I'm a daydreamer and a night thinker. I always have been. I sleep with one eye open, which might be because I have FOMO or maybe because I have PTSD from when my apartment was broken into while I was sleeping but most definitely because my OFF switch has been disabled. I may look dormant,... Continue Reading →
Rise Up
I don't know about you, but I need a reason to smile. With everything going on in the world around me, I'm not sure whether to put together a survival kit and start a revolution or to follow my heart to Australia and make it official. What on earth is happening? Where am I? It's... Continue Reading →
catch me if you can
I have had a whirlwind of a week. Did a little brunching, did a little wine tasting, did a little line dancing, did a little celebrating, did a little sun tanning in 110 degree weather. Also, a bartender tried to kill me. He failed...but A for effort. This time of year is a bit crazy... Continue Reading →
Live Loud
I was listening to the radio when I heard the lyrics "When is the last time you did something for the first time?" And just to be clear, yes, I still listen to the radio. It's one of the old school things I cling onto. I also mail handwritten thank you notes, listen to cassette... Continue Reading →
the way way back
Blasts from the past. There really is now way of avoiding it when you meet up with old friends, which is what I did the other day. Names came up that I haven't thought about in years. Old roommates, apartments, past relationships and jobs - you name it, we talked about it. It seemed like... Continue Reading →
Invisible
Everyone wants attention. I don't care what you say. You may not want the spotlight on the daily but you definitely crave some sort of light. Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time. It's called seasonal depression and it's a very real thing. As much as I... Continue Reading →
Reach For It
It's hard to tell yourself to reach for the stars when you throw out your back reaching for the paprika. This is a true story folks. I simply reached for a spice and everything changed. I swear I'm an avatar and someone out there is getting a giant kick out of all of this. If... Continue Reading →
Bye Bye Bye
I have been told several times in the last few months that I need to clean out my closet. Both literally and figuratively. So now I do this thing where I open it, stare at it and then close it again. 'For another day' I tell myself. That's basically my M.O. when it comes to... Continue Reading →
Life in Retro
I don't know how any of you are doing but Mercury is in retrograde and whether you believe in that kind of stuff or not you gotta admit - things have been a little weird lately. I don't even feel like half of the people I talk to these days have any idea what I'm... Continue Reading →
Sunny-side Up
Jesus died. April Fool's. Jesus was just kidding. Pastels were worn around town like a Lily Pulitzer parade and 'egg recipes' has been the top google search of the week. Good luck in that house. Easter has come and gone. It's April and before I know it I'll be 40 and I still haven't been... Continue Reading →
