It's been forever...

Then again, I have devoted the last couple of months to my upcoming BOOB JOB!
I recently underwent a breast reduction. To be exact I went from a 34E to a 34C, HOLY CRAP it's incredibly liberating. NOT to mention when I lie down, they don't move:) Kinda nifty!

I sept the last 2 months preparing, cleaning out my body, no booze, not evening activities NADA! NOW that it's all over, I am easy my way back in nicely...if you know what I mean!

How are things with all of you? Well I hope...Much love!

NEW YEAR REALLY CAN REALLY MEAN A NEW YOU!

I don't know what I hate more New Years Eve, OR fact that everyone is ALL about the NEW "them" for the New Year!

Amazing that we need a new year to set goals to feel like we can actually hit them. I am not a fan of New Years, V-day, anything so commercially related that I would rather stay home. AND I am certainly not into setting goals that you have to meet because it's a new year. I am dying my hair for the 1st time today, via over the counter...YES over the counter. I found a couple of grey hairs so it seems it's time for me to dive over to the other side and die my freaking hair! Makes me feel old for 1, and kind of annoyed that I have to spend the time dealing with it when I don't really want too. HOWEVER, I am also kinda psyched b/c the last time I ddi it was in college...for shits and giggles, and I happened to like it just never kept up with it!

Any hoo....wishing everyone a very happy new year, health and happiness to all!
Until we meet again...

EFF THE HOLIDAYS

Holidays are never good for anyone. It's ironic that everyone is about spreading love and cheer...but it's the time that everyone argues the most? It's so nice walking into starbucks and seeing the "red" cups, or the snowflake above Bergdorf Goodman's on 5th. BUT it is so a time of stress too. MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS! You know the drill.

I like to think that everyone feels more united, but it seems everyone just feels more obligations? I would like to think it's a time for family and friends to get together, but that just equals a bigger weight gain; and a a question of who can be the bigger problem drinker:)

In any event, we enter this time of year EVERY year...and always will. So we can think about it like this, we can eat more, drink more (and not feel guilty) get things, as well as give things and take some time off. All the more reason to begin the celebration a bit earlier this year!

STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT....

I SO wish that I had more time to talk, talk about anything and everything...in fact talk about things that really are not even that important; but somehow informative? If that makes any sense at all!! BUT I don't. Barely have time to go to the bathroom without one of them yelling for me. "Them" meaning my kids and/or my man.

See...even now, that's all she wrote!

DO YOU HAVE TO RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED?

I am sure I may get some heat for this...but truly, do you have to respect someone to be respected back. I kinda think no!?!?!!?
I feel like nowadays...there are junior employees (certainly not at my company), who don't understand their position in the company there are working for, OR their place in the world when it comes to their experience level. I think there were times in my life I did not want to to act a certain way, or I wanted to treat someone a certain way..but at the end of the day, they were older than me, more experience in life than me, so the bottom line was...I respected that!

I think a lot of it was communicated to me via my parents; they drilled it into my head that I needed to respect people for XY and Z reasons...and in the end they were 100% right! It's not always easy, b/c sometimes you feel like you should be treated the way they should be treated, when in fact that's just not the case; AND of course this always relates back to people who are typically younger than your or less experienced which is even the stranger thing!

Anyway, just food for thought!

"ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG..."

There is such truth to that statement.."Only the good die young." It's amazing to think of all the incredible people who make a mark on this world, and die before they can truly realize the impact they have had on people; and our society. I am hoping that steven Jobs really knew the "ding" he made in the world, I am thinking that he did.

When you are a true visionary in your field, you can see the potential and reason of things before anyone else can. You can talk about things you want to happen, and it only takes one person to believe you can make those things happen. I am always curious to see what people will say about me when it's my time. I mean in time of death even people we may have not thought were great get a pass. What I am hoping is that I perfect my skills in my industry, but leave a bigger legacy helping people in some way. I guess that might be the book I wrote and the ones I want to potentially write, after this one. I can't cure cancer by putting pretty things on pretty people, but I can make things more understandable for the average person when it comes to my real life.

I remember a teacher in HS saying to me, you can't always write like you talk...it won't make sense in an essay. He was right, very right...but the funny thing is, I did not want to write a typical essay I wanted to write like I speak. I am thankful that the world is a different place today and that I can do that, write like I talk. I can write openly, honestly and with much integrity.

Forget your carbon footprint, make sure you do what you love in life because you cannot live forever.

Much love!
