At midnight, last night, I had “Sex” and it was GOOD! I have missed spending time with 4 of my favorite girls and it was great to see them again.

 Steph, Molly, Justin and I went to the midnight showing of Sex and the City: The Movie. Was it worth feeling so tired the next day? YES! Could I come up with thousands of ways to make it better? OF COURSE! Any true fan will want more and try to create it because we never want to let go. It was a great movie and I am glad to spend one more night with the girls.

The theme for the movie is love. It is true that when you are in love you will do things you never expected. Life changes when you are in love. You forgot about yourself and become a “we”.

Sometimes this “we” is more powerful than yourself alone and sometimes this “we” can cause you to lose the all important “me”. It is finding the balance that makes it work. I will not say it is easy to do so but it is just the ebb and flow of being in a relationship. If you are in love, you will make it work.

In the last month, I have been so surprised by the amount of people who admitted to me they do not use condoms. There were, of course, a list of excuses:

• My boyfriend doesn’t like condoms
• They make it feel less like love
• I am on the pill, I am fine
• But I love him…

But the worse excuse EVER is that I or He is embarrassed to buy condoms. Embarrassed to buy condoms? Why would you be embarrassed to buy them?

This is where you need to change your perspective on the idea of buying condoms. You are buying condoms because you are going to get laid! Why should you be ashamed? You need to walk up to the counter, set them down and smile big as the cashier rings them up.

Better yet, throw 2 boxes down there and let the cashier know it is going to be a busy weekend!

With all kidding aside, please be safe. There is nothing wrong with buying and using condoms. Don’t allow others to make you feel bad. They are just jealous cause they are not having sex like you!

Did you know it is legal to bully people in the workplace? Yes it is. Hostile working environment is a totally different situation than being bullied. It is OK for co-workers not to be nice or even bully you at work. You are not protected.

Even in our schools, we allow students to be bullied by their peers and teachers and administrators will not step in, even if they are aware of it, unless it becomes physical. BECOMES physical so once you are hit or stabbed then they will act to stop the violence not the bullying which could continue tomorrow.

When I was being bullied in school, all I wanted was one friends to stand up for me but it never happened. I just wanted one teacher to see what was going on and stop it but they didn’t.

So I have made a pledge to never let a bully get away on picking on others. When I see it at work, store, movies, or at a party I speak up. Why do I speak up, because remaining quiet makes me just as guilty as the bully.

Here is a great book to read about bullying. It will give you new insight on the topic:

The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander

Help me stop the bullys!

Justin and I went to brunch yesterday morning. While we are at the restaurant he decides he wants to have Celery flavored soda to drink. Of course I can not imagine why anyone would ever want to drink this.

I give him a look and ask why would you want to drink that? He replies,”Why not?”

That is something that is great about Justin. He is always willing to try new things. He rarely ever gets the same thing to eat (except at Starbucks where he gets his venti iced white mocha no whip with an extra shot) or drives the same way home. He loves to explore and see new things. He was excited to drive on the new strip of a local highway and he loves to drive through new neighborhoods.

It is all about being open to opportunities. He isn’t afraid to try new things because he knows if he doesn’t like it, he can get something else. He isn’t afraid of the what ifs or of change. He embraces it and always finds new things he loves.

What if we, just once a week, chose to live outside our box? What would we discover, what new favorites would be found, and what new adventures would be able to share?

After brunch, I asked Justin what did he think of his soda and he said it was good. Not sure he would get it again but he was glad to try it. Then he stopped walking and looked at me all excited and said, “This should so be a blog entry!”

This week’s questions:

If you could have one person from history live his or her full life over again, starting now, who would you pick?

I think we need a strong leader right now so I would go with Abraham Lincoln. Someone needs to get the US back into shape. We need someone we can believe in who will make strong, tough decisions to move us forward.

If you could have witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?

I would like to see the pyramids being built. I think that would be fascinating. It would be great to see how they made it happen. They are still standing today so that just adds to why it would be interesting to witness. Also Stonehenge would be great to see being built as well. I think just being able to witness something that is still fascinating in today’s age plus being able to answer those unanswered questions.

If one of your parents was to be a famous person from any time in history, who would you want them to be?

Everyone would want their mom to be Kathy Hilton so you could just run around town, being slutty, doing what you want and never having to plan for the future because it is all set. I would hope she would name me London and not Paris.

Honestly I would never switch my parents. They do great things for me so why trade them?

if you could receive one small package this very moment, who would you want it to be from and what would be in it?

Wouldn’t it be great if someone sent you a winning lottery ticket for a HUGE jackpot. That would be a great gift!!

It would be cool to get it from someone who was dead. Like a secret from the grave. Would be so freaky but at the same time so cool. Just not a weird gift. Something that would make sense and just be perfect for what you needed in life. Something that just gave you the empowerment to achieve one of or many of your life dreams. Who knows?

It could just be chocolate. That would still make me happy.

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?

Taking the time to truly listen to someone is such a great gift. I know my day is full of hectic thoughts, plans and distractions. It is very easy for me to pretend to be listening when really I either thinking about something else or planning out what I am going to say when it is my turn.

Listening requires you to just be in the present, stop thinking of anything else except for what the person is saying verbally and nonverbally.

I challenge you this week to commit to take the time and truly listen to someone you may have been ignoring lately. Maybe a good friend who stories seem to run long. Maybe your mom, dad, grandmother or sister. Maybe a co-worker who just wants to share their life with you.

Give it a chance to show you care and to help you develop this important skill of listening. Being a great listener can make a real difference in your personal relationships, your career and your life.

One of my past relationships was going on 2 years when I ended it. I ended it because through the time together we just didn’t have the trust I felt a relationship should. Yes, it was me who was having the trust issues and he felt I was silly. He had a very hard time with me ending the relationship but I knew it was for the best.

It wasn’t until a few months later that I found out some of the reasons why my intuition was telling me to be careful. He was using my personal identity which he opened a 2 credit cards in my name, he completed a student loan application and signed me a co-signer, used one of my personal credit cards to make random purchases, and many more awful financial situations.

This not only cost me money, but time trying to correct this situation and emotional stress feeling so used and betrayed by someone who was my partner in life and welcomed into my family as I was in his. It took months to clean up the mess and to get my life back on track.

It would have been so easy for me to become bitter and hate life but I didn’t. Sure this was a horrible situation to be in but I learned. I also knew that I would get the money back, I knew I would mend my broken heart and I knew life would be better than it ever was.

And it did. I just had to believe in myself. Yes I was knocked on my ass but I got myself back up, wiped the dirt of and kept on moving towards my goals and my dreams. It wasn’t worth letting this experience keep me from living my life.

I was in line at Starbucks and behind me was a mature couple who I would assumed had been married for a very long time. They were talking to each other about friends they had just visited. At one point in time, the gentleman said something negative about one of the friend’s houses. His wife immediately said to him, “Don’t be an asshole!”

I laughed a little when I heard this. After I picked up my drink and headed to my car I started to think about what she had said. It was so simple, “Don’t be an asshole!” Isn’t that the perfect way to live your life?

We spend so much time thinking about how to treat people, sweet sayings to explain to us why we should be nice, and of course the reminder that what goes around, comes around. But couldn’t we just let it all go and remember that simple phrase, “Don’t be an asshole!”

Maybe then we wouldn’t make fun of the overweight girl in class. Maybe then we wouldn’t make fun of the older person at work who can’t work the copier, maybe then we wouldn’t call the shy boy a wet blanket when he doesn’t want to go out drinking, maybe then we wouldn’t call the gay guy a fag because he seems different to us.

Don’t be an asshole!

As most of you know by now, Desperate Housewives season finale was on Sunday and in the end of the 2 hour episode we were given a look into their future in 4 years.

This got me thinking about what my life would be like in 4 years. I started to daydream and wonder:

• What would my house be like?
• How will my career be?
• What would have changed?
• How will friendships have grown?
• What will my relationship be like?
• How will I spend my free time?
• What dreams would I have achieved?

Now that I was able to spend sometime thinking about the future I have to start taking action to make it happen. How do I do that?

Well I have a vision of what I want it to be. I just need to keep the vision in the forefront of my life. I need to make sure I make my choices, decisions and actions to move me forward to know I want in 4 years.

I have to take my dreams and move them into reality. Easier said than done? That is what I am here for. To help other’s achieve their dreams by moving them into reality. All you have to do is ask…

This week’s questions:

If you could be sculpted by any artist in history, who would you choose?

Who wouldn’t pick Michelangelo? After his great work on his “David ” and “Pieta”, you know the sculpture would be beautiful. It would be cool to say he did it as well.

If you were to have your entire wardrobe designed for you by a single clothing designer for the rest of your life, who would you select?

Tom Ford! I loved what he did with Gucci and I love his own brand now. I feel he is so talented and so realistic. He always walks the talk. He dresses exactly how he designs and I would love to look like that. Besides the clothes, he is very polished guy and very handsome. I can take a lot of tips from Tom Ford. I also have a feeling he would be a lot of fun to work with.

If you were to be stranded forever on a desert island and could have only one book to read, which would you want?

Well, it depends on the type of book. i would prefer a blank journal and pen. That would be the perfect thing for me to have on the island. It would allow to write and create anything I wanted using my mind. It would be a nice escape.

If it had to be a book, I would want it to be quite long. Something I would find entertaining and it would keep me engaged for sometime. Maybe the Vampire Chronicles but I already know what is going to happen. Maybe I would look into another set of books that I haven’t read as of it so I wouldn’t know the ending. Any suggestions?

If you could say one sentence to the current pope, what would it be?

“Change is good.”

Those are my answers for this week’s questions. What are yours?
