"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust noone but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

-Marilyn Monroe

Found some new words I absolutely ADORE. In every since of the explanation they speak to me. Ladies and Gents, I present to you, my next tattoo. Just... where should I put it? Calf? Stomach? Officially in love:

I should not be.

I think it is a testament of my youth that this is my motto.

what I want to say to you, you, you, you, & you

 Just found this on another blog and it was so awesome I had to repost it. 

Go to here to see the site.

Faves:

(270) Not only did I hold your hair bak as you puked, I french braided it. I am such a great friend.

(410): She put her phone in her underwear and it somehow managed to work it's way into her vagina. she has a BLACKBERRY.

(314): no ping pong balls so we’re playing beer pong with an ornament. you can’t tell me that’s not festive.

(205): just found a sign outside my brothers door "not going to church, don't even try" and he is covered is vomit in his bed.

(717): I like how my family gatherings are basically an ugly sweater party just with better beer and wine…

(650): I decided that just having that story under my belt and being able to tell it to my grandchildren is worth the regrets of the evening.

(210): I’m bringing in a picture of a stranger on facebook to get my haircut. I have reached a new level of creepy.

(803): her facebook's as public as her vagina

(505): i purposely bought her a small sweater. My way of saying, you’ve gotten fat.

(916): Don’t bite the hand that gives you multiple orgasms

(919): so I was just driving high and I stopped to let a pinecone cross the road because I thought it was a hedgehog.

(612): What started out as a threesome has become me sitting here watching them have sex… Can I get a ride home?

(901): guy in the car over is getting some terrible road head. he just gave me a thumbs down when he noticed i was watching.

(901): Woke up to a denim duvet cover this morning… why r guys so tacky?

another one for the "Words I Adore" category { to your right --> }

I'm amazed! To be honest, I'm ashamed that I did not first think that these words were written from the heart and not copy and pasted to express some truth that someone else had realized. I'm COMPLETELY victim of doing that all of the time. I lack the cleverness and creativity to write on my own instead of drowning my emotion in the song lyrics someone else wrote.

Which is why I'm amazed and so impressed! These words drew emotion out of me from so many memories of days gone by. To be honest, I'm not sure which is my favorite line. And I can usually peg that without thinking of it. It's a tie, def between the last and the third.

Wow:

I deleted your number...
...and took your photos off my wall. 

I think its safe to say we are not friends anymore.

Im going to try my best to not say your name anymore, I want you to do the same.
...I still love you even though history proves you suck.

I just had to, had to, HAD TO repost (with credit of course!)

ROBBY! ROBBY! LOOOOK:

Just Mare on Etsy

For some reason the mug reminds me of the mug I stole from my father's apartment after he died. I appreciate the handcrafted nature of this one as much as he did the handcrafted nature of his own he used every morning.

I would really very much so like to have a mug of my own. How great would it be to have a mug that is so beautiful and so... sooo... sooooo *sigh*. I am a little more comfortable than I was a moment ago. You know the feeling of sitting with a nice hot cup of coffee in front of a big window watching the Earth wake up? Comfortable like that.

Etsy is doing a story right now that you can read here. I really like Mary already. Her quoted quote is one of my new favorites. It's spoken so much more eliquently than the rambling explanation of why I want Aiden's art to be nurtured from home via homeschool instead of stripped away by public school forced conformity.

"I subscribe to Picasso’s sentiment that, “every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”" -Mary Lavan

Mrs. Mommy aka Ashley Marie Haydu

I can't lie and say I haven't thought about it. What would my life be like if I wasn't married and a mother?

And then she said something that slapped me. I said something about already being married, and she said something so simple but it shook my world. "You're still young." So simple. Still young, like, I have time to get out? Like there are still so many years ahead that things are bound to change? I didn't jump to any defenses either. I just thought about it as I took another drink of my wine and looked around the room at the different people living there lives in different stages. What would it be like to be in those stages today?

THEN, it hit me! Why should I even consider my life without Brandon and Aiden. I am 100% confident that even if I had waited, if I had said no to a life-long commitment to Brandon and then no to the effort of having a child...I would still be searching to find them. To make it happen one day. I am extremely lucky actually to have been able to find them and be living these moments with them. If I had said no, would I be as lucky to have found a man that would be more perfect for me than Brandon? Or a child that time brought so perfectly into the world?

No way.

Pay my respects to Grace and Virtue,
Send my condolences to Good.
Give my regards to Soul and Romance,
They always did the best they could.
So long to Devotion,
You tought me everything I know.
Wave Goodbye, Wish me well.
You gotta let me go.

-The Killers
