How often do you step back and take a look at yourself? Listen to and see yourself from a stranger’s perspective?
I have so much that I want to do. And I want to do it all now!
Happy Friday the 13th.
Sometimes I think I don’t express my emotions enough; that I’m too cold. And yet other times I wonder if I bare too much
too soon.
If you are a cop and you are on desk duty rather than on the beat deal with it. Sitting high up behind a glass wall and having a microphone doesn’t mean it’s okay to be jerky.
I saw a 2-tone F-350 on the freeway this week. Not an unusual site. The top half was bright white and the bottom half looked to be painted to resemble wood grain…from afar. Upon closer inspection it was hundreds (thousands?) of skulls painted in shades of brown. They were quite realistic. It looked like he had the catacombs on his truck. Unusual to say the least. So my question…What kind of person does that? I could provide a bit more insight on who if the windows hadn’t been limo tinted.
I do believe Christmas is too commercial. But on the flip side I love seeing Christmas decor in all the stores.
I’m loving my hair.
I hate that as soon as I feel settled and have come to terms with something, an issue arises and I get that flustered-butterflies-in-my-stomach-I’m-going-to-be-sick feeling. I hate it but I know that it’s something I have to deal with. My lesson.
I am a fan of Mary Poppins and I’m excited the musical is coming here in February.
This year is slowly coming to a close and it has been a blur. It has been eventful, but a part of me feels like I haven’t really been here. Like I’ve been observing or going through a dress rehearsal. Presence is my goal from now on.
When I do some hard thinking about life and experiences I realize that so many things aren’t impossible.
Laughter is such physical relief.
I believe it takes a village to raise a child. I also believe it takes a village to nurture us adults. We all need a little help from our friends.
We enjoy plane watching and flower admiring on Friday afternoons.
“Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.” It’s funny how often we hear this but don’t pay attention to it. Ask for what you want! You just might luck out and get it. If luck even has anything to do with it.
It has been in the high 80s all week. Pleasant? Yes. Fall-like? No. I’m hoping some cool rain is in my future.
While browsing through the mall this week I realized I didn’t want anything. Let me rephrase…I wanted a whole lot less than I have in the past. My tastes are changing. My desires are changing. It’s a good feeling.
I hope you all have a good feeling inside you too. Happy weekend!

I would happily send you the cool, rainy weather we have for 80 degree temps!

You wrote, "I hate that as soon as I feel settled and have come to terms with something, an issue arises and I get that flustered-butterflies-in-my-stomach-I'm-going-to-be-sick feeling." I have been going these exact same feelings since last week. I hate upheaval! (80 degrees?! Nope, I couldn't live in AZ).

Great post! Lots to think about Miss Lizzi….
I actually make myself step back and think about how other people perceive me quite often. Sometimes I change myself and other times I don't care to but at least i do take the time to recognize it.
I love Friday the 13th… always been a lucky day for me. Maybe not this one but others have been.
I think you bare just enough at the right times for it.
That F-150 is so bizarre sounding it borders on really creepy.
I also like seeing the Christmas stuff up in the stores…I do think its too soon for it…but I like it. Makes me miss my momma.
You still letting your hair grow?
HUGE fan of Mary Poppins too! The musical just left Dallas… I hope it comes back so I can see it.
I too feel like an observer right now. At the same time i feel like I'm finally a part of MY life. Does that make sense?? LOL
I just heard "be careful what you ask for…." yesterday. It floats around my life a lot and its SOO very true. I always ask for good things now. I didn't like how I had to get the things I wanted already….
high 70's here for us and I LOVE IT!!!!!
I think that your tastes and desires and all that changing are a part of your 30's. I experienced that too and really liked it.

that F-350 sounds so bizarre!
i'm gonna be that person who decorates for Christmas the week before Thanksgiving. but ONLY because i want my parents to see my tree when they come over for Thanksgiving (since they won't see it for Christmas).
I need to start asking for what I want. Very good point!
