Flora in Winter

Jan
1 Comment »   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized

So this afternoon I went with my friend Bradley to Worcester Art Museum to check out the Flora in Winter exhibit, this year was its 8th year. Because the art is living, the exhibit only lasted 4 days.

The exhibit took place within the whole museum, it spanned replication of art into the form of living flowers from ancient art, to modern abstract pieces.  We finished in just enough time to enjoy the Shrewsbury High School Girls Choir and Greater Worcesters Unison of Strings Violin Ensemble.

A special job well done to Cathy Walsh (Sprout) on both her piece to replicate the Ceiling from a Domestic Room and the raffles piece shown above.

Overall everything was beautiful and ingenious.

Followed by yummy Falafel at Sahara .

Overall a great weekend :)

I love my friends- new and old!

Well last night driving home from Brighton decide it was after 10 and I was by no means tired and ready to retreat into my tiny apartment for the evening. So after mentioning I wanted to be out and about I headed to Fiddlers Green on Temple Street to hang and listen to Whiskey Rebellion and then we went over to the Greyhound (so finally went there after all this time) and then finished the night at the Dive. Ended up being a really fun night with some pretty cool people.

I then got up early this am and headed to RI to go with Jen to the Hope Artistic Village in Pawtucket. She had to bring some of her necklaces, domino bracelets and sniffers. Then we roamed around the very awesome indoor farmer’s market which I was very impressed, now I will need to go down to Pawtucket every Saturday :) Plus I love having time to my much wiser friend about life and getting my random messed up whatever back in prospective. I just dump everything I am thinking and wait for an answer back from her…and I usually listen..lol

Suppose to have plans this evening but between spending way too much money as of late and being a bit tired it is an evening in I believe with my kitties, clean up the house, do some other odds and ends I have put aside.

Gloomy Saturday I listen to Gloomy Sunday….

No- I don’t own a TV…..

Jan
2 Comments »   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized

Sometimes I have a hard time relating to other people. I have a bunch of things that do not align with the normal person. One huge thing is I do not watch TV. Since I was 17 I have had a TV for maybe four of those years because of my old boyfriend. During that time I do not ever remember even turning on the TV ever. It was his, he watched it and is something was one he was watching that I wanted to see, then I would watch. But I live pretty happily without one. I like movies, I like movies a lot. But sitcoms, reality TV or 99% of all TV dramas just bore the hell out of me.

So even if people think I am odd, oh well that is just me. :)

How do I change?

If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

My younger cousin is living like a rock star right now, he reminds me of me when I was in my early twenties before life absorbed most of my dreams. I say check out his page, I like his taste in things but right now I am living bi-curiously through a 22 year old guy :)

Transition

Jan
No Comments   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized, vegan

I am not going to lie- giving up dairy is going to be very hard for me. I love cheese and 90% of my meals end up involving cheese. But for health and ethical reasons I need to not eat it anymore.

So I am sure I will be blogging about the challenges of my even more restricted diet when it comes to eating out and cooking, two things I love. But part of me is thinking I need my “Last Supper” of something wonderful involving dairy. Maybe the Abbey’s Breakfast Slate or other wonderful cheese board. Maybe the Citizen’s Cheese and Chocolate boards that involve milk chocolate with divine cheese.  I will do it this time because I realized how my body feels when I eat things it does not know how to probley digest and if I need medication to make it digestible then it is not for me.

I know I have a few vegan readers and any suggestions to make this transition easier would be greatly appreciated.

I picked up a couple yummy new cookbooks this last weekend.. Can’t wait to start trying some new things…

Living..

Jan
No Comments   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized

I seem to be on this quest to remember what it is to truly live. Maybe in the mean time I tend to fool my own head into thinking I naturally know what is best, when really I know nothing. I guess being a guarded heartless bitch is not in my nature, well maybe it is.
What is living?

Can I find the answer within myself ? Can I find the answer within others? Can the simple answer be what I always thought it would be, to simply move, change my geography? Everyday I meet people who challenge my ideals, I love it. Everyday I meet people who I always feel are really living. When my idea of happy could just involve a good beer, Sammy Davis Jr and a quiet house.

I wonder if because I do not surround myself with other people all the time if maybe I am missing out on something. Will at some point I look back and regret that I led a somewhat secluded-private life. Well as private as I can be when I yak away on here about things. But here I am just some words on a page, I am not a real person. I could be a robot writing this and no one would know the difference.

Having no expectations for others allows me to pretend that sometimes they just don’t exist and suddenly the world shows up just as I am ready to pretend that the whole world is gone. I give few chances to others and my disappointment only transpires when I let myself be the tad bit vulnerable, I really should know better.

In the same breath that explodes with happiness in my life I have so much doubt that I am as good as many see me. But the feeling of being alive and allowing myself to be, open to life feels so fucking good.

Not sure what my rant is about or what is going through my mind at this moment. Just being….

Been thinking way too much about the fact that I am a LTR girl who is doing everything in her ability to not be in a LTR anytime soon. I think it is because I rather like seeing and doing as I please but in the same sense I miss having a true partner in crime….

Dairy Free

Jan
4 Comments »   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized

Just one more week until no more dairy in Ms. C’s life. This is something I should have done a long time before, I tried too I went a good few months without any dairy and tried to get use to vegan cheese. I will never like vegan cheese, so I will just be all things cheese free. I like rules when it comes to eating, I do well with what I eat and don’t eat.

Picked up two new cookbooks this weekend, some simply delicious ideas.
Other than that been eye spying some apartments out in LA, well more like the Long Beach area as I can afford it and there is more than enough potential employment opportunities. Daydreaming makes me happy. We will see what the next year brings :)

Meltdowns…

Jan
No Comments   Posted by Ms C. |  Category:Uncategorized

One mini crisis after another today, sometimes I am glad that I am who I am. Because I tend to get everything managed even if I do freak out a bit. Over the last few months I have come back into myself, the self sufficient, independent gal I was before.

It is amazing when you are in a relationship how much of that you give up, how much you just start relying on another person for. So when I am carrying the 35 bottles of water up from the car to my apartment or when I have a car meltdown, the only person that can take care of it is me. I do everything for myself and I love it, but still there are these times when I wish I had someone else to wash the dishes (it seriously takes me two hours to wash them- ADHD and OCD tend to make for a weird combination when I want to get anything done) or to bring up the groceries.
But it is nice not to have to deal with other peoples meltdowns and only my own, I may swear and throw something but the only person who has to witness it is myself. I have been having fun, getting ready to start my internship at what looks like an amazing company that specializes in EHR and Implementation. Just ordered my RHIT Exam Prep book so more hours dedicated to that. So I really just don’t have the time for a committed relationship nor do I really want one.
This afternoon my car decided not to work, yeah the battery wouldn’t work I believe because the serpentine belt has needed replaced for a bit and I kept putting it off. So right now my car sits at the service station at Harr until tomorrow. Cross your fingers it don’t cost a lot. But yet one more thing that I had to deal with this week. But everything is coming together :)
