Yes. Michelle Obama is a real person.

I came across this article on my Yahoo! homepage. It was in the little feature box under "entertainment." I guess it's a style column written by a former editor of Lucky Magazine, Jennifer Romolini. Her previous posts include spring fashion, cute rain gear that can be found under $40, and the Kim Kardashian cellulite photoshop scandal.

It grabbed my attention because honestly I really did want to see what Michelle Obama was wearing during the European trip. I have to admit our president and his first lady are quite an attractive couple. However, the reason I wanted to share the article with you is because after I looked at the pictures and started paying attention to the comments made by Romolini I noticed how she kept commenting on Michelle Obama being a "real person."

...

Huh?? of course she's a real person? what else would she be... a pretend person?

According to Jennifer the fact that Mrs. Obama wears J.Crew and recycles pieces like her Jimmy Choos says humbling things about her character and makes her "just like us." I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around that kind of rhetoric.

Of course Michelle Obama is a real person. A fashionable person? I'll leave that to the experts. But Real? I think I can safely answer that and say yes.

p.s. This was my favorite dress of the week :]

    haha thanks for the link. Should we be concerned that he's scheduling the important decisions of our nation around the hour of Entourage though?

sour dough starter.

Heatwaves in our little 400ish sq ft dwelling were the worst. It was nearly impossible to keep it cool. The window AC unit and fans worked overtime and that just barely kept it bearable. The goal was just to make it through the hottest parts of the day - until the sun broke and started to set, there would be a slight late afternoon breeze - the cool, stillness of the night would be on it's way soon. Relief...  I loved our little 400ish sq ft dwelling more than humanly possible. And even though there were bees living in the wall and heatwaves felt like a literal sauna, I loved it. What I didn't like about it was cooking at any capacity when the weather was too hot. Because of it's size, the thought of turning on the stove or oven would have been literal torture. Pre-heating the tiny oven would immediately increase the inside temperature by a factual 1,000 degrees...  Summer of 2020. We were experiencing a global pandemic and a heatwave. Temps were well over 100 and quarantin...

LA, a love letter.

There are 3 views of the city that are my absolute favorite.  The first is on a corner across from LA Historic Park off of Spring Street. It also happens to be outside of our favorite place to drink beer on Friday nights. But the view of the Gold Line stop and the cityscape in the background is the best. It's just far enough away from DTLA to hear the slight hum of the city but close enough to feel the energy of late night commuters coming and going.  The second view is in the neighborhood behind Kenneth Hahn State Park. It's a view I didn't know existed until a few years ago but even when it's a little hazy, it never disappoints. On a clear day you can see the entirety of all the neighborhoods I love, you can see the lights from Dodger Stadium all the way to fireworks after events at the Rosebowl. You can hear the echo of children playing and softer booms from fireworks... The third view is a specific part of the 10 freeway. When you are driving east on the 10 through ...

Separation

Image
 After you send in a letter of resignation to a place of work, the word separation gets used a lot.  A separation of you and the place of business.   I guess to appropriately sum it up, that is the best way to describe it. I tried to figure out a more fitting word but couldn't seem to find one. In my particular scenario, it feels like an amicable break-up. A divorce of some sort because you both realize that your relationship was no longer serving you. You've grown, they've grown, and unfortunately that growth was apart from one another.  I think if we've all experienced anything over the last few years, one thing that a lot of people have done is a reprioritization of life things. The time we spend and who that time with spent is more important. If I've learned anything about myself recently, it's that I definitely did not have things prioritized in a way that was healthiest for me.  So, that's what I'm doing. Reprioritizing.  Reprioritizing and choos...
