to the sisters.

I picked up this 24k gold shu uemura eyelash curler in Las Vegas on the way to California.
I joked that I bought it "because I like hip hop" and my friends on the trip were saying things like, "You deserve it, girl!"
I actually felt pretty silly about it and kept over-explaining that I really bought it because I hope to be less allergic to it than the regular eyelash curler. But I'll confess that I do feel pretty fancy when I whip it out.
Jenny, Mom, Marie, and Miriam: You're welcome to use it anytime.

$10 hotel room & viva las vegas.

When I told people that I was staying in a $10 hotel room in Las Vegas, everyone wanted to know what it was like:

3 generations.
Truth be told, I do not love Las Vegas. But I would go almost anywhere to have the opportunity to spend time with my female relatives.

My ability to appreciate female relationships has added a depth and meaningfulness to my life that I never anticipated or even hoped to find.

I used to always need a boy present in social situations to make them seem worth it. Somehow I felt unfulfilled without that possibility for romance, excitement, or a boost to my ego. I viewed other females as competitors and compared myself relentlessly. I am eternally grateful to have grown out of such immaturity and selfishness.

If I never get married again, I know that my female relationships will be enough for me to be happy.
