Forgot my QB! And the rest of the team..
August 31st, 2010I simply do not know what is wrong with me. I am not ready for football season. Check my temperature, maybe I have a fever. For the first time in a decade, I’m not playing fantasy football. Why you ask?
Well, I could make a ton of excuses including the Bucs really seem to have dashed my football dreams, but my backup team is the Ravens so that doesn’t really fly. I could say I’m too busy. But how hard is it to remember to set my lineup each week? I could say no one asked me, but couldn’t I have used my various social media platforms to find a league?

*Sigh* I just don’t know. I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch an entire pre-season game yet. Not even the chance of a glimpse of Tim Tebow in his Bronco uniform has sparked my interest. *Sigh*
I know a lot of my male readers, as well as some of the women, are desperately trying to figure out what is wrong with me. Is anti-fantasyfootballitis spreading? Or is it just me? And please tell me it’s not too late to find a cure!

Dear Clutter, Take that!
August 24th, 2010Yes, you heard me right. No, I never make my bed. And yes, I got rid of shoes.. 25 pairs. Can you believe it. If you’re a size seven, check a few out on eBay including these sassy BCBG pumps that have never been worn.
I’ve got a few fabulous and only gently worn pair I’m debating about selling too. This de-cluttering is actually more fun than I thought. Now the cleaning… that’s a whole different story.

Get outta my way, I’m de-cluttering!

Brave, bored or just broken-hearted?
August 21st, 2010“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
~ Dr. Seuss
To say the last few weeks of my life have been crazy is an understatement. As you know I’ve always used this blog as a bit of self-therapy, so here I go. Am I brave, bored or just broken-hearted?
I have replaced my very well loved yet totaled 2005 Grand Am (yes, I’m aware it was not a BMW) with a slightly older model with higher mileage, 4-door minus the sun roof and get this…. no automatic windows!
But I payed cash and have no car payment. I know a car is just a car, but I did love my little red ride. It wasn’t the sportiest car, but it was about to be all mine with no car payment and no immediate need for repairs. And yet another thing I’ve worked really hard to keep, but lost anyway. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
Then I lost someone who is very important to me. No, the person isn’t missing or worse, but he has left my life for the time being, or maybe forever. I’m not sure I believe the dumb saying if you love something set it free… yada yada yada. But I know right now it is the right thing as much as I hate to admit it to myself. And as much as I hate to admit it to others, I am terribly heartbroken.
I thought we had something very special, and now I have no idea it is ever going to be a reality. I’m sure some of you say time for a Meet the Exes post here, but the truth is I don’t want to banish him into that category. At least not yet anyway. But here’s one thing I do know. I am an amazing woman and if he’s not smart enough to figure that out, then it is his loss. And as always, I will pick myself up and move on.
Speaking of.. I’m moving on in other parts of my life. I quit my job this week. Some people have said I’m brave, others have said I’m crazy and some simply have no idea what to say. But the people who matter most in my life support my decision, and after all these years I’ve learned to have enough faith in myself. I’m not quite ready to share what my new adventure will be, but I do know I’d love to have you all along for the ride. So stay tuned…
Stylishly yours,
Miss Attitude

Stronger than I seem
August 16th, 2010“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ”
~Christopher Robin to Pooh
So you know how last week I told you how I got my mojo back despite because of my car crash, well I think don’t think I gave enough credit to very important part of what helps make me stronger. The support of my family and friends.
I know I’ve told you before how lucky I am to have such a great family and wonderful friends, but the past couple weeks I’ve come to appreciate them much more. A lot has changed in my life in that short amount of time, or in reality it’s probably been changing for a while. And through it all I know who I can depend on when the going gets rough. And I also know who when the going gets rough, who might get get going instead.
My mother just told me, and I hope she won’t mind that I wrote this on the blog, that I am strong. Always have been and that I can do this. Well, guess what? That’s because she and my dad raised me right. I give them a lot of credit for who I am. But the funny thing is she told me I’ve always been me, even as young as three. Well it’s good to know I won’t lose my mojo if I’ve had it that long, huh?
My friends have also reminded me how strong I am. See, that’s what good friends do. They boost you up when you need it, not bring you down or ignore what you are going through. Every day I am thankful to have so many great friends in my life. I probably don’t tell them enough how much I love them and how much they mean to me, but they are irreplaceable unlike a car or condo.
Stylishly yours,
