Oh hello on a Friday. I'm 38 now. I do what I want. Due to health concerns, family ruckus and obligatory Olympic dedication, I decided to take last week off. If the energy of the last blog I posted was any indication, I think it was best for all of us. In fact, you're welcome.... Continue Reading →
storyteller
You know how you see things on TV or in the movies and you're like - how stupid are you? Flashback to this weekend when I text someone, 'Houston, there no tp in here SOS!' to which the response was, 'You're in Houston?' And this is when I realized I had text the wrong person.... Continue Reading →
TIN YEARS
Ladies, gentleman, toddlers and peasants - it is with great pleasure I share with you that today is my 10 year anniversary in LA. One long and tumultuous decade ago I consumed way too much vodka, said goodbye to a city I love very much and boarded my one-way flight to LAX. No place to live. ... Continue Reading →
Days of Magic
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 Miss You
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 →

Roomies
In your lifetime, you're going to go through your fair share of roommates. Some will be awesome, some will be very not awesome, some will be your friends, some will turn into 'just somebody that you used to know', some will be your personal reason for the existence of whiskey, some will remind you of...

The Unofficial Superhero
Anytime any of my girlfriends have told me they are pregnant, there's always a split second of hesitance before my reaction because two thoughts cross my mind. The first one is OH MY GOODNESS, YOU'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A TINY HUMAN AND THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!! The second one is HOLY S#%* YOU'RE SOMEBODY'S MOM... Continue Reading →
I’m Old(er)
I find myself wishing I had the body I had 5 years ago. Then I remember at that age, I was wishing for the body 5 years before that. Sometimes I walk into rooms and forget why. I'm so stubborn I'll stay there until I figure out why and now valuable chunks of my life... Continue Reading →
Forever Young
If someone would have warned me what being a "grown up" truly entailed, I would have taken a detour to NeverNeverLand in hopes of becoming Tink's protégé. Fact. I, like Kevin Mcallister, could not wait to grow up and live alone. But on graduation day at Indiana University, I didn't get that grown up feeling.... Continue Reading →
