It’s hot in here.
Possibly because I currently have 3 appliances plugged in (blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron), all to achieve the effortless waves you like so much, and I realize that the next time I want to deny that I am high maintenance, I’ll just effing sigh in resignation. I concede.
I wonder if I’ll ever be a “wash and wear” hair kind of girl, and if not what does that say about me? Decide not to give it a second thought. Decide not to care what people think if I include that in a blog post. For now, it means I’ll have pretty princess hair for the day, so WIN.
I wonder if I can tell you how happy I am that you’re here. I wonder if it’s too soon to tell you that lately my blessings are feeling like burdens, but I’m working on it-I wonder if you’ll understand what I mean and not judge me. I wonder if you’ll care that a broken friendship of mine is mending and that makes me really happy. I wonder if you’ll ask the right questions, say the right things-I wonder how I’ll react when you don’t. I wonder what will happen when you read the.blog.
Make-up time. It’s amazing what a little Nars Orgasm blush can do. Orgasm. I wonder what it will be like…
I wonder what it will be like when I stop wondering and just know. Know exactly what you smell like after a shower, or when you wake up, or come home from a bike ride and my fabulous, albeit yoga pants clad ass pauses the Kardashians long enough to give you a hug, because I don’t care that you’re sweaty. In fact, I kinda love it. I wonder what it will be like when you know all my friends names, faces and life stories, who’s fighting with who and who’s opinions really matter, who (or who’s boyfriend) will come after you with a hockey stick if you hurt me. I wonder what it will be like when you have coffee (or a martini, knowing her) with my sister, alone, because she’s my world and I’m your world and they’re colliding.
I wonder what it will be like when we bridge the communication gap, the distance gap, the schedule gap. I wonder if we’ll ever completely bridge every.single.gap life throws at us, and I doubt it. I decide again not to worry about it, and instead just hold on to your hand tighter and jump. I decide that if I’m going to be doing all this jumping around, I should do it in style, so I buy these jeans. Something about jumping around screams, “BUY THE HUNTER BOOTS“ to me, so I do. I mean, maybe with all this jumping I’ll land in a puddle, and a girl has got to protect herself.
And if I stumble into that puddle sans the hunter boots, would you lay your coat over it to save my pink satin stilettos?
I wonder…

LOVE! I adore that last sentence…what a closer! Seriously, you already know my thoughts on this post. There is no sweeter smell than my love after he’s come out of the shower. I cherish those moments. xo
I will Liz because I want those pink satin stilettos. Hahaha!
Nars Orgasm is the best blush for me… I haven’t used any other brand and color when I tried it… it’s perfect for that sun-kissed or rather the after-sex glow.
And let me tell you… you don’t have to wonder… I’m always happy to be here. xoxo
This is great. I think everyone wonders these things, maybe a little differently worded. It is something that will always boggle our minds. We have to push it aside and believe everything happens for a reason.
Babe, you are the best…..talk about wonder, you always make me think and wonder!
xoxo
I remember the hair wonders, too! I didn’t even brush my hair for the meet up, haha.
Love the innocence of this post!
You have such a knack for the written word. We all wonder – all of the freaking time. But I love that you’re going to jump, pink stilettos and all.
Liz this post is killing me I love it so much and I don’t know I think it’s because I’m feelings those butterflies right now like crazy that I feel like you are pulling the words right u tof my mind, my mouth…my heart
holy moly thank you for this post love…so much
gosh liz, you have a way with words. seriously. i love it. i love this post..everything about it. there are so many lines that i relate to. you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside! love you girl!
You are my favorite little slice of wonder bread.
Very nicely put wonder girl.
Love you so much. This is beautiful.
Love this. I’m glad you’re back!
That was a delight to read. An absolute delight. Welcome back Liz! I wonder similar things all the time. But I wonder who will be the next guy I wonder bout hehe. I wish you luck!! All the luck in the world!!!
I will bring all 6 hockey sticks and let him have his pick between them. Sort of like back in the day when they’re torturing someone and they let the victim pick their poison. It’s only fair. I hope it never comes to this.
I am so happy you jumped/I pushed you off the cliff.
Very nice. I don’t think anyone will ever stop WONDERING, it’s natural to think things over. I wonder about everthing, the next guy, if things will work, if he’ll fit in–what if he doesn’t.
I wonder if I could heart you anymore. The last line is pure rose gold darling!
I love your writing… and I agree, I hate wondering all the time… Its so complicated, and makes us enjoy the NOW so much less.
I loveee you.
You are wonderful. I love this post. Isn’t it funny how wonder can be so lovely, and also so scary? Wonder is killing me currently (a different kind of wonder), but I love this kind of wonder.
Awwww!!!! I love this esp the last line, it was like a beautiful modern fairytale. I am so happy for you-SO. HAPPY. You deserve this so much babe!
Love it. I’m high maintenance too!!!!
i sort of love this
ok, maybe more than sort of. instead of laying a coat down, might i suggest being swept off your feet 
You always say things WAY better than I do…
But I could have written your post. I just need to hold his hand and jump too… but I have pulled back again. Scared of the edge…
Love this my friend!! xo
Awww…what a cute post! And those links you added totally made me want to buy myself a pair of Hunter boots and some Nars Orgasm blush (um…why haven’t I ever bought it before??) I wonder when i’ll ever go on a date again!
Heck yes! If said person listens to your witty, sweet banter for even a minute – a resounding yes!
p.s. I’m currently stalking black lace Loubotins with a pink bow – are you secretly telling me to buy them?
i’m a wash and wear kind of gal – life is easy
there will always be gaps and you’ll have to work to bridge them, but buy the hunter boots (my chinese laundry are a good sub) and hit the puddles. but hold the pink satin stilettos cuz even with his coat, you need to hold your own
This was probably the cutest thing I’ve ever read. EVER.
yay I’ve missed your posts! Loved your FAQ from the other day. And YES NARS is the best Orgasm
haha I’m a wash and try to do something special in the end wear kinda girl. I would love to be able to handle all the irons and makeups without looking to overmaked or simply bad! haha I should move near your place so you could do my hair too
I loved the post, we really should stop wondering all about even I do all the time! and honestly I’m not sure if I would give you always my coat, it depends on the coat right? 
love, dany
oh, and I love the picture!
Hi hon! I’ve missed you too! So glad you’re posting again… you feel so far away on wordpress
But I honestly understand why you did it… blogger has been driving me nuts these past few weeks. I might need to take the plunge as well (and I love the fact you’re now self-hosted).
Such a beautiful post and even if things are uncertain, aren’t these beginning “I wonder’ stages exciting and some of the best? Also thought you’d like to know I’m a wash it and wear it type of gal, but I do take my time with the make-up
I love love love your words!
There was a point in my life a couple of years ago that I was doubting myself more than ever – after my one and only break-up to the guy I was CERTAIN was my one&only (turns out I was right, just temporarily halted) – and it was like nothing was safe from my doubts. And then one day I realized – ANYONE can find doubt in a situation, that’s not hard, but very few can find the certainty in a situation; and I wanted to be the person to find the certainty.
You’re brave and inspiring and beautiful (inside and out) and definitely strong enough to be the person to find the certainty – find it friend. It always leaves us with a smile on our faces
All my best,
Carolina
I’m a wash & go girl, but trust me, I wish I had the patience to even attempt to do my hair, like you! If I had a team of people, I wouldn’t mind that title of “high maintenance” one bit ;o) And I wouldn’t fret one bit, girl! You are perfect just the way you are! And I mean it!
I used to wear heels every day.
But the man prefers that I’m comfortable enough to keep up with him.
It could happen to you…
Lovely post, darling!
I adore NARS Orgasm blush!
xoxox,
CC
It looks like I could learn quite a bit from you in the hair care department… So thrilled I discoverd your blog!
Love. This. Post.
Now this post is making me wonder about those kinda stuff too…! My husband hasn’t met my friends yet.
Beautiful post! ;p
I wonder…if I could possibly adore you more. Nope…not gonna happen!
Cute post. Love that photo!!
love nars and LOVE you!
i realized yesterday that SOMEHOW your blog had come off my google reader and i had been thinking that you were just MIA..so pissed i have been missing you!!!!!!
effortless waves=demon. I do these often and it KILLLZ me bc they take sooo long!!!
xoxoxoxoxox
You always make me wonder what you’ll write next.
love this. cherish those moments of wondering for the moment… xoxo
well said. i wonder a lot of things as well. like what my life will be like in the next year. i actually *just finished writing about that (not nearly as gracefully as you ha). guess nobody knows the future and it’s tough to handle sometimes.
If he’s worth his salt he’ll save your tootsies! And go for the Hunters lady. You’re gonna need ‘em. Woop woop for mending fences too!
Nars is amazing, I will have to check out this product too.
I wonder when Spring will make it so we can head to the beach! Have a great rest of your week Liz!
mama, i love your writing. LOVE. you’re so talented, and beautiful, and an inspiration. love you!
Oh darling, it’s best to just accept that neither you nor I will ever be “wash and wear” kind of girls ! VAIN Party of 2 Please, and Make those Martini’s Strong!!!
Perfect post. First- I am so happy for you gorgeous girl. Second- All of these things ran through my mind in the first few years of dating K, and I wish I could have put into words like this all of the fears/concerns/wonders I had. I love that you are just letting it all happen too, because it is one of the most difficult things in life to just let a relationship run its course.
I love how this totally sweet post turned into you buying jeans and boots!
One of the many reasons I love you doll! Too funny! And still sweet of course!
During the week at work I am totally a wash and wear girl b/c I hate waking up any earlier than I have to. Yikes that makes me sound like a lazy turd…
never ever stop wondering, my beautiful friend. ever.
and ps–you are Latina…you will never wash and go or wash and wear or whatever they call it. Our hair needs our undivided attention. this is not high maintenance….it’s a necessity of life. and that’s all there is to it. plus, I personally look like a chia pet if I don’t use all my products (currently I apply about 6 different things after I was) – plus with my crazy grenias I have to spend time twisting my curls if I want them to look like anything but a bad perm.
and pps–nars is the best…orgasm blush is my jam! I love the glosses too.
and ppps–muah! love you xo
btw, read your previous post, why don’t you want to get a formspring thing? I don’t have one either but just curi.
Awww…..I loved this post. And I absolutely love and adore YOU. I don’t think I tell you that enough. But really. I do.
And to be completely off topic, I agree with the person above…you should get a formspring. (I only see the point in having one if you’re popular. hahahah jk. but not really. But it might be a quick, easy way to answer people’s questions and give your email a break
Xoxo.
Hey Liz,
I love that you are branching out, and hope you are learning and exploring more on WordPress…
btw, love the sweet photo at the top!
I’m constantly wondering the same thing. Constantly.
And then I realize that he’s just a guy. And guys spend less time thinking about these things than girls do, and if I jumped into a puddle of water sans Hunter Boots, he probably wouldn’t do anything to save my pink satin stilettos, but I’m hoping that he’ll at least jump into the puddle with me so I wouldn’t feel so dumb and alone, but who knows? I’m not ready to let that happen. So for now, I’ll be glued to my Hunter Boots because yes, every girl has to protect herself. Even from the boy who says that he’ll protect her. And I’ll stop wondering about the when why where and hows, and stop trying to bridge together everything, and just let all the chips fall where they should, and hope for the best.
another winner post Liz!
aww yay :] xoxo
he’s around and your own personal “matchmaker” is going to find him damnit!
I WANT RED OR GREEN HUNTER BOOTS!!!!!!!!! FU for inspiring this expensive purchase. xoxox
Heyyy…saw this and thought of you! http://www.saraboocreek.com/uploads/Wall%20Plq%20R.JPG
I love this, and I love you. SO much.
Ouhhhhh ! There’s a boy
) !!!!
Yay ! I sure hope he becomes a part of your world and enjoys the company of your friends and sister, it’s so important.
I like him already, because he seems to give your buttaflies
I wonder what he’s like.
Great post!! =) Sorry I’ve been MIA lately, catching up know though! My heads still in vacation mode.
Beautiful post. I think I wonder a tad too much. Trying to figure things out before they happen can make one dizzy. Love your last line. =)
