When I decide to eat “healthy,” that almost always means one thing — cutting carbs. All that other stuff you’re supposed to eat in moderation — bacon, cheese, butter, red meat — I mostly do OK eating those things in moderation. But pasta? Potatoes? Beer?! BREAD!?!? Nope, nope, nope, and nope. Give me bread or … Continue reading
Ever notice how, over the course of many years worth of family get-togethers, certain family members become famous for certain dishes? You know, these are Donna’s peanut butter cookies, Susan’s potato salad, Brian’s taco dip. Etc. And at some point, the family starts expecting these delicious creations, and Donna, Susan, and Brian become responsible for … Continue reading
So we did tons and tons of really cool stuff in Maui (snorkling! waterfalls! convertible! volcanic craters! infinity pool!), but one of the coolest things we did was visit this little hippie town on the north side of the island called Pa’ia. (I kept calling it “paella,” like the Spanish dish, but apparently it’s pronounced … Continue reading
Royal baby ROYAL BABY ROYAL BABY! Fess up — who else out there obsessively stalked all the reliable news outlets (aka Twitter and People.com) for two weeks straight, hoping to be the “first” to know about The Greatest Baby Born In Our Time? You’re in good company. Well, my company at least. And TGBBIOT didn’t … Continue reading
Any Lifehacker readers out there? I love Lifehacker, but whenever I read it, I get wayyy overwhelmed. I immediately feel like I need to download every app ever, reorganize my closet to perfection, do this, this, this, this…you get the idea. And then, rather than making a stylish lamp for $3 or removing water marks … Continue reading

We’ve actually got two separate work parties to go to (one for my company, one for my husband’s), and they’re both out in the suburbs, so we’re going to rent a car and spend some quality highway drive time. I actually love shortish road trips (anything under 2 hours, … Continue reading
Don’t you feel extra healthy when your plate has lots of colors on it? I mean, if your food is all one color, you’re probably eating brownies or mashed potatoes or Mountain Dew (also, you’re probably awesome). But when you’ve got orange sweet potatoes, white onions, red peppers, and green peas — along with a … Continue reading
I think we’ve talked before about how I am obsessed with skincare products. If you want to get me to buy something, just tell me it’ll make my skin look better/shrink my pores/prevent wrinkles/etc. I’ll just start throwing cash at you, 100% guaranteed. As you might guess based on this obsession (diligence? vanity? psychosis?), I … Continue reading
Did you know that you can send GIFs via text message? Well, I mean maybe you can. I don’t know what kind of phone you have. Maybe you don’t even have a phone! The point is, I recently discovered that my phone allowed me to send GIFs via text message, and I basically haven’t been … Continue reading
Happy Monday, friends! Isn’t it a great day? Well, maybe not for you. If you’re at work, that is. As for me, well, if everything goes as planned, I should be on a flight to MAUI right this very minute! Hahahaha! Sorry. That was me cackling gleefully. I’m just really giddy is all! I’ve never … Continue reading
