"hey, i got something to say to you...man!"

"i break for birds, i rock a lot of polka dots! i have touched glitter in the last 24 hours! i spend my entire day talking to children...and i find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person, that's just weird and it freaks me out! and i'm sorry i don't talk like murphy brown and i hate your pantsuit; i wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter...and that doesn't mean that i'm not smart and tough and strong!"

amen, jess. new girl is definitely a new fave of mine, and this quote from tuesday's episode really struck me, because i feel that's really me (besides the talking to children all day part...). and i feel like saying those things sometimes... yes i carry an oldschool volkswagen metal lunchbox, and it's fun and awesome! i dance in my chair at work when i'm listening to happy music, i have an affinity for saying "woo hoo!" and yes i have a mustache tattoo (yes it's real), i think its hilarious! stop taking yourself so seriously!

out of bed

truthful tuesday - when i grow up

hello friends! as of late, i have been thinking about what i want to "be" ... mind you, i am in my late twenties with a blossoming career in a field i love -  i work in marketing & communications for a non-profit and could not be more grateful for the amazing opportunity to have a job that is so fulfilling, professionally and personally. however, i can't help but feel that there is something missing. one day i want to go to grad school and pursue a career in public policy, another i'm ready to be back in the fast-paced world of advertising (like, for a minute, and then it's gone), and the next i want to open my own bakery. some of these dreams i've researched thoroughly as if i'm going to up and do it tomorrow, but i always come back to "is this what i want to be when i 'grow up'?"

so tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up? are you already there? do you ever feel that aching need for change? i'd love to know.

hello?

hi dear friends...sorry i've been kind of sporadic in posting and a little m.i.a...i feel like i'm drowning a lot in work and a little in life.  not in a bad "everything is crazy" way just in a "holy cow i need to catch up with life" way. make sense?

so i just wanted to say hello...i promise to update you with something more interesting soon :)

roxy sends kisses.
