9 Year Old Taylor

I couldn't help but think that 9 year old Taylor would have been very sad with one of my Christmas requests this year. I asked for Claritin. Santa provided with a 6 month supply in my stocking. That stuff isn't cheap so it seemed like a solid request but 9 year old me would have been asking where the Barbie or American Girl doll was. Sorry to let you down 9 year old me. When you get old your requests aren't that fun anymore and more on the practical side. That and cedar fever is terrible this year!

Ugh

I had a whole other post to put up today but home girl teen mom got herself knocked up again. Geez. Kids these days.

67

That is the number of books I read last year. I was trying to get to 70 but holidays got in the way and I couldn't wrap up the books I had been working on.

One of my fave books I read

last year was The Summer Guest by Justin Cronin.

See Amazon for a detailed description.

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin was also a life changing book that I will most likely re-read this year. The LA Candy Series by Lauren Conrad was my guilty pleasure series. Not going to change your life or anything but will provide you with some solid light entertainment. I also really liked Is Everyone Hanging out Without Meand Bossypants, like the rest of the world.

I am taking recommendations for books to read in 2012, so comment away with them. Anyone know of a good book on Margaret Thatcher? I saw a preview for The Iron Lady movie about her and now want to learn more about her.

Happy New Year

Happy 2012 my readers. It was a pretty good 2011 and here's to hoping 2012 is even better. Resolutions coming up soon but until then I shall be lounging on the couch. So glad we get Monday off!

Hope your New Year's Eve was as good as this guy's

Me Party

Over Christmas in Houston I finally got to see my boyfriend Jason Segal in The Muppets. It as amazing. My personal favorite song was Me Party. The lyrics were hilarious. Please see below. To get the full experience go here and listen to the song!

I look around
And once again I'm on my own
My man ain't here
He's gone and done me wrong
No one's gonna stop this girl from having fun
I throw my hands up high and have a party for one

I'm having a Me Party
A party by myself
A Me Party
I don't need nobody else
I'm having a Me Party
I'm the first and last to show
There's no one at this party that I don't already know

I'm not gonna sit around
By myself and wait for you
Haven't you heard? One is the new two
I'm gonna make a scene
I'm gonna make a fuss
Tonight I'm gonna celebrate with just the one of us

I'm having a Me Party
I don't need no invitation
A Me Party
I just want the conversation
Me Party
I just need one, not two
You do the math, frog
It means I don't need you

I won't lie, there are times when I wish I was with you
There are days when all this girl can see is a world that's made for two
At times like this I feel all alone and like nobody cares
But I only have to call my name and darling I'll be there

I'm having a Me Party
Haven't I seen me here before?
A Me Party
I'm the last one on the dance floor
Me Party
A party just for moi
Me Party
It's a solo Mardi Gras
Having a Me Party
I'm such great company
A Me Party
I'll save the last dance for me

What happens at a Me Party
Stays at a Me Party

Happy Birthday to me!

My birthday is on Saturday which makes me wonder who wants to get these amazing slippers for me? Size 9. Please and thank you. They are on sale so how can you tell me no!

Pioneer Woman Does it Again

I think I have mentioned before how I love The Pioneer Woman. I keep entering contests on her blog and keep hoping to wine. It hasn't happened yet but one day it will. Today she opened my eyes in a whole new way that made not being a contest winner okay. Y'all, she had a picture of a monkey riding a dog. Whiplash is his name and he is pretty much awesome. Thank you pioneer woman for brightening my gloomy dark and rainy day. Not complaining because we need the rain!
