live your life.

“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”


Isn't Carrie so profound? :)


The last few days have been very...interesting. Yes - interesting is a good way to sum things up. I've gone through a range of emotions over a few different situations. I actually thought that I was handling the " situation that I'm not going to blog about anymore" (ahem) pretty well...UNTIL this morning. Yanno, my buela used to always say " When you look for something, you find it" . Well, dammit - I need to tape my eyelids shut indefinitely. That is all I'm going to say about that.


I've decided that I'm going to take a step back from everything & almost everyone - and breathe. While I love & adore my friends & family, I've realized that there are just some things you have to do alone.. and for me, it's live my best life right now. Not to say that they are stopping me from doing so, but I think that I take too much stock in what they say & how they view me. It's always easy to give optimistic advice when you're blindly in love or have a fabulous career...it's harder for some people to separate "their" reality from actual reality & give realistic advice. *sigh* God,help your children.

In any event, I'm ready for the rest of this journey called life. Although it's beat the hell outta me at times..simple little joys make it ALL worth it in the end.

    It beats you, but fortunately you're no Tina Turner. You don't have to take it. You get up & dust your self off & punch the negativity dead in the face. Work towards the positive & remember don't give a fuck what anyone says, make YOU happy.

love isn't about perfection.

it’s about imperfection and flaws and mistakes. it’s about the mess. love is an emotional train wreck, but i want the mess . i want the train wreck. there will be days when we are so tired of each other, when we want to throw in the towel and be done with it. there will be days when i want to wring your neck and you want to pull your hair out. sometimes i will drive you crazy, and sometimes you will annoy me to no end. we will fight and we will be frustrated. but we will also laugh and laugh and laugh. we’ll act like kids and have fun and never grow up. we will be enslaved by our passion for life and for each other . we’ll stay up late and talk about everything that makes us tick and all the things we wake up for. we’ll eat dessert first and kiss each other unexpectedly. we will explore new places and fall asleep together. fair warning— i hog the covers and i like to cuddle and sometimes i snore. i will entwine my legs with yours and we’ll dream tangled in each other. i...

Oh, sweet blog - how I've neglected thee. :( I have a great reason tho - LIFE . I found one...it was buried under some of my Vans, like 2 Coach bags & an old swiss roll (go figure) *smile* But - I do need to blog. So here's my promise. Starting Sept. 1st, I will blog EVERYDAY - even if it's just one word/sentence. I have so much to say, but I need to sort my thoughts out.. I should have it done by then. xoxo

shame on me - no, shame on you.

"If someone tells you who they are, believe them." Maya Angelou I don't think I've fully embraced that quote until now. A person is always going to present who they are & what they're about - and sometimes, they don't even realize it. It can be in a joke..or maybe a story told about another person. Somehow, someway - they let you know EXACTLY where they stand. I can be honestly enough and say that I have gotten caught up.. I have found myself believing that my bullshit meter is in working order and that NOTHING can get past me. Yeah- THAT didn't work out so well. So, here I sit...writing this blog with a heavy heart & confused spirit. I have a bad habit of wanting to rescue people..and somewhere along the way, I forget to save the most important person - me. I give people way too many chances...way too many opportunities to mistreat & destroy my heart. I put their feelings & wants before my own - and even when they quack LOUD as day, I ref...
