I matter.
I keep changing my blog name. It was something random at first. Then it was Opinionated at Heart. Then it was Opinionated in Private. And then today I changed it to Opinionated in [not so much] Private.
I’m learning about myself. I’m growing. And this blog is helping, along with all of my Google Reader subscriptions. I’m learning that I not only have opinions but that I like to share them. I want to be heard and validated and understood.
I’m also finding that it gets me in trouble. But, for right now at least, I’d rather speak up and take the punches than not speak up at all. Which is what I had spent a lot of my life doing. I matter. My beliefs, ideas, and opinions matter. I don’t want to push my thoughts onto anyone, I just want to be acknowledged for the thoughts that I have.
I can’t help but love these! My favorite is the one of them on the motorcycle. So amazing!
Found on Ciao Chessa where she said they came from Harper’s Bazaar

Do yourself a favor…go see “The Blind Side.”
It was everything I could have asked for from a feel-good movie. The movie inspired:
- Tears of empathy
- Tears of tenderness
- Tears of joy
Bonus points: My husband loved it too!
(and can I just say, Sandra Bullock’s feistiness may have reminded me a little bit of my own sassy streak!)
I also absolutely LOVED this movie. Sandra Bullock did outstanding. I want to aspire to be like her character.

This brings back memories! As an only child, my mother was forced into many games of Guess Who? I can’t wait to play with my daughter one day.

Milton Bradley - Do you really think that 5 women out of 24 characters in Guess Who is a fair proportion? I don’t.
I love what Veronica says. My sister and I just played this last week and we made the same comment. 5/24, that’s crazy.

Whoa. I love rainbows and I love pancakes but I don’t know about combining them. hehe

colorful dining
I love the different colored chairs, especially.
Tidbit
I love fruity flavored gum. But whenever I chew it, I usually end up swallowing it because it tastes so darn good. I try not to chew it very often but sometimes, like right now, you can’t resist. But now I struggling desperately to not swallow it but to keep on chewing. [I am so weird!]
