Day Off

I'm sitting on my new couch (my first big girl purchase) painting my nails, reading my backed up pile of magazines, and listening to Lady GaGa on my record player. No, she's not as great on record as Carly Simon but I'm afraid of playing that record to shreds.

At must listen to for every girl!

It's a phenomenal way to spend a much needed day off. These are rituals that I completly forgot about and/or take for granted. I remember the days when a new magazine would come in the mail and I couldn't wait to devour the pages. I'd dog-ear or rip out the things I wanted buy or might try. Now I quickly skim through them on my kindle at work or leave them in a pile somewhere around my apartment collecting dust.

My shameful dusty pile of magazines

 I'm not going to lie, I have to be in the right mood to read magazines. Mostly because skimming through the pages of things I can't afford and women I will never look like kinda turns a bad mood into something involving tissues and tons of fancy cakes. When I read a magazine and I'm in a great mood it's a reminder of what I can be. I learn ways to become the best person I can be. Contrary to what many think, it's not always about beauty, fashion, and how to have the best sex possible. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that. Magazines are full of people who inspire me. I'm sure that if you weren't into fashion or things of that nature they wouldn't have the same meaning to you, but to me, it's a look into a future that I want to have. Yes, there are discourging things such as models and actresses too skinny to see or as I look to my left right now an absolutly georgous coat by Burberry Prorsum that is worth more money then I make in months.

Swoon!

 But it's a goal (not the skinny thing), being able to buy a coat like that. Yes it's extravigant, and maybe crazy, and for a lot of people a waste of money, but to me it's like buying art I can take every where with me. I dirgress. Today reminds me of the things I truly love. It reminds me what I want to be and to work harder and take risks for my dreams. To not take something like being able to paint my nails and listening to records for granted. It reminds me to not come home every night after a long day of work and just flop into bed. It encourages me eat up every ounce of inspiration and knowledge I can possibly take. It reminds me to silence the little wet blanket in the back of my mind and to start busting my ass on this blog and get it in front of everyone and anyone who is willing to read it. I hope you all enjoy readying it as must as I enjoy writing it and clicking that litte "Publish" button. Thank you all for reading it! (Even if it is just my mom)

DONE!
