Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never...
So, my mother has moved into a giant new house where all of my childhood detritus is not welcome. I was asked (very nicely, in fact) to consolidate the boxes of my stuff that had been moved from one city to another to another over the past 5 years.
I had actually done a great job with a purge before move #1, so there was not all that much crap for me to dispose. However, the stuff that I did...

Year in Review
I am all nostalgia-centric these days (likely from being at home and having to clean out box after box of childhood memories that moved from house to house to house with my mother over the past 4 years).
In light of a week of severe introspection, family, and time to remember who I used to be, here’s my year in review color story:
Traveled halfway across the planet to visit my sister in...
“If you combine 1 part heeled black boots, 1 part makeup, 3 parts scandalous...”

“The best part of having a relationship is getting to call the person or lay down...”

Don’t buy anything you don’t want to...”

fullcredit:
35. Still unable to get through Joyce’s Ulysses; currently on his fourth attempt; contributes to an insecurity that holds he’s “not good enough” and “not intellectual.”
36. Three-week long stalemate with Beyonce regarding a particular baby name.
This is perfect.

Cara: I'm surprised the door guy gave you so much trouble
Lisa: see, I don't have the remote thing, just the keys, otherwise this would not have been an issue
Cara: So it's kind of a moot point to have a key sans clicker?
Lisa: ish. I can lock up when I leave that way... but I can't get in without it. it's an interesting middle ground between "Having a Key to the Apartment" and being the morning after girl.
Cara: Hmmm the remote thingys were only $25 at my weekend job FYI. And hardly!
Lisa: I don't know if I WANT a remote thingy yet. I don't know if we're there yet if we aren't even saying ILY yet...we probably should not be at the remote thingy stage yet
Cara: Haha didn't you hear? They've updated that childhood jingle. None of that first comes love then comes marriage nonsense. First comes shacking up, then comes key fobs, then comes mutually decided commitment levels :)
Lisa: maybe you should work in PR. I like your spin.

I am working on a really cool project for Bleacher Report where we are looking for two hosts: one young attractive female (18-25) and one guy (24-30) that is comfortable in front of a greenscreen and can ad-lib.
Cue intense unhappiness for having moved out of NYC for DC last year… NOW! Especially given my (albeit questionable) street cred from the Spec Sports section...
Days like today make me never want to be promoted.

There’s nothing like spending a little too much time with someone to suddenly make you feel completely inadequate and useless.

You know that moment...
…when you start to get curious about something stupid that is likely to upset you, and nobody is there to stop you from pursuing said curiosity, and then you succeed in both satisfying your curiosity and upsetting yourself.
(WHYYYYYYY did I do that?)
Curiosity may not kill this cat, but it definitely put her in a weird mood.
