Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:46:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en You know those days when you feel like you suck at life? When you are just unattractive and awkward and no matter what sort of skills you know that you have, suddenly you feel like you can't do anything well? Sigh. http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2012/01/10/just-one-of-those-days/ I feel the need to say that my job has now made me twitchy. My eye and and my right arm are now both going haywire and I look like I'm routinely sticking my fork in the light socket. I hear this can be caused by anxiety and lack of ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/09/16/twitchy/ This morning, someone brought me a free, unexpected, out-of-the-blue Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. This is one of my favorite things of all time. Nothing to me says fall like the pumpkin spice latte. The color is beautiful. The taste is soothing. And God bless that caffeine that kept me awake ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/09/14/spicy/ Families are complicated organisms, full of living, breathing parts and each one is as powerful as the one next to it.

I like it, but I'm not so crazy about the ulcer it's giving me. Or the gray hair. Ok, technically I haven't seen any gray hair yet, but I know it's coming. I can feel it tingling just below ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/08/25/changes/ Feeling a little adventurous today. Don't get too excited. I'm not talking ab0ut a new tattoo or driving around in parts of town I don't know without a GPS. I'm talking about lipstick. It's a little fancy for me. It's a lot darker than I normally wear. But I have to ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/06/18/pucker-up/ Can I confess something? This year I have very mixed emotions regarding the Tonys. Don't worry; I'm still madly in love with the show.

It's one of things I look forward to all year. I count down. I watch the clock. I make myself a touch crazy about it. The thing I love about the Tonys, though, is that while it certainly creates a little extra crazy it also heals me ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/06/11/one-day-more/ Monday I woke up and had a weight that I was not happy about. To compensate, I curled my hair and wore eye makeup. Tuesday I had some extra time in the morning and decided that I’d try it again, curling my hair with one hand while I brushed my teeth ... http://www.thoughtsofmyown.com/2011/05/24/fancy-that/
