[this cookie....]

is super grateful for:

**an imperfect family & [EXTENDED fam] that loves me perfectly**



**having the best job (most days) and the best co workers**

that are always ready to take a pic regardless of how hash they look lol



i really love these ladies so much



**Pioneer day, and the Pioneers that made a difference for us**

We are who we are, because they were who they were =)

(nan at Liberty Park, celebrating Pioneer day)

** a sweet guy that's always willing to help me out**

especially in the kitchen while i sit and watch TV haha

**and he knows exactly what I love**

{just some FYI, I'm not a big 'flower' fan, i'd much rather receive clothes, shoes, or diamonds....whatever lol}

**Random things in Hollywood**

that make me smile.

Thanks to my awesome crew, I taste life in a whole different way.....and I love it.

It's definitely WHAT IT DO ;)

taken at Palms Thai Restaurant in Hollywood. Best curry ever...

and lastly

**Fruits, Vegetables, and Water**

now that i'm on the Weight Watchers program I really have to watch what I eat. And so far i'm doing good. I've lost 5 lbs already and i'm sooooo ready to lose more. haha I don't know why i haven't been doing WW, but I really like it. I can eat whatever I want as long as it's within my allotment for the day. The best thing aobut it is that fruits and veggies are free points, and i can snack on em aaallll day.

Like usual, life is still crazy busy. I have issues....I won't deny that lol...but with all the issues, drama, and frustration life brings I always find myself very very.....veeerrry blessed. Through all my own trials I try not to question WHY AM I going through this.....instead I always find myself, after it all passes asking the Lord HOW did I deserve to be blessed after being such a punk? haha It's crazy. But I am indeed grateful.

This summer has been a very eventful summer [hence my last post....well the one prior to that haha]. A lot has been going on both big and small......both good and bad. And through it all, I've learned [and am constantly reminded] of how awesome my family is. =) with all the bickering that goes on between my family {and even extended family} and i about MY own problems, they remain by my side and love me unconditionally. I honestly don't know what I've done to deserve such great people in my life.

Right now, life is great. I know, it could be better but I'm all about living in the moment and embracing whatever I'm going through, learning how to love it, learning from it, and moving on. I did an interview with an artist (not to mention, a veeerrry good looking one too lol) a few weeks ago and he said that the reason he's 'not taken' is because he has so much going on right now. So many opportunities are in his way and if he doesn't take advantage of them, he may just end up regretting things. I don't want to be like that. I totally agree with him...i mean i love having a bf, but I'm not gonna let anything stand in the way of doing what I love and opportunities in my way. I love life right now and everyone in it.......

I know everyone's probably sick and tired of these kind of posts, but..... i really am grateful. =)
