30 Days of Content Challenge - Day 20

Here we are -- we're 2/3 done. THANK GOODNESS. Seems like now that we're in the second half, I'm super busy and I'm having trouble posting each day.

Tonight I have a NY Tech Women's Demo Night. You might be asking yourself -- Where is this taking place? I'll be hanging out in the NY FACEBOOK office. Yeah, this is real life. And it's awesome.

The weather here is fantastic this week. This sounds like a good thing, except that it's so baller that all I want to do is be outside. #lish

I'm currently feeling slightly overwhelmed with all of my new goals (both personally and professionally) I'm really pushing myself to make major changes all over the place -- I need to take some time tonight/tomorrow and break them down into manageable pieces. I am the kind of person who gets intimidated by the big picture and can have trouble taking things one step at a time.

I'm working on it.

If you know me, you may know that I have a tendency for, and an attraction to animals, especially ones in need. Well, yesterday, I was walking outside to do some work, and saw this bird...well not this bird, but one like it. As I walked by he didn't move, or flinch. As I bent down to check on him it seemed odd that he wasn't scared. So, I offered to pick him up and take him to get some water. Maybe he was parched, or just needed to cool down? What do I know? I offered a lift on my fingers, and he obliged. :) I, of course was thrilled! He eventually flew off, hopefully feeling much better. But afterwards one of my co-workers and I had a conversation about the fact that, because he was so pretty, he must have been a male. In the animal kingdom the pretty animals are usually male. They are the ones who have to prove themselves to the females for mating; very much unlike the human world. That led me to wonder if, the picture we see in nature is the picture God has actually intended for us. Have we twisted Gods true intentions for "the mating dance?" 1 Peter 3:3-4 tells women not to concern themselves with outter adornment such as braided hair, or jewels, but of the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. In a world where women wear the pants in families, and men are demasculated daily; where men aren't allowed to be men, and women shun the thought of gentlemanly help or assistance, I have to wonder if we have got this all backwards?? I believe that Men are supposed to be the heroes, the champions of their ladies' hearts. The ones who prove their worth in taking a woman's hand by their gentleness of heart, and strength of character, not the money they make, or how submissive and passive they can be to their woman's every whim and desire. Call me old fashioned, but I honor the proposal of the submissive woman. Submissive doesn't equal weak or pushover, it means that women take the roll of allowing the men God has created to come beside them, to be the men and champions God has called them to and created them to be. To me there is nothing sexier than a man whose sole desire is to honor, protect, and respect the women around him, no matter if it is his Mom, sister, friend, or bride. So, what do you think? Do we have it backwards? Are we doing it wrong?? Don't get me wrong, I love being cute, dressing up, and feeling attractive, but I wonder if we, as women, need to allow the men in our lives to do their thing to try to impress us, and show us just how good their dance moves are... ;)

30 Days of Content Challenge - Day 19

Some Mondays feel like Mondays. Some do not. This one certainly did. Add this to the fact that my body really doesn't want to be doing anything other than creating antibodies, and you end up with one heck of a Monday. I should be in bed. My wonderful roommate has already sweetly chided me for not taking care of myself. I'm currently en route to The Way Station (Brooklyn's Doctor Who themed bar) for an evening of trouble with my partner in crime. Or a cider or two at the very least! Push on Monday hard enough and it'll turn into Tuesday! ...right? (Any bets on how much I regret this tomorrow?) Bottoms up!

30 Days of Content Challenge - Day 18

I have been absolutely worthless today. Guess this week finally caught up to me. I've been sleeping off and on most of the day and it's not even 9 pm and I'm on my way to bed again soon. Hopefully I'm not getting sick. /fingers crossed

I've been working on my relationships lately -- I realized that I've been slacking on them and that I've been far too selfish. I need to give more attention to the people in my life that are so good to me.

If we're friends and I've been crappy to you, right now is probably the best time to call me out on it. Just sayin'.

Day 14

Ok, so this post is incredibly late, and over-due.  In between the madness of an algebra test, final, and getting sick, I haven't been going anywhere or posting about anything.  My sincerest of apologies.

So, ask pretty much any girl, and she will tell you that this is one of the mst romantic movies...ever!  Today I get the pleasure of watching it with my former roomie, and Jane Austin fanatic, Lindsay.

The first time I saw this movie, I didn't realyy like it that much...mostly because I didn't understand it.  It isn't like me not to be able to understand accents, I'm actually pretty good at it; better than most.  I'm a fairly boss lip-reader too.  Turns out, I didn't understand it, becuase I couldn't really hear it.  I'm actually partially deaf in both of my ears, worst though in my left.  I have a lot of scar tissue because of having tubes in my ears twice, so I guess that affects my hearing.  If I am trying to sleep, and something is too loud, I simply roll onto my right side, and the deafness in my left ear blocks out...I'd say...90% of the noise, and I'm soon in dream-land.  It has it advantages!

Anyways, back to the movie. 

Now that I have invested in surround sound and a better tv (no offense Linds!), I can actually hear the dialogue, and have fallen in love with this movie.  My favorite part is at the end where Mr.Darcy asks Elizabeth what he should call her when he is blissfully happy...Mrs.Darcy.  Mrs.Darcy.  Mrs.Darcy.  Sigh. :)

One day.  One day. :)

p.s- I know there are spelling errors in this post, but I can't scroll up to fix them...lame. ;-P  Again, my apologies.

30 Days of Content Challenge - Day 17

I am tired! Another great day of being productive! I've been a busy bee lately and today was no exception! I'm working on being a better friend/sister/daughter/human being. I had another wtf-I-live-in-NYC-this-is-so-awesome moment today. It actually happened while I was trapped underground waiting for the train. It was hot and unpleasant, but I'm so glad that I live here in my dream city and was able to experience it.

30 Days of Content Challenge - Day 15 - Opportunities

Used my free day yesterday. It was a good decision. I’m trying to loosen up and not be so uptight. Today I’m creating new opportunities for myself. I’m intrigued as to where it will lead me. “If you always do what you’ve always done, you'll always get what you’ve always got.”
