Learn to choose fleeting annoyance over unbridled anger if I absolutely have to give in to negative emotions
In a further effort to never be like my parents 2 weeks ago

Being angry doesn’t solve anything and it’s certainly not the best emotion to foster. I think this will help tremendously in becoming the best version of me.



write thank-you cards to all the lovely ladies who made my bridal shower/bachelorette party such a fabulous event
When you have friends who are as amazing as mine, they deserve to know it 3 weeks ago

One of my maids of honor and her amazing mother helped orchestrate my bridal shower last week, and a bunch of us spent the night bar-hopping our way through NYC until four in the morning. I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with so many of my girl friends, so it was such a fantastic experience to have so many of my favorite ladies in one place.

They also spoiled the hell out of me with gifts, which warrants an army of gushy thank-you cards being sent to all of them. The whole day just reminded me how lucky I am to have the best friends and a great adopted mom, and I really want everyone to know how grateful I am.



finish everything in my "to read" pile (read all 12 entries…)
The stack keeps growing! 3 weeks ago

I can’t walk into a bookstore without finding something I have to buy, so the to-read shelf is getting a little daunting these days. But I really can’t say that I mind at all.
