discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
A friend of mine recently had a 20-year high school reunion. She ended up talking & hitting things off with an old high school crush. One thing led to another... & I couldn't be happier for her. Go you! *high five* The more I think about it, the more I believe that's everyone's fantasy: to hook …
Happy Earth Day! This is the first year where I'm actively trying to do some good towards our planet. I went to Container Store today & bought reusable bags, bento boxes, & reusable sporks. I think this is gonna be a great turn around in my life. As I said yesterday, I don't want to …
I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In high school, I grabbed every piece of BtVS merchandise I could get. I think it was my 15th birthday when my high school best friends got me a Buffy calendar. That was (& still is) amazing to me. 🙂 But of course, I loved BtVS. Hot people …
I saw a local showing of The Maltese Falcon tonight. I couldn't get over how much everyone smoked back in 1941 (holy shit) & how cool Bogey was. The man oozes coolness. He stayed completely calm & in control. His three-piece suits fit him like a glove & his pinstripes were perfectly straight. He wore …
I was thinking about this morning when I was younger & in dance. I worked hard & moved "up the ladder" during my high school years. It wasn't too long before I was the big fish in a little pond. To put it bluntly, I thought I was the shit. I was cocky & proud. …
Oscar Wilde said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." According to him, I should feel honored when others try to emulate me. So why do I feel irritated instead? Maybe I should clarify. When a small child tries to parrot my mannerisms, I am flattered. It puts a …
For as long as I can remember, my Grandma has used this phrase to describe a get-together - "coffee-and." And even though she hasn't lived there in years, she'll still say it in her Brooklyn-accent, "Why don't you c'mon over & we'll have some coffee-and?" It never used to faze me until I was around …
I'm split on how I feel about snow. I don't like how it's messy & how it makes everyone an idiot on the road. I'm not a fan of the bitter cold that usually comes with it either. However I am a fan of how it covers everything in its thick, white blanket. You can't …
Ah, yes. Valentine's. The time of year when we show our love for one another. We shower each other with flowers, candy, wine, cards, & possibly sex. Bow-chicka-bow-wow! 😉 And here's why I don't celebrate it: *record scratch* WHAT?! Yeah. I don't do Valentine's. If I want flowers or wine or sex or whatever, I'll …
Today's Mardi Gras, the day gluttons rejoice! LOL! I kid, I kid. 😉 I didn't grow up Catholic nor am I a Catholic now, so maybe it's just my ignorance. I don't understand going all "balls to the wall" & then giving up something for 40 days. Is that supposed to make you more spiritual? …
