I'm Loving each second of life because I am constantly reminded that it is a gift that must be cherished and that "I" am only so lucky to be able to live,love,laugh and learn.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

So I got to thinking of things that people may not know about me or they think they know... I admire Jackie "O" Kennedy not only for her beauty, grace, intelligence and especially her style. I admire her for a whole set of other reasons that people may not know. I admire how she was a very private person and kept her personal life and things that mattered PRIVATE. How she triumphed time and time again, with her head held high. I have always believed that someone's TRUE charachter is revealed in their darkest hour and how they handle it speaks volumes. She never said that she was perfect but never talked about her faults, she bit her nails and concealed the bad habit by wearing the infamous white gloves and as a result it turned into a fashion trend. Up until Jackie lost her battle to cancer she stepped out in her extremely large black sunglasses (now known as the Jackie "O" glasses) with a class off her own.

Every Second Matters

Time is never on my side especially when it comes to work. It's been a long time since I've been puzzled by a story but today takes the cake. When people say "it's complicated" today's story truly was. Explaining how much money tax payers will be coughing up in a particular case that has a ton of twist and turns is CRAZY! But I'm glad that it's over and even though for eight hours my heart was leaping out of my chest... it was all worth it. Since everyday is a new day and there are millions of untold stories, it makes the business all the more addicting.

Shopaholic

The movie is FANTASTIC! Make sure you see it late at night or you will want to shop until you drop after watching this! When my boyfriend saw the previews he said that it reminded him of me. I protested and disagreed but after watching the movie I realized that there were similarities... but one thing is for sure I'm not in debt. But I do love to shop and when I do see shiny brand new things it does give me butterflies in my stomach and if I want it I will find the means to have it. I work hard and no long play hard like my college days so a good shopping trip is what I reward myself. Okay...maybe I do need to check into a shopaholic's meeting! Anyone care to join me?

Book vs. Movie

Hands down the book wins! This book got me through the heart break and made me laugh so hard I forgot to cry. The movie was decent but it didn't have the same spirit as the book and one of the harsh lessons I learned from the book is that "there is no exception to the rule". The movie didn't exactly stay true to that message. The movie makes me want to go out by a copy of the book and save it for when I have a daughter so we can sit together and go over the fundamentals of "he's just not that into you." This book should be given to every girl at birth with instructions: Don't waste your time sitting by the phone, playing games and trying to read all the signs...plain and simple he's just not that into you.

Love Sweet Love

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." - Carrie Bradshaw Sex in the City

When people ask how I know he is the one I always respond "he loves me more then I can ever love myself". Through all my different layers... he is there time and time again to pick up the pieces and encourages me to keep moving forward. I've had my fair share of the many different kinds of fish in the sea and I must say I finally found the one for me.
