I have no issue with saying it. I want to be a big deal. I want to be important and known (not to mention understood).I know it's a little late in my life to be saying this (being that I'm *gasp* 62 days away from being thirty), but I'm ready to really commit to being … Continue reading On getting noticed….
On give and take….
Today is National Grammar Day. I told my husband this is a day that he should send me flowers at the office. He scoffed, saying that I'm guaranteed flowers on other, more meaningful days of the year. But for a person that loves all things grammatical, what could be a more important day?At any rate, … Continue reading On give and take….
On making contributions…
Contributing to society is something that's always been important to me. I want to make the most out of my life while I'm around and I figure that in order to really feel fulfilled, I need to contribute to the world, at large.I've donated my time to several teenage girls over the years (some of … Continue reading On making contributions…
On virtual celebrity….
Oh Twitter, how I love thee!140 characters to say anything and everything I could possibly come up with!I recently read in Vanity Fair about the rising popularity of this social phenomenon. Twitter serves no financial purpose to anyone using it (at face value, anyway. I'm sure Ivanka Trump has upped her jewelry sales some by … Continue reading On virtual celebrity….
On organizational tactics….
I'm a chronically organized person. I have four calendars (Outlook, Google, Desk, and Home) and am perpetually scheduling things. The fact of the matter is that I don't like forgetting things and I have a really terrible memory sometimes. If it's not on the calendar, it doesn't get done and won't get remembered.I also happen … Continue reading On organizational tactics….
On speaking my mind….
I'm an English major. I love everything there is about the English language. Okay, everything except diagramming, which I have found to be a complete waste of my time. It accomplishes approximately nothing and should I ever take to teaching English, this will be a fairly glossed-over section of my lesson plans. I'd rather somebody … Continue reading On speaking my mind….
On weekend romance….
Today serves up a heaping portion of Cheerios.Last weekend was Valentines Day, as we all know. I used to be vehemently opposed to Valentines Day, choosing typically to wear black and be generally melancholy about the whole thing. I really hated Valentines Day and, to be honest, can't think of a single good reason as … Continue reading On weekend romance….
On expressing yourself….
I've been spending the last several years of my life studying sociology and all that goes with it. More recently, Karl Marx has been of great interest. I've identified myself as a functional socialist for a while now and am finding myself very much relating to several of Marx's ideas. As a side note: Try … Continue reading On expressing yourself….
On giving away the ending….
I love surprises. I probably have an unhealthy obsession with them. I love being surprised, more than just about anything. I love not knowing what my husband might get me for any given gift-giving holiday. I get crazy when there are unannounced flowers delivered to my office. I even enjoy coming home to a deep-cleaned … Continue reading On giving away the ending….
On smelling the roses…..
I have to schedule my own down time. I never just take it. I have to plan for doing nothing. My life is an endless stream of schedules. Many people could tell you that the following statement is true: I live my life in 15-minute increments. I've been like that for the last 7 years … Continue reading On smelling the roses…..
