Someday, Schmetterling

"Someday, I will be a beautiful butterfly, and then everything will be better."--Heimlich in A Bug's Life.

Wanted: Lovin'

Yeah, I want some loving right now. Luv-in. Hugs and cuddles. Live reassurance. Understanding. Someone call Temple Grandin so she can build me a hugging machine.

Thoughts from the Last Few Weeks

Oh, neglected blog, thrown over for newfangled social media and real-life pursuits. I am back.

Here's what I've been thinking about lately.

The whole "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" thing, being a grown-up with no family obligations (looming fears of aged, disabled parents not withstanding)
The next career move, purpose, vocation, virtue, or not.
How we value and do not value working with our hands
Time management
Knitting
Sewing
Researching hair care and hair styling techniques
How learning to care for my hair could be a metaphor for finding a career and life that's right for me.
How I'm just not that into make-up
Rebuilding my wardrobe
How I love hiking, leaves, sunshine, and all that outdoor shit.
If I could do anything and be guaranteed not to fail...
How to be middle-aged.
How I'm still not so excited about men who are 15 years older than me
Middle-aged people need to floss and brush more often.
Sugar
Pudding, and lots of it
