Dream On {Monday}


Dream………. For as long as I can remember, maybe since I was little and seeing mopeds and motorcycles speed about Italy, I always was enamored by them. 
Not something a mother wants to hear her daughter talk about I’m sure, but I didn’t ride my first motorcycle until I was about to move to Orlando for college. A friend of mine had one, I found out and asked for a ride. Of course it was slightly raining that day so I was a little scared, but everything was under control. {DISCLAIMER: Not the safest thing to admit} I think he got up to about 120 on the interstate. Some time I saw a documentary with Ewan McGregor called “Long Way Down”, he traveled to 18 different countries on motorcycle with his friend. I later then saw the movie “Benjamin Button”……… Need I say more about that motorcycle? With all that being said, I hope to one day travel the U.S. first on motorcycle.

Lost in Laundromat Translation

Tips on using an Italian laundry service. Story all true, formed last Saturday as a series of unfortunate events. Step 1: When using an Italian laundromat make a fool of yourself first by playing it cool when others are standing around waiting on their own personal belongings. Step 2: Get set up in a corner as if you're prepping for a long day of laundering. (laundry-not money, let's be clear!) Step 3: Wait for said people and any extra onlookers to slowly exit and be financially prepared for any extra money to be spent. Step 4: Fake read Italian signs all over the room, completely bypassing the signs above the washers that are in fact ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. So when you see a sign that says "Istruzioni per il lavaggio" ,you will understand it reads "washing instructions". You will also see the UK flag representing a "universal" English speaking dialect. But wait! It gets better! Step 5: Walk to the blinking lotto slot to choose your d

The Romance is Over.

It's been a while since I've posted the likings of a romantic life or whatever you'd call it; but I have since moved back to Florida from Portland as of the end of January this year and the romancing of a new city has finally died. I can say I've had a lot of adventures as a single woman and have greatly enjoyed them. I've had time to contemplate in the singleness and figure out the areas I wanted to work on in myself that are still works-in-progress. I also took the time to not pressure myself with certain things in life because there really is no rush on any of it at the end of the day. The Earth still turns, the sun goes down, the moon comes up and vice versa. Life can get ahead of me sometimes, and I need to stop getting so caught up in what I can't control. Moving back home (deep down I know Florida will always be home) has kind of helped me realize all the things I knew to be important, but it was also a beautiful and painful journey of growing pains th

Ugo {III} Conclusion

In the words of Italians: Bo. Means I don't know. But fortunate for me, I do know. I just like saying the word. :) Whatever preconceived ideas you have matched up in your head for me and this Ugo character, put them to rest. Nothing is coming of it and I knew this minutes after meeting him and becoming flushed in the face. Cute faces does not make the heart want, only the heart race. In this case, only seeing a guy for the immediate looks grabbed me in, but I did learn he had a gf. Off limits for me. Always. If a guy is looking at me in any way to pursue, or play a game of pawn and knight  and are with someone else, en passant my friend.  En passant. Don't get me wrong. Ugo is very pleasant, easy on the eyes, probably someone I would swoon for after watching a Lizzie McGuire movie mixed with an Olsen Twin movie, and an Amanda Bynes flick. But let's be real, even if I were to meet a man like they do in the movies, it will take me some time
