  • Maybe I'll wear this?

    Maybe I'll wear this?

    In my new suburban life I do things like go blueberry picking, ride my bike, and drink gin and tonics with married women. As a result, I’m also looking for a tennis outfit. I figured I’d check ebay first … and I stumbled across this little gem. I’m pretty sure all the Lululemon moms would…

  • Dinosaur Oatmeal

    Dinosaur Oatmeal

    “Can I have some dinosaur oatmeal? … with a spash of milk and a smidge of brown sugar?” I spend a lot of my time these days hanging out with my little brother Jake. He’s a pretty awesome kid, yep I know I’m biased but ask any of my friends and they are likely to…

  • I'm back… and better than ever? Maybe?

    Its officially been a month (and a little bit more) since I last did a blog post. I feel naughty. But its not as though I’ve been slacking off and merely twiddling my fingers… if that helps at all. 🙂 Since May 2nd, I’ve had some incredible experiences and made a few bigger life changes.…

  • My little bits of Heaven

    My little bits of Heaven

    I’ve had a very social weekend with some great friends. Its good to keep busy and I think I’ve had a busy few days. One thing that I have done twice this weekend is have bagels with friends. There are very few things in life that I find more enjoyable than an everything bagel toasted…

    This just seems silly … What's on your head?

    I saw this picture on Gawker.com and it just looks a wee bit silly. I get it lady, your hat is awesome and you don’t want it to get wet… but haven’t you told your children that they shouldn’t put plastic bags over their head? Don’t you think “your look” is ruined a bit by…

  • My afternoon snack

    My afternoon snack

    Using my new “china” …. for those that know me, I like to use paper plates so I don’t have to do dishes. I know shame on me for the environment. So, its some greek yogurt, with blackberries, walnuts, and honey drizzled. This is my new comfort food.

  • Apartment Hunt Update

    Apartment Hunt Update

    Epic fail. Remember when I talked about looking at apartments yesterday? Well, they were all failures. I’m going downtown again this morning to have bagels with my friend Caitlin and my sister. They are both pretty awesome – so its worth getting up early to hang out with them before they go to work. Maybe…
