Ladies and Gentlemen, stop what you’re doing. The World Cup kicked off this morning and everything is right in the world again (this is me completely ignoring the fact that the U.S. didn’t qualify because we have a team of bagoons. Viva Mexico). But seriously, I have had an epiphany. We have got to find... 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 →
Midwest Heart
If you follow me on social media, you know that I've been in Chicago and that my heart is FULL. Man oh man do I love that town. I moved to Chicago on a whim after I graduated college, which now feels like a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Ugh, getting... 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 Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time.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 →
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 →
The Vortex
In this great big universe, in this great big world, in this great big life, the people you meet and the adventures you lead must be noted. What are the odds? You have to believe in fate, even if it’s in the most miniscule way. If not fate, then you have to admit there's something... Continue Reading →
