Not sure what to say really, I feel like I have a lot to say but not of it seems terribly important and “worthy” of an individual post. I’ve been feeling intensely inspired by things lately, where I’m frantically scanning the room for my phone to type or even record my thoughts. There’s so much rising up and spilling over the top and I wish I had some crazy Matrix-style-USB-cord attached to me that I could just hurry over and hook up to my computer to release everything while not losing a single thought or feeling. Since that hasn’t been invented yet or the government is just keeping it under wraps for now here we go. (Oh and if it hasn’t been invented yet, dibs!) Warning…this will be choppy, probably bullet points because that seems to reflect my current state.
• I went to Einstein’s Bagels for lunch childishly elated that’d they finally opened and literally spent 15minutes staring at the menu contemplating all the stupendous concoctions I could create only to get a Pumpernickel bagel with Plain cream cheese. Foolishness.
• I met the “mom of my dreams” yesterday. This woman is what I would love to be one day, naturally beautiful and unusually compassionate. She herded in 2 small girls and another beauty on her hip to wait in the office during her husband’s surgery and was immediately in awe of her grace and natural maternal flow.
• The oldest daughter of the aforementioned super moms was June she was 4yrs old going on 80 and she stole my heart. While mom was in the bathroom with Jolie and Gwendolyn, June hung out in the waiting area and proceeded to tell me everything her little head had absorbed. At one point she let out a sneeze and upon my God bless you she said just like the old soul she was, “Oh thank you, I’ve been under the weather and haven’t’ felt like myself for four days.
• By request (Meg and Ash): Books I’m reading or just finished…
1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak…Slow start but I loved the way it was written. I’m a sucker for different perspectives of actually events and it painted a vivid picture.
2. Bossy Pants by Tina Fey…Why did it take me so long to get around to it? People have said it and I disregarded the claims but have since converted and I.am.a.believer. Tina Fey you my lady are a freakin’ genius.
3. Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James…Sorry, I can’t say anymore because I blush just referencing it.
4. House Rules by Jodie Picoult…What can I say, this woman knows how to write. She’s yet to let me down and even though I never find the relevance in my personal life I love curling up with one of her stories.
5. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess… This woman kills me but in the best possible way. Then minute I feel cynical or psychotic she takes it to the next level. Because when I say things like this I get crossed eyed stares and references to my medications. Almost like a female Larry David.
6. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro…Brilliance and originality very hard to come by, the book broke my heart loved every page.
7. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher… This book is not for everyone. Provocative and haunting, it’s a quick read but research before you jump in and it makes you deal with dark subject matter.
8. Divergent by Veronica Roth… Honestly I only read ac chapter as I plan on finishing Bloom this weekend but it seems right up “our” alley and I think it’ll be a very good series.
