NEWSFLASH! It's Winter... Oh & We Live In New England!

Welp, it's that time of year again. The temperature is droppin' and people are updating every status on all social media to let y'all know exactly HOW cold it is outside. I mean, why bother having a weather app on your phone? You could probably save a few bucks on your electricity bill by not turning on your TV to find out what the temperature will be outside. Just fire up your Twitter/Facebook app, scroll away and find out how to dress "weather appropriate" before you step outside.


*scroll*

"it's Snowing." 

*scroll*

"oh hey snow!" 

*continue to scroll*

"It's snowing again?" 

Soooo, Let me guess... it's snowing out?


The only reason I feel as though I can talk "crap" about this, is because once upon a time, I used to complain about the weather too (Let's be real, I still do SOMEtimes). BUT in my defense, I had just moved back from Miami, so I had a year and some change to adjust back to this insidious icebox known as the North East. We all know the weather can be ridiculously unpredictable and living here, it should be FAR from "shocking" when it's a blizzard one day and flooding the next because the temperature rose and then dropped 30+ degrees in a matter of 24 hours.

Of course, I'm sure those who live in warmer climates are watching those weather reports, posting how warm it is, saying shit like, "Wish you were here!" Yeah, RIGHT! We all know they're really doing this....


Now, in no way am I saying I'm "innocent" when it comes to informing the masses of what the current weather report. And yes, I will complain to those within an earshot of how cold it is out side, for maybe 30 seconds. I mean, if I'm sitting inside my car waiting for it to heat up and the temperature gauge reads in the single digits, I'll let you know... BUT given where I live, I can promise you I won't post about the weather every time it changes. We live in New England. We should be well aware of Mother Nature's Hot Flashes/Cold Sweats by now & be pretty well prepared for it!




So next time you want to let the masses know about the weather every time it changes, I can pretty much bet my school loans (yeahhhh) that they already know!

Stay warm! xoxox

What It Means To Be From Boston... It's More Than Just An Accent

Image
Every day of my life (or at least for as long as I could talk), I'm constantly asked to repeat what I just said because my Boston accent is so thick that if you're not from here, chances are you have NO clue what I just said. Promise, I said Cah Keys, not Khakis! Being from Boston, it's more than just "an accent" <--I really should get a shirt that says that. It really is a way of life. So many aspects of life are so different here in this little section of the country, I felt it was necessary to write a blog post about this city, especially since once upon a time, I really disliked being here. But as I've grown, I've gained a new appreciation for my home town... of course it took me moving to Miami to really appreciate life here... BUT for those of you who have never been here and are thinking about visiting one day, here's what you need to know.   They're not milkshakes; they're Frappes. If it is carbonated AND flavored,

Some Things I Will Never Understand...

You knew some type of response was going to happen (by yours truly) with all of this "gay" news going on. Let's be real, it's just too important to NOT talk about… and with that, here we go! Between Jason Collins & Michael Sam (if you don't know who they are, stop reading and go Google them NOW!), the conversations across the country are a'brew'n! The state of Arizona is trippin', Republicans want to ban gays from playing in the NFL... I swear if it's not one thing, it's another. How the hell did we get here? Seriously, how ? Because I don't understand… I don't understand why MY loving a woman affects YOUR life in any way. I've never known heterosexual relationships to affect my life whatsoever, soooo how does my being with a woman affect your relationships again?? In case you didn't already know, which I'm sure somewhere buried in your brain you're well aware of this "little" known fact,

It's About Being A Human... Period.

Stuck... just stuck. Between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Please understand this... if you continue to read this (which I hope you will), this will only give you a window from one perspective... mine. These are not super solid facts, but they are rooted mostly in common sense, and since this has been weighing heavily on my heart, a blog post was the only way I could see to express what was in it. this... so accurate It's difficult to not go online and see what people are saying/posting, especially after the horrific events that occurred in Orlando this past weekend. You try to avoid it, but one post leads to another, one click leads you to another link, and another link... you get it. The outpouring of love, support that has stemmed from this makes my heart smile (slightly) through this tragedy. But with everything else in this world, with the good comes the ugly... the REAL ugly. When a presidential nominee (might have thrown up in my mouth a little bit writing that
