Whitney HoustonFor those of us who grew up blasting cassettes of Whitney’s love pop while stalking high school crushes in the old family station wagon, this is a very sad day.

As the original counselor of Girl Power, Whitney inspired us to love ourselves… and to wear white tank-tops with acid-wash jeans in an effort to attract the attention of crushes.  She was an amazing singer but what I most appreciate about Whitney is the fact that she looked hot using dance moves white girls could perfect. The “Jump and Clap” and “The Stop.. Now Walk The Other Way” were game changers that gave those of us without rhythm a little something to show off at the high school dances.

In honor of the Diva of all Divas, a living room dance party just for you!

Rest in peace, Whitney Houston… you were truly the greatest!!!

Snowman at Hall Ranch, Boulder Co

I always appreciate when others leave smile-worthy art for all to enjoy

I know the storm was a pain for many commuters but because I never have to be anywhere at any particular time (a lifestyle element I’ve worked hard to keep) I was able to enjoy the weather with a warm fire, a grilled cheese sammie, and my handsome husband…far from the commuting population.

I expect most people consider me an introvert. I don’t think my preference to be alone is bad or strange, I’ve just always enjoyed doing the things I love on my own time and according to my own whims. For 30+ years I made many financial and social sacrifices in an effort to balance the expectations of being “a loyal friend” with how I would prefer to spend my time but now I’ve finally reached the point where I feel no obligation to trade my favorite pastimes for the social needs of others and as a result I’m really loving life.

Girl scouts for 40 years

I've been forced to rely heavily on my friendship badge

Today I was prepared to go to prison for murder but instead I opted to eat a candy bar and purchase a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Rocky Road, knowing good and well that the urge to kill this woman would subside.

And that’s about as good as I can be today…ever feel this way?
