Labels: Stuff I'm Thinking About

Sharing the journey that has taken me from being a single girl in the advertising agency world to a married mommy running my own freelance writing and consulting business (and every random adventure in between).
THINGS I LOVE: Thunderstorms, power ballads, princess camping, exploring new cities, Jon Stewart, greatest hits CDs, clever ads, packing for a trip, George Clooney, impractical footwear, movies about spies, Starbucks, reading an entire book in one sitting, a house full of friends, movies about spies, buying presents, a perfect French manicure, warm modernist architecture, getting flowers for no reason, being faux brunette, Mary Poppins, making lists on Post-It notes, decorating for Christmas, having a brilliant middle-of-the-night 'aha!' idea and then actually remembering it in the morning / THINGS I HATE: People who whine, wearing sweats in public, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, birds, American tourists in foreign countries, taking down the Christmas tree, poems that rhyme, the misuse of semicolons, being lied to, unpacking after a trip, being closed-minded, naming your kid something common but then spelling it stupidly, cowboys, overly cautious drivers, fake curse words, ridiculously long surnames, strangers who start awkward conversations with you in places you can't readily escape

Kind of random, but do you remember back in the day on ER when Anthony Edwards' character Mark was dying? Their little family went and spent every last minute he had left together in Hawaii, and something about that has always stuck with me. Real life is not usually that simple, but it's such a beautiful idea.
Just watched the movie, Last Holiday, starring Queen Latifah - for the second time in the past year. It's cheesy but it's exactly the same story. I love it. She says if she got a second chance, she would laugh more, love more and not be so afraid.
A friend of mine had terminal Hodgkins lymphoma - she blew a wad going to Italy with her son for a month in spring (he's 8, she was a single mom). She died this week and I think Italy was a beautiful gift she gave to both of them.
