You are my holiday
You are right in the middle of me
You are my hideaway
You are home
I’m calling out your name
Oh my holiday
You make my heart new
And I love you!
What it is I’m trying to say
Is you are my favorite part of me

update
Hello Lovers,
Sorry. I haven't felt much like blogging lately. Not that i don't have things or events to blog about, but I haven't been feeling all that hot and just didn't feel like it.
As it turns out, there's an actual, legitimate reason that I have been sick for so long- I have mono.
Actually, it's an Epstein Barr Virus Infection. It's the virus that causes mono, and less than 10% of people with EBV have ANY symptoms at all- it usually lies dormant. (Did you know you can be a carrier of mono and not have it? That's what EBV is- most adults have been infected at some point in their lives, which is why it's uncommon for older adults to have mono- they've already been exposed to the virus)
But in my lucky case, I have all the wonderful symptoms of mono- persistent sore throat, fever (first time I've ever had a fever over 99.... not fun), body aches, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, nausea, and exhaustion (It's nice to know that there's actually something going on in my body rather than feeling like a weakling for being totally and completely exhausted from walking across the mall)...
But it's just easier to call it mono than to say "I have what causes mono, and I have all the symptoms of mono, but it's not actually mono... "
So that's the latest and greatest.
Love you all,
Amber

what I've learned (or re-learned) in the last week..
if you leave the unenclosed room and people can still smell you... you're wearing too much perfume.
what may be "not that big of a deal" to you can mean the world to someone else...
every day is a gift, nothing is promised, every breath is a gift from God.
I am in control of nothing. Except my attitude.
I must strive to put flesh and blood on the Reconciliation of all things...
Laughing makes it better, no matter how much it hurts

TEMPTATION!!
This weekend I went to Bath and Body Works and bought something I wouldn't normally buy- food flavored lip gloss.
I generally don't enjoy scents and smells that smell like food- I strongly dislike vanilla flavored anything. I know a lot of people love this flavor- I just don't.
So I'm at Bath and Body Works, smelling my way around the store and I get to the "Temptations" table- where they have flavors like Cinnamon Roll, Gingerbread and Cherry Pie. I guess you could say I'm kind of a glutton for punishment- for some reason whenever I see these flavors, I can't help but smell them. I usually end up with my face wrinkled up saying "oh gross" "that's foul" "smell this, it smells like feet" and other very classy remarks laced with expletives so loudly that it makes Brent blush...
So I got to the Pecan Passion flavor and I had no words.
I loved it.
I wanted to drink it.
No really- I was seriously tempted to drink a 3-in-1 body wash/shampoo/bubble bath... like a 3-year-old.
So, I bought the lip gloss.
It doesn't really taste like it smells... it has more of a lipstick-y taste to it than the glorious Pecan Passion aroma it possesses... but it's still amazing.
