Shopping With Marley!

8 May

I have some fun celebrations coming up, (weddings, showers, birthdays etc.) so I thought I would buzz over to Saks Fifth Avenue for some fashion inspiration. My favorite sales associate happens to be there and she’s more than happy to pull some clothes for me to try on. She puts me in a very spacious dressing room, hangs the clothes on several hooks, and exits when all of a sudden I hear…

…”I would like a mimosa instead of a bottled water, thank you very much.”

“Marley is that you?”

“Yo homie, what’s happening?”

“MARLEY…For heavens sakes what are you doing in the dressing room at Saks?”

“Fall clothes are already showing up in stores and a girl should always be prepared for the unexpected.”

“You’ve got to be kidding….What possible “unexpected” could you be preparing for?”

Marley barks back at me with a bit of an attitude, “well… I have a vacation home in the mountains and I just want to make sure my wardrobe reflects my personality for the unexpected occasions while on vacation. I’m leaning towards that mountain chic feel.”

“First of all,” I said with a stern tone. “Marley, YOU do not have a vacation home, your parents do…Furthermore, after getting caught for last weekend’s party (and by the way not all your friends pee outdoors), vacations and clothes should be at the bottom of your concern list…Hate to knock you into reality, but you’ll be in the dog house for a very long time…I’m just saying!”

Marley’s Party!

1 May

Friday’s with Marley…

5:55 AM my phone rings, I glance at caller ID, “Marley”…What’s happening? I say cheerfully!

“Party with my Homies tonight”

What, I say….a party at your house… tonight?….What are you kidding? Your parents are out of town.

Ya so, what does one thing have to do with another?

Marley, this is not a good idea! I’m just saying…Hate to be the one to knock you into reality…

I continued, this idea of yours reminds me of movie theater popcorn, smells delicious but it’s so bad for you.

Yum Marley said, I love popcorn. Don’t care where it’s from…

Marley I say a bit firmer, while pouring my first cup of coffee…You are purposely missing my point.

No I’m not, she barks! We are going to have so much fun…You are just being a kill joy! Plus, I’m not inviting the bitch down the street.

MARLEY, you know she has a name!

“Ya ya ya, What can I say? The bitch just likes to sniff around, make a mess and stick her big nose in my private business. She just rubs me the wrong way”

Ok, ENOUGH, I say…We are SO off topic!

Marley says with food in her mouth, “no worries, what could go wrong?… All my friends pee outdoors!

Marley and Me!

Fridays with Marley…

…Marley and I had a full day ahead of us, so this morning we started drinking Bloody Mary’s. With no topic off limits,  philosophizing whether patience was a virtue.

I said, you snooze you loose, no virtue!

Marley presented a darn good argument, all good things come to those who wait.

I don’t know?….Marley may be right…A lot of delicious treats have come her way!

Today’s Reminder!

25 Mar

“There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.

Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy.

Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.”

Today I saw this post on a friend’s Facebook page.

For me, it was such a beautiful reminder of my center, kindness and inner-peace…

And thought maybe for today, there were others, that could use a kind loving reminder as well…

Namaste!

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow!
