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 Rundown
I fell yesterday. Like a sad middle-aged lady all alone walking without an umbrella in the rain, I went down. Hard. It was a banana peel kind of fall. I imagine it all happened in cartoon fashion. Most people would probably get up real quick and be all embarrassed. Nope. Not this girl. I just... Continue Reading →
Microscopic
Each of us is bestowed with a gift. We all have areas in our lives we excel in more than others. If I had a superpower it would be observation. As far as X-Men go, consider myself and Marvel gravely disappointed. I notice things - whoopity doo, right? Not exactly a box office hit. It... Continue Reading →
Since you’ve been gone
I spent most of last year dealing with a breakup. Saying that out loud is equal parts embarrassing and relieving. Embarrassing because it's like making plans with a friend a few months in advance and all of a sudden that person is like "I don't want to do THAT! I mean I do, but not... Continue Reading →
Fickle Feelings
In a world where everyone's attention spans are shrinking by the second, it's hard to imagine how things last anymore. Sometimes I get bored in the middle of my own sentences. I mean I think about some of the trends I participated in with such blatant ignorance growing up and I'm ashamed of myself. In... Continue Reading →
greatness
I hope everyone survived Valentine’s Day. It’s actually a scarier holiday than Halloween. No clue how a massacre turned into roses and two-tops but here we are. Let’s ALL go out to dinner and let’s ALL order flowers ALL at the same time. I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work... Continue Reading →
Pick your Poison
I've been stomping around making trumpet noises for weeks. The two year wait is finally over. If you find yourself wondering what I'm doing in the next fortnight, it involves my television, ice sports and random bouts of shouting. The Olympics have arrived and I'm already watching curling at two in the morning! South Korea... Continue Reading →
My Man
"What's your type?" I get asked this all the time. Unfortunately for me, Jason Momoa is taken and build-a-man doesn't exist yet. It's usually asked after a very predictable lineup of comments and questions genuinely baffled at the fact that "someone like me" is single...whatever that means. Then comes the part where they go through... Continue Reading →
new year, same me
My attempt at a dry January ended this week and while some of you may look at that as a failure, I'm actually quite impressed with myself. Let's be honest, this is the longest I've gone without drinking since Dawson's Creek was on the air. This was a pretty big deal for me considering the... Continue Reading →
