"Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels...."

“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”

Work reset my computer while I was gone, and now the “Share on Tumblr” button in my toolbar is gone. How do I get that back?

I’ve never flown into Oakland before, and I was pretty sure our pilot was channeling his inner Captain Sully there for a minute. I took this picture 2.5 seconds before landing. On solid earth. Wowza.

Well FANCY that.

My horoscope today: “Travel beyond your familiar terrain, whether you’re hopping a last-minute flight for a weekend jaunt or exploring a new scene close to home. You’re drawn to people with a divinely eccentric quality too. From the quirky musician to the offbeat geek, let your curiosity lead you off the beaten path when it comes to your social life.”

In about 2 hours, I’ll be on a flight with some friends and J up to wine country for a fabulous weekend! Tonight we will be attending an “Out in the Vineyard” event sponsored by a friend’s parents winery. There are few things in life that make me happier than great wine, great friends, and great gay men.

(And thanks to all for gift suggestions. The group decided to do a brunch for the family on Sunday as a thank you. Phew!)

Pictures to come!

Apparently Natalie Portman is in talks to star in Dare Me? Ugh disagree.

I actually disagree with this being made into a movie at all. Pass.

BRB, falling into a deep hole of sorrow.

These women are incredibly brave and strong.
