Headache (Flip Side 3/52)
It’s only Tuesday and my week has been brutal. After not getting much sleep at all last night, dealing w/ 2 sickly folks in the house I am left with this…
Headache
The Fracture Fallacy (Part 1)
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
We’re taught this from a young age. That we shouldn’t let words hurt us. That they can’t hurt us. Not in the way physical assault can.
Words aren’t strong.
That’s what we’re taught. What we’re told.
We were lied to.
Words can hurt deeper than any physical ailment.
The scars last so much longer, cut so much deeper.
I’m thirty four.
I still can crumble in tears when I remember events from 20 years ago.
Words and actions that hurt worse than any physical ailment ever hurt me.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will forever hurt me.

*Obviously this is just the first post. I don’t know how many there will be…probably just a few. It’s a post series I’ve been meaning to write for a while that’s sort of connected to the I Am Real post.
…And I had the most beautiful hair…
This picture is a couple months old.
When she was in the hospital I was scheduled to see Wicked w/ my Dad.
The night ended up a bit of a let down. Things happened that made it not what it should have been. Things beyond the “it’s bad enough my baby is in the hospital…”
But the whole time, even through the ick…
I had the most beautiful hair.
Styled by none other than my Angel.
And yes, I kept it like that through the whole show.
Oh, the places you’ll go
I never thought that blogging would bring me where it did today.
Sitting next to Indiana’s Lt. Governor.
With an amazing group of blogging women from all corners of the state.
It was too short. We could have been there four hours and still been talking.
It was truly an honor and a privilege to meet Lt. Gov. Skillman.

No long post about what happened there (or after…but if you are ever in Indy, make sure you carpool w/ the pregnant Casey. Cravings for yogurt get you some of the BEST EVER. On Mass Ave on a night that feels like spring after the Icepocalyse. Perfection. Totally worth the swollen feet from the unexpected hours in my new shoes. And take some time to go thrifting w/ Emily. You may end up hating her a little bit for her mad skillz…but still SO WORTH it.)
Not Bad for a Podophobe (Flip Side 2/52)
Then again…maybe it’s because I’m a podophobe…I cover them up 🙂 This week is my cover those nasty feet edition…with some of my favorite ways to do just that…

*The every day comfort of sneakers….
Sexy Hawt
*My new boots…I’m in LOVE.
Daily Dosing of Hawt.
My every day boots…love them in their own way.
En Pointe
I admit – it’s been a while since I wore these (at least in part because they no longer fit after babies…I need to go up half a size, but they cost monies)…but I had to put them on again. I still love them.
**** Head on over to check out who else is flipping out:
Love…Me.
(*Totally stole this post idea from EMILY. In case you didn’t know…she is a GODDESS. No, really. The nicest soul you will ever meet. I want to be her when I grow up.)
* I have perfect non-plucked/waxed eyebrows.
* I have thin, but strong legs that look sexy in my new boots.
* I can bake a mean cake, cookie, cheesecake…whatever your sweet-tooth demands.
* In the past two years I have slowly expanded my circle of friends. While my BFF is still online, I have friends that I can go out for coffee or cupcakes with.
* I am good at crafting…and have several very unique pieces in my home because of it.
*~*~*~*~*
Sometimes you just have to reflect on what you love about yourself. Since I really don’t like Valentine’s Day…I figured I’d take Emily’s lead and do this post.
Yes. I’m serious. I don’t like Valentine’s day. Ordered my hubs not to do a darn thing and meant it.
So, wherever you are. Whatever you’re doing. Enjoy your day. Remember that no matter who is or isn’t in your life…there is always someone very important to love. YOURSELF.
Now tell me what you love about yourself!! I want to know how beautiful you all are…and that you all know it!!
