put a smile on your face

I love laughing, especially when my heart hurts. Today I have been laughing at basically everything and feeling ridiculous. It’s good to get it out though. There are these two guys, one that sits near me, the other works in Rhode Island, who are particularly funny. Today, just to drive me crazy, they sent about 100 emails between each other, with me copied, while I was in meetings. I got back to a full inbox with the most ridiculous message.

Then the one that sits next to me decides to see how many potato chips he can shove in his mouth. He got up to 25. Pretty decent…until…

He was saying goodbye to a lady that works near us and did a fake rap dance (he is seriously Will Ferell’s brother) and ripped his pants from front to back. I thought I was going to die laughing. He had to walk all the way outside like that. I don’t think he will ever live it down. We will now call him Seth the Ripper.

I think today should be an episode on the office…

oh boy.

Ok. So the real issue for my off/on posting is because of boy issues. Don't you love that? Well, my issue has now been resolved, although not ideally, so I will be back in full Hillary swing soon. I have missed all the comments and posting.

Thank God for His perfect will and His perfect timing. Instead of looking at a closed door, we sometimes need to look at a HUGE one that will be opened, beautifully carved with gold nobs and all.

Waiting isn't easy. In fact, it's so hard sometimes I would rather rush for the goal and not wait for the blessings along the way. God knows this, however, and will sometimes bring us to a place where we can't do anything accept wait.

If you ever feel like pushing to get your way (I do just about everyday) try to think of the best possible scenario and then wait it out. God has a way of giving us more than we could EVER hope for. I have to admit, it doesn't seem possible to have anything better than I did, but I know that God will not give me something bad in exchange for the good. He cares way to much to do that.

I hope everyone is doing well and will catch up with all of your blogs soon. Take a walk in the sunshine for me today.

Love,

Hillary

a natural disaster

There has been a rise of animal shirts this summer and I thought I would make you all aware of it and where it came from. The movie Hot Rod displays young men doing the most ridiculous things and where strange clothing. The main character wears a wolf shirt that is quite ugly, yet hilarious in its own right.

Now people everywhere are catching on with the fad and will be seen sporting these somewhat horrible t-shirts. You can find them at forever 21 and urban outfitters (I think they copied each other) in more trendy styles and fabrics. If you want to go all out, however, make a trip to your local hunting store, discount warehouse (ie: Big Lots or Ocean State Job Lot), or even souvenir shop. You can find the shirts with rare, unsightly prints. My cousin just got a purple tie dye t-shirt with a HUGE parrot on it.

I am not recommending this trend but if you feel the need to get in touch with nature take the cheaper route and pick one up for $3. Believe me, it won’t last long.

beautiful day.

Saturday was my cousins wedding and we had so much fun! Here are a few pictures. I will be adding more soon. Thanks for those who helped with the outfit!

i like long hair

The other day I was feeling like a horse until I saw some pictures of girls with really long hair that still looked fashionable. Now I am happy again. My hair is getting pretty long and almost went for a shorter do but NO. I have to keep it because I always get mad at myself later.

Here is some inspiration for you hair-growers. There is a light at the end of the ugly hair day.

what a stud

Studs are in so break out your studded punk belts from 6th grade and pair them with a sweet little sundress (trust me, it will work).

Ways to wear the trend:
-Layered long necklaces, mainly silver, with some pearls or crystals
- Bedazzle your favorite v-neck with random studs or your skinny jean pockets (Michaels can help you out)
- Classic leather purse with studded accents
- Studs on boots and belts

A Day in the Life...

of a Hasbro employee. This morning instead of going to work we got to see a pre-screening of Transformers 2, free popcorn and soda included! It was awesome. The rest of the day I got to...

-try out a new game-
-suggest names for another game-
-sit in a puzzle meeting-
-eat cookies during my meeting-

Whoever said work couldn't be fun hasn't lived. (Ok, that's a little dramatic).

So, I liked the movie better than the first. Besides the occasional extremely corny line, it was pretty great. Of course while I was watching the movie I noticed all the outfits, and I really liked how Mikaela wore boots with everything. Although a little impractical in some scenes, she looked really cute. Now I want to go grab a few pairs for the summer that I can wear with shorts. In NYC the women wear boots 24/7 and looked fabulous so I figured I could give it my best shot.

Here are a few pairs I liked. I think they would look cute with white shorts...
