Guys, I am a mere 24 hours away from VACATION, and I can barely contain my excitement. I’m supposed to do work today? Doubtful. Pretty doubtful. Where are we going, you ask? Maine! I’ve never been and I can’t wait. My husband is having a big birthday this weekend, so we’re taking a long weekend … Continue reading
Is anyone else surprised by how much they’re enjoying Weird Al Week? I had pretty much forgotten Weird Al existed (except for the rare – and excellent – moments when The Saga Begins would randomly pop up on my iTunes), but BANG! This week he just knocked it out of the park releasing a different … Continue reading
Do you guys remember how I stupidly dropped my iPhone while reaching for a big block of cheese at Whole Foods? And then — amazingly! — got it perfectly fixed by a sketchy guy in a garage for $85 cash? Dumb move turned into a lucky break, right? Well, in the words of Britney, oops … Continue reading
I feel like “chutney” is one of those inherently funny words. You know how some words are just inherently funny? (Wikipedia does!) Duck is inherently funny. So is kumquat. Rutabaga. Cantankerous. Caboose. …this is fun. [Ricochet. Pajamas. Octopus.] Since chutney always seems to pop up in jokes, I guess it must be inherently funny, too. … Continue reading
Confession time, guys — I am a recovering Lean Cuisine addict. As in, addict. As in, ate 5+ per week. As in, would get to the grocery store checkout counter with nothing in my cart but Lean Cuisines, granola bars and wine. What can I say? Age 25 was a simpler time. My favorite was … Continue reading
Sometimes I worry that you, my internet friends, think I’m a little…frivolous. You know, like all I do all day (besides meticulously photographing everything I eat) is watch Breaking Bad on Netflix, or freak out about the Duchess of Cambridge’s clothes, or troll Buzzfeed reading silly lists like The 33 Dumbest Things That Have Ever … Continue reading
Growing up in the Midwest, I did not go to the beach very often. In fact, I was 8 before I ever saw the ocean and 15 before I saw it again. I think this lack of beach-familiarity gave me a very healthy respect for the ocean. I mean, I like it, and I’m not … Continue reading
In news that will surprise exactly zero people, I am beyond excited for Princess Kate’s three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. She’s already knocked it out of the park with the amazing red coat she wore getting of the plane. Although apparently it is very windy down under, because it looks like she came … Continue reading
Did anyone happen to catch this article in Salon a few months back? It’s called “I’m Not Ambitious, and That’s OK,” and I was really glad to read it. I feel like there have been a lotttttt of articles and books lately about women “having it all” (ugh), and — as this writer pointed out … Continue reading
Guys, have we talked about How I Met Your Mother recently? I know we have before, but I don’t think we’ve talked about this alarming theory that The Mother — the one we’ve been waiting nine long years to meet — might actually be dead. Have you heard this? It’s making me inappropriately nervous. I … Continue reading
