Says Shirley: Charmed
http://saysshirley.blogspot.com/2009/12/charmed.html
Thursday, December 24, 2009. Despite what I may be experiencing at any moment or what I may be feeling (which is a little sadness if you must know), I know that I lead a charmed life. No I'm not uber wealthy and hob-nobbing with the uber powerful and uber famous. And, no, I'm not the life of the party, hanging with the "it" crowd, or on the social scene around town. But, you know what? I have friends who will be there when I really truly need them, even if most of the time I feel very alone. Okay, I have...

Says Shirley: August 2009
http://saysshirley.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 29, 2009. During my short week in New York City, a friend of a friend took us to eat at a French American restaurant by the name of Breton Bar - highly recommend; interior is lovely too. For dessert, we headed towards Kyotofu. They also serve real food). I had the soymilk ice cream sundae with yummy Japanese-infused whipped cream, berry compote, and matcha mochi. YUMMY! It is a shame I haven't yet found a similar place in San Francisco, though I await the next time I return to NYC. Shees...

Says Shirley: Collecting 40 cents Ma'am
http://saysshirley.blogspot.com/2009/11/collecting-40-cents-maam.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Collecting 40 cents Ma'am. The oddest thing occurred to me today. Well, not really me. My sister, since she answered the door first. The postman came to our door to collect 40 cents for postage due on two envelopes. It all started a couple weeks ago when I was bidding ferociously for vintage stamps. Just a little something to perk up my mailings. I bid and won two auctions from the same seller for vintage stamps from around the world. It doesn't seem like an effective policy c...

Says Shirley: Fade into the back
http://saysshirley.blogspot.com/2009/11/fade-into-back.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. Fade into the back. Lately I have been noticing a trend (in my own life) towards the subtle and the muted. I feel a great urge to return to the pure and the natural (or, at least, my interpretation of pure and natural). Subtle, muted, pure, and natural are piggybacking on the simple and minimalist lifestyle I have been trying to craft for myself. It is a glorious discovering. This simple-subtle-minimal-faded love affair evokes states of rest and nourishment. Yearning and ...

Says Shirley: January 2010
http://saysshirley.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 6, 2010. My resolution this year is to be a better daughter, a better me. And today I just had an argument with my father over our moisture/mold situation, which, by the way, has affected me most. Am I a bad daughter? Or are my father and me just too similar? Y'know, in our stubbornness and strongwilledness. Today's wasn't a big fight. An annoying tiff really. Still. I broke my resolution already. Keep trying to improve, right? I'll try. But not sure how long I can. Links to this post.
