Back in Action!

Holy 2012, I’m back! I’m probably writing this little diddy to an empty blogosphere, as I committed the cardinal sin of blogs….and abandoned my little space for a long 4 months. Whoopsie daisies! But believe me, I was so uninspired over the last few months, you probably would have gotten tired of my drivel and left me anyways! (Yes, I said drivel, I happened to replace blogging with reading more…don’t I sound smarter?!)

I have so much to catch you up on… but for now check out my outfit today! Sacramento weather has been super weird lately, read: freezing my booty off in the morning and night, and sweating balls during the day under my heavy peacoat and sweater tights. This leads to a serious wardrobe predicament, and I for one refuse to sacrifice fashion for comfort! I think today’s choice was a super comfy happy medium…

Dress- Forever 21 (ages ago);  Jacket- Heart Boutique;  Boots- Coach; Bag- Kate Spade

Spring Awakening

Lately I’ve been dealing with a serious case of the ‘holy bananas its spring and pretty soon I will have to put this white blob of a body in a bathing suit and oh my gosh I don’t own any cute clothes and my hair is full of split ends and all I want to do is lay in bed with booboo and grover and polish off the bag of salt and pepper potato chips I have hidden behind the stack of ‘intellectual’ books that I told myself I would have finished reading by now.’ It’s the annual acknowledgement that a whole year has passed since my last spring awakening, and honestly I have accomplishment maybe 2% of the goals I had set for myself.

Let’s face it folks, I have ZERO self restraint, if the bf wants to eat at SPIN Burger one night, and the next day my coworkers want to go to lunch there…I simply switch up my order and wham bam thank you ma’am, I am full on chowing down back to back burgers and fries (and maybe a Nutella and burn’t marshmellow shake, cuz those things are the bomb.com).

I cannot tell you how many times I have planned to lose those last 30 lbs before my next vacation, or promised my bank account that I would start socking away 25% of every paycheck.

There is always a Round Table coupon that needs to be spent or designer purse on Gilt that needs to be purchased.

It’s just who I am.

Put it this way, today, while running a work errand with my coworker, we realized that I had on one brown shoe and one black shoe. My first instinct was to run and hide! I was mortified…how could I have made such a mistake, I mean, don’t real adults check their shoes before they go to work? Don’t real adults wake up more than 30 minutes before they have to physically be at their desk and get dressed in actual light? With one slip up, it seemed like everything I had felt good about throughout the day slowly melted away, and there I was, faced with my dual hued kitten heels, frizzy hair, spiky legs and smudged eyeliner….the epitome of imperfection and disaster.

And then, a funny thing happened.

She laughed.

Our giggles melted away the disappointment in myself, and I quickly realized how ridiculously I had reacted. I am not perfect, no one is, we all mistakenly eat a jar of pepperoncinis before a date or forget to put on deodorant on every once in a while.

We are humans and I am so thankful for God’s little reminders of that !

La Regazza Pazzesca

As I pull my laptop out from under my bed, dusty from months of abandonment and my refusal to even look at a computer after the hours of 6pm and certainly never on a weekend, I get the sudden urge to abandon my plan. Am I foolish? Who would ever care about anything I have to say? Do I really want to be that girl who thinks her blog is ‘special’ and insightful, when all she really does is brag about life experiences she has clearly never had, and boyfriends she has conjured up in her daydreams? The answer to all of the above is a resounding, heck. to.the.n.o…..


But I’ve done it anyways, I have finally jumped off the deep end of the social media cliff and accepted my generational calling as a hhhhhaaaaaaaa….gasp….another gasp…..blogger, or as I like to refer to it, a blogette. For months now my coworkers have been trying to convince me to join their ranks and claim my own little piece of e-real estate, and for months I have informed them that my life is not either a. nearly as interesting as theirs’ b. while they may have the sass and wit of a youthful and much better looking Chelsea Handler, I on the other hand can barely tell a knock knock joke without confusing myself, and c. I am already 100% dedicated to facebook as my only form of social media involvement, with the occasional Twitter cheat, I don’t think I could sacrifice my facebookage time.

With the recent move, or as I like to refer to it….desertion, of my boyfriend, Michael, to SF to start his much anticipated studies as a dental school student, I have been left in SacTown with nothing to cling to at night but Boo Boo and Grover (my much loved stuffed animals from baby-hood) and my hot pink bottle of pepper spray….you can never be too prepared when living in hippie-chic, bum-filled midtown. I hope it’s becoming clearer to you about why I have embarked down this foolish road…long distance boyfriend+ too much free time/abandonment of all senses=blog.

In addition to this desertion...i mean, recent move/huge change in my life, I have just passed up my one year anniversary of working and living in Sacramento. The one thing I will never gripe about is how lucky I am to work where I do and how thankful I am that my coworkers have become a quasi Sacramento family for me, but of course with any milestone it is hard not to reflect on the possibilities of what could have been.

While I’ve been blessed with a job right out of college that I absolutely love, sometimes it’s hard not to wonder what if?…..what if I quit my job and joined the traveling circus, after all if you catch me early enough in the morning, pre CHI and concealer, you may concur that I could easily be classified as ‘circus freak’….what if I had followed my dreams and become a Disney princess, specifically Belle, and didn’t have to wear my costume behind closed doors, but was free to prance down Main Street USA hand in hand with Mickey Mouse….what if I had pursued my childhood obsession with Dinosaurs and had become a Ross-from-FRIENDS-esque professor…with those life options clearly behind me, I guess there was nothing left for me to do but to blog.

And so I’ve come here, abandoned by my boyfriend and struggling with a quarterlife crisis. I warn you, I’m a lot to handle right now, just ask Michael, if this blog is really going to reflect my life, be prepared to enter a rollercoaster of insanity. But if you choose to accept me and all of my blogging deficiencies, I promise not to be that girl who thinks that just because she’s seen sex in the city she is qualified to give cute and perky relationship advice, or the chick who lives to make sure anyone who reads her posts is aware of how overwhelmingly fabulous she is. No, if you are interested in my blog I will promise you sensationalized random stories, emotional tirades, lots of rambling, and of course the obligatory craft/recipe/vacation photo op posting, after all this is my life in a blog and as far as I’m concerned it’s all va bene.
