Rants and Raves

First off, I just want to appoligize for not posting in so long, I promise that I will be putting a lot of stuff up soon for you all to read.

Second, I would like to welcome my sixth reader K-Mac, she's keepin it real out there in SF!

So here are my rants and raves for today.

Rants:

Lines at the gym: Let’s start here shall we? When you go to the gym, you go to workout. You do not go to stand in a line between working out, that pretty much defeats the purpose.

Whiny debutant types at the salon: So I went for a mani, pedi on Saturday and I do have to say that my relaxation time was not well spent. I spent the entire time trying to zone out three debutant types that were all apparently planning weddings and have a lot of drama in their lives. Please, I understand that you have gossip to catch up on but does it really have to be shouted back and forth across the entire SALON and disrupt my quiet time??

People afflicted with the “busy” disease: Ok people, lets get this straight – we all live in NYC and we are all busy, that is a given. Being busy is not a disease, it doesn’t just happen to you, and it’s a choice. Yes, that may come as a surprise but you are choosing to be busy, please stop blaming your lack of time for other activities on being busy, be honest, you don’t want to do the “said” activity - ‘nough said.

Raves:

Galoshes: Can I just say that I love galoshes? Not the trendy kind that have prints all over them that are supposedly cool but the real ugly kind that are meant for tromping through mud and snow and rain! And, not only are they cool cause they make you feel like jumping in puddles like you are 10 again but the word itself is so fun to say…. Come on y’all say it with me… GALOSHES!!

Running down the middle of a car-less avenue: Its very liberating to run down the middle of the street. I know its not real dangerous since there are no cars but you still have a strange sense of accomplishment while you are doing this, like you shouldn’t really be there… try it sometime, you will like it.

Cupcakes: There is something about cupcakes that makes you feel like a kid. I would have to say that my experience at Magnolia’s bakery was not very child like and I wouldn’t include it as part of my rave experience… but licking the icing off your fingers after eating the whole thing in less than three bites? If that doesn’t take you back to your childhood, I don’t know what will.

Birthdays: I love birthdays, there is nothing like treating yourself a little special and surrounding yourself with your friends (oh and buying a new pair of shoes) cause you survived another year.
