life was good.

*going through the notes on my phone of posts i’ve wanted to write over the past two weeks.

two more weekly posts from 2011 are on their way. and i’m gearing up for much more interesting (pinkie swear) weekly posts for 2012. however, i felt the need to do this ‘in limbo’ post cause i have a few things i need to get down on ‘paper’.

1. my top three HNY texts from Saturday night:

1. “Happy New Year sweetheart”—from Jeff, high school best bud, prom date extraordinaire, needs to call me back about going to long island this weekend. who the heck says ‘sweetheart’ other than the nice receptionist at the eye doctor??!!!? Jeff does.

2. “Jim!”— from Casey, ex roommate, current goofball. the text is a reference to a story she told me when i was having a bluesy couple of weeks this summer. we were drinking wine on the pier in hoboken and laughed so hard for so long i literally had to stop at CVS to get advil from a laughter headache.

3. “You are the one person who helped my 2011 be as magical as it was. Ups. Downs. Tears. Drinks. Adventures. Hopes. Confiding. Plans. Excitement. You were it, love. I can not wait to take deep breaths with you in 2012. I love your guts”. V, need i say more?? hearing things like this is exactly what one needs to propel you into a new year with the right foot forward. and now i’m about to quote ‘friday night lights’ for you: clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.

2. I’m on day one of my detox and i’m headachey and sleepy and not making sense (that’s apparent) and i still have 20 days left.  i’m missing delicious rosemary asiago cheese from trader joe’s. 

3. ‘real housewives of beverly hills’ is on and that dead guy hasn’t died yet. it’s bizzaro watching people talk about him ‘behind his back’ (in front of a green screen) knowing that he then committed suicide. can they watch this? i couldn’t…

4. my honors scientific psych teacher from senior year of high school would be aghast at my outlining right now. 

5.OHHH—last line item from my notes. my resolution! aside from the healthy living, weekly bettering, traveling, working and what have you, i have decided to resolve to stop at all scenic overlooks on the highway. even if i’m in a rush and running late. especially if i’m in a rush and running late.
