"Frozen" with this thought

Good morning everyone! I had another post scheduled to happen today but after reading an article this morning my brain started thinking hard.

In no way am I trying to upset anyone or hurt anyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on my blog. 

I read that they are thinking of making a sequel to Frozen showing that Elsa is Gay.

I don't agree with that thought. Now I am, all about you loving your self and who ever you do out in this world. One of my favorite Characters in a show turned to be gay and it was kind of hard to understand at first but how I was feeling other characters felt it to... of you love that character and it was a learning experience for the other characters and the viewers. Now I was also in high school when that subject came into talk/ thought. 

The story of Elsa has already been told. She is a strong Woman that is Independent and showed children that love between sisters is what can help you through life. That was the happy ending.  Just because Frozen had it's moment of the happy ending wasn't a princess finding a prince. It gave it's own story just like a lot of the movies do. 

Each princess show you a different life and a different journey. Elsa had powers and happy ending I just feel adding that to it as well will just make you look over the original story.

So I feel like if they are wanting to make a gay princess then start with a brand new character. Let us go on her journey from start to finish that is focused on that. Just the only thing that bothers me about that is when you watched the Princess when you were young I wanted to be each one of them.

 Snow White made me not like apples.....Cinderella made me want to dance with my prince.....Sleeping Beauty made me want to act like I was asleep all the time in hope that my prince would find me.... So now if I was that young girl would I watch this new Princess and want to be gay just like her.  

Again, I am not saying it's a bad thing to be at all but I feel like in my day that didn't come up until middle school high school ages. So is it going to have that same affect on children that aren't experiencing those kinds of issues/feelings. They look at the princesses as who they want to be when they grow up.   

I understand that times have changed and that rereading all that I am typing it's making me sound really old now.

It's really hard to understand what happened to the world to where we now have to be careful with everything we say or do for it not to offend everyone and it become such an issue. Why is everyone feeling so left out with everything  going on? Am I so stuck in my own little world being my own person that I have missed something? 

My intentions with this post wasn't to hurt or offend just simply a place where I can type out my thoughts. You can get your own blog and do that too!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I wanna be wanna your Friday night!

Good morning! So thanks to my fellow line dancing friend.... I was dancing around the bedroom last night to the step by step video she sent me and she is going to record herself doing a couple others for me as well! I am so totally excited! So I now know 3 dances and  I can do one no problem and I am still working on the others. After I became tired the dancing didn't stop because I remembered there was a movie that I wanted to watch again because of all of this excitement in my life..... Footloose!

Then of course watching that.... I wanted to dance again! I would really love to teach Kris the dances because I know he could do these.... from what his sister told me last night... she said he used to dance all the time and was surprised he hadn't asked me to teach him. Which I remember when we watched Footloose the first time he said he liked the dancing so.... maybe I need to work my magic and plan us a date night of teaching/learning to line dance! 

Also, I added a new bangle to my Alex and Ani bangle collection.....

I guess I am hooked! Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

If you take anything away from this recent craziness of me now talking about nothing but line dancing all the time.... know that it never hurts to try something new in your life and it may be scary but you may end up loving it and it will spark a fire in your life you had been missing.

Good morning! Happy Friday!

Good morning! Happy Friday! I have had such a wonderful week off of work! I miss my kids but I have been able to relax and enjoy some things I have been missing in my life! I mostly laid out by my parents pool and soaked up the sun! felt so good! I also transformed our bedroom from feeling like we are sleeping in the wilderness to now comfy-happy sleeping. As well as made a new collage frame....which I love!!!

Last night, I made Kris watch Can't Buy Me Love since it was now on Netflix and it is my mom's all time favorite movie!  The movie is from 1987 ( great year) Patrick Dempsey starred in it. If you haven't watched it you totally should! 

It was funny to see the fashion from back then that is coming back in style now a days. Like I am waiting on what they call a "Fishing shirt" which is a long sleeve button up shirt that is monogrammed on the back to wear as a bathing suit cover up and yet... Cindy Mansini had on a button up shirt herself as a cover up...

I hope you all had a wonderful week! Today, is going to be another fun day for me! We are throwing my Deema a tea party birthday party she is going to be 80 years old on Monday! we ware wearing our big hats and dresses and then having a pool day! I am hoping to take lots of pictures because I can't wait to see how beautiful my mom has everything prepared and plus I can't wait to wear my big hat and dress! :) I feel as if I will be looking like I am from the Hamptons today! Let me get my princess wave ready! 

Have an awesome day and check back tomorrow for the pictures of today!
