Is there anything better/worse than seeing the man you love/loved and him being totally cool and wanting to hang out again?
Also, is there anything worse than crying in a cab?
New direction?
It started out as a simple “let’s file my taxes” evening. After entering all my information into the little boxes and finding that, again, I owed money….I’ve made the (sort of) decision to go back to school….again.
Is this what I really want? Do I NEED an English degree for my job? OR, is this something that I want to do for myself? To get a degree in...

How hard is it...
to make a dress with sleeves?! All I want is a simple, black dress with sleeves for my sister’s wedding in just over two weeks. (Have I mentioned this? My sister is getting married in two weeks.)
I bought a dress, but I just don’t think it’s “dressy” enough, and despite being a crazy small, crazy rushed wedding, I still feel like I’m might be under dressed.

Turn to the left....
I have a big fashion event tomorrow after work (we are a media sponsor so we get VIP tickets) and among the many, many things that I am stressed out, my hair being straight and what I’m supposed to wear to this thing ranks high.
What does one wear to a fashion event that start right after work?
Well, at least my nails look nice.

Scent memory
A man sat next to me on the train this morning. It wasn’t a crowded train for a Monday, yet I could feel him pressing his legs into mine with an intense pressure. I looked up from my book (another Alice Munro short story collection…ugh, so the best ever) and was pleased to see that the thigh pressure was coming from the most beautiful man I’ve seen in a long time.

When I turned 13, my slumber party turned epic, when the boys slumber party from down the street came to visit at 4 a.m.
When I turned 21, I blacked out from too many Skylabs and hurricanes. I was carried home by my two best friends and had my first...

Today could have gone one of two ways....
My friend, Jake had surgery today and I was kept in constant update via facebook. The doctor removed 60 percent of one of the tumors in his brain, and the other will be treated with chemo. He was in great spirits and even joking with the doctors during the operation, that he was fully awake for. AWAKE FOR SURGERY ON HIS BRAIN.
I’ve have been amazed by his positive spirit and attitude...
