What's Going On?

I know. I haven’t been here for a couple weeks. Don’t worry. I’m still very much alive and kicking.

Superalzy.com has been a non-niche blog for over 2 years now. My interests are so strange and varied that I don’t ever plan to make this site about one thing. I started the site as a portfolio for my writing and editing skills over a range of focuses.

Right now I’m working on re-theming, reformatting and rebranding Superalzy.com. I’m also focusing on personal development, acquiring new skills and becoming more marketable, moving my career in the right direction and developing Geeks Can Be Chic.

I have some good ideas rolling around ye ole drawing board, so I’ll be back. Oh, I will be back.

Things I Love Thursday

Weekly Gratitude


Afternoons at the vineyard ♠ Figuring out Halloween costumes. I’m going to be a Lion Tamer & The Magician’s daughter, Fia, is going to be my little lion. Don’t worry. No Fias will be harmed in the making of this costume ♠ Pretty dresses ♠ Summer being OVER. It was a good one, but I’m ready for new things… ♠ The Oatmeal ♠ Wings & Salad. It’s my new favorite dinner. A nice big healthy salad & like, 3-4 wings. It’s perfect ♠ This dog:

My Muldoon! Let's snuggle!

Post-Summer Detox

It was a great summer, wasn’t it? Pizza, Curley’s Fries, ice cream- oh, the ice cream! And so many sugary, frozen drinks. Well, let’s get back on track together, shall we? Cleanse your body of summer shenanigans to help promote a healthier lifestyle & motivate you to stick with it. Over the weekend, I tried this:

Detoxify & Cleanse

It’s a 2-day cleanse that you mix with water. You can consume clear soups, fruits and veggies, but avoid complex meals. You will not lose 20 lbs overnight. You will not look like a supermodel in 2 days. You will feel rejuvenated & ready to make healthier decisions for the rest of the year, though.

Well, at least until the holiday season!

Haikuesday!

Well that went fast! I can’t believe summer is over and fall is finally here! What were the highlights of your summer? Here are some of mine.

Discovering the
best little crab shack on the
East Coast in Cape May.

Waterslides & beach
time. Pina coladas at
Ocean Oasis.

Enjoying a pina colada in my gorgeous strapless suit!

Rollercoasters &
Adventures in OC
with fearless Fia.

Nom nom nom!

VIPing it

We love Curley's!

Fashion Friday: Good Buys

I’ve been on the hunt for a good, versatile dress. Finally, with help from my little shopping buddy Fia- The Magician’s daughter- I found one!

So perfect!

I can pair it with heels or boots, a wrap or motorcycle jacket, mod accessories or simple jewelry. This dress will adapt to whatever style I feel like wearing. I tried it on & it looks stunning. It makes me want to go out & get a pair of white space boots like these:

Making the best of crappy situations- I turned the mandatory evacuation into an evacucation in Philadelphia! ♠ Girls Nights with Fia! We painted our nails, shared some ice cream, danced to the VMAs & Fia helped me pick out dresses. She said I’ll look like Barbie in this pink one! Then she wanted me to pick out a “princess dress- a white one!” ♥ my Fia ♠ Stumbling into old memories. I didn’t realize I was walking Muldoon through the “Squirrel Park” my father used to take me to when I was 7-8ish until I walked into this statue:

I was always mesmerized by this statue.

The Please Touch Museum ♠ My survival skills. I stayed calm & knew what to do during an earthquake, hurricane & tornadoes. Bring it, zombies! ♠ Muldoon in the city. He did so well at the hotel, in the streets of Philadelphia & at the park. So many people, dogs & unfamiliar things & my dog was a CHAMP! ♠ Being naturally awesome ♠

Why I'm Over Summer

Alright, Hurricane. I’m ready for bonfires & pumpkin carving & pie season. I’m ready for riding my motorcycle under multicolored leaves. Summer is great, but there’s nothing like fall. Why?

I’m tired of mosquitos.

I’m full of lemonade.

I’m over the pressure to tan. I like being pale, thank you.

I’m sick of engagements and the resulting rash of relationship questions the ripple out to everyone else.

I’m tired of traffic and tourists.

I miss my sweaters.

What are you looking forward to this Fall?

Haikuesday!

Kind of like this...

“How was your weekend?”

“Naturally disastrous.” Yes. It was a very bizarre week indeed. But after surviving all my deadlines, an earthquake and a hurricane FILLED WITH TORNADOES, I’m kind of feeling supercharged. Also very lucky. For a while there I wasn’t sure if I’d have a home to come back to. Irene missed us by about 10 miles.

Muldoon turned out to
be an awesome city dog!
Ready for New York!

Evacuation
turned evacu-cation- a
weekend in Philly.

Walking Muldoon in
the park brings back some sudden
childhood memories…

My dad used to bring me here to feed the squirrels!

My office quaking,
trees breaking, debris floating,
overall OK.
