i wrote this post back in the fall for an online publication. though they promised they would use it, they never did (cue "wah wah" sound effect). but their loss is your gain. because i've decided that it still deserves internet exposure. so, there. i never believed i was quite "cool" enough to don a fedora. ...
did you really just ask that?
things that i am thankful for: friends and family who refrain from judgement and/or derogatory comments if when i inevitably ask a seemingly ridiculous question. (see also: google) take for instance last night. as i drove home from dinner with dear friends, i called my mom to chat (don't worry, i was using my blue tooth). and ...
she must deep-condition
i love the internet. for so many reasons. most notably when it leads me to articles such as this. because suddenly, a) the world doesn't feel so small (and i really like it when that happens) because i can't help but be bonded by anyone who shares as deep of a love as i do toward anything ...
penning a new future
i have learned that life doesn't come with a reset button. and though she sang a lovely song about her attempts at finding one, cher did not find a way to turn back time. but despite the fact that "be kind, please rewind" doesn't apply to life's events, on occasion, if we're lucky, we are doled out ...
welcome to the world, blue ivy carter
this weekend maya rudolph returned to her snl roots, this time, as the night's guest hostess. and her performance was nothing short of spectacular (duh). but of all of the skits she participated in on saturday (and she rocked them all), this one takes the cake by a landslide. and throw in the cameo from mr. ...
i just want out of these pants: stories from the dressing room and beyond
there i was, standing in the handicap stall at work in a full-on fight. i'm not even kidding, guys, it was a real battle. so who was on the receiving end of this lover's quarrel? oh that would be none other than my "no limit" tank from lululemon: yes folks, though i have worn this garment as part ...
reviews, ramblings and an ode to george & abe
so if you haven't noticed (and totally fine if you truly haven't, i realize your life does not revolve around reading my blog, though part of me kind of wishes it did...), i haven't been posting as often. and while things have definitely picked up a bit at work (hooray!), it hasn't been due to ...
the trouble with labels
label. a brief description given for purposes of identification. (see also: characterization, classification or brand). labels. like it or not, we all use them: male or female. rich or poor. blonde or brunette (or redhead?). democrat or republican. herbivore or carnivore (i think these actually apply to dinosaurs, but go with me on this one). ...
fanning the flames
my high school experience probably looked different from yours. much different in fact. but i wouldn't change it for the world. there's a badge of honor that comes with both surviving and thriving as a big fish in a little pond for for a portion of your life. and the people you share that ...
sig alert
them: so why is it that you don't have a boyfriend? me: oh he's on his way, he's just stuck in traffic. even two years later, it's still the best response i can think to give to the age old question.
