The next seven days.
Sometime in the middle of the night my heat went out. It’s no big deal. I just need to replace the batteries in the thermostat. But with every degree the temperature in my house drops, the Christmas lights we’ve so tackily taped to the wall peel off one by one. My house is a strew of dangling Christmas lights. It looks like the after-mess of a long night of partying. Then again, I was...

Mango.
I’ve been talking about finding a new home for Mango for several months now. Don’t get me wrong, I love her. She was a great bird. A little mean, a little racist, and a little, okay, very loud. But she was a good bird.
I got a 10:00 wake up call from my father this morning telling me to bring the bird to work. She was going to his secretary’s mother who has a cockatoo and wants...
Sugar crash. Making me delirious.

Ashly: yeah i took a design class with her

Ashly: hahaha you loved all over it
Ashly: that could mean so many things
Me: Hahah I fucked on her paintings when she wasn't home
Ashly: hahahaha
doing drugs doesn't make you cool
(neither does posting pictures of yourself doing said drugs).
Losing my mind.
I went to the grocery store last night before cooking dinner for the girls. When I arrived home Chrissy was just pulling up. She’s been living in Antigua for months and it’s the first time I’ve seen her in forever. I suppose I may have been a little sidetracked, but I carried everything in, unpacked it, and went about talking with her.
I was standing in my kitchen a few seconds...

Talking to a best friend of mine the other night I realized how the smallest change in my past could have had such a hugeeeeee impact on my present and future. I realize that this idea is thought about all the time. But, I had never really, deeply, thought it out until recently.
A few years ago…
This is fucking awesome. I’m glad I left you at that party that...
2am Ramblings.
I have written three tumblr posts since arriving home. After completing each one of them I deleted them. So I’m going to leave tonight at this:
I am in the best place I have been in in awhile
And by this I mean, I am happy. I have self confidence. I am focusing on my own personal growth. I am learning to keep boundaries where appropriate, as well as let them down where appropriate.

I don’t ever post fashion tips. But I found one today that will really help dig me out of an accessory problem I’ve been having.
I love scarves. But more than anyone, I have a serious issue with getting them to lay right. No matter how many times I drape, twist, and lay scarves, they always seem to look perfect on everyone else and a mess on me. Today, I came across a type of scarf...
McDonalds. You blow.
Dealing with people is tough. I know this. I understand this. I respect this. I worked at Petco for two years. It was unbelievably frustrating to be talked down to the way I was.
We went to McDonalds tonight. I understand Drive-Thru cashiers get a lot of shit. Probably more than I could relate to from my Petco job. But the girl was honestly fucking with us::
Me: Hi can we get two chicken...
