It was cold today and it's getting even colder!

School was fun, but I'm really tired. I'm not even sure how or why I'm awake now!

One of my students made an amazing discovering about me today and announced it to the class -

"Hey, I just realized that everyone in here has black hair except for you. Your hair is kind of yellow."

That was when I reminded him about the book I had read earlier in the school year...the book that was about me when I was a little girl...and they used to call me.....Goldilocks. lol!

Oh yeah, I went there!

The January challenges are up at Stuff to Scrap and I completed my layout for the song lyric challenge. This month you have to use lyrics from the Selena Gomez song "Love You Like A Love Song". You know that stupid song that you don't really like, but can't help singing every time you hear it?

Well, I decided to embrace the song and my newly outed Russell Brand crush. Yeah, I went there...

I showed my layout to OCG and he was speechless! That's right...it's so awesome that he was speechless....and then he wasn't....

OCG: That's what you did today?

Me: Yep, don't you like it?

OCG: Your last day of vacation and you did that?

Me: I watched some TV too.

He was back to speechless after that!

Yep, it was a good day!

Now, tomorrow...

You can laugh, everyone else has...

I opened up to OCG today about a secret celebrity crush I have and you probably heard him laughing at me from wherever you are. His first comment was, "How much did you drink last night?" and the comment he ended the conversation with was, "You need help."

I admitted to not always being attracted to this person. As a matter of fact, I always thought he looked like he needed a shower and I never really considered him funny. Even I was shocked when I first started looking at him in a different light! Do you want to know who I'm talking about? Well, I'll tell you but I'm going to bed as soon as I post this so if you're going to laugh at me too, please do it quietly so you don't wake me up. lol!

I admitted to having a crush on ...

Russell Brand

I can't explain it really other than to say I love a guy with an accent and I started thinking differently about this guy last summer after I read what he wrote for Amy Winelhouse after she passed away. Did you read it? It's on his blog. I read it and remember thinking, "Wow, who knew he actually had deep thoughts." lol! That was when my little crush started.

Now, he's getting divorced and I feel sorry for him cause I just know he's all sad and heartbroken. I could cheer him up!

OCG was watching TV and I was sitting beside him playing on the computer when I ran across yet another update on "the divorce". I looked at the pic they had of him and commented on Russell's sexiness. That's when OCG asked how much I had to drink as we were bringing in the new year.

I tried to explain the difference between good looks and sexiness. While I might not find Russell that good looking (He's no George Clooney!) I do find him to be a sexy man. well, I never should have gone there!

OCG: So, George Clooney is good looking, but Russell Brand is sexy?

ME: Right.

OCG: What am I?

ME: What do you mean?

OCG: Am I good looking or am I sexy?

ME: You....you have a good personality.

That was when he told me I needed help.

I know it was a mean thing to say, but he was laughing at me!

I used two of these templates with different kits. For this first layout I used the Harvest of Memories kit by Shel Belle Scraps and The Scrappy Kat...

I used Shel Belle Scraps' Take a Hike kit on another template for this layout...

How are you going to spend the last day of the year?

The Story of Me part 21

Harmony hopped onto her bicycle and rode down the street.

“Look at my bike. My Grandma Pat bought it for my birthday.” She called out to the kids on the corner. “Do you want to get your bikes and ride with me?” Harmony stopped her bike right before she crashed into one of the older boys in the small group of kids.

“Watch where you’re going, you crazy kid. You almost hit me.”

“I’m sorry. I’m still just learning to ride and stopping is hard for me.”

“So, you just got this bike?”

“Yes, I got it for my birthday. Do you guys want to ride with me.” Harmony smiled and looked at the kids hopefully.

The group of kids consisted of three boys and one girl. The girl looked to be about Harmony’s age and the boys were a little older.

“Where’s your Grandma now?” The older boy asked as he looked around and checked the street for adults.

“She’s in the house right now, but she’ll be back soon. You can meet her if you want to ride bikes with me.” Harmony was proud of herself for stepping out of the shy shell she had kept herself in and making an attempt at forming her first friendships.

The older boy smiled at his companions. “Well, we don’t have bikes. Maybe we can all take turns riding your bike. The other boys laughed and agreed that would be fun while the little girl just looked at Harmony and shook her head.

Harmony didn’t know the boys were making fun of her. She didn’t know that they weren’t nice boys. “OK, we can go back to my house and take turns.”

The older boy continued to do the talking for the group. “Which house is yours?”

“It’s right down the street. You can see it from here.”

“Ok, can I ride the bike there? I’ll go slow and you can walk with my sister.” The boy asked as he pointed to the little girl that still hadn’t said a word.

Harmony was so excited that she handed the bike over to the boy, looked at the girl and and smiled. “My name is Harmony. What’s your name.”

The little girl just stood there shaking her head as the other boys laughed and started running after the older boy as he took off on the bike. He was riding in the opposite direction of Harmony’s house.

“My house isn’t that way. You have to turn around now.” Harmony shouted after the boys.

“I’m sorry.” The little girl said before she took off after the boys.

Harmony stood there in the street watching them get farther and farther away with her bike and listening to their laughter as tears streamed down her cheeks.
