How do you get someone out of your mind?

It was some sort of a relationship for a few years but really nothing much at all.  However I find myself thinking of him way too often.  At first I tried to force myself to stop and that just made it worse.  Then I decided to not try anything.  And that doesn't seem to work either.  And for the last few days immediately when I wake up he is on my mind or something that reminds me of him comes to mind immediately.  I'm talking about the minute that I wake up without having time to think of anything.  How does that stop?  And why the hell does it happen?

It just seems that for a very insignificant relationship I seem to be having a harder time to get him out of my mind than with any of my real past relationships.

Fave Carrie Bradshaw Quotes

Will there ever be another Carrie Bradshaw?  I miss her and think of her very often :(

 

Below are some of my favorite CB quotes:

'The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.'

'I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.'

'He's not my boyfriend. He's just somebody I'm trying on.'

'I will not be the first one to speak. And if he never calls me again, I'll always think of him fondly, as an asshole.'

'It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?'

My top two favorites:

'Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.'

'They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.'

A-K-R-I-S- My new love!

I just love it when I discover a designer.  Below is a little info on Akris followed by a few of my favorites from their Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.


Akris is an independent family owned fashion house established 90 years ago in St. Gallen, a Swiss town renowned for its longstanding tradition as the heart of the country's textile industry. 
 
Fashion at Akris is more than a visual event. Clothing is a protective sheath that enters into a sensual dialogue with the body of the woman who wears it. That is why fabrics play a crucial role. For Akris designer Albert Kriemler, they are the mother lode of fashion and one of its most important sources of inspiration. In his own words, "The design of every item begins with a piece of fabric in my hand."

Albert Kriemler has spearheaded fashion design at Akris for over 30 years.

Enough

I feel as if I have aged 10 years in the last 3 months. Enough.  I need to take care of myself.  Work is going to need to move over and allow time for me.  I am eating better, getting some exercise, taking vitamins and breathing.  Lots of breathing.  I need to elevate me in my list of priorities.  My daughter, me and then we can look at everything else.
