Today and tomorrow I’m 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. I’m so happy it’s back but sad and angry that I let anyone take it away for so long.
There’s so much I want to say about seeing the Dresden Dolls live last night, but I’m not sure where to start. For now, I’d just like to say it’s been such a pleasure to grow up alongside @amandapalmer She’s always inspired me, and here in our 40’s that hasn’t changed a bit.
Several years ago someone told me I “love hard.” 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 Mother’s Day, laughing with my kiddo.
As soon as I feel a modicum of satisfaction at having an incredibly productive day, it’s immediately replaced by guilt that I’m 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 didn’t have time to shop before we left. He bought 3 options (party dresses not wedding gowns) and returned the 2 I didn’t choose when we got back.
