You are a laid back chick with a real natural beauty.
You can make unwashed hair and minimal make-up super sexy.
Men tend to notice you show the "real you" - and they appreciate it.
And while basic makes boring for some, it looks classic on you.
Imeem is only offering 30 seconds of each song. So, I snooped around on line and found this site(www.pcplanets.com) that offers music and videos. I'm gonna post it and see how it goes.
I have received a couple of PM's about changing blog layouts or backgrounds. Believe me when I tell you,I can't. Shortly after joining Blogstream, I floated around amazed at the different backgrounds and layouts. Mean while, I was Plain Jane.
So, I set about trying to learn how to change mine without success. One day I happened upon the blog, Seven Is What, by Seven is Darker. He had designed some blog layouts and backgrounds for other bloggers and they were amazing.
Not one to be shy, I asked if he would do one for me. Which he did. Followed some months later by doing another. He is very generous with his talents.
Not long ago, I discovered a site that was designed for people like me in mind, who know, NOTHING about HTML. These sites make changing your blog background and layouts simple. Just browse around, find one you like, copy and then enter the code.
Today I changed the layouts on both of my blogs, using the Funmunch site. They offer Premade blog layouts.
Here is how to change your layout.

An emotionally and mentally exhausting 11 days has taken it's toll. For once, I was very prepared and eager to see my therapist and I let him have it with both barrels blazing!
On the drive over I had anticipated making a day of it, poking around in some antique shops and treating myself to a nice lunch before heading back home. Didn't turn out that way.
After the session, I found myself tired and drained. For some reason that I can't explain, I cried all the way home for no particular reason.
Once home,I let the dogs out to do their "business" and play a while. It was quite hot so they didn't really dally about once they were through.
I turned up the AC a notch, walked into the bedroom, closed the door behind me, stripped off every bit of clothing and jumped into bed. Strange considering that in response to one of my questions on my other blog, I stated that I never sleep nude when alone. I'm always afraid the house will catch on fire or something and there I am in my birthday suit.
I only remember jumping into bed and getting settled between my body pillows. The next thing I know, 3 hours has passed.
For the past 11 days, I have been full throttle in "run away" mode. Needing a change of scenery, needing peace and quiet.Siimply put: TO RUN AWAY!
As luck would have it, my daughter called and without knowing, offered a solution. She will be leaving next Tuesday morning, with children in tow, to join her hubby and other Troopers for a few days at the beach. The only problem is who will watch after Abby, her Apricot Teacup poodle.
She had considered boarding her at a swanky little Doggie Spa not far from the beach, but Super Trooper nixed that idea. I could tell where this was going, but she was hesitant to ask, so I volunteered my services.
"Are you sure you don't mind?"
"Heck, no I don't mind. I would be delighted to doggie sit my grandpuppy. It will be like a vacation. Just tell Super Trooper to be a good boy and get that pool ready."
Already, visions of reading and working on my tan out by the pool are dancing around in my head. Perhaps a midnight swim. I might even fire up the grill and treat myself to a candlelight dinner for two (me and Abby) out on the deck.
Things sometimes have a way of falling in line. Perhaps I need to take naked naps more often!
*This song, Til I Kissed You by The Everly Brothers is PERFECT for this post!
"It is clear to me now that I have been moving toward you and you toward me for a long time. Though neither of us was aware of the other before we met,there was a kind of mindless certainty humming blithely along beneath our ignorance that ensured we would come together. Like two solitary birds flying the great prairies by celestial reckoning, all of these years and lifetimes we have been moving toward one another"-From "Bridges Of Madison County" by: Robert James Waller

After the hands of fate stepped in and made sure that our paths crossed once again (this time we DID exchange numbers), I spent the weekend in an almost trance like state.
Something very special had happened between us once left alone at the Waffle House in the early morning hours of June 3,1995. I was picking up on each and every one of his thoughts. They went directly from him to me.
He did more than just look at me, it seemed as if he looked past the Ice Princess and her many brick walls and defenses, right into my heart, mind and soul.
The way he touched my wrist, wasn't casual or something spur of the moment, it was carefully planned. I could already begin to feel my world turn upside down. Scary, yes, but also very much needed and welcome.
We talked each day on the phone, Monday - Wednesday. We talked with an ease of people that had known one another all their lives.Thursday morning he called and asked if I could meet him later that night on his way to Atlanta. It took me all of about 1 second to say, "yes".
The Alabama sky was full of stars that June night. He stood outside my car, leaning down slightly to see inside where I sat in the drivers seat clutching the steering wheel.
"I hate to, but I need to go", He announced while looking at the time.
"If this window were not in the way, I would give you a hug."
Was he kidding me? A hug...? Normally, I would have probably settled for a hug, but not this time.
"You remember when you walked me to the car at the Waffle House Saturday morning....?"
"Yes" He said softly.
"I wanted you to kiss me", I said boldly adding, "You knew that. Didn't you?"
"Yes." He said with an enormous degree of confidence.
"But....", I began and then had to stop and take a breath, "You wanted me to think about and anticipate it."
He looked only mildly stunned.
"Didn't you?" I questioned.
"Yes. Yes, I did." He said slowly as if deep in thought.
"Well, I have. Now kiss me."
He stepped back a bit from the car and raised one eyebrow.
"Is that a demand?" He asked.
"No. A request." I answered. This wasn't the kind of man you demanded anything from.
He moved back closer to the car. Things seemed to be going in slow motion. With his lips almost touching mine, he stopped for a split second to drag out the anticipation a little longer. My heart was beating rapidly inside my chest. And then, finally, his lips were on mine, soft and tender.
"Just as I thought", he said. My eyes were still closed and I found it hard to breathe. Before I could say anything, he kissed me again. This time letting the kiss unfold and build.
All the months of running into him in the rain, talking to him on the radio, meeting him yet not exchanging numbers, looking for him, finding him,all of it had lead up to this moment with his lips on mine.
12 years later, I still anticipate and yearn for his kiss. My heart still flutters and pounds.
I can honestly say, the first kiss with him was the most important kiss of my life. The moment his lips touched mine, I knew, this was THE MAN,the ONLY man, I wanted to kiss for the rest of my life.
