Today and tomorrow Iโm looking at the art I want to see, shopping in the stores I like and sleeping in a ridiculously fancy hotel because I can. When the opportunity arises to treat yourself as well as you treat others, take it!
@Defunctland Exchange City. I was the bank manager, the highest paid job in town. All I did was approve credit cards all day and was so busy I worked through lunch.
Thanks to a major change in my life situation I am feeling my confidence returning after a 6 year absence. Iโm so happy itโs back but sad and angry that I let anyone take it away for so long.
Thereโs so much I want to say about seeing the Dresden Dolls live last night, but Iโm not sure where to start. For now, Iโd just like to say itโs been such a pleasure to grow up alongside @amandapalmer Sheโs always inspired me, and here in our 40โs that hasnโt changed a bit.
Several years ago someone told me I โlove hard.โ It felt like an accusation & I blew it off. But as I tend to yet another heart-break (the loss of a beloved pet) I think, what a beautiful thing to love so fully & freely. Even when it hurts.
Saw @SteveMartinToGo & Martin Short live at Foxwoods this evening. Bucket list show for me and a lovely way to spend Motherโs Day, laughing with my kiddo.
As soon as I feel a modicum of satisfaction at having an incredibly productive day, itโs immediately replaced by guilt that Iโm not like this all the time. I hate my brain.
@clhubes When my son was 3 I had to drag him by the ankles out of an indoor play structure whilst everyone in the restaurant looked on in judgement. 12 years later I still feel shame about that one.
@Katiew552 My husband actually did this for my wedding dress. We eloped to Vegas & I didnโt have time to shop before we left. He bought 3 options (party dresses not wedding gowns) and returned the 2 I didnโt choose when we got back.
