Clean Slate.

Ok, I have just had a breakthrough. this blog was washing the whole horse at once. trying to rewrite the bible. bit off a little more than it could chew.

In the world of blog, my new years resolution is to try to see this as less of a massive statement about my human experience and more as a forum for the listing of random thoughts about my life. much healthier and less likely to induce feelings of doubt about self worth and competence.

spicy, i send this out to you, what do you think? we have two unique perspectives (nyc and dc) on life post lexington - year one - to offer to the world if we can only ground our immortal spirits long enough to write something comprehendable... (also not a real word). how do you feel about this?

for instance, i could write about today, a normal day in the glamorous, ever entertaining life of a washington resident.... today i went to a three hour meeting and said nothing. not one comment. i did eat my cosi salad faster than any one else in attendance though - we all prove our worth in unique ways, no? i also wrote six thank you notes by hand and had a relatively pleasant chat with the starbucks man this morning. (part of my '09 plan to be nice)

for the last four months he has not acknowleged that he sees me almost every week. but finally today after i said, "medium coffee" (i refuse to use the word grande... so nouveau riche) he said, "you always get that" (he sounded utterly saddened by my not wanting a grande non fat tazo tea rasberry cooler with splenda and an extra shot).

anyway, that is what has happened today. i am now going to yoga and then to home to sit and stare at my roommates because our television, internet and phone lines are nonfuncional.

i told you it was glamorous.
