You Are My Sunshine

I woke up to a beautiful day today-in amazing Chicago Illinois! The sun shinning so brightly and lightly baking my skin-okay happy meter is ready to burst! I am originally from Southern California-so people automatically think I despise snow and all that comes with it being here in lovely Chicago! Actually not so! I am head over heels in love with the weather here! I don't know its just that Southern California does not do it for me! Too hot-crowded and not to mention all that toxic air you can not breath comfortably(at least for me!) I'm not hating just saying-and well I guess I am a little biased being in Chicago now. I have fallen in deep love with the weather here! Have you ever seen Twilight Zone? Well all those episodes where this ''far off'' amazing place that all these strange things happened in yeah I so found it.... Strange I never thought this place existed only there in the Twilight Zone- what an awesome feeling to finally be here ya know belong some where....The sunny days seem just a little sunnier, brighter, happier and well put a beautiful spring in my step! So today when I woke I had the beach on my mind! Can you tell? 




                                  Con Mucho Amor,

Okay.....

I believe in love. Great love- you know soul mate-''reach to the ends of the universe for you'' love. Yeah I know i'm a hopeless romantic-but ya know i'm actually really proud of it too! As deep as I get into love stories & all that stuff along the lines of L-O-V-E ''and they lived happily ever after'' DOES NOT do it for me! 

*yeah no thanks!*

My tear jerker and heart string puller is....

*Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind My Favorite Movie!*

Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you. 


Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me. 

Joel: Okay. 

Clementine: [pauses] Okay. 


''Okay'' hits my heart in all the right spots! So on the notion of being a hopeless romantic~ Spring is in full effect here in Chicago! How lovely it is to see a REAL spring for the first time in my life-im literally falling in love with the trees, flowers, all the new blooming going on and then there are all those damn birds and bees and their chirping at 3 am while happily making new off spring has me in a very happy mood. I can't say i'm ''de attached'' cause well my job & all I do have me very ''attached'' so I guess the proper word would be ''single''. I dont gripe about my 'single-dom' if I really wanted trust me i'd be quite coupled up with another being~but no alas i'm holding out for the real deal- you know ''the right one'' i'm just far too hopeful ironic for this hopeless romantic. So while I work my way out of my insane work load I present you with another one of my deep intense obessions. Vintage Valentines. Nothing says I love you & I mean it more than a little cartoon followed by a cute saying someone else CAME UP WITH. I love that. I love the little bright colorful drawings the little-ness(I think I just made up a new word!) of the size of the card along with the cute little words stratigetically placed in all the right places. I's dotted T's are crossed-I'm a happy camper! So for all you ''Okay'' love story ending lovers out there these are for you-from me with mucho mucho carino y amor!
