Longtime readers of this blog may remember that I have not always been great at packing leftovers to take for lunch. Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve really turned that ship around and now take my lunch four or five days per week. I think my hurdle was always portion control, but I finally … Continue reading

Do you organize your grocery list by where things are located in the grocery store? I remember discovering that my mom did this when I was little and being amazed by how much of a genius she was. It blew my mind. Such a clever trick would’ve never occurred to me, I was sure. As … Continue reading
Did anyone else watch Chipotle’s new…thing…this week? I’m not completely sure how to describe it. It seems to be anti-Big Agriculture propaganda in the form of an internet-only TV show that is…surprisingly entertaining? And with higher-than-expected production values. And to be clear, that’s Chipotle, as in the restaurant with the burritos you can’t finish. I … Continue reading

So today’s kindof a good-news, bad-news day for me. The good? No work. The bad? I am finally sucking it up and getting my wisdom teeth out. Booooooo. Have you guys all done this? I feel like I’m pretty late to the wisdom-teeth-out party. They’ve never especially bothered me, and none of them are impacted, … Continue reading

Don’t ask me why, but whenever I do one (which used to be never and now is occasionally), I can’t help but picture some big, hulking, masculine … Continue reading
Things I loved when I was little: ketchup, BBQ sauce, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, salsa, etc. Things I hated when I was little: tomatoes. Things I haven’t 100% come around on even though I am practically 30 years old: tomatoes. Stupid, right? It doesn’t make any sense. But at least I’m in good company: Bon … Continue reading
With fall here and football and basketball season upon us, I’ve gotten a great idea* for a new smart phone app. I don’t use the calendar app on my phone for every single little thing, but I do make sure to use it for things that I’ve scheduled more than a few days in advance … Continue reading
