i had a birthday and here’s what i know.

Uncategorized / May 21, 2015

zora-quote
i celebrated a big birthday this week.  and i feel pretty fine about it, all in all.

after a certain few decades and a half of living, i’ve learned that some things just work for me.  they’re what i do, and who i’ve become.

  • i do my hair now.  every morning.  i get it did and dyed, often, and i do my part daily.  i feel much better in the morning if i start out with good hair on my side. 
  • i workout regularly – at least three times a week.  pilates.  it’s my thing.  it changed the game.
  • i splurge on vacations.  i stay in the nice hotel.  i get the bigger room.  i order a glass of champagne, and room service.  i go with my friends.  i go with brian meares.  and sometimes i go by myself.
  • people will come and go, but if you have 5 you can call when things go sideways, you’re doing great.
  • i have a house keeper.  it’s worth my sanity to have someone fight the good fight with me.
  • i get up early now.  like 7am early.  and i get a lot of shit done.
  • i go to therapy once a week.  it’s great to pay someone to listen to you talk about yourself.  
  • i get things waxed.  puts a little spring in your step.
  • i still act like a fool about quarterly at the bar.  and dance inappropriately.  and have the best time doing it.
  • it’s ok to sometimes appreciate the planning more than the executing, and the fantasy more than the reality.
  • i love trends.  enjoy them while they’re in, and then onto the next.  what’s fun about staying the same?
  • but i did buy a nice classic sofa that should last a while.
  • if you tell people you’re going to make something happen, even it you’re not sure how, it’s more likely it will.
  • i know that life won’t turn out how you thought it should, or would.  and that’s the most exciting thing in the world.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCool
On East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Designter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
