My thoughts on Life, Writing, Hollywood, Children, My Neighbors, Love & Growing 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 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 →
Call me ambitious, call me competitive. Some of my favorite moments in life revolve around sports. There's nothing quite like the glory that comes with a Grand Slam or a photo finish. I can still remember standing in a bar in Chicago watching Michael Phelps win the 100 m butterfly in Beijing by one one-hundredth... Continue Reading →
There is a lot in this world that I miss. Some of it is constant in a way I've learned to carry on without it, some wavers in severity, some rarely if at all and some shakes me to my bones at the thought of it. How it all boils down is beyond my jurisdiction... Continue Reading →
I was looking through my high school yearbook the other day because I'm a nostalgic masochist and I noticed something beyond the fact that somebody should have introduced me to tweezers sooner. There's this phrase written several dozen times: Never Change. Huh? Forgive me, but what a stupid thing to say. And yet it's scribbled... Continue Reading →
