After all night and all morning finishing the last of the Tiny Hill wall decor I’m making for my boyfriend, I finally finished it! It’s about time too, all this being crafty stuff is making me feel like a young Martha Stewart.
I know the hills aren’t in a wavy shape, but I said screw it on making it perfect! All the stripes are made out of duct tape. I guess it’s true with what they say, duct tape can fix/make anything.
There is no sadder way to wake up than to find your best friend..your confidant ripped up into shreds laying on your bedroom floor. This is how I woke up this morning, and I’ll be honest. I’m completely and utterly devastated.
Lolita was a good book who’s life ended way too soon. She was a book that I had hoped to have forever. Lolita was one of those rare treasures you only find once every blue moon. I loved her from start to finish. I was captured by her from the very first sentence that graced not only my eyes, but my mind. She was a heart wrenching story, one that made me feel disbelief every time I read it. There was such a great amount of passion in that book, a passion that not many books have anymore.
Lolita was one of those books that I’ve only dreamed to have in the big, fancy, personal library that would be in my future Victorian mansion. It was the book I would read by a cozy fire on a cold winter’s night, or read in a canoe on a sparkling lake under an umbrella on a summer afternoon. Lolita was one of those great books that would share space with only the greatest books ever written.
I know many might think I would be sparing a lot of my heartache if I just replaced my now broken book with one that is brand new. But you see…it’s not the same. So many moments I shared with my book, and so many memories. The tears I shed on that book, the mutual understanding of emotions that seemed to connect my heart with this inanimate object…it’s simply irreplaceable.
I bid you adieu Lolita. May your many memories with me be cherished forever.
Catherine Kieu Becker looks like your average woman. Sadly, this is not the case.
July 12, 2011 Catherine Becker was arrested for being accused of drugging her husband, chopping off his penis, (and when you thought it couldn’t get any worse) putting it in a garbage disposal and grinding it up. During that evening, police found her husband tied to a bed bleeding from where his penis should have been. Apparently, Becker felt no guilt and told police he had deserved what she did to him.
Her husband (who remains anonymous), told detectives that after he ate his dinner he laid down in bed. This being because he felt like “something was wrong with his food”. After waking up from the drugs placed in his food, he found himself tied to the bed with his penis being tugged at by his wife. Soon after, she chopped it off.
Apparently, they’re going through a divorce..I wonder why *cough*…

I was on the website stumbleupon.com when it took me to this unique “test”. In this test, it basically told you a story, giving you options to pick. The results of your test determine the options you took, and strangely for the most part the results of my love test were quite similar to myself.
There is the link to the test. Take it, and let me know if your results were close to correct.
40 feet under the sea surrounded by nothing but fish and ocean lies The Poseidon Undersea Resort. Not your typical hotel setting right?
To get to the lost city of Atlantis-esque hotel, you will be taken under the ocean by an elevator. The rooms are encased in four thick inch crystal clear glass, but not to worry. If you want privacy, the rooms are covered in a type of film that makes it almost impossible to peek through in the night or day.
What’s great about these hotels is the ease they make with interacting with the marine life. With one push of a button on a control, you can feed the fish that swim by your room. Not only that but during the night there are lights you can turn on to attract the fish near the coral reefs below.
If you’re looking for adventure or romance The Poseidon offers a lot of fun for you and your special someone. For the romance, not only do they have underwater rooms and apartments, but available is also an underwater Chapel. How many people can say they got married under the ocean..other than the little mermaid?
Being on a “mystery island” there are many things you can do for adventure. This resort offers submarine piloting, deep sea reef excursions, scuba diving, sea treking, para sailing, ultralight flights, cave explorations, water sports, watching stars in an observatory, diving/walking tours above and below land, and many varieties of workshops. Not too shabby right?
Think that’s all? Not even close! This resort offers many amenities as well. If you’re bored with being underwater, you can have a choice of exploring the spa, checking out some dive shops, eating some fine dining, catching a movie at the theater, reading at their library, working out at a fitness center, and shopping at a great boutique. Pretty nice right?
The downer is of course the price. To experience all of this, you have to cough up $15,000 USD per person. That’s for 7 days and 6 nights (with the ability to enjoy their island villas in case you get tired of being under water)

Feeling adventurous but don’t know where to go? Try taking a gander at Sweden’s Treehotel.
Miles from the city surrounded by nothing but beautiful scenery, there are mini hotel rooms up in the trees of Sweden. Each room has its own unique look, not to mention the outside of the rooms themselves are completely different from one another. With only a handful of these rooms available (with more to come in the future), these hotels are quite pricey. Around $750 USD per night. At least with these prices they serve you breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Either way, these rooms are magnificent and I wouldn’t mind staying in one of these bad boys myself (of course around my years of retirement)

Majority of people (like myself) tend to focus on minor problems that happen in our lives, focusing our thoughts on materialistic things. I know being a young adult, one of my “problems” in life is not having enough money or not having enough quality time with my boyfriend. With most of our lives being comfortable, we tend to forget to appreciate the small things and forget other people’s sufferings all over the world.
Currently in Somalia they are facing one of the worst droughts ever, in fact the U.N. calls their unfortunate event “the worst humanitarian disaster”. A camp in Kenya (Dadaab) has over ten thousand people flooding the camps, more arriving with each day. These people are forced into these camps because of their dying dried up lands.
It’s not just the dried out lands that are in danger, but the lives of millions of people. There has been an estimated two million children (if not more) who are in dire need of attention. These children are not only facing the grueling drought, but are also very malnourished and in need of nutrition and medical attention to stay alive.
So before you question the quality of your life, think about the people of Somalia. Next time you complain about not having the greatest life ever just remember you have delicious food to eat, air conditioning, water, electricity, and shelter.
