Steel Pier is so perfect. Big Band, romance, flying, and dancing. Don't laugh, but sometimes I just close my eyes and wish I was there on the pier dancing with a nice man wearing red lipstck and my real pearl earrings.
Do something for yourself today, and listen to the soundtrack on spotify. Please. Thanks. Cheers!

Men of God
Today I have felt a deep gratitude in my heart for the Prophets and Apostles dedication to serve the Lord. How wonderful it is to see their love for Heavenly Father and His Son in all that they do and say. I know that they have a special witness of the living God and it fills me with so much joy! I know that Christ will come again, and I cannot even imagine the love that will be felt as He reigns on the earth once more. My niece Anna will be able to play in the sunshine, and someday I will get to meet my sister Shan. Words can not describe how wonderful that day will be when we meet our Savior and enter into His rest with our Heavenly Family. I know that Jesus is The Christ. My life would not exist without the divine Atonement. He is my ultimate example, He is the beginning and the end. My testimony of the men that lead the church on the earth today will never fail. The love they have for this Gospel is incredible, and real. Heavenly Father hears prayers and answers our prayers. I see God's hand in my life. The Holy Ghost is real, and guides and directs my life when I am choosing the right. I know the scriptures are true and that the stories are real. My love for Heavenly Father, and His Son Jesus Christ don't hold a candle to any material thing in this world.
I am so blessed to be able to have general conference on my birthday, and really, it's the best present I could have. I am hungry for the words of the Lord through the great men that lead The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

some things about me
I don't like cooked fruit.(in pie, or any dessert or dish.)
I love my frizzy red hair.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is my go to book.
Sometimes (most the time) I get tired of doing things alone all the time.
And so what if I like old movies and the crooners?
I love bedding and dishes.
A good romance movie is my cup of Italian soda.
I think pink roses are classy.
Red Nail Polish makes me feel good.
I wore sandals today. Yay!
If it's beautiful and breathtaking, and classy, I love it.
Saying a word three times just has to happen, you know?
I love love love vacuumed floors and clean dishes.
Candles are good.
Even though I want to teach English, some days, writing a paper is hard.
Heavenly Father loves me.
Planet fitness is like a second home.
I love seeing plays. I absolutely do.
I want to go to Disneyland.
I hope you have a nice day! Cheers love!

please?
I want him to sing at my wedding, but let's be real, that probably won't happen. I still love this album though. LOVE it. And I'm not engaged or anything... "That kind of talk can sweep a girl off her feet!" I just think about these things sometimes. *thank you amazon for the picture.

huge
Today, mother gave me a choice between two gifts for my birthday, a pair of new gym shoes and work out pants, or this beautiful cardigan that I love with my whole heart.
And I am ashamed and proud to say I chose the gym shoes and workout pants. I would be lying if I didn't say I love this sweater and I can see myself teaching high school English in this, but, I did the better thing and now I can sulk about it tomorrow and then get over myself and my love for pretty things. This is a huge step for me. I hate hate hate spending money on gym shoes. HATE IT. Hope you have had a wonderful Monday! Cheers!love, Maddie Violet
p.s. sometimes, I just have to picture all the amazing things I'll be able to wear when I am smaller after working out. But DANG IT I love that cardigan!

hoops
Today is my first experience with wearing hoop earrings.
They are gold, big and have diamonds in them.
Before I divulge into the detail of the morning, you should be aware that I am uncomfortable wearing hoops. And I have to remind myself to walk confidently. My distressed feelings with hoops probably comes from somewhere, I'm just not sure where.
So today I wore the hoops.
8 AM I am going down in the elevator at my apartment building when it stops on floor 2. I nice guy gets in the elevator with his laundry basket in tow. He is friendly and starts talking right when he walks in, by time we get to floor 1, he has asked me to look over his English papers and help him with grammar... and I said yes.
No worries, I shock myself sometimes.
On my way back from school< I go up the elevator to get to the 4th floor where there is an attractive guy. Obviously his phone has just shattered inconveniently, but I happen to have my phone, so he borrows it. After he made his phone call, we do the customary introductions and then ended up talking out in the hallway for a while.
Good Karma people! Good karma! My life just doesn't work out that way usually. It's the hoop earrings. It really is. Which means, I will be wearing them again. However, this leads me to think there is discrimination against pearls. I know, that's a weird thought, but it's mine. If I were wearing pearls today, it wouldn't have panned out that way, and heads wouldn't have turned.
Hope you all have a wonderful day! Cheers!

p.s. It was International Women's Day yesterday, so I hope all women enjoyed a day filled with remembering the many women who have made this world a better place to be. * I am now stepping off of my women's strength soap box. Thank you.

wednesday
Here's me doing nothing today.
I need to get out more. No, actually, I need a job. Anyone know who is hiring? I hope you have had a lovely day today. I have. I like school. More importantly, I like college. It pays off to study. I'm grateful for Biology tutors who help me even when they aren't scheduled, my warm apartment that desperately needs to be vacuumed, my mother who puts up with 4 calls a day, lovely room mates, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, Naps, Books, People who still read the newspaper i.e. the written word, the mountains, frizzy hair, sunshine, I'm grateful that I could pay attention in history and make some new friends...( I WAS SOCIAL!!!) All in all, today has been good. Real good. Now I just need an Italian soda, and a new pair of glasses.
Have a good day! Cheers!
love, Maddie Violet
