but I’m not trying to erase the character or experience on my face. I think I just want to wipe away other people’s bootprints! The only lines that are really bothering me are the frown lines and worry lines on my forehead—they get so much worse when I’ve been mistreated (not stressed, not overworked, but out-and-out betrayed).
Getting rid of these lines would be like throwing out the stuff a jerk ex-boyfriend left behind, or dumping the employee manual from a company that unfairly fired me. Plus, I want people to see how I feel now—not the leftover expressions of old griefs.
I’ve done my homework, but it will take a while to save and prep for this one. Something for the new year!

If I’m not careful, I can go all weekend without seeing or speaking to anyone. It’s not that I’m shy or that I dislike people, I’m just very comfortable with my own company and it doesn’t really occur to me to contact anyone. This intereferes with some good goals, like entertaining and falling in love.
I think a conscious effort to send a message, write a card or make a call every day will be good for me and good for my friends, too. I love people, I just need to show it more often.

Even if most of the new places are just bars with good happy hour menus! Portland has a lot more to offer, but I’m an indoorsy kind of girl who really enjoys her tucker (and a tipple or two).
I just spent a year-and-a-half with a boyfriend who never wanted to go anywhere or do anything that wasn’t directly related to his projects. That was a long stretch of pizza in front of the TV! Now that that’s over, I’m exploring again—museum exhibits, boutiques, bookstores, clubs.
It’s actually a lot of fun to keep this as a “must-do.” Must pay bills, must wash car, must check out that cute little shoe store I drive by every day…
