Stuff I'm thinking about right now...
"To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly."
"So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late."
Lee Iacocca
"Self is the only prison that can ever bind the soul." Henry Van Dyke
"Every morning I start with a drink from my cup of sunshine, to remind myself of who I am before I step into the world of 'this is who we think you are.'" Dodinsky
"All men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives, trying to create their idea of a masterpiece." Eddie Murphy
"Renew thyself completely each day; do it again, and again, and forever again." Thoreau in Walden
I believe in self reinvention. Switching it all up sometimes. Pull something out of the back of your closet. Pop your collar. Rearrange the furniture. Cut your hair. Join roller derby. Get some new music. Pick up a self help book. Audition for a play. Learn guitar.
Speaking of self help books, I'm reading this book right now. It's awesome. It will make you want to be more kind. Get up earlier. Go for a walk in the woods. Laugh more. Go buy it.
Speaking of learning guitar, my eldest is teaching herself. I sat outside her bedroom door listening to this with tears running down my face. I was proud. She is starting lessons in the next few weeks.
A friend sent me this today. It made me smile.
I've gone on a few dates lately. I want to start an anonymous blog and tell about them. My sister says older men is where it's at. I've found older men seem to lack...swag. I like some swag.
My friend Chris says I'm too old to use the word swag and that it makes me sound like a middle-aged woman with teen-agers. He is 26 and keeps a stack of cardigans in his office like Mr. Rogers.
I'm listening to Interpol right now. Cage the Elephant. Silversun Pickups and Middle Class Rut.
I need to pay my parking tickets. They're waking me up in the night.
Here's a good article. I'm doing it. Till I cry.
Have a great Wednesday.

I loved EVERYTHING about this post. The video of you made me laugh so hard...made me miss you even MORE!
Savannah...gorgeous. Voice, music...beautiful.
OK GO Rocks.
Love all the ideas here. I've already reserved that book from my library : )
I've seen the OK Go video before so I almost didn't watch it again...but I'm so glad I did. Very creative.
Change is good!
Thank you, Heidi! Miss you, too :)
Annie, you will love the book. Thanks for the comment :)

We follow each others boards on Pinterest and I also have commented on Kelle's blog. Geez, now I sound like a stalker! LOL.

Wendy Turner :)

nice to meet you, wendy :)
So... about this guy, how far are you from Columbus, OH? :)
Nice to meet you, Carin!
These thoughts sounds very familiar. I know someone who thinks like you. Hmmm...
familiar, eh?
perhaps you're clairvoyant.
maybe you should go the other direction than your sister and go for the younger man, if for nothing else than the fact that it might be super fun!
besides you dont look at day over 21 and you are in a college town. ;-)
love love
the switching it up
it keeps the spice
the unknown
and frequently
wonderful adventures
and meeting awesome people
when we live out side the box
my favorite nursing professor
when dying of cancer
invited me to her home
for a personal good bye
she shared this poem
with me
knowing i was going
into oncology/bone marrow transplant
"If I had my life to live over,
I'd try to make more mistakes next time.
I would relax.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip,
I know of very few things I would take seriously.
I would take more chances,
I would take more trips.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers and watch more sunsets.
I would eat more ice creams and less beans.
I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people
who live prophylactically and sanely and sensibly,
hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments and, if I had to do it over again, I would have more of them.
In fact I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after another.
If I had to live my life over,
I would start bare-footed earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.
I would play hooky more.
I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.
I'd pick more daisies."
start to collect ur daisies
and for get the older men
men sexually peak
at 24
women 34
if u choose some
over 40
they r way past their prime
and sometimes need
a little pill
to help them out
go for the swag
plenty of time
for the older
who, by the way
have more baggage
that loads them down
removes some swag
i love the
"i'm doing it. Till i cry"
the , u r done girlfriend
love u with all my heart
xoxo rosa
