Please note the the following items will tell you approximately nothing about me.
Who: Mrs. Philirao
Why: Because that's better than my actual hyphenated name.
Where: New York, NY
Where: New York, NY
What: A to-do list, that, when accomplished, will plant my feet in the right life direction.
A dozen things I like:
- Shoes that make noise.
- A well-constructed sentence.
- Lists.
- Vegetables.
- Spreadsheets. You can do anything with a spreadsheet.
- The late novels of Thomas Hardy.
- Sleeping.
- Dancing. Specifically in my living room.
- Orange juice.
- Public transit.
- Tights.
- Being tall.
A dozen things I do not like:
- Invasions of personal space.
- Invasive, distracting noise.
- Fluorescent light.
- Esoteric literary criticism.
- Water. (I know. It's a problem. I'm working on it.)
- Staple removers.
- Mint and chocolate together.
- Politics in general.
- Shopping for pants, skirts, dresses, and/or anything that has to reach a certain point on my lower half.
- Extreme temperatures.
- Itchy sweaters.
- Being tall.
- A really organized apartment filled with only things that either a.) mean something to my husband and me, b.) are used frequently, c.) are fun to look at.
- A stylish, timeless wardrobe filled with quality pieces that suit many purposes and fit me really well.
- A signature look.
- A way to translate my personal passion--disability studies--into a career path. Hopefully combining it with my event planning and administrative skills.
- To do laundry on a regular basis.
- To publish something more notable than blog posts. Either a novel or memoir, or an article in a scholarly journal. I'm not picky.
- The perfect handbag.
- To fully enjoy cohabitating with my husband for an indefinite (and let's hope unending) period of time.
- To master a second language.
- To drink more water. (See, I said I was working on it.)
- To bring my lunch to work more often than not.
- To successfully post in this blog on a regular basis. And to make progress on the ill-defined project it represents.
