new blog.

hi. i'm starting a new blog. but keeping this one. the other blog is just where i will post things that i like and how they fit into the primary 5 senses. enjoy.

sweet or spicy?

am i the only one who thinks imitation cherry flavoring is more spicy than it is actually sweet?

i regret getting a cherry flavored anything every single time. so tricky.

anniversary.

20 years ago today, this happened:

and i remember watching it on the news with my parents. i remember the magic.

it's almost time...

for lost to start again! i don't why, but i just got really excited for it. now i want to watch the entire series just to prep for all the mind-blowing plot twists that will be coming my way in february.

ps. did anyone catch the lost reference on 30 rock last week? maybe lost is just one of hurley's dreams...

pps. i got my google wave invite tonight! now i just need to figure it out...but i did squeal with excitement when i saw it in my inbox.

she bangs. she bangs.

remember ricky martin? i do.

today i am pleasantly pleased as a plum with my bangs. seriously, i feel like i have been trying to get them to do this for months...maybe i will sleep with wet hair more often?

too short.

and no, i am not referring to my height. i am referring to fall. it just seems like yesterday that all the leaves were turning red, and now they are all on the ground and bare branches are exposed all over town. there is just something so dreary about this sight...although i guess this puts us just one season closer to spring time again...

on another note, i was so exhausted when getting ready this morning that i almost put my toothpaste on as my deodorant. the only thing that deterred me from this debacle was when i went to swipe it under my arm, i noticed that it still had its lid on. and that is when i realized that i almost had mint fresh underarms. oops.

sharing.

here's a story i just shared with a friend:

on halloween, i had just left the local grocery store with a sandwich in hand. i paused to buy a newapaper from a local vendor, and i then chose my route home. this day, i chose to walk through the neighborhood streets, as it was halloween, and the mainroads were bombarded with children and their pumpkin shaped buckets full of halloween candy. as i made my way through the neighborhood, eating my sandwich while reading the front page of the paper, an elderly gentlemen and his wife stopped me. his wife, held a huge grin on her face, as her arm was tightly clasped her husband. he held a clear ziplock bag filled with fun-size snickers bars. he reached into his bag, and pulled out a candy bar and handed it to me, as he did so, he remarked, "what a cute costume!" i laughed a little and gave an ecstatic "thank you!" for his kindness, and went along my way.

but here's the thing, i wasn't in costume. i was in my normal clothing. in fact, it was one of those days where you put on the perfect outfit. you know what i mean?

afterwards, my mind was quickly flooded with the warnings i received as a kid: "don't take candy from strangers," etc. and everything about that situation went against what my mom taught me as a child...i ate the candy bar for dessert last night...sorry mom...
