It has been settled! We chill on my birthday and leave the day after, early. After talking about it, leaving on the 9th seemed like a pretty cool idea, however I would have to sleep for most of my birthday! So I figured we can sleep and be well rested for the next day and leave bright and earlier. I think before the sun comes up. Leave west for Texas. Sadly we have to go threw Arkansas. I wonder if I-30 going into Little Rock is still under construction? Hmm.
I counted the change jar and we have saved $33.57! I know there is more change around here and of course there is like 3.97 in pennies. I always need like a few more it seems to round it out. I found a $.2.00 Wal-Mart gift card under the bed, so maybe they could contribute. I'm just so excited!
I'm so excited to be taking a road trip again with my better half and enjoying a nice weekend and part of a week with him. Tis going to be fun, fun, fun!

Marilyn Monroe
O, Time
Be Kind
Help this weary being
To forget what is sad to remember
Loose my loneliness,
Ease my mind,
While you eat my flesh.
-Marilyn Monroe
June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962
I collected these pictures over a period of time and have forgotten the links. I did however Googled Norma Jean Marilyn Monroe together and came up with these images. The ones with her reading I typed in Marilyn Monroe reading.
She was an amazing woman with a kind gentle spirit. May she rest in peace.
I told Nathan on the way to Red Box that all that food I ate must be Elvis: The Later Years special. Chuy's has a Memorial Plate named after him and a side dish with a soft taco and to taco chips named Priscella. We waited for his aunt and little Ian to get there so we could order with her. I was so hungry and ate so many chip basket's with this amazing chip dip with jalapeños. ¡oh, era tan bueno! By the time I placed my order and the manly man in a pink shirt brought me my BIG plate of food I could hardly eat. So there, Elvis sits, in my cold fridge waiting to be eaten by moi. I think I'll ask Sabrina if she wants to come over and...eat the rest of Elvis with me.
¡aclamaciones!

cómo mi cabeza hace girar con estos pensamientos. pare por favor.
Birthday dinner with Nathan's familia and I can coma comen comen porque tengo tan hambre. :)
I feel like writing a little bit more but I'm just too hungry to make any sorts to my thoughts. I'll add those thoughts with pictures later.
top: layne bryant jeans: lee shoes: target necklace: giftmy mother took me shopping for my birthday a few days ago( not till june 9th). so i guess i better take pictures of me in them before i leave for my trip or maybe, i'll wait& take pictures of where i've been. that will be awesome.
Nathan's parents went to this really cool place called
Scarlett Begonia in Franklin. i believe there is one in Nashville as well. they gave me a gift in a brown box with a red ribbon& in side was this amazing
chale shawl and a big blue woven bag with a wide strap. i love them so so so much, both gift& Nathan's parents. :) the shawl reminds me of a sun set. i already of my purse contents in the bag. the bag is lined with orange& has a zipper at the opening.
i've been thinking on what book to take with me on the trips, i want to finish my literature and society book on poetry, drama& novels but then again i might read The Bell Jar again or see if Sabrina has any interesting books. i was i purchased Love, Janis by Laura Joplin or Henry Miller's Sexus. oh well, too late now.
i came real close to buying bleach at work today. very very close. but i put it back because i have no idea how i want to color my hair. i know i want sections done but i don't know how. do i want my bangs colored or do i want my front section of my long hair done. i made up my mind that it's either color my hair or cut it. the last time i did a dramatic hair cut on my hair was june or july of 06. it was short& felt amazing but i feel like i can't pull of short hair any more due to the fact my face is fuller. anyway. i know i need something done so i want pull out my styling scissors.
