Heard on the radio this morning that the smell of pumpkin pie turns men on (as well as black licorice, buttered popcorn and donuts). For women, the smells included chocolate (no surprise there), lavender and…cucumber.
Cucumber?!
I’m too tired currently to look up the actual study to provide a source but it came out of [...]

From my favorite movie.
[When Harry Met Sally]
Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I’m saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets [...]

Sometimes I really dislike navigating the male-female terrain.

One of my girlfriends, whom I adore, tends to write songs about me and my love life (or lack thereof, depending upon when she’s writing ;)…or uses my life in general as a muse…she’s amazing…I’ll lay on the couch, she’ll sit down at my piano, and create something - for whatever mood I’m in (or [...]

[Jars of Clay's "Worlds Apart"]
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
To turn away and not [...]

I’m not going to write you a love song because you asked for it.

Oatmeal, a tad bit of brown sugar and dried cherries (and that’s it) is AMAZING.
Just for the record.

Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I wont need nobody else, no, no, no.
Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be [...]

I still feel the same
Though everything has changed
The pain it cost now
I feel lost inside of my own name
But I keep running
I am running
I keep living for the day that I’m with you
That I’m with you
The past has left its stain
Now I feel the shame
Ill seize the day
If you take away
The chains of yesterday
But I [...]

I hear “Christy you’re crazy” or “Christy, you crack me up” almost daily by numerous, sundry types.
;)
I wonder what it means… ;p

Indulge me…
(from facebook’s description of an INFP)
INFPs focus deeply on their values, and they devote their lives to pursuing the ideal. They often draw people together around a common purpose and work to find a place for each person within the group. They are creative, and they seek new ideas and possibilities. They quietly push [...]

I’m GOING TO SEE STEVIE WONDER IN JUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wahoo. =)
My sister Beth rocks.
Right now in life, especially, I have no energy or time to pursue concerts/events, etc., but she never fails to think of me, take care of me and get me tickets, etc. and once again, she blessed me by thinking of me and [...]

I went to bed at 6 p.m.; woke up naturally at 2 a.m. and forced myself to go back to sleep at 3:30 a.m., waking up at 7:30 a.m.
Wow. That nap turned out to be a little longer than I expected. ;)
I must have really needed it.

I just finished the primary cleaning up after a large dinner party and I’m looking forward to settling into the couch with a book and a good cup of coffee. (Yes, my worn, brown leather couches do engulf you, so you really must “settle into” them. =) They are fabulous couches. The kind people want to [...]

I left the window open last night, which explains why it’s 60 degrees in here this morning.
Brrrr.
Up at 7 a.m. to attend a breakfast. Yawn. I’d much rather be sleeping, especially since my students are coming over tonight and will probably be here until midnight-ish… It’s going to be a full day. :) I’m just [...]

Hello, world.
It’s a beautiful day. :)
This morning, was reading about Jesus’ first miracle. Turning water into wine, not only wine but the best wine.
My friend, Jonolan, posted this bit…it gets into a little about our ideas of God…who He is, what He looks like…and [...]

[Over the Rhine's "All I Need Is Everything"]
Slow down. Hold still.
It’s not as if it’s a matter of will.
Someone’s circling. Someone’s moving
a little lower than the angels.
And it’s got nothing to do with me.
The wind blows through the trees,
but if I look for it, it won’t come.
I tense up. My mind goes numb.
There’s nothing harder [...]

how does one live without music?
it is the beat of my heart.
when i don’t have a voice…it provides.
when i lose my beat…i can just let it move for me.
pulsating, rhythmic.
it speaks when i cannot.
it gives voice to the utterances of my heart.
it carries me when i can no longer walk.
-
thankful for friends.
you know who you [...]

In my line of work, working with people (not the paralegal side of things but the college student staff side of things :), it can be emotionally draining and physically taxing, and I’m quite frankly tired of juggling both jobs. I am close to being able to leave the firm…but until then, press on [...]

You’re such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You’re not like all of the others
And that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
