As you get older, things get more complicated...and by things I mean everything. There's a huge difference between the stress of who you're going to pick to be on your red rover team and who you're going to choose to be in your wedding party. There's the crumpled five dollar bill you chase an ice... Continue Reading →
Perfect Illusion
I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile the other day and the first thing he said was, "You always look like you're so happy!" (He follows my social media) I smiled but inwardly was thinking I'm glad it looks that way because it doesn't feel that way. I looked through my instagram... Continue Reading →
Funny Girl
I like to laugh. Call it deflection, call it free therapy, call it what you will but I like it. I like it A LOT. I also get insane amounts of happy making other people laugh, which is how I became wrapped up in improv. The moment someone discovers I do comedy, I have put... Continue Reading →
Seat Taken
There are people out there who don't like me. Crazy right? (Kidding) We all have our haters. I consider myself a fairly mature adult and there is still drama in my life and surrounding me that is comparable to kindergarten playground showdowns. Call me a fool, but I had some magical notion that people would... Continue Reading →

WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. This does not only apply to Spider-Man. This is not only for superheroes, CEOs, politicians and the suits of Wall Street. This is for each and every one of us because power is simply the ability to do something. Power isn't exclusive or classified. Power isn't always a gavel,... Continue Reading →
Somebody I used to Know
It's always extremely humbling when something you were so sure about doesn't go according to plan. Whether it's a game, an audition or a relationship, it's never a good feeling to be wrong. It's like wearing the losing team's jersey long after the game is over. Everyone knows things didn't exactly go your way which,... Continue Reading →
The City of Angels
I bought a one way ticket to LA. No job. No place to live. Just a plane ticket and an overweight suitcase. I don't always make rash decisions but when I do, I'm a maniac. I have now been in LA for over 6 years. It's the longest I've ever had the same address in my... Continue Reading →
The Plus One
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a midwestern handful, sports enthusiast, sarcasm specialist, lover of all things magical and vodka infused, book nerd and wedding connoisseur. Weddings are my jam. What started out as a business transaction has now become a very expensive party in which two people celebrate their love by... Continue Reading →
A letter to my brother’s future ladyfriend
[PREFACE: My brother insists that he's barely mentioned in my blog, if at all. So this post, which just so happens to fall on his birthday, is dedicated to one of my favorite things on this great big Earth: Tyler Kodros. Happy Birthday ya filthy animal!] Dear whoever you are, First off, I think it's... Continue Reading →
The Mother of us All
I've never considered myself a nature person. I'm somewhere between Cher Horowitz and Dora the Explorer. I don't know how to pitch a tent. Until this past year I had never used my sleeping bag outside of my living room. The thought of not having a bathroom within walking distance sends me into a state... Continue Reading →
