#250; the year of doing things

Last week I wrote about my ‘sort of Resolution’ to cut toxic people out of my life. Later that I night I had a few drinks with those friends who enrich my life in ways I can’t even count and who are helping me through a rough time here in Boston. After the first round of Jäger bombs, we labeled such friends “Crayolas” (beause they’re like the non-toxic crayons, which made a lot more sense to me when we came up with it), and the title’s stuck. And so, with the Crayolas (I really want to start a band called that, btw), I’ve resolved to have an awesome year. I’ve resolved to try something Boston-based best friend Kat is called the Game Plan of Conversion. Because neither of us make New Years resolutions, we’ve got the Game Plan. Mine involves taking advantage of Boston and spending as much time with the Crayolas (and Boyfriend Piece, of course) as possible.

#247; Friday I’m in Love

It’s the first Friday of the new year (how much better does twenty-twelve sound compared to twenty-eleven, by the way?), and it’s been a hell of week to kick off the year, let me say. Between massive work projects on very tight deadlines, some amazing stuff coming up with the Greater Boston Young Dems, and a big family visit in two weeks – I’ve had my hands full. And so, to unwind and give myself the smallest break, I bring you Friday I’m in Love, because there’s always something lovely to focus on amidst the chaos.

#246; an introspective on limbo

2011 was a year. It was a year that I’m having a hard time explaining. Part of me feels as if things that happened only this year were in another lifetime entirely.
