Blast from the Past 22 - How to get a girl's heart

How to get a girl's heart

Here is something I found on Facebook. It is cute and a lot of it is true.

This is a disclaimer, I do not agree with all of them. I especially do not believe that all of them should be done before marriage. My comment are in () beside the actual things. And do not try to get a girl's heart unless you are really sure you want it, meaning that you really love her and want to marry her.

45 ways to get a girls heart...

1-touch their waist (this should wait)
2-talk to them (girls love to talk)
3-share secrets
4-give her your jacket
5-kiss them slowly

are you remembering this?

6-hug her
7-hold her
8-laugh with her
9-invite her somewhere
10-let her be with you when you're with your friends (girls do not like to be excluded)

keep reading

11-smile with her
12-take pics with her (we like pictures)
13-pull her onto your lap (wait)
14-when she says she loves you more, deny it. fight back
15-when her friends say i love her more than you, deny it. fight back and hug her tight so she cant get to her friends. it makes her feel loved

Are you thinking about someone?

16-always hug her and say i love you when you see her (only say I love you if you really do, this is mentioned later)
17-kiss her unexpectedly
18-HUG HER FROM BEHIND AROUND THE WAIST
19-tell her shes beautiful not sexy/Hot!
20-tell her the way you feel about her!

..20 u need to show her you mean it too

21-kiss her on the lips
22-DONT ask her to buy you stuff. you buy HER stuff (yeah)
23-TELL HER WHAT FEELS GOOD
24-make her feel loved
25-buy her stuff. small things can still help

we might deny it but we accutally like and kinda want you to get us things

26-don't lie to her...... (duh)
27-dont cheat on her!!!!!!!! (double duh)
28- just lay with her, just being with u will make her happy. (wait)
29-txt messege or call her in the morning and tell her have a good day at school, and how much you miss her
30-be there for her when ever she needs you, & even when she doesn't need you, just be there so she'll know that she can always count on you

are you still reading this? u better be, its important

31. Hold her close when she's cold and she can hold you too.
32. When you are alone hold her close and kiss her.
33. Kiss her on the cheek; it will give her the hint that you want to kiss them
34. While in the movie, put your arm around her and then she will automatically put her head on your shoulder, then lean in and tilt her chin up and kiss her lightly.
35. Dont ever tell her to leave even jokingly or act like you're mad. If shes upset, comfort her. (duh)

remember this next time you are with her

36. When people diss her, stand up for her. (of course)
37. Look deep into her eyes and tell her you love her. (only if you mean it)
38. Lay down under the stars and put her head on your chest so she can listen to the steady beat of your heart, Link your fingers together while you whisper to her as she rests her eyes and listens to you. (be careful with this)
39. When walking next to each other grab her hand.
40. When you hug her hold her in your arms as LONG as possible

MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS SHES LOVED

41. Call her at night to wish her sweet dreams.
42. Comfort her when she cries and wipe away her tears.
43. Take her for long walks at night.
44. Always Remind her how much you love her.
45. never tell her you love her, unless u truely mean it with all of your heart. (amen!)

you'll never know when she needs just a little more love....Rember this stuff.. it will help u...

The Perfect Outfit - No nonsense leggings

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I first realized that I was offered this opportunity I panicked a little bit. I am so not a fashionista. I spend about 2 minutes picking out my clothes in the morning. I do not spend tons of time or money buying them either. I thought about asking one of my sisters to guest post for me, they are both more into fashion than I am, but I really wanted to do this myself. As I looked into what I needed to do I found that I could do it. I do enjoy clothes and definitely have ones I prefer so I can talk to you about what I like, I don't have to be a fashionista to do that.

So what is it that I like? What is my style, my fashion? Well the first and most important thing is that it must be comfortable. I spend a lot of time in clothes, if i am going to wear them they are going to be comfortable. This has gotten even more important in the last couple years, how can I concentrate on being a good mom if I am in constant pain or discomfort? The second is that they must be decent. I am getting up and down, bending, twisting, running, on a daily basis, if I can't do all that without flashing everyone around me then I am not wearing the right clothes. Also if I am not capable of doing all that in the clothes I am wearing then I am not wearing the right clothes. Third it cannot take me forever to get into or out of the clothes. I do not have time to waste on making sure my outfit is perfect, I have way better things to do with my time. So I like things I can just throw on easily.

So with all that said No nonsense tights and leggings would definitely be a good addition to my wardrobe. They fit all the criteria: they are comfortable (well I assume they are, they look super comfy), they are decent (and they would help less decent outfits become more decent), and I don't think they would take too long to put on. And they are cute! I think they would make a great addition to quite a few of my outfits. They are also affordable.

I put together an outfit using No nonsense leggings to show you how I would use them. I chose the black cotton leggings because cotton is comfy and black goes with everything. I would throw on a long shirt/short dress over it. I would love to have a wide belt like that to pair with that kind of outfit. Honestly the rest of the collection I probably would not wear simply because I don't want to take the time to put on all of that but it was fun to pick it out and pretend :). Plus I had to have it in there for all you fashionistas who will be judging my collection :).

No nonsense also partnered with Jill Martin, a fashion expert, tv personality, and co author of "I Have Nothing to Wear" to create and promote their new lines. They have created some videos to show how their leggings can be useful for everyone. Check this one out!

Are you wondering now where you can find these neat leggings? Click on this link No nonsense tights and leggings and use the store locator to find a store that sells them near you. You can find them at many drug stores and mass retail stores! It looks like in my area they are sold at Kroger and Meijer. I also found the black ones on Walmart.com. You can also check them out on Facebook - No nonsense on Facebook and Twitter - @benononsense.

So what do you think? Do you wear leggings or tights regularly? What do you pair them with?

Friday Fascinations 6 and 7 Features

If you didn't catch it before Friday Fascinations is back! Go on over and link up!

As I was going through my old posts to see what # my latest linky party would be I noticed that I accidentally did not post features from Friday Fascinations 6 and 7 so I figured I would go ahead and post them here. Better late than never I guess. Sorry to all of you, that I did not get you featured before. So anyways here they are!

For those who are featured get yourself a button!

Friday Fascinations 6 Features

Favorite Recipe

Serenity You linked up a Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie that looks yummy!

Favorite Craft Idea

And Who Say's You Can't linked up her Top 10 Projects for Frames. Very Cool, lots of great ideas!

Favorite Kid Post

Delivering Grace linked up some ideas if if you experience Picture Book Fatigue (when preschool children get sick of the same old picture books but aren't ready for chapter books yet). Great ideas!

Friday Fascinations 7 Features

Favorite Recipe

One Creative Mommy linked up her recipe for Dehydrated Pears and DIY Fruit Rolls. My mom makes dehydrated fruit and I have always loved it! This makes me think maybe I should borrow her dehydrator and make myself some yummy dried fruit. And OCM I agree with you about dehydrated pairs being the best with a chewy center.

Favorite Craft Post

The Domesticated Princess linked up her post about a ring that she turned into a necklace. The story behind the ring is very touching, and the new necklace looks great!

Favorite Inspirational Post

One Creative Mommy linked up a post where she talks about her daughter going Gluten Free because of Celiac Disease. It is very touching. This subject is important to me because I have several family member who are gluten free and one who has celiac. Gluten free is becoming more and more common, I think most people know at least one person who is going gluten free. So this post is good for all of us. I am planning to go look at some of her other gluten free posts.

Thanks for all of you who linked up! Again, sorry it took me so long to post these. They were definitely worth looking at again!

Blast from the Past 21 - For guys who think they're so good but can't find a good girl, and girls looking for a good guy

For guys who think they're so good but can't find a good girl, and girls looking for a good guy

I copied this from a friends buletin. I had to edit it a little because I do not agree with all of it, but all the original wording is there minus the offensive words. When I changed words within the text they will be in []. When I have a comment it will be in ().

I'm sorry,
That I was raised with respect;
not to sleep with you when you were drunk,
for not to sleeping with you just for the sport.

I'm sorry,
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants.

I'm sorry,
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised, and
to say thank you and tell you I appreciate you
for respecting you.

I'm sorry,
That I'm not cute enough or popular enough
to be "your guy."

I'm sorry,
That I am actually nice, caring, patient, understanding
not an [stupid guy]. Nobody else can see it.

I'm sorry,
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things. (girls don't need a guy with a big bank account, just one who loves them and makes enough to support them)

I'm sorry,
That I would like to spend quality nights at home...
just cuddling with you, cooking for you,
or even being in your beautiful presence.

I'm sorry,
I would rather make love to you then just [have sex with] you like all the rest of the [stupid guys]. That I want you to feel my love in my passion with you.

I'm sorry,
That I am always the one you need to talk to, for always being there when you needed me, but never good enough to date, or thank. I know you've thanked me, but it's hard to accept it so much.

I'm sorry,
That I always held your hair back when you threw up,and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car, and on my pants.
That when we went out, you went home with another guy. (guys if you are a good guy then you should want a good girl, and good girls don't do this stuff, so why do you want her anyways? Why do you talk about girls going for the wrong guy when you are going for the wrong girl?)

I'm sorry,
That I am there to come to see your beautiful face, filled with tears at 2 in the morning, or pick you up at 4 AM when your new man hurt you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough or to busy to listen to me when I need a friend. (ditto above)

I'm sorry,
If I start not...being there, being used as a door mat, and only to be thrown to the side when the new [stupid guy] comes around, or when anything else has your attention.

I'm sorry,
If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, just to listen to you cry for hours. I often get just as upset and cry quietly with you..hoping you to hear me or worry about me... instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work or school.

I'm sorry,
that you can't realize.. I've been the ONE all along.

I'm sorry,
That you hooked up with my friend, knowing that all I wanted was to be with you.

I'm sorry,
that you go running back to the guy that hurts you so much.

I'm sorry,
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care.

I'm sorry,
That you can't accept me for who I am...

I'm sorry,
that no matter what I am, what I do, what I say, and what I am willing to do FOR YOU........ will never be enough to keep you from continuing to look for something better.

I'm sorry,
that i get upset when you find something more fun and decide to throw everything we have away on a short new experience.

I'm sorry
that no matter how honest i am with you, you still doubt me when it's mentioned by another.

I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore, sorry for giving my all only to have it thrown back in my face.

Ladies always [complain] and [complain] to their friends that there is never any good guys out there anymore, and they always end up with [stupid guys] who treat them bad. Well ladies next time your [complaining], maybe look up to see who your [complaining] to, (when I complain about guys I usually complain to girls, guys don't really understand) maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word like usual, screaming in his head "why don't you give me a try?"
Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.

If you're a guy and you agree with this letter, repost as "I'm sorry" and add a little if I forgot something

If You're one of the few girls with enough balls (why would we want male parts? I thought guys liked us as girls?) to repost, and you would never make your guy feel this way, repost as "To all the girls who can't accept a good guy"

(I will reiterate. If a girl does not see you for the good guy that you are why are you chasing her? There are girls who really are looking for good guys, just like there are guys who are looking for girls who want good guys. So why don't you stop complaining and go find a good girl.)

Please Excuse My Mess

InLinkz has recently changed their Link Manager (which I was using for the tab menus) and I wasn't really using it well anyways so I am going to be changing the menus again. I'm sorry if this creates an inconvenience for you. Hopefully it will make things easier to navigate in the future. If you are looking for a specific post you can try the search feature in the right side, or visit again in a week or two, or feel free to ask me.

Friday Fascinations 8 - Friday Fascinations is back! - Everything Linky Party

I had to stop the Friday Fascinations Linky Party a couple months ago because life was just too busy (with painting our house) and I didn't have time to give the party the attention it needed (because linky parties do take a decent amount of time).

Well now that we are done painting and we are past the holidays I would like to start up Friday Fascinations again. But I am going to make a few changes. Trying to do a weekly party was just too much for me. I felt like I never got to write any posts besides party posts because I was constantly working on those. So I am going to start with a biweekly party and if that is still too much then it will become a monthly party. This should not affect you too much because I am going to leave the party open for the entire time that it is up. So if it is a biweekly party it will be up for 2 weeks, if it is a montly party you can link up any time in that month. I will do this because I like the idea of there always being a linky party going on. I find it very frustrating when I hear about a good linky party, go to the site and it is not running. I do not have time to haunt other people's blogs just waiting for their linky party to go live. The blogs that have a linky party going on the longest get the most link ups from me. There will still be no limit on how many posts you can link up so feel free to link up more every week! I am also going to be experimenting with how the links are shown. If you don't see your link at the bottom don't worry, it may show up in the middle or at the top. This is an effort to make it more fair, since the ones that are linked up first usually get the most views.

I am not sure yet how this all will affect the feature posts. I will be experimenting with where I want to put those. I may have them be a separate post or I may put the features on the party following the end of the link ups. I will just have to try and see what works best for me. But don't worry, there will be features :)

So anyway without further ado here is the party!

This week we are going to do an everything linky party. You can link up anything that you have been working on, thinking about, writing about, whatever. Literally any post of yours that you would like to share with my readers link it up!

Oh and if you have a linky party that you would like me to visit please link it up in the Link Up Your Party Here tab above. I love visiting parties and when I have time I go to that tab and visit all the parties that are open at that time.

The rules:

For this party you may link up anything that you have been working on - crafts, recipes, random musings, etc. I do not mind links to giveaways or parties as long as you state that it is a giveaway or party in the title. Link up whatever you want just please be honest in the title. I do some themed linky parties sometimes, but this one is a free for all!
Please follow me in some way. If you absolutely hate my blog then of course don't follow it, but if you hate it should you really be linking up? (I leave that for you to answer :) There are several ways to follow me offered on the right sidebar.
Link up directly to the post, not your home page.
By linking up you are giving me permission to feature your post including but not limited to pictures and quotes from your post, and also to feature your post in my various social media outlets.
This is a family friendly, Christ following blog. I reserve the right to remove a link to any content that I find offensive or not compatible with this blog, with or without notice.
Please add a back link or my button to your blog or post somewhere. You can find my buttons in the button tab above.
Please check out some of the other links and leave some love in some way (comment, pin, follow, etc.)

Oh and I'd love it if you would take a button!

Blast from the Past 20 - A Cut Up Poem - You and Me

This series consists of notes that I wrote on facebook in the past. Enjoy reading my thoughts during my college years. Please comment but please be nice! Also please feel free to check out my other Blast from the Past Posts.

From April 2007

This is a cut up poem, which means that I took phrases from several books and articles and put them together in a way that made sense, in this case made almost a story.

You and Me

A cloudy spot flew through the night
Feathered mail from earth’s inmost womb

You sense my presence in a snapshot
Open a drawer, it’s still there
I lifted and supported you
You think of me then forget and smile
I know the truth and I get very mad

It is appropriate to be realistic
Life is complex but you get what you want
You are not good for my mental health
