What ever comes to mind...

Phone Etiquette….

1. Call my cell
2. Leave a voice message on my cell
3. Text Me
4. Call my house
5. Tweet me
6. FB Me

It’s preferred that you do one (two if you’re choosing to leave a message) … but not all.  Especially when it’s not even important.

I’ve had some people call my cell, leave a voice message, turn around and call my house, and THEN text me asking if I saw that they called and/or left a message.

Really?  Is ALL of that necessary?

Once, my uncle left my mom’s house and while she and I were on the phone, he called her to let her know that  he & my aunt made it home safely.  When she didn’t click over, he left a message.  Then he texted her.  Then I could hear him calling her house phone.  She FINALLY put me on hold so she could answer the phone.  And the fact that she was absolutely calm about it?  Lord.  I was irritated FOR her.

When you try to contact me multiple times, these are the only acceptable reasons:

• You or something is on fire
• Someone has died
• YOU are dying
• You are at the ER

Are these circumstances extreme?  Yes. BUT…

My cell phone, house phone, and any other methods of communication are for MY convenience.  NOT YOURS.

Bye, loves.

Losing yourself is the most painful thing. Not love.

Is There Anything Wrong With Being Spontaneous?

Spontaneity

1.  Thrilling/Exciting/Fun?
2.  Lazy?
3.  A little bit of both?

I’ll dive into this from a friendship/relationship perspective:

1.  Nothing can describe the rush you feel from being spontaneous.  You feel on top of the world and beyond excited about whatever it is you’re about to do.  It keeps things fun.  It keeps things interesting.   And life wouldn’t be so thrilling if you weren’t kept on your toes.

2.  It won’t kill you to make some plans.   I promise.  I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve felt super special when something was planned out for me (us).  It lets me know that careful thought was put into it so that we may have a good time.  Does it mean that it will ward off the occasional hiccup?  No.  But typically, plans are made because you truly care about something/someone.  It means that the time invested in this was worth it.

3.   Mix it up.  There’s nothing wrong with being spontaneous.  But for the sake of being courteous of the other person’s life/schedule … plan things every now and then.  And if you ever plan to to be spontaneous (see what i did there), then make sure to not talk about being spontaneous and just BE.  Nothing is more disappointing than hearing someone talk about being spontaneous only to realize that there’s nothing being done.  I know that being spontaneous is just an element of surprise anyway, but if you’re not gonna be spontaneous, then plan it out.   If you’re not gonna plan it out, then be spontaneous.  Other wise, your friend or s/o will just feel …. abandoned. 

Bye, loves.

I’m Going Out (Followup)

So, I arrived at my friend’s place. I was SO ready to kick back and relax. I was starving, so I ordered a couple of pizzas and then I hopped into my bathing suit. We went down to the hot tub only to realize that they never fixed it. It ended up being a “warm tub” basically. So with 2 beach bags full of liquor and a couple bottles of wine…. We headed back inside.

Pizza. Wine. Scary movies.

What did I learn?

1. Moscato is thebombdotcom and I regret not trying it sooner.
2. It was nice to get out and not work from home late at night….. I need to do it more often.
3. I need some more girlfriends. A couple of them were too sleepy to hang. (and I mean that in the nicest way possible)
4. Turn my phone the entire f*ck off because everyone under the sun wants to text or call when I’m “busy”.
5. Mojitos are garbage in a glass. It was like drinking a Listerine & Halls cocktail. No ma’am. Never again.
6. NEVER mix 3 types of rum. Even if you’re dared to.
7. It’s not that I took this text to heart. Not at all. But what I did do was take some of it and applied it to myself. Specifically the “career over social life” part. I just didn’t want to look back on life when I’m 30 or 40 and wonder why in the hell did I waste my 20’s away being stuck behind a computer.

But anyway …. Life is good.

Bye, loves.

“KMSL”……

*facepalm*

KMSL….. killing myself laughing.

1. How about you kill yourself by diving head first into a pool of battery acid.

2. “Myself” is one word. Not two. So if we got technical, it would really be “kml”.

3. It would be an absolute pleasure if you really did kill yourself while laughing so you wouldn’t use “kmsl” all over my timeline. Ever. Again.

That is all.

I’m Going Out.

A text I received yesterday : “What can a man offer her if she’s a ‘career over social life’ type of woman?”

Well, damn.  

——

He wasn’t referring to me …. but it still jolted me, and I was becoming THAT woman.

WHY I was becoming that woman will be in another post. 

And the reason we even got on that topic may be another.

Until then, I’ve packed my bags full of cute bathing suits tonight and I’m getting ready to go over to a girlfriend’s house to sit in the hot tub while we drink wine with friends.

Well isn’t that some classy stuff?

Hello social life….. glad we could reunite.
