discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
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? …
Woo hoo! I've hit 100 posts! Mazel tov! Here are some fun stats - a sampling, if you will. All links will open in a new window because that's a pet peeve of mine. 😉 Most popular: - My "To Use" List - Eponine - 11:11 Least popular: - Stripping down to my foundation - Happy …
Louise Belcher is my spirit animal. A conversation I had with a close friend earlier today - Me: I don't understand why people are so into her. Nothing she says is earth-shattering. Why are people wowed by her "wisdom?" Friend: To be fair, these are the same people who think mayonnaise is spicy. So I …
Grissom with a beard > Grissom clean shaven. 😉 For the past few weeks, I've been going through CSI on Netflix. It's a show I've always enjoyed but I never watched all the way through. It definitely piques my medical examiner interest as well. I find myself trying to guess cause of death before Dr. …
About a month ago, I mentioned this idea I had - 35 goals for my 35th year. I sat down & came up with 20 (so far). I figured I'll add more as things come to me. But for now? I have a good list of things to work on. 🙂 Some of the items …
