8:15PM, I am finally home after an incredibly long day. My hair is wet, and my mouth is dry but I can’t drink water because I’m currently bleaching the *expletive* out of my teeth. Oh, the glorious life of a working bride-to-be. I thought I might lose it on my way from work to the [...]
I wish I had the energy to write you lovely people something more eloquent, deep and meaningful tonight. But the truth is, the last two weeks of my life have been an absolute whirlwind. Crazy ups, and crazy downs. I am trying to do several large things all at once, the biggest being preparing for [...]
But surely, Lady Gaga will revive me tonight.
Hopefully.
I am thankful for so many things and people.
Keep it together, girl.
Every star deserves to twinkle.
To live in France, wear sunglasses and rouged lips. All I ever wanted.
A perfect storm.
Maybe seeing Lady Gaga next Wednesday will revive me.
Because I make such a great doormat. Always have. Perhaps just a pretty doormat with a head full of great brains that will never get put to proper use. Unfortunate really, because I want to contribute. I feel I have so much to give.
I will likely never be good enough for the majority of [...]
It’s 7:07 p.m. on July 4th. I’ve used all of my weight watchers points, I’ve finally reached an acceptable stopping point with my work, and I have no idea what to do. Laundry…nah. Dishes…nah.
PILATES TIME.
THEN FIREWORKS TIME.
THEN SLEEP TIME.
THEN TOMORROW=ADVENTURE!
PS, I am watching a special on seals. And I have a dachshund loafing torpedo-style [...]
On July 17th, I will turn 24.
On August 7th, I will be married.
It’s sort of mind blowing to think back to when I was younger…I always had this magic number, 24. Always wanted to be married and have a child by 24. Now 24 seems so young and so old all at the same time. [...]
“We are a nation obsessed. American culture is nothing more than a pastiche of fixations. We are obsessed with health. We are obsessed with pleasure. We are obsessed with speed. We are obsessed with efficiency. In simplest terms, we are obsessed by the desire to accelerate every element of our existence in a futile attempt [...]
This weekend
I must do something
spectacular.
So that I may return
to mundanity (should be spelled, MONDAnity)
with new found lust for
the freedom of weekends.
I miss all of this too much.
I love my little humble family.
I love my soulmate,
I love my submarine shaped dogs,
I love my little home.
Perhaps it’s time to stop striving
for achievement,
and relish what I’ve already created.
I’ve spent hours looking at photos and watching videos chronicling the most catastrophic environmental disaster in U.S. history. The gulf oil spill.
In 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit, I drove from Ohio all the way to New Orleans over a weekend. After spending only a few days there assisting in the animal rescue efforts, I came [...]
