Fun (Foto) Friday: Where in the World is Miss Journey?

Do you know where this is? Look out for a post about my latest adventure!

Fun Friday: Miss Journey vs. Danielle

Although I am not one to participate in the Halloween festivities, I thought this would be a great opportunity to embrace my inner superhero and share my super alter ego.

Cue: theme music

As opposed to Danielle who is the shy and simple only child who would rather be lost in a book and chooses to hide behind her written words, Miss Journey is the fly, focused and fearless businesswoman who does whatever necessary to get the job done.

When she enters the room, each step goes to the beat and her hips switch to the rhythm of her entrance music.


She brings large groups of women together, representing all ages, races and cultures of the world.

She empowers large groups of women with her boldly and passionately spoken words.

She transcends boundaries and walks all the corners of the earth.

She is reminiscent of many familiar faces and invokes the combined strength of all those before her.

My Guilty pleasures

(inspired by Jade’s post)

-Diddy shows (and a lot of other reality shows including Real Housewives of Atlanta and Real Chance of Love might be added to the list :-/)- even though I know how contrived the drama is and how silly all that nonsense it, I can't help but to tune in and watch every episode and the encores

-YouTube- I can easily spend hours going from video to video of pure nonsense

-gay guys- like our good friend at Ihop (for those of you who know who I'm talking about). Fabulous gay guys are so fascinating!

-eating- knowing I'm not even hungry but just indulging in something ridiculous makes me happy on the inside

-sipping a little drinky drink for no good reason :-)

-giving my number to guys in the club- knowing i don't want half of them to call but there's still a bit of excitement about it

-getting lost/taking the scenic route- it's always so much more fun to explore

-cartoons- it just feels sooo good to sit and think about nothing but the maniacal laughter of Spongebob and all of my other cartoon friends: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Phineas and Ferb, The Mighty Bee, etc.

Is it sad that I got a bit of satisfaction just thinking about these guilty pleasures? lol :-)
