What is worse than the anticipation of a vacation? The counting down of hours and saying, "a week from now I will be doing __________." That was always one of my favorite things to say. I love to recount events in times of weeks, months, and years. I say it after the event, noting the... Continue Reading →
there-ness
I like nothing more than to be present for the little events in one's life that don't get the recognition they deserve. When people think of events that matter in a person's life, they think of something like a wedding. I would rather be the first phone call (or even text) when they become engaged...

Hair products, dresses, fitting in
Maybe this isn't common, maybe it was just me since I was so uncool, but I have always idolized girls. Girls that are more popular than me, prettier than me, have better clothes than I do. Girls like this are not hard to find, in fact, it's hard to find a girl that doesn't fit... Continue Reading →
weekend getaway
My sister came over and decided she wanted to get away tomorrow evening for her long weekend. She bought a book, and we looked for Bed & Breakfasts online. She found one she liked, I think probably because the description said it was the perfect place to curl up with a good book. Here is... Continue Reading →
Working hard is hardly working
To work, I wear high heels every day. I straighten my hair, put on slacks that I have unwrinkled in the dryer. I put in some earrings and curl my eyelashes. And then, the second I get home from work, I peel off the slacks and trade them in for some sweatpants. I take off... Continue Reading →
Sweet September
Ah, September 1st. I awoke to a definite nip in the air and put on my fuzziest sweat pants and a fleece the second I stepped out of the shower. I dreamed last night that it was snowing and roused myself only long enough to snuggle farther down into the covers and allow Tucker in.... Continue Reading →
posers, moochers, besties
The friendship that can cease has never been real-Saint Jerome(whoever the hell that is)I have this theory about friends. In my head, I can hear people scoffing at my use of the word, so let me rephrase. (It is no secret that I am friendless). I will use the term "friends" loosely in this post... Continue Reading →
less is more
My dad used to tell me that the more you have, the more you need to spend as a result. I think this was a convenient catch phrase for him to use around Christmas and birthdays, and somehow always made me feel guilty about asking for things. Now that I buy everything with my own...

3rd anniversery
My husband sent a dozen roses to my work. Here are a dozen reasons I love my husband: 1. He doesn’t complain if I don’t make the bed one day2. When I tell him I plan to buy clothes, he rationalizes it away by saying, “I buy booze.”3. He is passionate about everything he loves... Continue Reading →
bottle, Leo, baby
I was driving home today listening to my ipod on shuffle, and what are the odds that two songs in a row had the word, "bottle" in them? But you could hardly know it, because Kate Nash says it like "bah-ohl," and Julie Roberts says it like "bawwddle." I found myself pronouncing the word over... Continue Reading →
