Two Words - A New Game

I recently learned the movie High Fidelity was rebooted as a Hulu series with a gender swap and starring Zoe Kravitz.  I didn’t hate the original movie, but it was flawed.  For one thing it was too long and needed some more time in the cutting room.  Furthermore, John Cusack's character was often unsympathetic and rarely acknowledged his own shortcomings.. 

I still thought it was an interesting concept. The end of one relationship can bring on some introspection about where the others before it went  wrong. A breakup can force you to confront some ugly truths about yourself.   I understand Cusack's desire to spend that time looking backwards.  Why did breakups happen?  What was my role in each one?

I have been happily married for over eighteen years, so I no longer have much interest in figuring out how my personal issues and actions contributed to past broken hearts.  I must be doing something right with the current man, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Even so, I sometimes think it's fun to look back on where I have been so I can see how far I have come.

So I have decided to reduce some of my relationships, or some of the men I dated, to two words.  If I had to describe the man or the relationship in two words, what would they be?

Eternally Fickle

 Cherished Friend

 Arrogant Twit

 Experimental Phase

 Neurotic Romantic

 Himbo Interlude

 Tragic Timing

 Insecure Immaturity

 Finally Forever

Can you describe any of your past relationships in two words?

How To Not Curate and Edit Your Wardrobe (and still be happy with it)

Image
Out with the old, in with the new. Wait.  That's not quite right.  Old does not have to go out if it's still useful and still looks good.  New doesn't have to take over the old.  Do I have too much old?  Did I buy too much new? I am following several fashion bloggers who talk about creating a "capsule wardrobe".  This is a wardrobe of fairly timeless pieces that best capture your style. At first I thought these sites were going to help me dress perfectly with every piece mixable and into a signature style that screams "Rachel."  No item would be superfluous and everything would work together harmoniously. I have learned in the past few weeks as I transition my wardrobe from the fall/winter closet to the spring/summer closet that trying to get yourself into this mindset can drive you crazy. It is definitely helpful to evaluate your wardrobe periodically.  Sometimes there is a reason why something has been sitting in the back of the closet...

The Lie That Will Destroy Us

Image
The United States has never been more divided. This divided country will fall apart. Are we headed for another civil war? It's hard to listen to any political commentary these days without hearing about how "divided" the country is. The United States isn't united. It's an assemblage of different groups who all have different goals and dreams and lifestyles and values. It's urban again rural, liberal against conservative, Christians against non-Christians, native-born against immigrants. The entire country is a powder keg of hate waiting to blow because nobody can agree on anything anymore. Is it really? The mass media and all the various political commentators feed us these stories about American division every day. They can't be wrong, can they? It's not as if the news outlets, owned by giant media conglomerates and run by billionaires have any stake in keeping us afraid, right? The media are all reporting the facts and there is no advantage to making...
