Am I the only person who chooses to greet the day with this face? (I'm OK with that.) Happy Wednesday, party people. Onwards and upwards...
The Boss.
Last night, a friend invited me to join her for Motown: The Musical. So well-done, first and foremost, and such a great opportunity to reminisce about how those incredible songs have been with me since I was a child. What a wonderful journey. But above all, above all, the musical reminded me of my enduring love for the woman you …
Level: I’m Not Ready. (And Neither Are You.)
That's where the fangirl level has landed. I'm neither ready nor can I handle this. (Awesome pictorial courtesy of Tumblr and Rhapsody Magazine)
25.
I haven't appropriately discussed my permanent spot before the altar of Adele, have I? I briefly mentioned her in this post, but no, you are not yet aware of This Square Peg's endless devotion to this young woman and her overwhelming ability to cull forth emotions you didn't even know you had through the power of song. …

Why Not Me?
I won't get into why I love Mindy Kaling more than you'll ever understand--and I do, I just stinkin' do--but this excerpt (printed in Glamour magazine) from her forthcoming second book of essays, Why Not Me?, (a title that was basically the theme of one of my recent short stories; I may post the whole thing on here soon) is …
How Queens Fly.
She manages to give me Jackie O and simply Lupita all at once. Le sigh.
Misty.
Misty Copeland was rejected by a ballet academy at 13 years old for having the "wrong body for ballet." She is now, as of June 30, the first African-American female principal dancer for American Ballet Theatre. Here are the following reasons I admire her and am inspired by her to no end: 1. Ballet is one …
