40 days and 40 nights later…

As I vowed in a previous post, http://livelovelearnbreathe.com/2012/02/23/40-days-and-40-nights/, my Lenten promise was to give up all contact with the man known as Cleveland.  To be fair, I did break that pact, but only once.  (Sorry, Jesus.)  And in my defense, the communication that I did have was a very short and innocent text that, at the time, I …

if i could change one thing about this world, i’d tell all the little girls never to believe a guy when he says he’s going to call. (he won’t, so don’t wait around believing he will.)

This really shouldn't be bothering me.  (But it is.)  This is exactly what I always knew I had to do.  (But maybe I had a little bit of hope that I'd never have to?)  As foolish as I was feeling last week, I'm feeling twice that today.  I'm also disappointed (in him) and perhaps a …

the only sober girl in chicago

One reason why I'll always love Columbus, Ohio is that they celebrate St. Patrick's Day ON St. Patrick's Day.  None of this weekend before bullshit.  It's March 17th, no matter what day of the week it falls on.  Now I understand that a parade is best to be held on a weekend, but noticing all …

getting closure

Sadly, I woke up still thinking about last night's episode of The Bachelor.  It still pains me to envision Jake & Vienna together.  Yuck.   While Jake is not my type at all, I did respect and root him on, and still would if would have chosen Tenley, or ended up with Ali or even Gia.  But …

bachelor boycott begins

I'm watching The Bachelor season finale while writing this posting, and I need to say that I made a pact with my friend Jen that if Jake chooses Vienna then I am never again watching The Bachelor.  At this point, Jake has introduced both women to his family.  I admit that Tenley is my favorite …

pigtail braids

I think it's fair to say that girls wear pigtail braids a few things are probably going on: She woke up late and didn't have time to fix her hair. She's having a bad hair day. She recently got a haircut that she's not too happy about. She saw some girl with her hair worn …

when it comes to love, do we really have a choice?

I finally made it through The Time Traveler's Wife this afternoon, taking a few brains to unclogged my foggy, thought-induced brain.  Again, I have to say that the novel is so much better, and watching this for the second time clarifies my belief more so.  I'm just glad that Rachel McAdams was casted as Claire.  Eric …

girls who love starbucks and boys, who love boys

For those of you know do not really know me, I'll share that I am a loyal Starbucks customer.   In fact, Adriana said to me the other day, "I don't think I've ever seen you without a coffee cup in hand."  Pure exaggeration there, but not too far-fetched. So today is Friday...which makes me think of …
