When I'm not sporadically posting here, I'm over at Prose Over Bros or Beat Treats (my music blog).

If you love two people at the same time choose the second one because if you really loved the first one you wouldnt have fallen for the second.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh

Don't forget about books

Went to a second hand bookstore today and purchased wonderfully worn copies of Slaughterhouse Five (Vonnegut) and Hamlet (Shakespeare). Very excited to finally read both.

Remember,

You are the rule, not the exception.

That's all there is to it

You don't have bad luck with men or relationships, you have poor taste.

Insults used to be so classy

Ladies, take note

Kindness begets kindness

From "How to treat others" by Unknown

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "50¢," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "35¢!" she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

We have our whole lives ahead of us

Sometimes people change so we can learn to let go.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together.

Why do I post bits of this Marilyn Monroe quote so much? Because it is so true and it is so relevant. I'm moving on and moving forward and better things are coming together.

I’m about to do all of the things I dreamed of and
I don’t even miss you at all
