A family is a family . . .



I've been thinking a lot about families lately.
I felt such hope with the passing of gay marriage.
I think people are entitled to their opinions -
but to me it just always seemed like discrimination.

I think a family is based on love and respect and committment.
And challenges present themselves in every relationship.
This picture just so resonates with me.
Can't you just feel the love?
It's palpable.

She may have been talking about Lipstick but I'm talking about haircolor

-Diana Vreeland

I am the person I love, so this quote means becoming bored with myself. Never gonna happen.

Yo Yo Yo

So there has been an outpouring of support for Tizzy and I in the last couple of days. Peeps were wondering what happened to us. And to be honest I'm not sure. I can't really post while at work anymore. I used to update a lot during lunch, or quickly at my desk, but that is not really possible at my new gig. So hmmmmm let's see what have I been doing.

-I've had a very busy social schedule, or let me say I have gotten out of my own way enough to have more fun in the last couple months than I have in the last couple of years. Here's to the year of yes!!!!!

-I've taken two sessions of tennis lessons

-I've hit up 5 streetfests

-I've been on one blind date, (it was fun, but no real follow up)

-I had a corporate outing that took an entire weekend.

-I tried a new diet/food system (lost two lbs the first week, then gained 3 the second week so I went back to normal eating after that)

-I started using anti-aging creams and potions, cause I was looking haggard.

-I started smoking again, but am doing accupuncture Thursday to quit again, and FINALLY.

-I celebrated Stylish older sisters 40th b-day, and Susie-Q's 70th in one big family filled weekend.

-I pierced a guys ear at a party, and then spent a month swooning over him, even though he lives 5 hours away and is an eternal bachelor. But really in my defense I kind of used him to get over a different eternal bachelor, it didn't really work. I need to quit eternal bachelors more than I need to quit smoking maybe.

-I started working out in the morning, then two weeks in I threw out my back again, so I had to stop that.

That's all I can think of for now folks.
