Although I love writing about style and fashion, there are just times I want to talk about other things besides.....style and fashion. And I am not sure how to remedy this. I may eventually break off into another blog, because I know some readers come here just for style. But for now I just want to post about other things every now and again, or maybe weekly, I don't know.
I have other real life thoughts brewing in my brain.....
-like the fact that my only child (not for lack of trying)turned 5! f-i-v-e! last week and somehow that made me feel melancholy. And somehow just instinctually he knew that I needed lots of snuggling and cuddling this week, and has been asking for just that himself. And how I never knew that I could love a little boy so much it hurts. And how when I look into his tiny face and eyes my heart just bursts with emotions for him. And how when I look over at my husband he knows exactly how I am feeling because he feels the same way about him. And how even though we are a small family, we are still so blessed to have each other- and I need to feel that gratitude everyday.
-like the fact that I feel sad that the death of Billy Mays and Farrah Fawcett are over-shadowed by Michael Jackson's death. Oh believe me I understand it. Despite Michael's flaws and suspicious activity, he still should be respected for his AMAZING talent. Maybe it's the fact also that I have been watching Billy's new reality show on the Discovery channel, called Pitch Men (produced by my friend, Matt Crocco), and I was really enjoying him! And how strange that it may be related to his plane landing roughly and something falling and hitting his head on the flight! Something that can happen to any one of us! Scary! But now they are saying maybe heart disease....
-like the fact that, I am writer at heart (I didn't realize I was for many, many years as I tried different careers-teaching made me realize it most of all) and this year I took the time to write a young adult book (never even know I had it in me)! And how tough it is to traverse the literary agent and publishing world-a journey I am just beginning.....That's about all I want to say about it, so wish me luck :)
-like the fact that it's already June 30th and I don't even know where June went-what the heck? I have so many things I still want to do this summer.......So please bear with when I choose to just say what's on my mind every now and again...I promise to throw in something style related- like the fact that gladiator sandals are really growing on me this year (which supports my theory of fashion desensitization), and how I still hate jumpsuits and stirr-ups and acid wash (I have not been desensitized by them yet-not enough market saturation). :):) HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Christina-you can ramble on any old time you want. I read you blog because of your voice and style (something a good writer needs anyway, right?) so good luck to you- I'd read your book! Keep us posted!
I understand that kind of love for a boy (or boys in my case). OOOh a book- how mysterious. Your "rambling" gives us an insider view of you so keep it coming!
I absolutely GET what you're saying about your love for your son. I imagine it would be the same feeling we mothers of boys would have if we had daughters (too), but seriously, there are moments in each day when I marvel at what my sons are becoming. I seriously want to burst some days!
I wish you tons of luck on the book venture (and adventure), and I hope you'll share how it's going in these great brand off posts!
Oh Christina, I'm right there with ya. Some days I want to share recipes, show photos of my family and write about the challenges of living with chronic pain, but I feel I should stick to my focus of...comfortable shoes.
Your son is precious, you have a beautiful family. I wish you the best as you continue down the road of pursuing your dreams as mom, blogger, author...
Okay, your son is adorable! Feel free to ramble anytime, lord knows I can't call anyone out for rambling!! :)
Christina I'd love to see you write more on here more regularly! Post more than a once day if you want! Or however often you want to. I hear you on 'not for lack of trying'...oh I hear you. And I'm so impressed that you're writing a young adult book - I follow a couple of literary blogs who have agents sites listed, etc - let me know if you'd like me to email them to you. And five years old - so sweet. Love the photo. My husband and I are the same way - who knew we could love this little person so much it hurts? Fabulous post and looking forward to more of them!
Oh, you guys are amazing- thanks for all of the support!
Your son is adorable and you a blessed to have such a wonderful family. You should write about anything at any time. I always love reading your posts no matter what the subject matter might be! :o)
Good luck! Young adult is a hot market right now. And I loved Pitchmen too.
i know what you mean about having a 5 yr old...there's just something so independent about being 5 and it's hard as a mom...it makes me want to keep him my little man forever!!
Your son is too cute! And I loved reading all your ramblings.

Refreshing! I loved the "read".
Happy Birthday to your son. The birthdays come faster every year.
Enjoy!
please, ramble on! it's your unique voice that keeps me coming back as well as your keen fashion sense :)
It's always interesting to get a glimpse of the person behind whatever "voice" your blog projects. Looking forward to more varied posts!
