I'm afflicted with Wanderlust, I could eat Greek/Lebanese food every day, and I should really attend some sort of Movie Addicts Anonymous meeting.
This is my little scrapbook I keep to prevent me from going insane. This is my truth book. This is my drawer in which I'll stuff memories, photographs and the occasional candy wrapper. Then maybe one day I'll pull the drawer out all way, dig in deep, and find something way, way in the back that I'd forgotten about. That's the real reason for my blog. To remember. To cherish.

The Blind Side
Saw this in a very, very crowded theatre last night. It was amazing. I would watch it thirty-five times.

I find this both amazing and terrifying.

I wish our area still looked like this. It seems that we went from a golden wonderland to a dull zone overnight. But it all has a reason! When I was airing out a comforter this morning, I smelled that sharp, clean air that is basically your warning that snow is around the corner.
Looking forward to walking in a winter wonderland!

In some places kissing is a crime - it’s illegal in Indiana for a mustached man to “habitually kiss human beings”, in Hartford, Connecticut it’s illegal for a husband to kiss his wife on Sunday, and in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it’s a crime to kiss a stranger.

I would enjoy owning this. I would treat it kindly, show it off in the evening, introduce it to nice people. I wouldn’t ‘forget’ to call the next day, but wake it up with breakfast…
3 days agoToday is Thursday and the weather is miserable. It’s appalling. Misty, foggy, damp, cold, with a heavy feeling and groggy eyes. Okay, well maybe the groggy eyes were mine this morning.
I came home around 12 and fixed lunch. Then proceeded to catch up on DVR’d love - it was crying out to be watched. So after that I started to hunt the internet for some personalized gift boxes for my mama for Christmas (she has her own small jewelry line and I would like her to have some custom gift boxes for when she sells next year), but unfortunately it’s difficult to find them for some bizarre reason. Even wedding places don’t seem to have what I need.
Anyway, I want to kick this day in the butt.
But I think I’ll just go kick my own butt. Cardio, please and thank you.
3 days agoThe other night, my mama and I headed to a lecture by Kathy Reichs, author of the novel series chronicling the life is a forensic anthropologist, Temperance Brennan. She is also a producer for the TV series, Bones.

We found out about her lecture from the library and went downtown to hear this woman speak. In love with her books and her style of blending science with captivating story lines, I was ready for a good evening. And I was not disappointed! Her lecture was fascinating. I learned an incredible deal about the nature of forensic anthropology and the true cases behind the novels. Reichs was witty, and included personalized pieces in her lecture pertaining to our area.
I was also stunned by how much she has accomplished in her. The woman testified at the genocide trials in Darfur. She works for both the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and Laboratoire des Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale in Quebec. She sits on the American Academy of Forensic Sciences board. This lady’s career is incredible.
However, her interaction skills left a little something to be desired. I was one of the first to have my book signed (only her name though, not mine!) and mentioned that her lecture was fantastic and I learned a lot. She just smiled a little and nodded and moved her eyes on to the next person. It was a little cold.
But hey, I don’t want to be her friend, I just want to read her books.

3 days ago- Owen Dias, Proclaimer of ‘No Sloppy Seconds!’
Just feet from a gay pride flag flapping in the breeze, Owen Dias squats on the fire hydrant in Powell Square five days a week like Dorothy landed in Oz. In a city renowned for free love, the first topless club, and a mayor beloved despite his adulterous sex scandal, a man with a “No Unlawful Sex” sign is mostly dismissed as an oddity.
For some reason I can’t get past why he couldn’t stop before saying the womb thing. Your whole life was enough. We don’t care what you did in there.
