So Let Me Ask...
siximpossiblethingsforbreakfast:
1. As the saying goes “What is meant to be will be”, and “Everything happens for a reason”. 2. I’ve also heard that you have to work really hard for what you want.
So let me ask….
Do you believe in one or the other? Or how do the two concepts work together symbiotically?
[Questions I can’t seem to get a grasp on]
I believe in both sayings.
I firmly believe...

Ever since my self-imposed shopping ban,
I have been browsing online more than ever for things I actually can buy (in case you forgot, I banned clothes & shoes).
Noteably, I’ve been looking at jewelry and things for my apartment.
I might have to lift the ban for a little bit, though, as my friend is quitting her job at Anthropologie (she got a new, better one! Go E!!), and therefore losing her 40% discount. I am probably...
Today is
static-y hair.
bagel and lox for lunch.
dry hands.
sore hamstrings.
grocery shopping (finally).
black and navy.
changing vacation plans.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion and Jersey Shore.
Almost Friday.
Not Friday.
No new Top Chef, no new Modern Family...
I’m getting into bed and if all goes according to plan, hope to be asleep by 10. For the second night this week.
Easiest soup ever:
A lot of times, I’m lazy. I am also often cold.
This is where my staple soup comes into play. Sometimes, I pair it with a sandwich or salad of sorts, too.
Ingredients:
Chicken broth (or any other kind)
Frozen potstickers (I buy mine from Trader Joes. Most varieties seem to work).
Frozen veggies - today I used frozen spinach, frozen peas, and frozen shelled edamame
Sesame oil, soy...
Things I was supposed to do today:
Go to the gym
Go grocery shopping
Go to Urban Outfitters
Go to the post office
Things I actually did today:
None of the above
Sleep
Watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Again.

I am buying myself a book instead of clothes...
Smart=sexy.
Even if the book is trashy (because let’s be honest, it probably will be), I’m still counting reading as being smart.
I really wish I didn’t know, though, that everything is 40% off at Ann Taylor Loft.
Home sick today and I have so far
slept until 10:45, eaten eggs for breakfast, checked my personal email, checked my work email, and am considering going back to sleep.
I hope I am cured by tomorrow.
NEW:
I am settled into my new apartment. My electric blanket is pumping, my clothes are on the floor, and I have eaten three four different kinds of soups in five days.
Oh, and I’m sick, but have not called off work yet. I am not sure if tomorrow will be the day, or if I’ll try and stick it out and call in Thursday (Thursdays have the tendency to suck more than Wednesdays at my job).

And now, I will stop being so negative about the past and focus on the present.

We will not call, text or Facebook him twice in a row. No matter how desperate we are to hear from him. (Remember that little word, desperate.)
We’ll give Mr. Nice Guy a chance. And give Mr. Bad Boy the boot.
We’ll teach Nice Guy a few of Bad Boy’s bedroom moves.
We will not shave our legs…
Things to remember. Seriously.

How Not to Be an Asshole in Every Day Life.
I was taught to say “hello” and “how are you” and “nice to see you” and “have a great night” when greeting and leaving family, friends, and non-friends alike.
I was always taught the very Irish tradition of ”graciously refuse twice…

Changes:
This past week, there have been a couple of changes in my little life.
Some things fell apart. I deleted someone toxic out of my life, and I feel good about that.
Okay, that’s a lie. I’m upset about it, but am trying to move on.
I also got my hair cut. My hair is now about five inches shorter, and I only feel okay about this. It was kind of done in a moment of anger- a desperate...
