so i'm not sure if y'all have noticed, but i have been remiss in recounting uber exciting and in turn "blog-worthy" stories as of late. and well, this is obviously a direct result of the lack of uber exciting and "blog-worthy" events in my life. now this isn't to say that my life has not ...
when in doubt, go with the weirdest
i like to think i give pretty good advice. and like most useful counsel, it usually stems from first-hand experience. and if you don't believe me, maybe a recount of how i spent my saturday evening would provide evidentiary support? k, cool. balderdash. this word can be described as one (or more) of the following: a) fun ...
rinse, wash, repeat
now i wouldn't call myself a domestic diva by any means (i'm pretty sure to hold that title you have to bake pies from scratch and use lemons down your garbage disposal to make the kitchen smell like citrus, or at least subscribe to martha stewart living magazine. and i, i do not do any ...
six degrees
it's become habit. just one step of many in my post-pure barre routine. as soon as the final muscle has been stretched and the mats have been polished with the finest disinfectant sprays (hygiene first!), i remove my grippy socks, slip on my gold sperry's (or old navy's much cheaper alternative), grab for my keys, ...
it’s not you, it’s me: a relationship with my running shoes
this weekend was the carlsbad half marathon. and the full version, too. and two years ago, i was amongst that group of nervous runners, clad in my finest nike tempos, my race number proudly displayed on my chest. don't give me that much credit, i wasn't aiming for 26.2, but half of that. which is, ...
a change in plans
sometimes weekends are filled to the brim with plans. sometimes they aren't. and sometimes their scheduled activities fall somewhere in between. this past 48-hour work-freefest began as the former, ended up as the latter but was no less glorious as a result. and i suppose the culprits for most of the change in plans were none other ...
sole renewal
i love shoes. but then again, i think that comes with having double x chromosomes. i also have larger-than-the-average-sized petunia (petunia = a name i am giving to petite girls who seem to have the perfect little ballerina-sized tootsies) feet. they also may or may not be wider-than-the-average-sized petunia, too. so you know, they've presented their challenges over ...
from the archives
so i'm totally ready to return to those times when all i seem to do is write about me and dating and our awkward relationship, k? you're so relieved, aren't you? ok, so i was just doing a little perusing through some old blog posts on the former home of tjnt&rs (rolls right off the tongue, ...
wanderlust
wanderlust noun. a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about. with each new calendar year comes a blank 365 days. 365 fresh canvases to splatter with the paint of life (how's that for a metaphor?). and one of the things i love most about those unmarked 24-hour increments is the fact that i can fill them ...
on looking back
ah, nostalgia. like that nasty winter flu everyone and their mother seems to be coming down with these days (as she coats her hands with purell), i am currently nursing a bad case of nostalgia. i'm not exactly sure what has brought it on, but i suspect it might have something to do with the fact that i ...
