Man Oh Man

I’ve had occasion recently to be mad at men.
Men at work.
Men in my personal life.
Men I’m related too.
Men that make me mad.
Men that make me cry.
Men that make me wish I had decided to join a convent years ago.
I think you get the point. 
And, I’ve said some not very nice words about men in general. 
But [...]

Things Davita Likes

I like this movie quote…
“In the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you’re behaving like the best friend.” – The Holiday, Arthur Abbott
I like these shoes…
 

I like this weather…
 
I like this verse…
“”For I know the plans I have [...]

Petty

It seems petty during a time such as this to feel some of the feelings that I’ve felt today. 
(feel, feelings, felt, that seems horribly redundant)
But, alas, the pettiness or trivial nature of these feelings aside, I’ve felt things that have made me sad and questioning where my life is headed right now. 
And I think that [...]

The Year of ???

You may remember that late last year I declared my 29th year the “Year of Sexy”.
To say that I missed the mark from time to time while trying to find “my sexy” would be a vast understatement.  But, I suppose when all was said and done I certainly embraced it a bit more than I [...]

Status Quo

I feel like I’ve reached a time in my existence here where things are…shall we say…normal.
Meaning…I finally see what my life is going to be like in Dallas…and it’s good.
The first two months here were so much about surviving and keeping myself together that little time was spent simply “being”.
That seems to finally be changing.
I [...]

The Life of a Nomad

I moved out of my apartment in Eagle River at the end of July…exactly two months ago.
In the last two months I’ve slept in the following places… 
My friend J’s house when I was visiting Dallas.
My friend K’s house when I was visiting Dallas.
My sister’s couch.
My niece’s bed when she was out of town.
An air mattress [...]

Race for the Cure

Last weekend, on a day sandwiched between car shopping, work, and family time, I did something cool.
At the prompting of a friend (who is currently fighting breast cancer) I walked in the Race for the Cure. 
Saturday I (and 30,000 of my closest friends) walked (or ran in some cases) 5K and became part of the [...]

A Countdown, Birthday Edition

I like to count down to things.  I think this is probably because I am a numbers person and it’s easy for me to quantify things if I can assign a concrete value to it.  I counted down to my move to Texas for months.  At first the days moved to slowly but in the [...]

And here you go.

The past few weeks have been a real mixed bag of crazy.  And, really, I mean that in every sense of the word.  I’ve had physical pain, emotional pain, work stress, etc etc etc.  I’ve also had some sweet family time, a few adventures, and a lot of rest.  Rest is important.
Now that I’m (hopefully…knock [...]

As the world turns…and turns…

After writing my last post…things in my life got even more bizarre.  I won’t bore you with the details…but the important part of the story is that I’m fine. Bruised, sore, and exhausted emotionally and physically…but fine.
And, subsequently, a friend that can still love you after you total her car is someone to cherish.  But [...]
