Take A Look

I was walking past a mirror today and I glanced at myself. Then I took a second look. On this second look I told myself "I'm pretty" and I admired myself for a quick minute. And you know what? We all need to do it once in a while. If we don't admire ourselves, no one else is going to do it. Look in the mirror and realize how fabulous you are.

Just don't do it too much. Narcissism is never a good look on anyone.

N.E.R.D.

The next concert I am attending..WooHoo!

**Well scratch that..tickets sold out before any (procrastinating) friends bought their tickets.**

Chance.

Sometimes, people will tell you exactly what you've been wanting to hear. Most of the time, they have bad timing. So tell me, do you take a chance at being the one who says the right thing at the right time? Or do you bite your tongue and not say anything?

T.G.I.F

Once upon a time I used to look forward to Friday nights because it was guaranteed I was going out to shake my booty. Then it became guaranteed that I was at least going out to a movie or dinner. Definitely not the case anymore. Now, I look forward to my Friday nights if for nothing else but falling asleep early and being able to wake up much later than usual the next day. Oh, and I am perfectly fine with this by the way. Even though tomorrow I still have to be up early, at least it's for something more exciting than work.

Have a good weekend!

The Magic Of A Rainy Day

Rainy days have a way of draining my energy. Don't get me wrong, I actually like summer rain, especially drizzle, because it's warm out and if I choose I can go outside in flip flops - which is always better than getting my shoes soaked. The problem is though, the darkness and gloominess of rainy days. It makes me feel like I should be home staring out my window, or curled up in bed reading a book. Most of us don't really want to be out in the rain, but we have to go to work, to school, or to run errands so we make our way out there.

Then there are those people who actually love the rain, and feel more invigorated when the clouds are out. I have an ex-boyfriend from many moons ago who loves rain..and dare I say it, he also likes the colder weather. I always thought he was crazy. I love hot weather. I like to go outside in a tank top and shorts and feel the warmth on my skin. Which is why I don't dislike the summer rain as much. Usually when it rains in the summer it's still warm out, and you only get cold when your skin gets wet and the wind picks up. Though I don't think I could ever like the cold, I do think there is a bit of whimsy in a rainy day. I think it's romantic to take an adventure outside with your boyfriend/girlfriend while huddled up under one umbrella together. Or you can stay inside and spend the day watching movies and cuddling. You can also try to recreate the best scene (in my opinion) from "The Notebook" where they are on the lake and it starts raining..

Just remember to appreciate the rainy days, because as a co-worker pointed out to me - rainy days are the days it is okay to be lazy and no one can blame you for it.
