Good Answer, thank you.

This weekend I did something I have not done in a very long time- I bought a fashion magazine, specifically Elle.

I read it nearly cover to cover and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and in some ways felt I had missed out on something these past few years (I read it often during High School, but somewhere decided fashion mags were evil and stopped). It not only gives me fun pictures to look at of cool new clothes, but also informs about lots of other art- like plays and books and movies, and informs me about anything from the truth about breast implants to the uses of marijuana in the treatment of anxiety.

I enjoyed it because it helped me feel informed. I do, I do enjoy that. I was exposed to multiple books I would like to add to my "To Read List." I enjoyed reading that in the soon to be summer hit, "Pineapple Express" James Franco steals the show. I also enjoyed looking at the shocking purple eye shadow and wishing I could pull that off just once.

I am a girl- right down to it. I enjoy clothes, and make up, and pretty things. I enjoy reading about Mary Kate Olsen and her latest successful creations.

Now- onto more specific things. Breast implants. I was educated that the decision to have breast implants is a decision to risk having surgery on your breasts several times. Lots of things can happen that require adjusting, repairing, replacing, etc. I was glad that a magazine chose to inform women of the risks in an informative and impartial article.

It got me thinking- would I ever have plastic surgery? I do not think I would. But I discussed the issue with BK on the car ride home and was then informed of an older women that I have met with who has breast implants- and I never knew! It was a very shocking revelation for me because I never would have guessed that this woman would make that choice.

Is plastic surgery wrong? Is it any different to choose to enlarge your breasts, change your nose, your butt, thighs, etc from wanting to replace glasses with contact lenses, dying your hair, etc? Isn't kind of the same- or do you tink it is different?

Another one of those questions where I wonder if I should even bother looking for an answer. Maybe it does not even matter.

When you get down you...

What do you do when you get down? I suppose it may depend on the type of "down."

Yesterday I felt weird and sad and could not shake it. I did not know why I felt that way or how to get rid of it. Today I feel loads better, but I still feel like I need something to shake my system up a little.

I've decided that what I need is a good long fast car ride through the curvy, hilly, scenic roads of MD with the windows down and loud loud loud music in my ears and all around.

Yeah...that would be sweet right about now. Too bad I am in Philly and the car is in Harrisburg.

I miss my old car....good old whitey ford. I wish it was still with me.

The summer is here and there are many birthdays to celebrate!

My idea of summer has been evolving since I reached adulthood. It is no longer what it used to be, and I am not really sure what that means.

I have not felt like writing on here...not sure what to write. I have felt like everything I write is boring and shallow. SO...here is some more boring and shallow news!!

I have not been working a ton. I am trying to keep busy in the home so I do not go crazy. BK and I got more living room furniture and it has made a big improvement. We got two bookshelves and a tv stand. Now our living room is almost complete. It still needs: an area rug, window treatments, a floor lamp, and some art for the walls. I think we may be able to finish the living room for good (except maybe the art) in the next couple weeks. At that point I can look to the dining room. I am slowly making a grown up home!

In other news- I have a birthday coming up and that day also has new meaning this year. It marks exactly 1 year since BK and I got engaged. It is surreal- to say the least. I think to celebrate we are going to take a day trip to the beach. It will be appropriate seeing as how last year on that day I went to the beach without him. I am looking forward to the day. We have not been to the beach together in many years- which is unfortunate and must change.

In other news- I was recently notified of a Rita's location just around the corner from my house. This is very exciting and will greatly increase the amount of water ice (I've become a Philadelphian and will from this point on refer to it as such) I consume this summer.

That is all.

POST #112

It has been a long few days....

I do not want to share about that now. Instead I only want to complain. Ugh...I just got a twang of guilt about complaining while knowing I should not....crap I hate when I feel the urge to do better when I so want to do wrong.

Basically I hate the location of my desk at this office. It is not a big deal...I am only here for a few days...and almost done.

The next few days will consist of the following:
Today- sleeping in, half day work, wrap party
Tomorrow- half day work, cleaning house, running errands at Target
Friday- GO HOME TO CELEBRATE EEK'S GRAD AND PARTY PARTY PARTY.

As you may be able to tell I am very much hoping for the next two days to go by quickly and then enjoy the weekend.

I am pretty excited to go home and have fun.

Ugh. I can smell someone's stinky lunch and it makes me want to vomit. I hate being seated here.
