Exercise
I don’t understand people who don’t exercise…
Exercise makes me feel strong, powerful, healthy, in control… The list goes on & on and solely comprised of positive words. It’s a coping mechanism, a stress reliever, and even more simply, just a way to get fresh, healthy air into your lungs.
Why would anyone pass that up?
Don’t get me wrong - I love a...
Haircut
I need to call for a haircut this week.
I’ve been putting it off, trying to decide if I should get a radical new cut.
I think it might be time…
Happy Birthday To Me
Yup, it’s true. My birthday is coming soon. People have been so sweet; Sending me cards, gifts and an abundance of well wishes. Some have even taken to teasing me about my old age. But, I think it’s great. Yes, I am getting older, which is a pretty good thing, considering the alternative. I am also getting wiser. Slowly but surely…
As I prepare for the big weekend...

Got some mama jokes?
Here’s a classic to inspire you —
Yo mama is so ugly, you have to tie a steak around her neck so the dog will play with her!
Mmm...
I just made the most amazing chickpea salad. It’s beyond delicious…
Why am I posting about it?
I have no earthly idea.

Reflexology
My poor M was having so much lower back pain/sciatica, he couldn’t even stand up straight for days. He literally looked like the letter C. It was sad to see - especially since I’ve been there myself and I know how frustrating it is.
He couldn’t get an appointment for a chiropractor/osteopath/acupuncturist until next week, so I tried massage and acupressure in a desperate effort...
Irony
Most men claim to despise a nagging woman.
My best friend is a dude. Well, he’s actually more like a brother. Or my arm. Suffice it to say, we are close. Anyway, I digress…
He’s a very smart capable guy. He is SMART smart, which is something I rarely say about anyone. He’s even smarter than me. Again, I rarely think that about anyone. (Judge that as you will…)

Peanut butter
A friend of ours just returned from a trip to Canada. He brough back maple syrup and peanut butter for me. Both of those things are an exotic rarity here.
In fact, I just had a couple friends stop by the house. They sat at the kitchen table and tried peanut butter for the first time in their lives…
How crazy is that?
PS: I live in France, for those who don’t already know…
Powerful
Power lies in vulnerability.
Being who you are, openly and without apology or explanation, is the very embodiment of empowerment.
Forget about being judged. Focus on being accepting of yourself.
That’s when the magic happens…
Truthful Tuesday
It has finally happened — I’ve become numb to all the Twitter drama patterns.
People saying they won’t tweet for awhile. Loudly & repeatedly. That boy has cried wolf way too many times…
People twitterciding, and of course, returning. Did you miss me? Does anyone care?
People stealing tweets because, even though they have nothing interesting to say, they prefer...
Savages
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
—Thomas Edison (1847–1931)
Fucking hell...
My long time boyfriend has the same birthday as my long time ex husband….
I really wish people would stop telling me how spooky that is and start pouring drinks.
Bite.
I am a sweet girl. Truly. (Just ask me, I’ll tell you…) I am a fiercely loyal friend and am generous in nature. I believe what my grandmother taught me: Kindness is always within your power, even when fondness is not. I live by that. Call me old fashioned but I believe in the Golden Rule.
None of that means I’m a doormat though. Far from it. It would be a mistake to take my kindness as...
Grrrrrrr...
M is taking his sweet ass time bringing my package home.
And by package, I mean a box that came in the mail.
Duh…
It's all in the eyes
If I don’t like someone, I find it IMPOSSIBLE to look at them.
Even for a moment.
In certain situations, I can feel how rude it is and force myself to look.
But still, it lasts for less than a second.
I just can’t do it.
It can be awkward and is certainly annoying (This is a rare situation when mind of matter doesn’t work for me.)
But, it is what it is.
I generally...
It's about damn time!!
I’m getting a box from home today, that the French postal service have been holding for a month.
Why did they hold it, you ask?
I have no idea, I answer.
Maybe they heard it meowing…
*sigh*
I’m sick & in pain.
It sucks.
Tumblr sins
I follow people who make me smile and feel good.
There are people I like personally but who are just too depressing to read daily. I realize that some people can’t see past the negativity in their lives, and I am sincerely glad they can vent here, but it’s something I choose not to read.
Is that a sin? I don’t know…
The Age of Stupid
I just watched The Age of Stupid.
I wonder, yet again, what it will take to make us take responsibility for the way we are living & the permanent damage we are creating on our planet.
*sigh*
We know how to profit but not how to protect.

paxochka:
Not everything is a competition. And that includes twitter. And favstar.
I don’t think twitter is about doing better than someone else. But about doing better than yourself. About improving yourself. About writing better.
I don’t look at anyone else’s success. Not their follower counts. Nor…
Dear ETheGoddess...
thechrisangel:
Did you see that Whitney died?
Fair warning
Whoever writes the next Whitney/Costner tweet that appears in my timeline, is going to get a kick in the ass.
IT WASN’T FUNNY THE FIRST 100000000 TIMES!!!
*sigh*
It looks like this Valentine’s Day will be spent in Paris…
At a funeral.
FML
I woke up with some crazy, red, swollen eyes today.
And a fever.
And a headache.
And a profound dislike for the freezing wind that howls at my window.
All in all, I should be a real joy to be around. Don’t you wish you were here?
#*$&!
I have so many things going on in my mind, I can’t even write…

Headlines
Here are some of the hard hitting GEMS awaiting me in today’s news:
Low self-esteem linked to poor Facebook behavior
Spanking linked to more aggression in kids
Amateur tattoos carry hepatitis C risk
Medication helps some with mild depression
That’s news? Really?
It's time...
It’s time that I change my diet in a hardcore way. I’ve read too much about the benefits of a plant based diet to ignore it.
Sorry meat, but it’s time for us to say goodbye…
