Musings of an irreverent blonde girl

I have a theory. And this theory is that Men just don't understand. Let me tell you a story. Yesterday at work, I was talking to my friend Yvonne about how my good friend and her family are probably going to move abroad and I suddenly was completely overwhelmed by emotion.  If you're a woman, you know the feeling.  I knew the next words coming out of my mouth would be wavering.  My eyes started to well up.  I couldn't even exactly express why I felt so MUCH at that moment, but it was a lot.  It was everything...my friend moving away, my friends and I not seeing each other as much, our lives moving onward and apart.  But mostly, it was hormones. On my way home a little later, my parents called to say hi.  "How was your day?"  My mom asked.  "Well...I don't know.  I felt down today."  I told her.  "I found out that my friend is probably moving abroad and, I don't know...I just suddenly got really sad about it."

Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve written.  Now that I’ve been on vacation for one full week, I feel like my brain has calmed down enough to allow me the time and space to actually reflect.  Reflections on Weddings: Here is what I think.  I had every intention of being the best wedding planner of all time.  I mean, all I do at work is plan out projects and execute them, so how hard could it be?  The problem is that there is no practice for wedding planning.  Hopefully, you only ever plan for one wedding, so when you do it, it’s your first and last time.  I feel like my wedding was just about as perfect as it could have been.  I have no complaints.  However, in retrospect, there are many things I would change about the planning process itself.  Anyway, I don’t feel like doling out advice.  There are too many websites for that.  I will simply say the following things: 1) The Knot website is poorly designed and d...

I watched the Nancy and Tonya documentary last night and was completely sucked in.  I even followed it up by watching some other documentary called 30 for 30 or something like that on Netflix about the same situation only completely from Tonya's point of view. There was a point during the documentary where I was watching Tonya perform her gold medal performance at worlds; the one where she landed the first women's triple axel in competition, and I thought suddenly, "Tonya Harding couldn't do that now."  Now, Tonya Harding lives in some town somewhere and is a landscape architect.  They had a whole segment where they showed her chainsawing down trees and she was like, "I'm completely happy with my life.  I like working with my hands!"  She was overweight and pasty and had just awful clothes.  They showed her singing karaoke at a bar and she sounded absolutely horrible, which also made me seriously question Tonya Harding's personal judgement in th...
