Pura Vida!

Well, I am back.  Regretfully and grudgingly.  I cried the entire way to the airport.  And then I watched Crazy Rich Asians on the plane and cried some more.  Coming back to reality has been very strange.  I am cold all the time.  I don't know what time or what day it is.  I actually...

Suitcases, Men & Umbrellas

In less than 24 hours, I will be in Costa Rica and I still don't have a suitcase.  That just caused so much anxiety for some of you.  I seem to have that effect on people.  I would also like to inform you that I just had to google whether to use affect or effect... Continue Reading →

Off the Grid

By the time you read this I will be well on my way into an adventure.  Sometimes a girl has to get out of the city, you know?  This year's Thanksgiving feast, for the first time ever, will be had by campfire.  Legit camping folks.  Not the glamping fancy pants transformer RV with a hot...

Love You, Mean It

I am currently on a plane headed to the Midwest for Ann Arbor to celebrate my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary.   Yes, that's them - how cute are they?  These two humans have chosen to stay together for 5 decades.  Kinda blows your mind a little bit doesn’t it?  I don’t think I like...

Maternal Me

What do you want?  Question of my life.  I want to live in a castle but like one with good insulation and a giant library full of first editions and velvet couches.  I want old maps that hold secrets of treasures unknown.  I want a lazy river moat full of mermaids and waterfalls and potions...

Collision

Minus the times my brothers were active in the military my family has always been together for Christmas.  It's my favorite time of year.  These are my people, my tribe, my kin.  Who else is going to finish my mom's tequila and facetime every single person in my phone?  It's truly the best...for about 4...

Distractionz

I'm going to be one hundred with you.  I woke up this morning and not a single word was written for this week.  This is not typically my M.O.  I wish I could tell you I've been busy spending my nights as a vigilante, trying to make this world a better place, but I'm afraid... Continue Reading →

My Christmas List

It's that time of year.  Whatever color cup you are drinking from you're also credit card debt deep into the season of giving.  It's also that time of year where I actually wish I could go back in time and berate myself for ever thinking money was a stupid gift.  I would like to personally...

Gobble, Gobble

A few weeks ago I was forced to endure an hour long Uber ride to the sound of Christmas tunes.  I repeat, AN HOUR.  Of all the Ubers in Los Angeles, of course I would end up in the one who is all too excited to get his joy to the world on.  Many of... Continue Reading →

For Moms with Tiny Humans

"My son spit on me today."  This is a text message I received from my best friend followed by "I want to stab him in the face with a fork."  Meanwhile, I was reading a book on my couch wearing whitestrips and a charcoal peel-off mask.  Talk about a Freaky Friday dynamic.  I don't know...
