Have you ever thought to yourself “I wonder what it looks like when Remy runs full force into my body?”

Probably not, but…the more you know.

And then I fell flat on my back. Seriously.

My new favorite necklace.

Going steady.

Forever21 $3.80. As in, less than four American dollars!

Today is out of control. Family drama is the WORST. 

Here is a piece of advice. If your dad dies, and you have siblings who care about things, and money…just jump off a cliff, or move to the island with me. 

I am having that overwhelming feeling again, where I want to pack up my  husband and my dog and move to a deserted island. 

There are ACTUALLY people out there that are trash talking Angelina Jolie’s op-ed piece in the New York Times. If you haven’t read it, here is what she wrote about her decision to have a double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer. 

I can’t stand these whiney children who basically think ‘waahhhhh if I can’t afford a $3,000 test, then you can never ever talk about how you could afford yours.’ It’s childish. 

At the VERY least, she has opened up a platform for women, and men to talk about this issue, and healthcare in general. That on it’s own is beneficial. 

Guess what? My mom had breast cancer. Nope, I can’t afford the test. BUT maaaybbbeee one day I will win the lotto, or Myles will become a pro-golfer, or here is a long shot….health care might get better in this country.

And if any of those things happen I just might remember what Angelina  had to say about her decision, and recovery. [Or maybe I will remember that nipple delay, and tube situation she talked about, and just be like TAKE ME AWAY. Who knows? But it will be my decision.]

And here is the part that I REALLY appreciated from her piece.

“They can see my small scars and that’s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

Every single woman who is dealing with any breast cancer/breast issue, hysterectomy, whatEVER can benefit from hearing the Tomb Raider sex bomb, say that just because she has scars on breast doesn’t make her any less of a woman. And that doesn’t cost anyone any money.

On a personal note: I had a breast lumpectomy at the age of 14. It was benign, thankfully. I have a scar on my breast. If my 14 year old self had read Angelina’s words, I can tell you that I would have shed fewer tears, and been more self confident .

In conclusion:

Bye Haters

First World Dog Problems 

This is so great! 

Remington? What the heck are you doing while I am at work? How did they get a photo of you, and how do they know about your sock love? (Just kidding, it can’t be him. We would NEVER buy him a $50 toy)

The truth is so incredibly powerful. And important.

I just got the numbers for our new auto/homeowners insurance with Myles added. Let’s just say that it went up. 

I am 25, and I have never had a ticket, or car accident. (KNOCK ON FREAKING WOOD)

Shouldn’t my insurance be like $12 a month?

But whatever, it’s my life.

I love my Kindle. Being able to read reviews, download a book, and read it in one sitting is amazing. Probably (I didn’t count) the last 25 books that I have read have been via an e-reader.

The last book that I finished was Jodi Picoult’s The Storyteller. It was a bit intense in subject matter, and left me feeling heavy. So my sister-in-law dropped off Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. (The perfect laugh out loud book to follow up a story about the Holocaust.) 

But you guys…it was a REAL, HARDCOVER book! 

And as I was reading it last night, I kept stopping and smelling the pages. I know, I have issues. But I love the smell of a book, and I nearly forgot how great it was. 

I felt like a 14 year old boy huffing a duster can, but hey we all have our vices, right?
