before/after rock

After I helped some friends re-plant their outside garden, I told them I was taking a rock home so I could paint it for them...one month later... I have finally done it! I wasn't sure the idea I was going for, because not very many people are going to stop while going up to the front door to expect it, let alone, a rock. I went with what made the most sense and connects in a spiritual way as well.

It's a simple project, anyone can do, any age. I may use this for an art project at school teaching little ones!



The paint is super cheap you can grab at Michael's or Hobby Lobby! And brushes as well!
It didn't take long to dry so I hope it doesn't wash off in a Texas rain storm.


On the back I included the verse where I drew inspiration, finishing it with black sharpie. (first did metallic, couldn't see a thing)

"I planted the seed, Apollos water it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." -1 Cor. 3:6-7

My Weekly Girlcrush.

My crush this week is Meg Griffin.

I totally lie. No one likes Meg. (She's from Family Guy, if you weren't in on the joke...)

But my Girlcrush this week is the gorgeous Mila Kunis, the woman behind cartoon Meg's voice.

That's right, you may have only seen her in 2010 Oscar winning blockbuster Black Swan, or maybe, if you're a lesbian veteran, you'll have seen her in After Sex, in which she plays one half of a girl-on-girl couple.

Okay, firstly, Mila Kunis is shit hot. Look at her eyes, her mouth, her cute little button nose... Then there's her body. If you did see Black Swan, you'll have seen her lesbian dream sequence with lead actress, Natalie Portman, if you didn't, well, click THIS LINK. (That links to an edited version of the scene, as YouTube doesn't allow the whole thing. It's clearly too hot for them.)

I would have posted a picture of her body above too, but this Ukranian beauty (yep, she was born in the Ukraine) gets little attention paid to her beautiful face, so I thought that was just as good.

By playing the annoying Meg in Family Guy, and having starring roles in After Sex, Black Swan and The Book of Eli, we all know that Kunis is talented.

Not only that but she's also not shy of the odd lesbian scene - Meg also had a little snog with a girl on Family Guy, after she left prison...

Anyway, Mila is a hottie. Whether you like it or not. And there's no denying she's talented.

So get your movie head on and watch her films. You'll pretty much love all of them.

Happy Pride Season!

So this weekend, I attended my first pride festival of the year.

And you know what that means...

PRIDE SEASON HAS STARTED, BABY.

Ohh yeahhh, get the beer out ladies, I know you'll all be attending.

Personally, I thought the first UK pride of the year was actually pretty great!

My weekend consisted of spending far too much money on alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, forcing my legless friend to kiss a variety of unaesthetically-pleasing people and being pleasantly surprised by the live acts that performed on the main stage.

So which festivals are you ladies going to this year? London? New York? San Francisco? Let me know!

And maybe I'll tell you which I'm going to... ;)

Glee Is The S**t!

Just a quick one for you Glee lovers.

Pretty much everyone loves the current gayest show on television.

So here's some of the latest bloopers from the series, starring our lesbian favourite Santana (Naya Rivera) and her on/off crush, Brittany (Heather Morris).



Enjoy!

The Curse of an Overpowered Toile


I am from
the past,
toile facade
without a
story; a muslin
wrap guards
my skin:  I wait. 


ancient voices
stalk me;
whisper to my
fierce silence:

I listen. 


jolted ridged
in my
canvas flesh,
toile spirits
bind me still:

I stand. 


like scissors
ripping cloth
I surrender
to my darker
spirit:
I pray. 


ancient voices of
Jouy-en-Josas
grip my reason. 



from behind a door
they shout,
"joy from yourself!"
"joy to your pleasures!"
"joy for the kingdoms
of the past and now!"
"joy for the curse of
your inner
divine!"

I awaken. 


the world
mocks the
empty me,
but my
dark light
is birthing
from my lips,
beyond my
body:

I unfold.


the world
has forgotten
me, 
but no more: 


I stalk
every doubt,
the creature me,
a needle in
their stiched
souls:

I stand. 


giving birth to
my inner self
the light in
my face
is the reason
of  creation:

I emerge. 


you cannot
stand in the
way of creation;
you will not
hold my
future to the
forgotten past:

I become. 


my inner skin
opens in glory:

I am self-contained
in its beauty. 


who, under cover,
reveals the
cloth of self,
but me?

I am
toile!

I am
the
curse of
your fears!

I am
the door
to your
secret desires!

obey
your
toile!

hello, summer heat!

I think I forgot how hot it gets in Texas, and boy, its HOT! After going through a couple of days with storms, tornado warnings and high winds the past few days have been 90+ degree weather. If its only May 28, I can't believe what it will be like later in the summer. I'm thankful for the breaks in between for traveling so I can be in different climates and not sweat as I'm walking back up the stairs to go inside.

The continuation of Thursday Dinners is still happening (this past week moved to Wednesday) and I'm just extremely thankful for these opportunities and friends that want to gather for a meal and movie.


Shelby combined her love for Harry Potter and cooking skills to create a masterpiece dinner! (not pictured: apple tart for dessert and carrots)


roomies plus Russell!


group shot of friends using my lovely self-timer



What summer traditions do you have? Picnics? Outside parties?
Happy weekend! All you Texas folks, drink lots of water!

Be sure to catch it up NEXT! :-P

Cristiano Ronaldo Best Picture dedicates Golden Boot to Real Madrid fans

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH, (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾɨʃtiˈɐnu ʁuˈnaɫdu]; born 5 February 1985) commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a right winger or striker for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m,132m). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world,and values him at €1 billion as per his buyout clause.

Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years, then moved to Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup and played at Euro 2004 with Portugal. Ronaldo scored his first international goal in the opening game of the tournament against Greece, although Greece won 2–1. Portugal reached the final, which they again lost to Greece.

Ronaldo was the first player to win all four main PFA and FWA awards, doing so in 2007. In 2008, Ronaldo won the Champions League with United, was named best forward and player of the tournament and was the competition's top goalscorer as well as winning the European Golden Shoe, becoming the first winger to do so, and topping the Premier League Golden Boot award. He won three of the four main PFA and trophies, only missing the PFA Young Player of the Year, and was named the FIFPro, World Soccer and Onze d'Or Footballer of the Year and the World Player of the Year, in addition to becoming Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in 40 years. Ronaldo holds the distinction of being the first player to win the FIFA Puskás Award, an honour handed by FIFA to the best goal of the year. He scored that goal from 40 yards out against FC Porto in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, while playing for Manchester United Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff said in an interview on 2 April 2008, "Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United

On 15 May 2011, Ronaldo became the highest goal scorer in a season in the history of Real Madrid with 51 goals, surpassing the club's previous high of 49 by Ferenc Puskás, he would later finish the season with a total of 53 goals, making him the first Real Madrid player to ever reach as well as surpass 50 goals in a season. On 21 May 2011, Ronaldo broke the record of most goals ever scored in a season in La Liga with 40, surpassing Telmo Zarra's mark established in 1951 and Hugo Sanchez's mark matched in 1990, Ronaldo also broke Zarra's record of most goals per minute, with a goal scored every 70,7 minutes. The newspaper Marca, the official deliverer of the Pichichi Trophy (the top La Liga goalscorer award), claimed that Ronaldo scored 41 goals. In so doing, he won the European Golden Shoe award once again, becoming the first player to win the trophy in two different championships.

Ronaldo was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardenerHis second given name "Ronaldo" was chosen after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia
Club career
Early career

At the age of eight, Ronaldo played for amateur team Andorinha, where his father was the kit man. In 1995, Ronaldo signed with local club Nacional, and, after a title-winning campaign, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP, who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum.
Sporting CP

Ronaldo joined Sporting's other youth players who trained at the Academia Sporting, the club's football academy, in Alcochete. He became the only player ever to play for Sporting's under-16, under-17, under-18, B-team, and the first team, all within one season. He scored two goals in his league debut on 7 October 2002, which Sporting CP won 3–0 against Moreirense, while featuring for Portugal in the 2002 European Under-17 Championship

When he was 15, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart, a condition that might have forced him to give up playing football. The Sporting staff were made aware of the condition and Ronaldo's mother gave her authorisation for him to go into hospital. While there, he had an operation in which a laser was used to cauterise the area of his heart that was causing the problem. The surgery took place in the morning and Ronaldo was discharged from hospital by the end of the afternoon; he resumed training only a few days later

He was first spotted by then-Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier at the age of 16, but Liverpool declined to take him on because they decided he was too young and needed some time to develop his skills However, he came to the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 in the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. Ronaldo's performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him
