From Literally, Genevieve Clare...

This is so completely me....

Wherein we stumble upon a movie set in Washington Square Park...

• Me: Hey, can we stop and watch??
• Boyfriend: Oh that's nice of you to pretend that I have an option.
• Me: [Getting giddy and jumping up and down a little bit] What do you think it is?
• Bystander #1: Harrison Ford is in town filming a movie. Maybe it's that.
• Bystander #2: Gossip Girl has been filming downtown all day.
• Me: [surveying the scene] Oh my God.
• Boyfriend: What!?
• Me: OH MY GOD!!!!!
• Bystanders #1 and #2: What? Who is it??
• Me: That is Adam Sevani.
• Boyfriend: Who is that??
• Me: THEY ARE FILMING MOTHEREFFING STEP UP 3!!!
• [Bystanders #1 and #2 leave immediately.]
• Me: Babe, I'll die if they do a dance sequence. I will fall on the pavement and DIE. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
• Boyfriend: Oh sweet Jesus.

4th of July with my kitties!

I'm so very excited! My favorite holiday, and I'll be spending it with great family and friends playing down at my parents house.

My kittens are coming with me this time... I'm curious how they will deal with the trip. 7 hours in a car... Any suggestions?!

Amassing a Navy or Learning to Sail

I called my Dad today to whine about having to get knee injections (still trying to heal the destroyed knee), and he cheered me up telling me he is "amassing a small navy"... buying another boat.
The new boat is a sail boat, though, not a power boat! So now I get to learn to sail this summer! How exciting is that?! I think I'm heading there for July 4 weekend to lay on the boats, waterski, learn to sail, and watch fireworks from the water. Yay!!!

If you're thinking about birthday presents...

If presents for my birthday have been on your mind, might I suggest the following if you can find it:

Cameras and Shoes

I have a handful of new pairs of shoes of which I'd like to take a picture.
I'm still in the process of figuring out how many new shoes it takes to make a heart stop hurting... And I think documenting the process would be a helpful reminder of how many to start with next time.

Do you realize how much a picture of the newbies would make this post oh-so-much prettier!?

I really need a digital camera to manage this. The phone just isn't cutting it these days... Any suggestions?

Something to remember...

“I must learn to love the fool in me—the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.” - Theodore I. Rubin, MD

My sister's engaged!

Congrats to my little sister, Emily, and her fiancé, Keith!
