Digressive Ramblings

Just an old article to share with you all. Christina Hendricks, the redhead from Mad Men, wrote an open letter to guys in Esquire a bit a go and I agree with most of it. Check it out here!

This song is the first one I remember dancing and singing around to. Paula Abdul- Opposites Attract Baby seems we never ever agree You like the movies And I like T.V. I take things serious And you take 'em light I go to bed early And I party all night Our friends are sayin' We ain't gonna last Cuz I move slowly And baby I'm fast I like it quiet And I love to shout But when we get together It just all work out I take-2 steps forward I take-2 steps back We come together Cuz opposites attract And you know-it ain't fiction Just a natural fact We come together Cuz opposites attract Who'd a thought we could be lovers She makes the bed And he steals the covers She likes it neat And he makes a mess I take it easy Baby I get obsessed She's got the money And he's always broke I don't like cigarettes And I like to smoke Things in common Just ain't a one But when we get together We have nothin' but fun ...

Today I am kicking everyone's butt. I  woke up this morning to an email that made me mad and made me frustrated that a lot of people seem to like to walk all over me and not worry about it. So today, I'm making things happen. Vendors are getting words, friends are getting words, deadbeats are getting words. And I'm standing up for myself. I'm done with toxic friendships in my life. Why should I put myself out for other people and try to keep a friendship there when they don't feel the need to work on said friendship. So what if that means I will be down 2 "best friends"? How best could they possibly be if they don't know anything going on in my life or even care to attempt to talk to me occasionally. I'm "friend" detoxing... I have enough fabulous people in my life I don't need them too. PLUS that just means less Christmas and Birthday presents for me to buy. Not to mention a wedding I don't have to attend now. Not too excepti...

Okay so my camera adds weird black dots, but here ya go... how I look right this second through the lens of an iPhone. I know it says see your teeth, but I'm pretty sure they have food in them.Oh and you better believe that's a Ralph's bag full of Tim Tams behind me... I'm so ready to TIM TAM SLAM! If you really want to see them/ see how amazing I looked (and tell me that too haha) at Michele Monteforte (now Bruggerman)'s wedding this weekend I have added another picture for your enjoyment.

It's so easy to make, cheap to buy and super yummy... this got me through college. Pasta Salad: 1 package multi-color rotini 1 can sliced olives 1 can sweet corn  grape tomatos Zesty Italian dressing Make the pasta, combine ingredients, add enough dressing so it's to your liking. Enjoy. SO yum and SO easy. This makes a serious amount of pasta salad, but it's so good you will eat it for days. So this isn't mine and they use cheese instead of corn (have done that as a mix in before) but this is what it looks like. SO YUM FYI- I use to make an amazing lemon chicken that I use to mix in; pre veg. days so here's how I did that. 1 Chicken breast butter lemon pepper seasoning put about a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and let it warm. Cut Chicken breast into bit size pieces while still cold. Place in skillet. Add tons of lemon pepper seasoning-pan fry till the chicken is done and golden. SO good. If you don't want to use th...

I'm a cynical romantic. It's another one of my odd contradictions. I love romantic movies and fairy tale endings, but I don't believe they're real- even though I want them to be. For instance, I know I mentioned earlier that someone I know got married INSANELY quickly. Now from a bit of Facebook evaluation it seems that it might have ended. Here's the thing- deep down I really wanted it to work. I wanted to believe this this romantic, swept away in love gesture could be real. I wanted to see a real-life fairy tale. Then this morning I checked PostSecret and I saw this postcard. Oh my gosh, I wanted to email in and be like "I DEMAND AN UPDATE!" For some reason, I needed to know how this was going to work out. My thought process after reading this was, "Oh I hope she says yes!" then it was "he's probably some jerk that treated her bad and so she left and she's finally free and happy". And I was torn. I wondered if s...

None of my friends did this one, but I am going to. It's incredibly refreshing to send it out there and not look back. Sorry it's vague, but I want to leave it at this: Dear Person, I wrote you a letter about this, but I never sent it to you. It's the longest entry I've ever put in my journal. And even though you ruined me initially, you made me grow and learn and become the person I am today. A stronger wiser person than I would have ever been if you had not be in my life- changing it forever. So, now, I can say I forgive you and while I don't thank you for what you did, I am grateful for who I am today. In conclusion, in the infamous words of Britney Spears, Cause now im Stronger than yesterday... Michelle
