Hang In There Baby!

Michael Keaton & KIm Basinger

It's merely the second Friday of 2024 and I don't know about you but I feel it's been way more dramatic than needed. Thus to all of you out there experiencing this "Hang In There Baby!" you know calmer times are ahead, they always are.

This behind the scenes shot of Michael Keaton and Kim Basinger dangling from wires on the set of Batman illustrates exactly how I, and I'm sure many of you feel right here, right now.

Now this is the kind of "hanging in there" that puts the "D" in dramatic, for sure!

Another day of 2024 and I'm out there performing another high wire act...

Mic Drop!

These Boots Were Made For Walkin'

Are You Ready Boots?
Padma Lakshmi

While it's a mere two days in to 2024 I thought we could use some inspiration. Here it is in the form of one Ms. Padma Lakshmi!

Seriously! This woman is showing of her beautiful gams and rocking a yellow mini dress with a blue fur coat, not to mention while boots in NYC while it's frigid AF!

How inspiring, fashion forward, not to mention balls out is that?! Nothing is I tell you, and while I am a little hesitant to throw in that she is 53 years old, I just did. Why? Because this too is inspiring, just look at her will ya???

IMHO she is one of the most beautiful women there is.

Be your own Padma and get out there and bend it!!!

Happy New Year!

You know who you are...heading into 2024 like it or not! Have fun ringing in the New Year and please cautiously proceed into a year that should be one Hell of a ride, or simply throw caution to the wind.

Remember there is always the middle ground....

Gird your loins it's going to be a crazy ride either way!!!

Expectation

Heading in to 2024 this quote is something I've learned in my later adult life to be 100% truth! It's also one of the reasons upon rewatching Sex and the City I learned to despise the character of Carrie Bradshaw (note I said one of the reasons, there are many other ones to despise about that character as well.) I noticed how she always expected people and situations to be the way she thought they should be it was an exhausting, not to mention annoying revelation to behold.

The less expectation you put on situations and people the less, as Bill would put it "Heartache" you will have.

So heading into 2024 I have no expectations of it. No New Years Resolutions. I'm simply waltzing into the New Year with my eyes wide open and expectation free.

The way things are anymore it's the only way to roll...

Purgatory

"Yes" Minions it's that time of the year again where one is unsure of time and space. Consuming mass quantities of cheese (and whatever nosh is roaming free.)

It will all be over soon come this Sunday, then back to our regularly scheduled program...

January is just around the corner, gird your loins and hold on tight 2024 draws nigh!!!
