Dirty Thirty

So even though I wasn't really in the mood, Monday, June 4th
I went ahead and turned thirty.

Yikes! I had a nice day getting pedicures and having lunch with Mayra. At night an awesome group of friends met up and we had a lovely dinner at PF Changs, then gelatto around the corner.
It made me feel so loved to have everyone show up. 

Thanks to all who came.

 I love all your beautiful amazing faces! xoxo

Cough Syrup

"Cough Syrup"
by Young The Giant

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
Oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Uhh ch ch ch ch

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

So I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now

30 in 30

In just 30 short days I will officially kiss my 20's goodbye and move into my 30's
I'm thankful for my 20's. But I am sad to see them go. They were beautiful, heartbreaking, sexy,funny, and sometimes tough but mostly amazing.

30 things I learned in my 20's

1-The boy you think you will die without that left, I promise you will feel that way about another one in 6-12 months
2-Sometimes people will do really bad things and try to blame it on you. It is not your fault.
3-Its okay to be totally in love with someone and have them not love you back. Just don't keep waiting on them to change their mind.
4-you don't need to buy stuff to be happy. You don't need 100 nail polishes, 75 eye shadows, 85 sweaters or 200 pairs of shoes. You just don't. -You are not a Kardashian. (They don't need all that stuff either btw....)
5- Its okay to be single. Respect yourself enough not to settle.
6-Just because you a related to someone doesn't mean you have to love them
7-Its okay to love the wrong person, but then realize an move on.
8-Its always better to pay a professional to wax your eyebrows, highlight your hair and paint your nails.
9-Take pics. Take a lot a pics. You never know when you could lose someone forever, and when they are gone you will wish you took more pics.
10-If you hate your job. QUIT. Life is to short to be miserable.
11- Sometimes you have sex with the wrong person. Sometimes you have sex with the right person. Sometimes its a drunken train wreck, sometimes it amazing. But as long as you wanted to have it at the time, and you were safe about it then its fine.
12-Spending time with the people you care about, doing what you love, is the most important thing.  If you found out you were going to die in two weeks would you work 24/7? Money would be worthless. While money is great, time is worth way more then money.
13-If you care about someone tell them. Tell them now. NOW.
14-Don't be jealous of other people. Its stupid and it gets you no where.  If someone has something you want, try and let them inspire you to do better, don't hate them for having something you want.
15-You don't need to wear ridiculously high heels to be  fashionable or sexy. Some of the most fashionable people I know hardly ever wear heels. And I've been hit on by some of the cutest boys, when wearing flats.
16-Not all sports are bad. Soccer & Speed skating are in fact awesome. (Don't worry I still hate The Jazz and football.)
17-Jason Mraz is one of the most talented singer songwriters ever. Thanks Brian for forcing me to listen to him...
18-Everyone at some point in their life she kiss a boy from England.
19-You are never to old to make ridiculous music videos with your friends.
20-You need to get a degree. In something. Anything . But just do it. The sooner the better.
21-Not all kids are horrible. Yes some are monsters. But some will adore you. And to be adored feels wonderful. (No, I still don't want kids.)
22- You will have amazing friends that are you're everything. Sometimes, something will happen and they will become almost nothing. It's okay  accept and cherish what you had.
23-Sometimes you need to call in sick, stay in Pjs all day cuddle with kittys, drink tea, and watch James Franco movies or The Hills or Friends all day. This remedy really can make things all better.
24-Everyone should have a NYE kiss with someone they adore.
25-People that don't like animals have issues and can't be trusted.
26-Your clothes should fit. FIT. Not to small not to big. Just fit.
27-When people move, is when you find out who your real friends are.
28-Get Triple A. Its saved me more than once. Worth every penny.
29-Sometimes an animal can save you life.
30-Always, always, always, stand up for what you believe in. ALWAYS. The few times I haven't I always regret it more then the times I did. Even if it makes a situation uncountable, always be true to you.

Dinners at Dodo & shopping with this fabulous girl.
The love I felt at mt birthday lunch.
Every class/moment spent with this amazing teacher. I owe her more then she will ever know.

Ringing in the New Year with these two friends. Allison was so amazing this year. She stuck by me in a really awful situation and showed me what true, loyalty in friendship means
You didn't think I'd forget these did you? What would 2011 be without James Franco?

Unbearable. It would of been unbearable.

Wrap It Up (Part One)

What a year 2011 has been. Its honestly been one of the hardest years of my entire life. Between losing Phebee in April, working at a job that made me miserable for 6 months, car problems, a job I really liked working at closing, an ER visit and realizing you thought someone who was a good friend was really a horrible person, some days it all seemed like to much to handle. But somehow I made it and now I am welcoming 2012 with open arms. That's not to say 2011 didn't have its good moments. So I wanted to share some. Here they are! In no logical order whatsoever.

The addition of Max. My furry, cuddly, totally lovey bug.

The only good thing I got out of Nordstrom: Two amazing friendships with Kate (in the lavender) and Jen (in the stripes)

This little teeny tiny entering my life thanks to Jenny. What a love my Mrazzy is.

I had a hummingbird I saved sitting on my finger. This still amazes me to this day.

Days at the spa spent with these two crazy kids. Kate & Will. (Yep those are their names) Also known as Princess & Monkey.

Watching this BEAUTIFUL girl who I've known since she was a mini graduate high school. Here she is with her "moms" so proud.

Being a bridesmaid in Jessica's wedding.

Fraggle turning one!

Heaven Sent A Hurricane

Hey Kid. Happy 29th Birthday. I miss you every single day. Hope you are finally happy wherever you are.


The Light

In the morning it comes
Heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun
But I don't even run from rain

Beating out of my chest
Heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You were the air in my breath
Filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess
Intertwined and overrun

Nothing better than this
Ooh, and then the storm can come
You feels just like the sun
Just like the sun

And if you say, "Be alright"
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say, "Be alright"
I'll follow you into the light
- Sara Bareilles,

Birthday Wishes

Well kids, today is the day my lovely husband James Franco turned 33! And while I should be writing my final paper for my customer service class, I have chosen instead to write a Happy Birthday post to my husband. Its all about where your priorities lie... So please enjoy the following James Franco photo bonanza.

Ahem,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!

Ahhhh, James. What fond memories we have together. From our first meeting on the streets in snowy Park City

To our second meeting just up the street from our first meeting in snowy Park City.
To our third meeting in windy Santa Monica.
What times we've had. What times. From that time you jumped into the ocean fully clothed,
to that time you sat staring contemplatively of a deck.


Or that time you filmed one of my favorite movies ever like 10 mins from my house, and I didn't seek you out at all? (FAIL)
There was that one time after you won your Indie Spirit Award that out of a crowd of people you walked straight over to me first because we are so in love.
Or that time you studied for one of you seven master/phd degrees.
Or that time I cam home to find you about to kiss your own reflection?
Or that time you were mobbed by fans who somehow get there pic on a random website with you, even though I've met you three times and never got my pic on a random website.
Or that time I came home to find you swimming in your clothes. (You seem to do that a lot...)
And there was that time you took a nap with cats. (Look at this pic. It screams the fact we are soul mates)
I love you are waiting on the stairs for me to get home. You are so sweet.
Awe, you think I'm funny. Ditto James.
And thanks again for tweeting this, possibly the best photo ever.
Yours always,
Heidi
XOXO
