My thoughts on Life, Writing, Hollywood, Children, My Neighbors, Love & Growing Up
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 →
Songs take me back to particular moments or windows in my life. Music is transcendent like that. Growing up, after morning swim practice in the summertime, we would go to my friend's house and listen to Jagged Little Pill on repeat the rest of the day. That album was very much the soundtrack of my... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →

Spoiler alert, this (idiot) woman marries this man before she realizes he's a lunatic who murdered his mother and is... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
