First and Ninth

Read the Signs. They’re Everywhere.

Have you ever been on a first date and gotten to know everything about her? Half way through, her lack of mutual discourse forces you to check out the girl at the next table. Generally, when a girl/guy plays the “me, my, I” card and doesn’t ask any follow-up questions, “they’re just not that into you.”  Think about it.  If you were instantly into someone wouldn’t you want to know everything you could, in order to find out what was wrong with them? Because you just have to find something, right? Wouldn’t you want to know enough about them to decide whether they could hang with you, your friends and your parents for the long haul?  Meanwhile, you’re sitting there wondering whether he’s a glass full kinda guy and his water glass is already empty.  He needed to wet his whistle from talking so much about me, my, I. Next.

I couldn’t resist re-blogging “Up in the Air :: Comfy maxi dress & packing segment” by Wendy Nguyen. I read her posts from time to time and get some invaluable fashion/styling tips. Since I’ve been living out of suitcases lately, the entry below gave me some useful tips on packing with purpose. Guy or girl, I think this could help organize your “excess baggage.” Or at the very least, get you to your destination wrinkle free. Enjoy!

Up In The Air

For all of my delicate dresses and items, I sandwich two large white tissue paper sheets and roll them into a sushi roll to protect them from rubbing.

I don’t remember the very moment I realized how blessed my life was; but I constantly remind myself, especially when I remember the brevity of moments in my life.
