Let's Exercise!

Hey! It's been a minute since I chatted with you guys, so I thought we could jump back in with a little exercise! Yay!!
Now come on - don't be like that. A little exercise never hurt anyone..okay perhaps these people might have gotten hurt:
 
 But that's NOT the type of exercise I mean. Close your eyes - WAIT! You can't read if your eyes are closed. Hmm ok so keep your eyes open and picture the one person who makes you smile. That one person who you just can't wait to see, be around, call, text, whatever...(Bet you're grinning already). See, that person didn't even have to be around - you didn't call them, you didn't text them - all you did was think about them and now you're grinning.

How do they do it? How do they make you smile like a Cheshire cat? Maybe it's a shared memory between the two of you or maybe it's the way their eyes light up, full on sparkle when they see you. Or the way your stomach flutters and flips when you think of them...that one time they walked towards you and you suddenly got excited and nervous (Oh YES! I know that feeling oh so well, LOL) And because they have this effect on you, you are suddenly reminded of them at random times, by random things. Like what? Well, how about if you're in the mall and someone walks past you wearing the very same cologne/perfume that they wear? Or you hear a cellphone ringtone that sounds exactly like theirs or the one you have saved for them when they call you? 

Ok so now you have a good image of them in your mind, right? You can see their face? Almost smell their cologne/perfume? Yeah? Great! Now imagine that person is now giving all those smiles to someone else...OUCH, right?! You know why this happened? Because you took them and their smile inducing abilities for granted. You didn't appreciate those smiles and if you did, you failed to let them know - through words and or actions - how special they were to you. 

Now go and make sure they know they are special to you. Call them. Text them. Tell them. Show them. Thank them. Yes, that's right, thank them. For what? For the opportunity to be with them. For the you that you are because of them. Do it today before you have to face a forever of tomorrows without them.

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...
