Britney has officially ruined my name

It's in the news evertwhere. "Britney Spears officially gone crazy, shaves her head."

Ok, so you may all say she's completely gone nutso and is not fit to be a mother of two. But I can't help but think... this poor girl! Try imagining what she's going through. She falls madly in love with Kevin Federline, they marry and she hopes to start a family. Every felt that before? Love's a pretty powerful thing! She quickly turned from Pop princess to white trash queen, thanks to her new money mooching, non talent husband. But point being- She loves him, and when you love someone you are willing to change things about yourself to make that person happy. They have their first baby, she decides to be an idiot and drive with her newborn in her lap. Ok, I'm not a mother yet, but really? Pretty sure that's called commen sense. So maybe it wasn't her time to have kids, but can you not agree that most likely her time clock went off and she just wanted to start a family and feel companionship?

So things didn't work out with the love of her life, and here she is raising 2 kids that most likely resemble her ex husbands ghetto fabulous looks. She's completely heartbroken, while still being in the press. WOW, ok if this were me, i'd check my own damn self into the nearest Psychiatric hospital.

I've never been a huge fan of hers, especially since my name has gone from teenie bopper status to a white trash head shaving joke. (I received a call yesterday from one of our sales guys saying "you didn't shave your head did you? Hope you're not following her lead!")

But I stand by my opinion when I say that she's just gone through too damn much and needs family time again, as well as much needed hours of therapy to let everything out.

I honestly hope she comes out of this being a much better person and a strong mother. We should all just leave her alone already.

Ahh, the dreaded first love..

Do you remember your first love? The good memory's and possibly the bad?

Memories of my first love came rushing back to me this last week when I received a call from an old friend of mine, who was just dumped by her first.

Everything she said she was going through, sounded all too familiar. (Made me realize how glad I am that it's not me in that position!!)
I have to believe that everyone's first loves help "create" who they become in life. Makes them realize not only what they want in a possible marriage or next relationship, but also what they refuse to go through again. Good things to learn for forming a stable and caring relationship, dontcha think?

You see it in movies all the time, boy meets girl, they fall hopelessly in love, are inseperable for years, and then, for one reason or another, they stop talking. (Sometimes they do end up back together, but let's face it, this is Hollywood we're talking about here.)

I'm fascinated with stories about people falling in love, how they met, who courted who, and how it finally ended up. My favorite is hearing these stories from seniors who have been married for 40+ years. It's so romantic to hear how different things were in the 30's and 40's, in regards to courtship. Quite different from how it is today.

I think once you get past the heartache of it all, it's kinda fun to look back at your first love with fond memories. (Now, running into that person somewhere unexpectadly, that's a whole different story!)

My goal with my friend, is to take her out to new places and have her meet new people and do new things. These things, in my opinion, are the best medicine for any heartache.

A beautiful day in Seattle!!

I find myself being so cheerful and carefree today. It's absolutly gorgeous here! On my way to work this morning, coming over the 520 bridge I had one of the most gorgeous views of what looked like a harvest moon, surrounded by a pink and purple sky.

What a perfect way to start my day! Then I get to work and I look out on the water, from my desk and see all these sailboats going by. You don't see a day like this in Seattle very often, i'm going to make the most out of it.

Yup, there is definitly a good feeling in the air today, and I have to say I feel like a little kid!
