Short. Sweet. And to the Point.

This last Sunday I watched a movie with my girl friends. We usually have Disney movie night every Sunday night, but this week, for who knows what reason, we decided to watch the LDS movie, "Charly". I swear every time I watch that movie I learn something new from it and I see it in the new perspective. This time I saw Sam's side and how much he LOVED Charly. There was one quote from the movie that I absolutely fell in love with and I SWORE was just magically put into the movie recently because I've never heard it before. It's in the scene where Sam first takes Charly fishing and she throws water on him in attempt to have a water fight. Charly tells him that he needs to learn to laugh, and not live by his palm pilot, and that life is about having fun! Then Sam says, "I laugh! When the work is done, if there is time after, I laugh." Then Charly says, "The work is never done Sam. That's why you have to laugh WHILE doing the work." Has anyone else heard this line before?? I LOVE IT! So if your stressed, or you feel like you've got too much on your plate, take a step back and laugh and just look at all the happiness that surrounds you. Life is to be enjoyed! Laugh a little, and have fun! :)..... and THAT'S a sip of Livi's lemonade! :)

The Million Dollar Question?

Right now it is 10:57 on a Wednesday night. I'm laying in my bed and i get this sudden urge to BLOG! Of all things... blog. I lay there for a minute, trying to see if the feeling passes and/or if I can convince myself that I will just blog tomorrow and next thing I know I'm up and on my laptop! I don't particularly know what to blog about. But nonetheless, hopefully by the time I am done typing, this urge to blog will be gone and I can sleep in peace!


I think I'm going to look up one of those surveys online and fill it out so that you can all know a little more about me... :) What kind of survey you ask? Who knows! Probably the first one I find on google that looks good.


I'll be back momentarily....


(Pretend the screen just went rainbow like it does on the television for warnings. Only put elevator music in the back of your head along with that picture. Or if you prefer the jeopardy theme... that works too)

AAaaaaannndddd we're back! Okay I found one that includes me posting pictures! WAHOO!!! So here we go, I hope I don't thoroughly bore you...
