I'm not going anywhere, especially with you.
Molly Gunn: Oh, yes you are. We are going to sit in giant teacups and spin round and round in circles until we puke.
Ray: Are you on crack?
Molly Gunn: We're gonna have fun.

what's the point in being so serious? be silly, have fun, live without regrets. love the you that you are. embrace and love yourself, you're all you've got.
