Obsessions.

As I am in the rather painful process of moving, I find myself questioning why the hell do I have this much stuff. And after much deliberation, I sold half of my closet. Grant it I loved all the things I sold, I think that this is the perfect time in my life to start over. All this was brought on by an interview I read a few days ago, in fact it's the last interview that Mae West gave, months before her death. I actually broke down and cried. Maybe my terrible luck with men is really not related to luck at all. I have come to a conclusion that one must love themselves before anyone else can love them. And that's my problem, I am so uncomfortable in my own skin, that no wonder men don't love me either. I know it's silly, but to me it's a revelation. I'm re-vamping not only myself, but everything that surrounds me. My friends stay however. ( I have some of the best friends on this planet.) But from the body, to the close to the hair color everything is going. I've been hiding far too long, and it's time to shine. So now, There will be a weekly update on my progress of re-vamping my image. Twice a week I will post not only my progress but the changes I'm experiencing. From gyms to food to everything else that I'm figuring out along the way. And of-course fashion, knitting and beauty are all still

Return of the blog


Ok, so after a much needed ( ok not for this long) hiatus from pretty much everything, blogging included. I have started a new job, in the process of moving, taking 18 credits worth of classes and attempting to stay sane, that is a lot if you ask me. Le boyfriend is being sorta helpful with the fiasco of my life. He' trying, hard. I'm still in a HMMM phase on that subject. But moving on. A friend of mine has moved to town from Mother Russia, so I'm making time ( which is hard to come by these days) and taking him out on the town. LA really is an incredible city. Just the cultures and subcultures of all the areas! I went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles the other day... and now I totally understand why it has such a large following. I can eat that chicken for the rest of my life and die happy. It's Absolutely incredible. Just an old-school diner type of place, it just makes me happy to be there. Knitting is still on the slow side, but I'm getting a few cool scarves I started ages ago, all finished up. Photos are to follow. Kittys are good and healthy. We are now up to 5 .... yes that would be 5!!!!!! cats. I'm still not really sure WTF were thinking. But never the less, our newest addition is Tippy. She is one cool cat. a handful with a torpedo up her ass, but still darling.
I went home to visit the Parental Unit, and found a few awesome deals on Groupon to go shlep around the city a bit. Here are a few pics from my excursions.
