Joy, Jamie and Little Lewie

Joy one of my dearest most beloved 

friends in the world had a beautiful little baby boy.

I finally was able to have a little visit with all of them.

Her husband Jamie (a musician) is just wonderful and 

Lewie is just so precious.  

Rea's Farmhouse

Ok, so i'm not even going to mention how long

Reagan and I have known one another.  But she and her

husband have been redecorating her Grandfathers old farmhouse 

and it is coming along so beautifully.  From the gorgeous view

of chocolate drop Mountain to her Great-Grandfathers 200 year old dining 

room table.  It's a house full of love and timeless antiques.

My little Supermen

I got the chance to watch my adorable little nephews 

for a few hours in Hendersonville N.C. while

mommy went to the doctors 

and the grocery store...by herself! 

I just love these two little supermen. 

but i'll always be a southern girl at heart...

I traveled home to N.C last week.  Why does it go so fast?

I missed Westchester though, i think the heat down there helped 

that a little.  It has me thinking if I could ever move back.  

I'm not sure I could,  haven't ruled it completely out yet.  I belong in the 

North East. It fits me, but i'll always be a southern girl at heart. 

Breakfast at the Mondrain SOHO

Had a lovely visit with an old girlfriend

for breakfast at the Mondrian Hotel Tuesday.

We laughed so much which is exactly what I expected.

I've always loved the glass dining room dripping

with chandeliers and flowers.  I've never really gone

in the Summer, it's always been Fall or Winter.

We has a delicious breakfast of mix berry's, Hen egg omelet

and the smoked salmon with chive cream cheese and homemade

scones.  It was just a delightful morning.

Im going to have a woe is me moment...then i'll be done.

I'm not one for silly top 10 ways to

do this or that, but, since these made me laugh

I thought I would cut and paste a few of them.

I don't know if there is a right or wrong way to getting

over someone you cared for.  I have reacted differently with all my breakups

and the timeline has been very different with them all.  However, 7 months and going

strong on this one, it sometimes seems it happened yesterday and

some days it's still as painful.  I'm happy one day, angry the next and sad

after that.  I'm getting whoop-lash from my own mood swings.

 I can find a way to occupy my crazy thoughts at times and

forget it ever happened "to me." 

I finally stepped out this weekend, for the EX Social Queen this

was a pretty big deal and I did have to be coaxed just a little. Not

as painful as I expected It to be.  I guess what it really is-I don't

want to go through it all over again.  I thought I was done.  Meaning,

I was under the impression when I happily got engaged that I never

had to start over in this department.  share my life and story's with

another person.  Find that perfect dance I did so well with him with

another man.  I'm depressed impaired morose  exhausted just thinking about it.

I'm a very head strong individual who's a little too outspoken at times and I know what I want.

unfortunately, I cant have it right now.  I'm sure there is a more lady-like way

to say this, but this day by day shit is annoying as Fuck!

Here’s a couple easy ideas for when your love troubles

have you putting on your ice-cream-eating-pants.

Donate blood.  What?!?!  Who just became a super philanthropic amazing person that the whole world should worship for her selfless deeds???  You did!  Okay okay so you took 6 cookies and shoved them in your purse before asking for a second juice box but times are tough and since you no longer have a man to buy you dinners you’re going to have to get creative with your funds.  Nobody can blame you for being thrifty.

Go for a run.  And yes running from the cops definitely counts.  We get it.  You’re broke.  You’ve got nothing to lose.  And you were just joking when you told that bank teller to (and I quote) “Give me all your money lady!!!” (and pointed your fake gun at her)…how were you supposed to know she wouldn’t get your sarcasm.  It’s not your fault she handed over that big stack of 50s!  So go ahead and get your jog on…all that exercise will release some endorphins.  So will using that money to buy heroin but I would suggest using it for a gym membership instead.  Just a thought.  Run Forest Run!

Bake a cake.  Obviously I mean BUY a cake.  Eat it.  Isn’t that delicious.  Mmmmm…now go throw it up because you won’t be able to do number 6 if you keep eating all these cakes, fatty.  Hahaha just kidding!! You’re beautiful just the way you are and you know who is going to appreciate that???  All the hot guys who want to sleep (I mean value) you. 

Sleep with a hot guy.  Take pictures.  (As souvenirs, not to send to your ex, that would be pathetic and creepy).  If you can’t get a hot guy, sleep with a funny guy.  If you can’t get that, sleep with a moderately good looking guy with average intelligence.  Still can’t get one of those???  Okay well just try to fill one of the 4 major requirements.  Hot.  Funny.  Smart.  Rich.  Anything else and you’re just settling.  But that’s okay too.  Hurray for settling.  Is there any cake left???

Find a wingchick.  They can be hotter or funnier than you but not both.  And make sure they can say….”haaaaavvvvvvveeeee you met *insert your name*?” convincingly and with pizzazz.  If they need training, make them watch videos of How I Met Your Mother over and over again with you until they get it.  Make her aware that she’s Barney and YOU’RE TED.  She can get laid on her own time!  If she’s funnier than you, drink only diet sodas and eat fruit.  If she’s hotter than you go ahead and eat chocolate.  It’ll level the playing field.
