Old School

It’s amazing what good movies can do for a night. Good, old school movies that take you back to a time and place that you’re fond of reminiscing about but maybe would never relive again. We watched 2 movies, one last night before we fell asleep on the couch and one this morning as we … Read More

Quit

Categories: bad day, growing

My policy in life has always been, “Quit, don’t get fired.” It applies to everything. Work, life, love; any situation that carries potential heartache or head ache. Some how it alleviates things if you are the one who walks away from the train wreck rather than allowing it to happen and you suffer anĀ irreparable casualty. … Read More

Not so bad

When I was in college and I was seeing the school psychologist (whom i LOVED! Wherever you are Dr. VanHarte… I hope you’re safe… more on that in another post), she advised me to start spending more time alone. One exercise she had me do was life altering. And it was so simple, but the … Read More

Blase

Maybe my body is going through one of those crazy cycles. I attempt to stay awake until I feel tired… but I never feel tired. Used to be that when I was smoking, I’d set my own time because I knew that something was going to relax me enough for me to fall asleep. I … Read More

Cold Feet

So today, I had my first real, bonafide case of cold feet. Going over contract talks with our acting attorney I started to realize the finality of things. And how with marriage, there is no turning back without SERIOUS repercussion. She was explaining to me the clauses in the contract with the reception hall and … Read More

Struggle

I took it a little slower this morning and just stopped to go through the pictures I posted in my gallery under “My History, My Past” and I thought to myself… how did the time go by so quickly. I’m my parent’s age now in those pictures. And me and my brother were just babies. … Read More

Today’s work load was a bit quieter and lighter than normal. Has to be attributed to the lack of folks milling around in the office. I was grateful for it though. I guess I had little butterflies in my stomach because tonight, my baby and I went to take our Engagement Photos at Rockefeller Center … Read More

FUCK THE MARRIED CLUB. Fuck the married-elitist-“I-have-a-family-and-you-don’t-so-that-makes-us-better” Club. I’m sick of friends marrying off and then shucking off the life they had. Just slithering out of the previous skin and moving on; leaving friends behind because of their status or lack thereof. I have lost SO MANY FRIENDS on account of the fact that they … Read More

Ordinary People

Categories: change, esteem, growing

This week has been so crazy for me. I feel like I didn’t live through it all the way … sounds strange I know. I feel like I’ve been hanging in a camera above my own body and watching what I go through… but not actually going through it myself. This engagement is still so … Read More

Electives

Categories: change, figuring it out, growing

Sometimes life treats you a certain way because you elect to let it do so. Some decision that you make (or fail to) determines how you’ll end up feeling at the end of the day. The decisions made (or not) today had me feeling like a bit of life’s hoar… bent over and used up … Read More
