Hi Friends and Family, On the car ride from Sarasota to Atlanta and back again, Sarah and I listened to the audio book, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Aside from the crazy, f***ed up, manipulative plot line, there is a great excerpt from the wife's perspective about men's expectations of women. If you heard my song, You Stubborn Fool, you know that I have strong[...]
Hey Friends and Family! Here are all the things I've loved this month: Bath and Body Works Candle: Eucalyptus Spearmint I am so obsessed with this candle, I've almost burnt the whole thing! I got it when I was stressing out a lot and it's surprisingly relaxing. It smells like a fancy hair salon but the best benefit is that it helps neutralize the smell o[...]
Hi Friends and Family, A few days ago, I moved out of Miami for good. It took all of two hours to pack up my apartment and leave the city I have lived in for more than four years. It was an incredible four years, but the only tangible evidence that those years even happened is a lot of Facebook photos, a diploma, and some hazy memories... and my friends, of course[...]
Hey Friends and Family! My love of St. Louis is real. My love of St. Louis is strong. You know the expression, you don't realize what you've got till it's gone? My appreciation of St. Louis grew substantially when I left for college. In fact, during my senior year of college, I took a public speaking class and gave a 10-minute speech about surviving a childh[...]
Hey Friends and Family, I love music, I love performing, and I love even more when music has a message. I've been playing the guitar since I was 12. When people find out that I play, they inevitably ask..... "can you sing?" Of course, I can sing. Anyone with functioning vocal cords can sing. The question they mean to ask is.... "can you sing well?"[...]
Hi Friends and Family! Like I wrote in a previous post, I've been working in the "real world" since January as a marketing coordinator for a flower distribution company in Miami. I previously thought that I entered the "real world" on May 1st, 1992, but apparently the first 21 years of my life were just a test run for what I'm doing now. However, I must argue that[...]
Hey Friends and Family! What do you call people from Naples?..... Nipples..... :-) In all seriousness, I spend way too much time in Naples. Now that all but one of my friends has left Miami to pursue shit elsewhere, I find myself visiting my fam in Naples more than I should (I am an independent, self-sufficient, young woman after all). I try not to go every wee[...]
Hi Friends and Family! For the past four 4th of July holidays, I have traveled to the small and charming town of Ludington, Michigan with my best friend Emma and her family. Emma's dad grew up in Ludington and some of her family still lives there to this day. Although I don't have any family in Ludington, and visiting that city on the fourth wasn't a part of my ch[...]
