I got to catch up with a good friend yesterday, sharing stories and such. I became convinced that if you want any relationship to be successful, one only needs 3 things: anecdotes, quotes, and advice. Maybe add a good bike ride together in there every once in a while, but that's it.
Think about it.

finally, more bits and bobs!
Yes, America, I finally have enough to say to start blogging again, soon. To welcome the new post enjoy a definition of my blog's new name:
Olla Podrida noun -- an incongruous jumble.
Example: "Vanessa's fashion sense is an olla podrida of patterns, colors, and decades that sassy and classy!"
In other news: I love words. I collect them as some would, say, stamps, boyfriends, or books. There's something about tossing in words such as barmecidal, bon ton, fulsome, and, logorrhea, into my vocabulary that makes me happy, much like a mathematics buff would get a kick out of counting cards at a blackjack table or a perpetual thief stealing beer from the liquor store. Yeah, just like that.
I realized, too, that I'm a syllabic conservationist, using rich, quirky words to lessen the amount of syllables I need to utter to get my point across. I'm always looking for ways to spend less energy and thus, why say, "toss your cares out the window and have a good time," when you can save your self a solid syllable and two entire words by spicing it up and declaring "defenestrate your cares and have a good time!"
Just don't defenestrate the baby with the bath water and we'll be okay.
