Mary Kay

Hey everyone! 

I am going to start selling Mary Kay cosmetics by the end of the month.

If you would like some information on the products, are interested in being a client

[or if you want to start your own business as well!] then contact me:

 

email: dvineamber@yahoo.com

And I will try to answer all of your questions

 

And if you have a space where I could host a Skin care class or Beauty show, I would love some suggestions! 

 

Thank you and have a great day!

Amber Starr

wow

I really should try to update more often.

So last weekend I got to see LeAnne for the first time in over a year. It was so great getting to see her and the kids. Alaisa is getting so big and J'vion is so cute!

[I'll have pictures of that visit soon]

And I have a great weekend ahead of me as well. Ben and I are heading down to SoCal for a few days. I will get to attend the hearing for Aedyn which sets my mind a little more at ease.

No, I lied; it makes me even more anxious...

Then I will get to actually spend some time with Shane and Dee and Aedyn and I get to meet Connor at last!

Super Bowl Sunday I will be going to a party with Ben. Friends of his from high school have a party every year and even though he doesn't even follow football, he always goes.

Aahhh, so much happiness on the horizon....

home again home again

SO...
..the Air Force decided that I was damaged goods and that they needed to cut me loose. Now I am in Ferndale again and just trying to figure out what to do with myself.
Jeff and I are.. let's just say we don't really know what the hell is going on.
[Like we all know, I never know what's going on any damn way]
Right now I am taking everything as it comes..
I'm on strict doctor's orders to not work for AT LEAST a month and a half so I will be spending my days with my new favorite person in the world; Miss Lilly.
I will have to get some pictures of her on here, she's so beautiful. And I joke with her Momma [Danielle] that I am just going to keep her forever.

Well that's all for now...
I don't have a cell phone [at least not one with a plan anyway] and I'm not passing out Danielle's number so if you must get ahold of me call my parents and they will track me down or you can always email me.

Love and prayers the whole world over;
Amber Starr

from skittles

This is a poem my friend Skittles [aka Cyrano] wrote for me.

i hope that this time you win
so you can be happy once again
but if you thought you're weren't a winner before
you may want to think about that some more
sure there was hurt sure there was pain
sure there were things left tainted and stained
but you're a beautiful girl with a great smile
a beautiful heart and a wicked style
even though you haven't won in the love game
with friends like yours you've still won just the same

facebook

The other day Jeff was telling me how FaceBook.com is much better than Myspace because it's a bit more mature and there are no little kids trying to win the popularity game on it. So of course i signed up!

my sixth sense

I took the "what's your sixth sense?" quiz on gURL.com
		my sixth sense is clairaudio Sound is your sixth sense. You're probably not surprised since you might be found rockin' a pair of headphones at anytime. So how does this relate to your inner voice? Read more... What's your sixth sense?

I thought this was so cool because it is totally me. I have always had kind of an inner soundtrack. This quiz was really cool. Jeff got the same one as me, which is very funny.

coming soon to an ariport near me

Countdown Clocks at WishAFriend.com

Yahoo! I'm so excited that she's coming here to Florida.
I miss my mom like crazy.. I've been here 2 and a half months. I can't believe it.

So even though I have a feeling those are both guys lets pretend the one on the right with the longer hair is a girl. Because that is exactly how jeff and I are at the beach. Minus the "college drinks" of course.

Yes I miss my dad and my little brother too. I'm not just a mama's girl. I'm more of a Daddy's girl, but sshhhhhh... don't tell anyone

Some poetry courtesy of Amber Tamblyn

You might know her form Joan of Arcadia. Or maybe you saw the movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Either way I think that Amber Tamblyn is a great young woman. She cares less about being a movie star and more about being an actress. She is also a very talented poet.
This first one is very powerful, you can actually feel her words. It's also a little bit sad because I too have had a brush with cancer in my family. But I absolutely LOVE it.

And this one is just funny as hell. Thought that I should make you laugh after watching the last video! It has a tiny shade of blue but it's hilarious all the same.

*Hope you enjoyed it, I might add some other ones later or you can go to youtube.com yourself and find them.

Okay, I admit I am a little obsessed with RENT. But there are worse things to be obsessed about, don't you think?
And I LOVE Maria Kanellis from WWE. She's smart, funny, gorgeous and she makes all of her costumes. She's come a long way from being the ditz they scripted her to be.

And then of course there's John Cena... So pretty.

DUH.

How can something be terrible yet hilarious all at once?
This is my new favorite Disney movie EVER. It has over 100 references to other famous Disney classics. Most of them you can catch but a lot I read about on Wikipedia. It was funny, sweet, great music. The coolest part was seeing Idina Menzel [yes, Maureen]. Jeff and I both jumped up and screamed. It was a geek-out moment.

Ok I think this enough nothing-ness for one day. I added lots of Disney songs and musical numbers to my playlist. Definitely something to check out.

This Weekend...

Jeffrey and I are going to drive down to Tampa to see my grandparents. He is a little nervous about meeting them but I know it will all be fine. We are also going to Busch Gardens with them on Saturday. I am super excited about that because Jeffrey has NEVER BEEN TO A THEME PARK in his life! Can you believe it? Neither can I. So I will be taking him on every roller coaster I can get to at least 5 times. Hee hee...
This is going to be so much fun!

The only thing I worry about really is that we have to drive about 7 hours to get there. The trip back will be fine. We're going to borrow a car from his friend Brian. Jeff's got a '92 Firebird with no AC and the speakers just buzz at you. So Brian said we could borrow a car from to travel with a bit more comfort. lol.

Well I have to go sift through my pile of crap stuff clothes! Haha...

Much love to all!
♥

I DID IT!!! ♥

Yes sir I am at least in the Air Force! I swore in on Friday, March 28th. Right now I am considered a Reservist until I go back to choose my actual job [of the 5 I chose on my papers] and get my ship-out date.

YAY!

I love this
picture of the baby! It's hilarious and adorable. The Airman's symbol tattoo on his little tush is cute. [And I thought it was an image my dad would appreciate.]

This one I found on photobucket.com and I almost cried. I had to stretch it a little bit and the words ended up kind of distorted but I still like it.

GOOD Friday [to you]

So today I finally got Jeffrey to take me to the beach!
I hadn't been to Pensacola Beach in almost SIX YEARS!! I was so excited...
I'm a little sun-kissed, especially on my face lol, but I had so much fun.
Yesterday we saw TSgt. Greer [our Air Force recruiter] and he says that we will be going to MEPS together and that means we will be leaving for basic within a week or so of each other. Yay!! That increases our probability of being stationed together. Especially since we are going in for the same job at the same time and will be requesting the same stations,
We're aiming for Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California or Nevada. We both have friends and family in each of those states. I am so excited!!!!
So we should be going on Thursday and Friday of this week or next and this time I will be signing my contract and swearing in. No excuses this time around!!
[Basic Airman] [future] Irish

just had to...

i'm just way to eager for saint patty's to be here!!!

the difference between...

...Science and God

"Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist
professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his
new students to stand.

"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a
moment.

"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you
can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

"I wouldn't say that."

"But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if
you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He
doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even
though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can
you answer that one?"

The student remains silent.

"No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of
water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

"Let's start again, young fella Is God good?"

"Er...yes," the student says.

"Is Satan good?"

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."

"Then where does Satan come from?"

The student : "From...God..."

"That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there
evil in this world?"

"Yes, sir."

"Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything,
correct?"

"Yes."

"So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created
everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to
the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues:
"Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
things, do they exist in this world?"

The student: "Yes."

"So who created them?"

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his
question. "Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the
lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is
mesmerized.

"Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in
Jesus Christ, son?"

The student's voice is confident: "Yes, professor, I do."

The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you
use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen
Jesus?"

"No sir. I've never seen Him"

"Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"

"No, sir, I have not."

"Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or
smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus
Christ, or God for that matter?"

"No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."

"Yet you still believe in him?"

"Yes."

"According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable
protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that,
son?"

"Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith."

"Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem
science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith."

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a
question of his own. "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"

"Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."

"And is there such a thing as cold?"

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

"No sir, there isn't."

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested.
The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

"You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat,
mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we
don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below
zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is
no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the
lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when
it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have
or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.
You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of
heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units
because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the
absence of it."

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom,
sounding like a hammer.

"What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as
darkness?"

"Yes," the professor replies without hesitation. "What is night
if it isn't darkness?"

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the
absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have
Nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to
define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able
to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him.
This will be a good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?"

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is
flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed."

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.
"Flawed? Can you explain how?"

"You are working on the premise of duality," the student
explains. "You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good
God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something
finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a
thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much
less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life
is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive
thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it."

"Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they
evolved from a monkey?"

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young
man, yes, of course I do"

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he
realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

"Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work
and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you
not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a
preacher?"

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the
Commotion has subsided.

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other
student, let me give you an example of what I mean."

The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class
who has ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into
laughter.

"Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain,
felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No
one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of
empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no
brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain,
how can we trust your lectures, sir?"

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the
student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. "I
guess you'll have to take them on faith."

"Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists
with life," the student continues. "Now, sir, is there such a thing as
evil?"

Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We
see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man.
It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.
These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at
least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.
It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe
the absence of God.

God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when
man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold
that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there
is no light."

The professor sat down.

Don't I just look so serious? Like "Don't mess with this face.." I love it. I'm such a smart-looking person. I thought I would be playing the game today but I have decided to let Jeffrey play first so all the levels and characters are unlocked for me. I like to play as Zelda or Kirby. Luigi's pretty cool too.

So yeah this is pretty much what I've been doing for the last month [-ish] just taking pictures, of myself, and putting them on the computer... lol. no that's not pathetic at all. Ha Ha.. The shirt i'm wearing has happy bunny on it. It says "like i need your approval.." that is so me.. I almost didn't post this one because of le cleavage but i couldn't resist my smile. I just look too adorable to not be shared.

This here is my Jeffrey. Ain't he cute? He is a computer geek. Super whiz kid extraordinare here. The Madonna headphones are not a fashion statement though, he's simply chatting online with his fellow gamers. It's cute how he gets "in the zone" when he's gaming.. all serious and what not. Like right now he's in Brawl mode and yelling "YEYEAH!" when he beats something.. irresistible.. ♥

BRAWL, BABY!

Sweet barbecue sauce... [lol]
I'm sorry in advance if I'm not online for a few days. I will be absorbed in the awesomeness of Brawl and having fun playing it with my honey.
So much love to everyone out there in cyberland [cause who would ever want to leave Cyber Land anyway..? walls ain't so bad..]
