All 3 of you who randomly remember to check this blog...sorry that I've fallen off the wagon! Everyone in my life decided to get married in California during the month of September, so I spent a full 9 days in NYC during last month. And now I'm in full-blown Broadway show opening chaos. In the meantime, I have used the change of weather to inspire a few changes in my life.
1. I'm actually going to pay attention to the mail I receive via post, rather than just letting it pile up on my desk. This seems a petty revelation, however, the amount of sanity it provides is monumental. When I open up credit card bills to reveal the actual impact of Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs purchases, perhaps I won't blow my entire life's savings on fashion.
2. Work is no longer going to take over my life. After October. Until then, if you don't know where to find me, check a 5 block radius around Times Square.
3. Because I'm too busy to open my mail, I don't have time for things like laundry, changing lightbulbs, etc...how could I possibly have the time (or patience) to deal with men? And by men, I mean boys my age who have zero self-confidence, communication skills or the ability to see a good thing coming unless it smacks them in the face. And even when they're smacked, it often takes way too much time for them to process what just happened. I've decided to start smacking away in the hopes that just once, the timing will be right. Case in point, the most recent victim of my smackage--a friend of mine. There's absolutely no logical reason why I should like this person besides that it's a lingering sensation that has lasted far too long. I do believe I've rendered him speechless for the time being. In which case he has until the end of this month to pull it together, or I'm outta here.
And speaking of Outta Here, it's the best new song not yet on the airwaves. Justin Timberlake discovered Norwegian YouTube sensation Esmee Denters and I'm in love with her single, Outta Here. She's slowly emerging in the US, but just wait for it. A big thanks to Jill for the tip.
But perhaps her newest single Admit It is more appropriate for the Smackage.
