Spring Cleaning

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

It’s March Ladies! Spring is in the air. Out with the old, in with the new!

I was hoping to check in yesterday, but unfortunately I caught my son’s stomach flu and spent the night and day in the toilet. Fun stuff! It was great to take a total time out from my life, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (in between the bathroom visits). I watched my hunky Robert Pattinson on the View, who was just too weird to handle, but anyhow. I caught up on some Tivo, and even started watching The Reader.

But back to March. I love Spring and all its cleaning. In the next few weeks, I’ll clean out my garage, my cupboards, the kids closets, my closets and more. Actually, I have a funny story about spring cleaning. A few years ago, when I was working my LONG days at my company, we had a new nanny start with us. It was her first week on the job, and while I was working, and my son was napping, Miss Proactive took it upon herself to help me in a spring clean up. She started with my husband’s night table as she saw that area needed immediate attention. We didn’t realize she had actually cleaned it until we got into bed that night and my husband went to throw a receipt in his drawer, and saw his PLAYBOY MAGAZINE AND PORNO neatly organized in the top drawer!!! “Don’t tell me she cleaned out my night table!” he nervously asked. “Wow look at that! It’s so neat and great!” I replied excitedly. The short in the long being, without making my husband  look like a complete horn-dog, we had ended up with the porno DVD from a Chanukah party gift exchange (don’t ask), and the Playboy mag he had bought with me cuz he just loved the girl on the cover. It slips my mind now who it was… I think it was Denise Richards.

Becoming A Confident Woman of Action

Monday, March 1st, 2010

“Sometimes you have to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything – whatever is bringing you down – get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”

~ Tina Turner

I love Tina Turner and everything she stands for – confidence, tenacity, resilience, woman of action. If I asked you who you consider to be a woman of action, what would you answer?
Gloria Steinem? Oprah Winfrey? Hillary Clinton? Eunice Kennedy Shriver?

When I think about the woman I am and the woman I want to become, I realize that much work is to be done.  It’s true, I’m only 34, and I hopefully have many more years of life experiences and growth ahead of me, but I have such a thirst for knowledge and creating a better version of myself, it gets tiresome sometimes. I am constantly striving to achieve a life that’s meaningful, impactful, while still managing to have a kick-ass good ‘ol time in the process. It’s true that our life experiences help shape us into the person we are, but it is up to us to decide what version of ourselves we want to be in the future.
