			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to the reading of my friend Jenny&#8217;s book<a href="http://thebloggess.com/" target="_blank"> &#8220;Let&#8217;s Pretend This Never Happened&#8221;. </a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve gone out of my way to h<a title="Father Bloggess" href="http://freeanissa.com/2011/08/i-have-a-plan-for-thebloggess-for-2012/" target="_blank">atch a plan for her anxiety disorde</a>r and she comes to Georgia is a total douche.</p>
<p>Before you kick me in the esophagus on her behalf, give me a chance to explain.</p>
<p>Writing a story is hard.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s Lifetime-movie-of-the-week dramatic of spleen-splitting humor, it&#8217;s difficult to tell a tale that stands out from the millions of others on shelves.</p>
<p>Then Jenny comes along.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s able to take topics that are serious at their core. Then wrap them in her hilarious presentation. They become universal and identifiable. Touchable. Real.</p>
<p>People realize that if this funny, loveable person can be full of her brand of crazy, it&#8217;s ok to admit that we all are.</p>
<p>And she&#8217;s an excellent writer.</p>
<p>It makes it very hard to be faced with the task of trying to write a tragic topic and infuse your humor in it. Why even bother?</p>
<p>DOUCHE-CABOOSE!</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t read her book, you are a fool and we&#8217;re all mocking you behind your back.<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0399159010/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thebloggess-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=0399159010" target="_blank"> DO IT.</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re never been to <a href="http://thebloggess.com/" target="_blank">her site</a>, I&#8217;ll assume you&#8217;ve been in a coma and say <span style="color: #ff0000;">SO HAVE I THAT IS NO EXCUSE!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a 38yo female.</p>
<p>Some of my best friends are 38. In fact, my BEST friend iS 38yo.</p>
<p>I love a bunch of people who are younger/older than me.</p>
<p>I am Asian.</p>
<p>Some of my best friends are Asian! (Coincidence, they&#8217;re just cool not a cultural thing)</p>
<p>I have friends that represent every color and ethnicity. The Olympics WISH they were as diverse as my Facebook list.</p>
<p>I love sushi.</p>
<p>Some of my best friends like to go out for sushi and sake and we&#8217;d eat tennis shoes if they came rolled up all cute.</p>
<p>There are also friends I get pasta with because the thought of raw fish makes them hurl a little.</p>
<p>I like vodka.</p>
<p>I just do.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re wrong.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a hetero female.</p>
<p>Some of my best friends are hetero.</p>
<p>A bunch of my closest friends are gay or lesbian. Some are better with that discovery than others.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t right for me to say &#8220;I don&#8217;t see color&#8221;. I do. I see what makes you unique and different and beautiful. I see it. I see every color. I wouldn&#8217;t UN-see it for the world.</p>
<p>I adore my friends no matter where they chose to find love. Be they straight or gay, the only thing that truly matters deep down is whether they will buy me a pony</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have these moments where my world collide.</p>
<p>The me that blogs and talks to crowds of people circles the me that wears my pajama pants to the store.</p>
<p>The me that plays social media roulette circle the me that once had coffee with other parents of very sick kids.</p>
<p>Sometimes the worlds crash headfirst.</p>
<p>Social media shares a drink with a parent who lost a child. <strong>CRASH!</strong></p>
<p>Uber-liberal blogger is chatting up conservative PTA parent. <strong>CRASH!</strong></p>
<p>CRASH!</p>
<p>CRASH!</p>
<p>I loved it!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know. It may be because everyone was just being nice. If they were, it was great. Keep lying for me!</p>
<p>Mt worlds could not have crashed in better ways.</p>
<p>There were glittery, sparkly pieces left.</p>
<p>I swept all the memories away to take out later and just savor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m here in Florida with the kids and Jackie. </p>
<p>The girls have swam. </p>
<p>The boy has seen &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; with friends. </p>
<p>I got to play a little catch-up with the faces I haven&#8217;t seen without the power of the monitors between us. </p>
<p>I have learned to love Georgia. The friends I&#8217;ve made. The life I&#8217;ve had a second chance to experience.<br />
But it isn&#8217;t Brandon. </p>
<p>The place where I feel whole. </p>
<p>Complete. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m basking in these moments. Soaking them up.</p>
