My Soundtrack

Sometimes…when I’m feeling reflective and a little silly, I imagine what the “soundtrack” of my life would be.
Yeah…I know it’s corny…and I don’t care.  At all.
In all seriousness, music has always been important to me, and I’ve always been fascinated with the way that a really good song can embody one emotion entirely.
So…today…I give you [...]

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 [...]

My Favorite Conversation of the Day

Me… “I need a distraction.”
Her… “You do…you really do.”
Me… “I prefer my distractions to be tall, dark, and handsome.”
Her… “Indeed.”

So There I Was…Car Key Edition…

A few weeks ago I went on a super-fun camping trip with a friend.  We drove, we camped, we made fire…it was four days of wild Alaskan goodness. 
And on the fourth day we returned home to my sister’s house.  (We were staying at the sister’s house due to my current lack of…a house.) 
We unpacked the [...]

A Post With Uncomfortable Words

I sent the following via text message to a friend this afternoon…
“Romantic comedies = Emotional porn for single women”
Now, I would like to mention here that I hate the word “PORN”.  There are certain words that just bother me.  I also hate the word “CRABBY”.  I have a friend that hates the word “PANTIES”.  And [...]

Current Actions

Well…Current actions indicate that I’ve lost my flippin’ mind.  Some might argue that I never started out with much sanity…but I assure you that I’ve inexplicably lost what I had left. 
Let me explain.  Prepare yourself.  This could be…ahem…embarrassing…
For me, not you.
Situations of late are such that I feel that I am ready for a relationship.  [...]

Diet-Related Realizations

I realized something this weekend.  It’s profound.  (Obvious sarcasm inserted here.)
No matter how long I diet…  Regardless of the amount of miles I walk, challenging hikes I take, or hip-rolls I do in pilates…  If I count calories, points, fat grams, or carbohydrates…
I will always have the face of a vintage Cabbage Patch Doll. 

And, you [...]

Things I Don’t Like

Sometimes when I’m having blog related writer’s block…I make a simple list of things I’m loving at the moment and post it.  Sometimes I make a list of people…sometimes it’s a list of beauty products…sometimes even a list of restaurants.
I’m not in that kind of mood today.  I’m someone annoyed.  And pensive.  And sneezy.  But [...]

You know you are Alaskan when…

It gets above freezing and you turn on the AC in your car.
Seriously.  I did it yesterday.  It was 34 degrees.
