WHEN TO SAY WHEN...

When do you know when it's time to end a friendship, relationship, anything of that nature? When do you know it's time to part ways with the best of intentions, realizing you no longer have anything in common? Sometimes ending friendships are just as hard as ending a relationship...How exactly do you bow out gracefully? I have had several past friendships fizzle out, some just we just grew apart others more controversial. There are 2 sides to every story and then there's the truth but how do you determine the mistakes you may have made with those past friends you won't make with your present friends? I would have to assume that you would work harder on the friendships that you do have and those you do love, than you did with those you have lost. It's a 2 way street, you give and you take and you are there for one another. You need to give a little and they need to give a little, or it just won't work. I feel like so many people who are no longer in my life, were omitted for a reason. There are very few I still care, love and think about who are no longer in my "every day", and then more of those who I just kinda can't stand and probably can't stand me! I love when you run into someone you genuinely LOVE, and then loathe the times you run into those you don't. Such is life they say...As you get older you realize there are people you don't want to remain friends with and those you do. You are wiser, more independent, less concerned about outside influences and more concerned with what makes you happy. Food for thought...love to all!! XOXO BTC

AND it's that day again!

It's that day again..."Terrible Tuesday!" I don't know what it is about this day, but it is always incredibly annoying; or and horrible. Everyone has a tude, and the worse part about it is in most cases...you are doing something FOR their best interest and they put up a damn fight!! What is it about this day that sucks so badly? Maybe b/c it is not the end of the week but not the first day of the week? Something like you can't be as big of an asshole on Monday b/c you are starting the new week? I don't know what it is but I hate this damn day! Looking forward to "hump" day, has a much more pleasant ring to it! XOXO BTC

SANDY IS SUCH A W___RE

Sandy was such a beast, IS such a beast!! My heart goes out to those affected by the storm...I am happy to say that all my direct friends and family are safe; many without power but no MAJOR damage. What a horrific storm swept through the tri-state area for the last couple of days. We have been home, with the kids...thinking of as many activities as possible:) Nothing more to say than, donate money, help in any areas that you can...and pray for those who were less fortunate in the storm. xoxo BTC

OH DEAR LORD....

I can't even IMAGINE what it would be like to walk into a situation, much like the one that occurred here in NYC...on the UWS. I trust my nanny to love my kids as much (at times BE me), as we do. I have never thought for a moment that I would have anything to worry about when it comes to the care of my children; but it seems you just can't trust anyone, anymore. The horrific crime of 2 children murdered by their nanny yesterday has me rocked to the core! I have these INCREDIBLE fits of rage in my head, and want to jump in and kill her myself! I CANNOT imagine how the mom and dad even feel, I am devastated for them; BEYOND beyond. THat's all I can even muster today, I am utterly sick about it. Hug and kiss those close to you..you just never know. BTC

IF THE SHOE FITS...

I don't understand why people sign up for shit, they can't follow through on. I still have so much to learn about owning a business and such, but I don't think Beth and I would ever put ourselves in a position to do something...we were't A 100% behind, or B. something we thought would be monetarily possible. It's amazing to me that people can suck the life out of someone and then in the end...walk away. I have learned a lot in all my years in this industry but one thing never ceases to amazing me...the ability of people to use the shit out of other people, and drop them like a hotcake. OYE TO THE M__R F___G VEY! BTC

JUST another manic monday!

I have to say...Mondays don't bother me, ANY more. I think when you do your own thing you are excited to go to work, I hang with my business partner whom I love, etc. I then take for granted the fact that I love what I do AND I do it for myself (so to speak). I don't get those Mondays blues or anything like that, and I know most people do. Maybe if it were easy to tell your boss your feelings, reservations, etc. then less people would have it?? Then again there are a ton of shitty bosses out there that probably would not even care. I guess taking a moment to reflect and saying I am not EXACTLY where I want to be, but am closer than I was before is important. AND feeling blessed that I don't have to feel that way every day is really, truly amazing. XOXO BTC

AAAH This feels goooood...

Did a little update on the blog, today. Not that many people are going to even notice my changes BUT, none the less it feels GOOD! So things have changed a bit, moving onto bigger and better things that don't only involve the world of pregnancy! Seems I have a lot more to say, on just about every topic known to man...that others may not actually speak of, out loud. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's Friday, raining in NYC no one seems happy about it AT all...and I generally can't stand anyone today. No real difference from any other day, except for the fact that it is Friday and usually people don't bother me quite as much. I spent the last few days taking care of my sick kid, dealing with bullshit at work (you know crazy demands, etc.) and my man away. Needless to say the weekend could not come fast enough, but then again it is hardly a weekend when you do not get to sleep, you can't come and go as you please and then you wake up and it's Sunday night all over again. One thing is for sure, I will be crawling into my bed around 7:30 PM for the damn night! xoxo BTC
