My thoughts on Life, Writing, Hollywood, Children, My Neighbors, Love & Growing Up
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 →
I recently read a book for my book club called Behind Closed Doors, which I chose and profusely apologized for afterwards, in which this (idiot) woman is basically being held prisoner by her psychopath husband. Spoiler alert, this (idiot) woman marries this man before she realizes he's a lunatic who murdered his mother and is... 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 Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time.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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
"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 →
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... Continue Reading →
