30 Days of Blogging - Day 3: AFOMFT, Driving

Say hello to my new type of post:
A Few Of My Favorite Things

Today's Episode: Driving

I love, love, love driving!

I love short drives, and road trips, and taking the long way on purpose!

I love driving standard and feeling the car attached to my feet!

But even more than just driving (okay, not more, but very close to the same, which is to say, a LOT) I love the things that happen in the car.

Some of the best conversations I've ever had have happened in the car. Seriously, I love in the car talks.

Music sounds different. And I usually like the things that stand out differently in the car. (Not to mention I am unashamedly a belt-it-out-in-the-car singer which probably helps.)

The camaraderie of road trips, and travel buddies, and the car filled with everything but the kitchen sink and feeling so cozy until you get out and realize how tightly you were packed in, then feeling so weird when you re-enter until a couple kilometers down the road when you've finally settled back in. (Lather, rinse, repeat at every stop.) (Just me?)

I also really enjoy watching vlogs where the person is just talking in the car. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do. Almost enough that maybe someday I'll try it. Who knows?

But mostly I really love being behind the wheel. I'm savoring this joy of my singledom and the liberty it gives of allowing me to always (or at least, frequently) be the driver. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find a guy who doesn't mind taking turns ;)

But now it's certainly bedtime and I must go dream of road trips with a vague manshape. Will he be in the passenger seat sometimes? We'll see :D

Goodnight, Lovelies!

So... How've you been?

Hello lovelies!  It occurred to me today that I have been neglecting my poor little blog! To make up for it, here is another  Random Things  post :) Thing One:  Movies!!! So many movies coming out in November that I want to see!! Off the top of my head... Big Hero 6, Mockingjay, and The Imitation Game. I know that's only 3, but considering a that a typical month has maaaybe one, I think it's impressive. Such a random spread too! I feel like it gives a pretty good insight into my personality... you've got the love of disney/animated/adorable, the gotta-see-how-well-they-adapt-this-book-why-are-they-making-it-two-parts-that-seems-unnecessary, and the nerd in me wanting to see 1) Benedict Cumberbatch, and 2) the history behind the one of the coolest set of code-breaking nerds ever!  I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it...etc.). Thing Two:  Singing in Public I'm not sure how I missed this about myself before, but it has come to my attention lately that I

Letters to Anxiety

Edit from the future for some context: Summer of 2015 I learned that I had been living with undiagnosed anxiety. And not just for a few years, but likely for my whole life. To say that the coping mechanisms that I had learned in those 25 years were "bad" is a significant understatement. It took me 3 years from this point to learn enough healthy coping mechanisms to -start- to tip the balance in the right direction, and another 2 years before I stopped using "failure" as a label for myself. Of all the posts on this blog, this one is the one I've wanted to delete the most. Just look at it! It's so cringey!! But, for better or for worse, I've decided that it gets to stay. It was an honest moment in time, and I don't have the heart to hide it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey Anxiety, You suck. Sincerely, Me P.S.

Dear Love, About Boxing Day...

I haven't blogged in months. This is mostly because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety in this time and had the (decidedly disabling) thought that if I blogged at all, I should write about anxiety... Turns out that it is kind of anxiety inducing to write about anxiety. So I'm cutting myself free of that for now and I'm sure I'll write about it eventually, just not when it's a "should" write about that, but instead a "want to" write about that. I'm going to write instead about something very currently important. Dear Love, I need to talk to you about Boxing Day. Yes, December 26th. It's on a Saturday this year. (It's not important that it's on a Saturday, I was just pointing it out because I'm nervous.) So here the thing... Boxing Day is a big deal for my mom's side of the family; it's a big family reunion and all that jazz. And, well, I was kinda hoping you would be able to come this year. BUT th
