"It's handled," two words is all it takes to create a catch-phrase for a sitcom character named Olivia Pope. Olivia Pope is a lawyer who owns her own law firm in the tv showScandal. However if she does her job right, her clients will never spend a day in court. Olivia is a crisis-manager, a fixer. Olivia's taste in fashion and strong personality is enough for many woman to be inspired by, but she has even more reasons up her sleeve and here are my top three.


1. Olivia Pope is a fixer.


In life we will all go through struggles, even fixers. however it is how we deal with those problems that determine who we are. For example, some people need a pep talk, others are their own pep talk.

2. Both Olivia Pope and life are competitive.


Life as we know it is built on competition. This is a great quality to possess. We see competition while trying to find a job, in sports, politics and even between businesses competing against one another.

3. Olivia Pope trusts in her gut.


We are taught everything we learn through textbooks, however in life there will not always be a textbook answer for problems we may face. Science tells us some people are more right brained meaning more rational than others who may be left brained and more likely run by emotions. Although this may be true I believe everyone has gut feelings. the feeling that someone is lying or even telling the truth. A textbook cannot tell you that answer, but your gut can.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
