We could all use some cheering up today.

LOVE this song/video! This is 6th grade in a nutshell for me.

Tomorrow, I will be here:

The first time I ever fell in love was with a married man. And although he said they only married so he could get a visa to come to the states with her while she finished her PhD, the fact remains he belonged to someone else. I was so head over heels for this dude and with the rush of new love (not to mention the…

OK, I don't know what this means, but last night I had a dream about Heidi Klum and Seal! They were showing me around their love nest which was at the top on an escalator in the middle of an upscale department store. I remember being amazed by her wardrobe. And wondering how they get it on when they live right in the…

Good luck! Don't freak out, it's gonna be okay. I graduated 3 1/2 years ago with my BSN, and since then I have worked on a trauma floor, as an acute dialysis nurse and tomorrow morning I am heading to the Dominican Republic for 6 weeks to work in a clinic. There are so many options open to you once you get that RN.…

I have to go watch it again.

"I'm fucking Matt Damon!"

Hey, thanks! Let's hope I can keep up the momentum throughout the year! Best wishes to you in 2012!

I started formulating my resolutions for 2012 about six months ago (is that cheating?). I'm not a type A personality (somewhere between type C and Z if that makes sense) but I knew I wanted to get back to dreaming those big dreams I had a few years ago. And if there's a chance the world might end, why not go out with…

TERRIERS! Not the dogs (but yeah, they're great)...the TV show! If you loved Veronica Mars, I think you'll be into it. On Netflix instant, sadly only 1 season long.

Ah, Tactical Manuel...best known for his heart-wrenching turn in that "Very Special Episode" of GI Joe (the one about racism in the military).

I plan on buying a handle of rum just in case I mess it up the first few times I mix it. (But I've heard that bay rum is toxic once the essence of the bay leaves is distilled.)

Trying to go for all or mostly homemade Christmas gifts this year. I think this will be perfect for the gentleman in my life. He hasn't worn cologne since Burt's Bees stopped making Bay Rum. Just found a recipe for bay rum aftershave!

I wish I had heard this a week ago...they just played in my city on Tuesday, but I'd never listened to them before so didn't realize their awesomeness and therefore did not go to the show :/ Next time!

I'm straight girl in a relationship (a FWB thing with LOTS of of B and we are the best of F), but seriously crushing on an older woman at work. I'm a nurse, she's a doctor. She is smart as hell, doesn't take crap, will tell you exactly what she thinks of you if you're not on top of your shit. Was afraid of her for the…

Nope. I just checked yesterday.

Oh hell yes. Check out her album "To Love Somebody." Covers of Leonard Cohen, Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Byrds. Sublime to the max.

Unapologetic consumerism, and the pressure to partake in such.

We had this cassette tape when I was a kid and I would rewind this song again and again. Then when my hippie-ish art teacher in 3rd grade taught us about Van Gogh, I asked if I could bring in the tape to play for the class. She was way into it. She turned off the lights in the classroom and played it for all of us.…
