This morning I participated in the Color Me Red event at David Scott Salon in North Olmsted on behalf of the American Heart Association & Go Red for Women organization.
So… I’m now (more of) a redhead:
One, I LOVE the shade of red created for me. Two, I needed a haircut like nobody’s business — [...]
When big shit happens, I can maintain a fairly level head of the situation at hand and act accordingly. So, why does the “small stuff” still wreck havoc on my insides and provide endless amounts of stress? And why is flying STILL one of the most traumatic experiences for me ever?
Never start a conversation with [...]
AB and I stopped into the amazing Flower Child today for a bit of gift giving inspiration (and of course, wanting to buy every houseware item in the store; AB wants a bongo, but knows why he cannot have one). I could browse the vintage ornament collection for hours — and I will depending on [...]
I’ve been asked for ideas* for holiday presents this season for females**, so sing along with me***:
On the first day of Christmas my boyfriend bought for me Murad Hydrating Toner… *cough* or Mineralize MAC shadow! Boys, raid your ladies’ medicine cabinets and see which of her favorite products are running low. Bonus: sparkly shadows [...]
If your head is still stuffed up a turkey carcass, you may have missed that SEMI-nude photos of Grady Sizemore have made way to the Internets by means of cell phone pics “allegedly” emailed to his Playboy gal pal. An email account which was hacked “allegedly” by some stalker. Or a Canadian gossip Web [...]
AB woke me up in bed with coffee (Dooley’s included) and peanut butter-walnut banana pancakes, then we took advantage of Black Friday. We drove out to Cleveland Heights for a little selfish holiday shopping, and took advantage of a doorbuster at Brigade (on Coventry). EVERYTHING in the store was 40% off from 10-12. It was [...]
How can you not be happy around them?
He’s wonderful.
PS: Yes, I see that my frame is crooked. I fixed it after the picture.
PSS: And yes again, that is the Cleveland Magazine issue that featured me way back in 2005.
PPSS: I cannot find my 35th Anniversary issue anywhere (think 10SB kept it). There are no back [...]
Interesting fun fact of the day: Today would have been my three-year wedding anniversary.
In a somewhat odd manner of celebration, I am going to have my brakes replaced today.
Talk about replacement!
There have been a LOT of changes (more than just a few new “car” parts) since the planning of that wedding (the [...]
This was too important to leave down in the comments.
Commented by anonymous “Lonely” here on LL&PoyB:
The whole debate over pros and cons of long-distance relationships assumes that you have the ability to choose one over the other. That one day you wake up and decide, “I want to date someone” and then only need to [...]
No, that was not a spelling mistake. Drunk e-mailing is on the short list of stupid things I do when I’m drunk. Mathematical determents would definitely make it miserable enough to not hit “send” after too much alcohol. Kind of like when I can’t pick up a wifi signal when I’m at home, after a [...]
Men! There is a new way to pick up a chick. Wait until she leaves her car parked in the garage and passive-aggressively leave a note on her windshield, like so:
Seriously. I’m surprised there’s not a winky emoticon on the note. As if I would misunderstand his request for a mustache ride or something. But [...]
It has been a month since my most recent relationship ended. It feels longer. Weird.
For the most part, I have been thoroughly enjoying the company of my close friends, with whom I had unintentionally distanced myself. Even before my break-up, I realized that I needed to reconnect with these very important people in my life. [...]
Regardless if you get laid or not at the end of an evening, most single somethings have high costs and impressions to make in the course of dating. Behold, the most expensive way to pussy on the planet — the $1,150 date.
What is the most you have spent on a date? I booked a New [...]
Forbes came out with another one of those surveys. This time around, you get a nice US map to lead you to all that is sin. You get seven. Which is your favorite? (Take a guess as to mine). Don't be surprised to learn that Cleveland is nowhere on any list. Nope, not even sloth. [...]
Ah, speed dating. I have mixed feelings about the Catholic Speed Dating event at St. Ladislas Church on April 4. First off, I am Catholic, but blasphemous as it may be, I don’t regularly follow the values and virtues of the Church (go ahead, I dare you to throw your stones), so what use would [...]
You can add this post to the "if-I-were-single-but-I’m-glad-I’m-not" file. From Cleveland Magazine, your February-issued hot-hot-HOT local singles:
Derek Hess - The consummate rock star of Cleveland. Just his simple adoration of our fine rust-belt city is enough to make this NEO-er swoon. And who doesn’t love the creative mind?
Jeff Kapostasy - Grammar freak — [...]
The Year Not to Waste — that’s ‘08. This year’s resolutions culminated to a two-sheet word document of categorical lists detailing highlighted points of accomplishments, monthly goals and mantras to reflect on during my daily affirmations. The first month has gone quickly, but I have started with much gusto. Let your own boredom and eye-rolling [...]
OK, sucky day over.
…and I got nothing.
Oooh-oooh! I got SOMETHING: How awesome is it being an adult and enjoying the luxurious luncheon option of french vanilla-spiked coffee and glazed honey buns. Anyone? Anyone? Oh yeah, that’s awesome. You know it, but won’t admit to your spike in sugar content because of all that "eat [...]
Today is a whole barrage of suck.
Carry on, internets. Carry on…
When I was 22, I was diagnosed with panic disorder — having had a three-month span of daily multiple bouts of full-blown panic attacks and the residual “I-think-I’m-going-to-have-another-one” symptoms when the attacks themselves were over. This revolving process resulted in highlighting yet another anxiety-based fear normally associated with panic, called agoraphobia. This admission ensures [...]
Life, Liberty...
