janet & charlie
June 25, 2007 by j.
Friends Charlie and Janet committed their lives to each other this weekend at a beautiful ceremony in Charlottesville. Janet was a lovely bride, bringing everyone to tears with her heartfelt vows. So happy for them *sniff* 
Special touches at the wedding that uniquely reflect this bride and groom’s personalities include a reception on vineyard grounds (delicious sauvignon blanc!!), eclectic music DJ’d and mixed via a dude on a macbook, a VH1-style “Making Of” video documenting the preparation for the first dance, a polaroid guestbook, and wedding pies in lieu of the traditional wedding cake. Every bit as unique as those that know and love them would have expected!
I-am-so-SMRT moments from the weekend… I’m clearly running short on sleep!
Driving by a gas station convenience store marked Wi-Not Stop:
Me: WE NOT STOP!!
Shiney: Um, I think that’s why not stop..
Me: …. oh.
At a tapas dinner with friends:
Marissa: So what’s good here?
Me: The codpieces were delicious. I mean, the cod balls. …I mean… um..
Marissa: Fritters?
Me: THANK you!
cod·piece (N.) \ˈkäd-ˌpēs\
Etymology: Middle English codpese, from cod bag, scrotum (from Old English codd) + pese piece
Definition: a bag that rests on a man’s genitals, concealing an opening in the front of men’s breeches especially in the 15th and 16th centuries

flying solo
June 19, 2007 by j.
My roommate Kristin moved out a few weeks ago (sniff) and I’ve half-heartedly been looking for a new roommate…. I’ve made a pretty big decision. I decided I’m not going to take on a new roommate, and I’m going to live alone. It’ll be nice to have a spare bedroom/bathroom, and it’ll be extra nice to have the kitchen to myself. And to be able to walk around nekkid whenever I feel like it…. um, if I wanted to..
It’s scary, and it’s going to hit me pretty hard in the pocketbook. I don’t think I’ll be able to buy the new car that I’ve been saving up for. But it’s worth it to me - I’m nearly 30 years old and I’ve had roommates my entire life. It’s time for this girl to fly solo. Woooo!
*scared*

advice
June 18, 2007 by j.
Some good advice I lifted from some book somewhere… I liked it enough to copy it down by hand, but didn’t have the presence of mind to write down the name of the book, darnit. At any rate, it’s good advice for everyone.
Changing your life: Attitude & Resolve
At the end of the day, the modern man understands that he is responsible for his own life. Regardless of his upbringing, his past, or the obstacles in his path, it is up to him to make the changes that will improve the quality of his life. He can blame others or feel sorry for himself, or he can resolve to take charge and assert control over his life. It’s his decision. That’s your decision, too.
Even if you decide to do absolutely nothing and refuse to change, you are making a choice to stay where you are. On the other hand, you can choose the life you want to lead, and understand that the way you conduct yourself on a daily basis affects everything that happens to you. Attitude affects outcome, so check the negativity at the door.

Some introspection at 3am…
I went to the library today and on a whim, picked up a very pink book with a drawing of a woman doing yoga on the cover. Turns out it was a gem of a find, filled with thoughts and tips on how to live an inspired life where peace and passion coexist.
- Paul Coelho -
There is a direct connection between self-nurturing and self-respect.
- Julia Cameron -
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how funny life is in how it unfolds and whips us into various positions of humility. Have you ever wanted something so badly that you thought you’d die if you didn’t get it… and then a time later, you get it and realize it carries side dishes you hadn’t been expecting? That if you had known, you would have thought a little harder about throwing your entire soul into obtaining it? I have.
I feel like this year I’m a little bit wiser than last year. And last year I was a little bit wiser than the year before that. This stillness inside of me came hard-earned - it’s like a child who doesn’t understand fearing the fall, until it happens and she realizes how much it can hurt. I feel you cannot truly appreciate the good, or even the mundane, until you’ve felt the crushing lows.. to think that you can is to exhibit blissful and blessed naivety. I’m so glad for the path I’ve come though, I have never felt so in tune with life as I feel right now. They say embrace the unexpected - I used to think this was a crunchy liberal fortune-cookie platitude, but now I see some wisdom in it. And I’m ready to roll with the punches. Are you?
Since I was five years old, I wished on a star every single night. Never for anything frivolous, and usually the same thing night after night. In fact, I can count on one hand the things I have asked the stars for in my lifetime. I think it’s time to lay that practice to rest - what we wish for usually isn’t what we think it is 
Bye bye, stars!!

happy birthday darling!
June 13, 2007 by j.
Spent a wonderful weekend in Orlando (despite being SICK! 
) and then had a lovely dinner with friends to celebrate Mario’s birthday. Happy birthday, darling! May you live a hundred years, and then a hundred more! Use sunblock!
To my smoking friends. I love you and I hope you can stop. Please click here.
In more upbeat news, the Olsen twins turn 21 today! Everybody drink!
And in less upbeat news - gentlemen of the world, steer clear of this one.

yay friday!
June 1, 2007 by j.
Ah, I’ve spent three whole days mourning the end of the long weekend, and now it’s friday again! Hooray!!
Last night I came to came to a decision that I’m going to start eating better. I’ll spend more on organic foods, fresh vegetables, whatever it takes… I’m not going to worry about fat/carb content - it’s not about losing weight. It’s about being pure and whole. I’m disgusted to think that they can pat some chemicals together to resemble a delicious piece of chicken in order to prolong the shelf life, and our mind tricks us into thinking it is so. And, when they take fat out of a piece of food, what do they put in its place so our brain won’t reject it as a fatless piece of crap? My body is my temple - I may be ten years late, but it’s time to start treating it as such.
Sadly, this ban includes diet coke, one of my faaaavorite things in life.
