Wanna see how I turned this:
Into THIS:
I got the table for FREE on Craigslist. And a very BFF bought those chairs for me at her favorite Thrift Store.
Awesome!!

my favorite: quotes
"Being powerful is like being a lady, if you have to tell people that you are, then you aren't"
--Margaret Thatcher
"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
--Coco Chanel
"Hear no evil, speak no evil - and you'll never be invited to a party,"
--Oscar Wilde

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stuart Mill
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill; That we shall pay any price, bear any burden; Meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe; To assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
--John F. Kennedy

To Do: Be Happy
The Optimist Creed
by Christian Larson
Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and
too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
