Giving & Thanks

Well....INSPO from one of my favorite bloggers whom I feel like I am friends with even though we have never met personally but we "follow" each other's lives from one big city to the other across the USA and engage with each other--- ALL THAT creepiness being said, her blog is here.  ANYWAY, the whole point of that paragraph was that I felt, even though I rarely write/blog anymore, I should write a thankful/grateful post!

I enjoy a good list so I will be listing these out-


  • First and foremost, I don't care how gross you think I am but I am thankful for Almond Nog, Trader Joes' version of Almond Milk Egg Nog, don't know how it all works, but it's damn delicious and has been in my gingerbread ground coffee also from Trader Joes, every single morning this week!  Yes I am a sucker for seasonal flavors, I am what they call #basic, and I own it.

  • AIR TRAVEL, even though I know LAX will be a complete cluster F tonight I am thankful that once I board that flight, I will be home to Seattle for the holiday in a few, short hours.  I miss my family so much and am so happy that they are not across the country or world and I can be home in a little over 2 hours. After the stress and grossness of airports of course.

  • ONLINE SHOPPING.  I cannot even tell you the last time I set foot in a mall.  I have become pro at this method of purchase! I send em back if they don't fit, I exchange via mail, I do it all!  Who wants to get undressed in a dressing room anyway?  BLAH.  I love coming home to a box or two or four.  I try and stay away from my computer after a couple glasses of wine though, it seems my bank account becomes much larger after some red wine is in the system.....yeesh.


  • Friends turned family.  You know who you are- I am a long way from my immediate family and my little friend group has grown to the perfect size of quality and awesome people who have become my family.  THANKFUL!

  • Holidays- I am a sucker for ALL of them.  Starting every year with Halloween and flowing through each one with decorations, themes, food, and weather changes...well kind of, it's supposed to be 90 in L.A. for Thanksgiving, I'm like BYEE off to WASHINGTON STATE! But that being said- I love all the holidays and all that comes with them!

That's all for now!  I am obviously so thankful for my family, boyfriend, the roof over my head and the food & water I have access to.  I know I am lucky and blessed! HAPPY TURKEY/THANKSGIVING ALL!

Fem

I am no feminist, or at least not an activist for feminism, but I just read the most interesting article.  Someone started a tweet chat where they asked men 16 questions of situations that women experience nearly on the daily- down to texting your friend that you got home safely, because this legitimately is something that women have to do.  It was so interesting to me to see how these things are actually ever present in my everyday life. Being a woman- means you DO have to watch your back, you do have to carry pepper spray, or even a small knife with you.  It means walking on streets late at night that there is a chance for something bad to happen. It means that people can blame your emotions on "that time of the month." THIS is a big one for me.  I am allowed to be upset, cry, or express anything I want via tears or with haste if it is upsetting, and NO it doesn't mean it's that time of the month. It means there is a chance that your ideas at work may be look...

A Little Sap

My biggest fear is that I will forget my memories. Whether they be fond, happy, sad, angry, or confusing memories, I don't want to forget them. Hence the reason one blogs perhaps?  Definitely one of the several reasons why I re-started blogging.   Since October my life has been such a cluster.  A blurred-together-all-in-one-cloud--- life.  I can't differentiate what I did in November with what I did in February.  That is not said negatively.  I have enjoyed every moment, adventure, conversation, dinner, drink, walk, hike, drive, experience and discovery that I have encountered.   Someone said to me the other day, "don't just survive, live."  And then I realized, I am living, even though it may look like I am just surviving sometimes.  Although I look at my life and think, I am 28, I live in a tiny studio apartment with no parking, I have a Los Angeles address, I have no significant other, I don't have 35 different friends to hang ...

Good Morning Everyone...!

So a man just walked into the coffeebean I'm at, which is on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, and announced just like this, "good morning everyone! I am a piece of shit!" No one paid any attention to him. He was clearly homeless, and probably just hungry and has misplaced his marbles somewhere. He proceeded to say that talking bad about himself out loud will make people want to be his friend because they will feel better about themselves. He was then escorted out by an employee. What I'd like to know is who in the world taught him that notion? How sad to think that putting yourself down will attract people that will be your friend.  Poor guy. It's Friday! And hot damn August is almost over. I don't even know where it went. Down some avenue away to some imaginary land I presume. Ever since April I don't even know what I've been doing. Traveling to Los Angeles a hell of a lot to hang out with people, explore, see stand up, eat, drink and be merry. It...
