you are a lover, borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound





*The Wedding Planner is on in the background… I’m trying this new thing where romantic comedies and lovey-dovey couples don’t foster an instantaneous knee-jerk reaction where I start to feel bile rise up in my throat and I want to scream/vomit… Let’s see how this goes.*

Last year around this time I made a list of the top 25 things I learned in 2010. They all still stand true. I have some additions that I shall include here. As I mentioned previously, I do not do resolutions, so here are my declarations/revelations/moments of clarity.

26. People will almost always disappoint you if you provide too high of standards for them.
27. The only person you should worry about disappointing is yourself.
28. There is no such thing as luck. You work hard and create opportunities for yourself.
29. It is perfectly fine if the only reason you wear high heels is because they make you feel extra sassy!
30. You know more than you think and will never forget what you try to erase from your memory.
31. I like who I am, even if I am a single, late-twenties female who is constantly asked “what is wrong” with her to still be single at “her age”. lol
32. My greatest fear is not that I will end up alone, but that I will lose who I am in the identity of someone else. This has remained true for the past 7 years and I am not sure if this will ever change.
33. In the words of Big Bang Theory: B**ches be crazy.
34. If I enter into a long-term relationship with a guy, he will not be in a relationship with his PS3/XBOX/etc.
35. I miss fingernail polish, perfume, and hooker-sized hoop earrings more than I can put into words. Sadly, they are not part of the hospital approved dress code.

I Did Not Cry

I did not cry. For two weeks I did not cry. As I laid there staring at the ultrasound monitor while the doctor kept adjusting the angle of the ultrasound wand, searching, hunting for a heartbeat, I did not cry. When we sat and tried to determine if our dates were “right” or if they could possible be “off” and the doctor spun his pregnancy calculator wheel to see if the measurements had any possibility of being correct, I did not cry. When the financial coordinator started asking about making our hospital copayment and for the first time I had to say that there was a chance the pregnancy was “no good”, I did not cry. Standing in the parking lot, reminding myself how to take a normal breath while my husband carefully looked me over, assessing to see if I was ok to safely drive the 45 minutes home, I did not cry. We waited ten days to find out that no, there was not a heartbeat, and no, the baby is not growing anymore. Still, I did not cry. I matter-of-factly...

be a light...

I believe in right and wrong. There is no grey area for me… I have come to realize that for most others this is not the way they view things and my perception is often too strict. That is fine. I accept that I am judgmental. Not accept in a passive, complacent manner, but in an “I’m working on it” manner. My struggle lies with the fact that I believe my extraordinarily judgmental, critical, perfectionist tendencies are what have brought me to this amazing, rewarding stage of my life. For that, I am not the least bit apologetic. However, the strict standards I hold myself and others to do not cause me to berate, ridicule, or patronize individuals who fall short of achieving those expectations. I have realized that we are all on journeys. Some people are simply further along in their journey than others. That is what makes life so intriguing, stimulating, and frustrating all at the same time! It is an intricate web of interactions; every day we come in contact with people who are ...

adding a little jingle to November

if you know me, you know i love projects. some are larger projects that take months. most are projects that happen as follows: my mom: so, what do you want to do this weekend? me: well, i have this project i've been wanting to do... then we are off to michael's/hobby lobby/joann's/etc for goodies. then madness ensues. saturday we had this exact conversation once i arrived at my parents' house. i then showed her this photo i found from pinterest - and we were off to the store! the link i found was not linked to an actual tutorial once i clicked the link i realized there was not an actual tutorial attached. i realized this was going to be one of those "fly by the seat of my pants" projects (read: MY MOST FAVORITE KIND). part one was finding ornaments and a frame. i started with michael's who had this adorable assortment of christmas/holiday/seasonal beaded word ornaments. i snagged one and my mom got a different word. then we were off to hob...
