2012 Resolutions
In a snippet
Start flossing. Yes, its gross but true- I hate flossing. The idea of it grosses me out and the PAIN of it makes me want to cry. But don’t get grossed out just yet- I brush regularly (event the tongue!) and have yet to have a cavity in the 25 years I’ve been alive. Apparently, flossing is really good for you and if you just get past the bleeding/swollen gum issue its...

I wore black.
I wore black eyeliner to a funeral.
Possibly, with every feathered swipe across each lid I was testing my emotional threshold.
Just daring myself to shed a tear.
After all, it wasn’t my Grandmother who had died.
It wasn’t my family grieving a lost loved one.
I was there as support. A tree to lean on.
I didn’t go to my Grandmother’s funeral.
I was 6,677 miles away in...

I hate Facebook. I hate that I know better but can’t resist. Day ruiner, complete.

Facts
- Back from the NYC trip early yesterday morning and a full day of work plus family dinner means I didn’t even see my apartment until 9:45pm yesterday (I went straight from the airport to work)
- All that dramz means I immediately passed out cold at 9:47pm and slept until this morning, accomplishing nothing at home. It also means I’m way behind on Tumblr posts and recaps.
- We did...

Follow Up
I don’t want that last post on marriage to read like I’m anti-marriage or too cool for school. Lets be real- if I ever do get engaged/married/a case of the babies… you can fully expect to be spammed like CRAY through this lil ol blog.

brklyn asked: see, that's exactly what I'm talking about. everybody has their own reasons for doing everything they do. a college degree doesn't make someone marriageable, wanting to marry someone makes someone marriageable. but whether you marry your boyfriend or not you're happy right now and that's what matters.

Today
Today I am whole and happy.
It doesn’t matter that the scale is slightly up or that my bank account figure is slightly underwhelming.
Today, I’m smiling.

Tumblr just menu'd my dinner y'all.
grilledcheese answered your question: The whole bird

The whole bird
I have a whole chicken in the fridge that I can either cook tonight or slow cook all day tomorrow. I need some help here. I’ve never prepared chicken this way and I have a hungry man (and a hungry me) to feed. Do you have any recipe suggestions?

The Write Wish
Do you see what I did there? A nice play on words with my title should if nothing, show you I’m committed to my craft.
For as long I as can remember I have wanted to be a writer. As a child I loved reading and spending time in my school library; thrilled I was reading at a 5th grader level when only in the 2nd grade (Babysitters Club FTW) I flourished in high school English and Lit courses....
