Are You in Denial?

A few weeks ago I bumped into an old schoolmate I hadn't seen in ages. Stopped to say hello and how long it's been when she told me, "I know all about you!!" That caught me off guard.

Her: "You have a blog, don't you?"
Me: "No!"

I have no idea why I said no! It was an automatic and instant response.

She then explained how she came to that conclusion, all of which made perfect sense! But by then, I felt stupid. I couldn't go back and say, "Yeah, it's me. I lied." I had to continue denying it, all the while thinking "why?!" It's not like I write about anything personal or about anything I would mind others knowing about.

So, this goes out to you, if you're reading. Yes, it's me! And yes, everything you said and your conclusions were right on! :)

Missed Me?

Don't ask where I've been for the past two months.. cuz I wouldn't know where to begin to be honest. Am I back again? Probably not. Just wanted to pop by to say hi and that I'll try my best to start writing again. No promises though :)

I'm currently in Kuwait & enjoying my time catching up with some friends. To those girls I've seen, it's been WONDERFUL seeing you! You're simply amazing.

A "GIANT" Victory

One Day

I got this forward from a friend today.. I thought it was hilarious.. so here goes:

----------------------------
One day, long, long ago,
there was this woman who surprisingly,
did not whine, nag, or bitch....



But this was a long time ago.....
and it was just that ONE day.

The End..

Heath Ledger!

28 year old actor, Heath Ledger, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday afternoon. There has been no determination of the cause of his death, however, perscription and sleeping pills were found on the scene.

It's nothing new for young actors/actresses to be found dead, but this one totally surprised me!

The Battle!

It's that time of year again: SUPERBOWL!

My Indianapolis Colts unfortunately didn't make it to the AFC Championship Title Game. Peyton Manning once again choked against the Chargers! But, the Manning household still has something to celebrate. While Peyton brought home the trophy last year, it's his younger brother Eli who's heading to the Superbowl this year!

Eli Manning's NY Giants upset the Green Bay Packers last night, winning the NFC Title and earning their ticket to the Bowl. While I normally root for the AFC team, this year is different.

Brady just seems to have it all. He's won 3 Superbowls, 2 Superbowl MVP awards, broke several records, AND has had a perfect season so far! To top it off, he used to date Bridget Moynahan and is with Gisele now! Come on, no guy should have that much luck!

GO GIANTS!

Serenity

It's amazing how one person can make such a big difference in your life. You wake up one day to find that all the pieces somehow fit together. Suddenly, it doesn't matter what life has to offer because you have something that no one can take away from you.

Thank you for being all that you are.

Old is Gold

There's a negative stigma surrounding age and I honestly think it's overrated. I can understand in the past that age was a taboo because the style of life was very different. These days though, age is no longer an obstacle to anything (except some biological restrictions)!

So, I am here today to celebrate age and the finer things that come along with it. I won't speak on behalf of men, so from a woman's point of view:

* Less Tolerant: While that may seem like a negative thing, it's not. It's a blessing in disguise. No tolerance for stupidity, fake-ness, or pointless anything. Let's get down to business people.

* More Stable: We don't need anyone to reassure us of what we mean to them and how great we are. We are secure; we know our true worth and are comfortable with our flaws.

* Sense of Direction: We know where we are in life, what we want, and most importantly, what we don't want! We may not always know how to get there, but at least we have a direction in mind.

* Independent: We don't 'need' to be given things. We know how to get them ourselves. Of course, that said, it is still always nice to get stuff, so don't assume that we'll say no.

* No-Whining: We don't need to whine. We'll tell you how it is, straight up. We have no issues about being honest. It's up to you to decide what you want to do or not do about it.

The list goes on, but it's cold and this is as far as my brain can go at this point in time.

Hibernation

I don't mind winter but my body just doesn't react well to it! I become so lazy and lethargic it's not even funny. To top things off, even though my eating habits haven't changed, I somehow automatically gain weight during the cold season!

I think I need to go into hibernation for a while. Check on me every now and then.

Hello 2008

I had decided not to write a new year post. Then I went back to read what I'd written last year. It's interesting to travel back in time and see through your own words what emotional state you were in!

Since I had talked about recycling in that post, I will re-use a few things that I had said back then, as they still apply today:

"May you be blessed with the wisdom that life is not about eternity. It’s about those moments that make it all worth while.

Everything will one day come to an end. May we all be prepared for that."
