Just Misty

Am I the only girl in the world who gets in her car after a first date & immediately needs to hash it out, with SOMEONE, just talk about it? I can't be the only one. Take my night, yesterday for instance.  Went on, what I feel like, was a decent first date.  Now, I have had several kinds of first dates, awkward ones, fun ones, ones where I wished they were over the moment they began, one where my head was literally thinking about everything else in the world but the person sitting across from me and just nodding my head and responding with a lot of "mm hmm's" with a flirty smile on my face, and ones where I couldn't wait until we could make out because the electricity in the air was just-that-good, and ones where I knew it just wasn't going to go beyond this few hours I would spend with this person, but hey at least I was trying, right? So last night, decent.  Not sure what category it falls under yet. Went to a great bar.  Fantastic even and would def...

As I con tinued to take in 5th Avenue I was overwhelmed and couldn't believe the sites I had seen so far!  I had, at this pint, had two people ask me for directions.  I responded with, "I'm from LA...sorry." Proudly but also flattered that I either looked like a New Yorker, or maybe people just ask whomever. Anyway, I continued on my trek and then of course, turn a corner, and see St. Patrick's Cathedral! Gorgeous.  And of course something I have been wanting to see.  And then I turn around and I am in front of Rockefeller Center! No big deal.  I mean, I don't even think I comprehended how perfect my exploring was going! Rockefeller Center Beautiful building!  I walked around inside Rockefeller center and of course saw the tree! Which is not as stunning in the day time as it is at night, but I still loved every minute!  This building is huge and confusing.  I had to duck into AT&T to buy a phone charger as mine was act...

That right there is my very first glimpse of the city from my cab! At this point, as you can imagine.  I am screaming.  I don't care that I got an hour of sleep, and it wasn't even REM cycle sleep, it was sitting up, in an airplane, sleep.  NO BUENO.  But that could not take away from how gleeful I was feeling.  If my cab driver spoke more english I would have been very obnoxious and asked a billion questions, instead I texted my friend, who was at our hotel, getting ready to go to work as he was there for work until Friday.  I am sure he was laughing at my excited texts as he has been to New York several, yes SEVERAL times.  Ahh, this city could never get old though.  Much like LA, many areas, towns and places to explore and see.  I had an agenda, I knew exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see.  I just had no idea where anything was but I am just fine heading out and seeing and doing.  Unlike LA, you ...

I have to document my travels as I went to NYC last week for three full days and four nights.  I mean, my dreams came true in a heart beat.  And before I forget any details, I must blog! The traveler buried inside me was in high heaven.  I went to work on Wednesday, December 10th with my suitcase in my bug's trunk.  I could hardly focus on my tasks but knew I needed to because I would be out of my office on Thursday/Friday.  I don't even think I ate anything because I was dying of excitement!  6:00 PM rolled around and I was out that door like it was going out of style. LAX was a dead zone which was nice.  Parked Giovanni (my bug for those of you that don't read my blog and have not officially met him, rude) in the C-Lot, which I HATE but it's the cheapest and closest option for long-term parking.  I got to my terminal and found out I couldn't upgrade to a window seat as the plane was overbooked, who over books a flight? Odd.  I was reall...

I am 29 years old and here is what I know, don't know, think I know, etc etc... You absolutely 100% cannot compare your life to anyone else or mirror what they do- Someone you know still likes to party Thurs-Sun? Guess what, doesn't mean you should, or have to. Someone you know owns a house?  Doesn't mean you need to, this minute. Someone you know wants to be married?  It's ok if you don't. Someone you know has been in more then one serious relationship, and you haven't really had one? That doesn't mean you should have by now. You absolutely, 100% CAN- Say no! It's ok, say it, you don't HAVE to go get drinks on a week night when you know you will be dead and exhausted and don't feel like dropping $20 for a night of small talk. Spend a weekend alone.  No it's not sad, no it's not pathetic.  Get yourself a bottle of wine, make a date with Netflix.  Go on a walk around your neighborhood, explore something new, go to a movie,...
