"Just a warning that on April Fool's Day my natural distrust of others will be ratcheted up to a level bordering on psychosis".

I haven't felt much like writing lately...so much going on with work, life, relationships, living situations. THEN. I received this.

...An invitation for a friend's birthday. Which reminded me how much I L-O-V-E this site, www.someecards.com.

Goodbye productivity.

(Fo, thank you for reminding me I've become delinquent in my posts. I leave you with this, "Even when you're in the background, I'll always tag you in my Facebook photos")

Sleepy sleep.

Dear sleep gods,

Puh-lease let me sleep through the night for once. It's great waking up at 3am and all but I need some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Sincerely,

Me

Starbucks messages.

I'm so introspective these days.

Thank you Starbucks for slapping good 'ole #76 on my cup this morning...


"The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."
- Anne Morriss

Philosophies by philosophy.

One of my favs...

grace

how you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. and, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. in the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. it's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.

Gung hee fa choy!

No, I'm not talking crazy-talk. I'm typing Chinese..."Happy Chinese New Year!".

The first day of the Chinese new year for 2010 landed on February 14. Here are my two favorite things to do on the weekend of the Chinese new year:

1. Soup dumplings at Shanghai Cuisine in Chinatown, NYC

2. Followed by dessert (ice cream!) at Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

Another tradition? Don't wash your hair...for good luck all year.

Oh, and 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. Grrrr.
