A few years ago, when I was working at Borders, I had the chance to meet Anne Lamott, who is one of my very favorite authors of all time. When she came to speak at my store, I was delighted. My manager knew from the fact that I CRIED when I heard she [...]
I’m trying to be positive, but I don’t wanna go to work tomorrow. Not even a little.
Still, trying to see the good:
1) A clean house
2) Meals planned for tomorrow
3) Payday is just a day away
4) My lessons are planned for the week
5) I can totally handle 45 more working [...]
I received an email from a very sweet friend recently, inviting me to a wine dinner for the winery her husband works for. I love her and wine so it seemed like a fun thing to do. Until I checked the date: April 21st.
My birthday.
I had to write her back and decline politely because I’m [...]
Um, let’s actually start with what I did NOT do:
—wear makeup
—wear clothes that were not made of velour, cotton or other sweatpants-ish material, save for the times I left the house to see friends
—watch anything that made me smarter
—talk to anyone under the age of 21
All in all, my break was pretty fabulous. [...]
In order to start kindergarten, I have to take a screening test. As we walk into my brand new school, I read the signs, pronouncing “OFFICE” as “OFF-ICE.” I hold my parents hands and we enter a small room. A nice lady has me read, count and put together a puzzle. [...]
It’s been 3 days since I’ve done Grace in Small Things, and the good news is that it’s because I’ve been INVOLVED in good things, not just blogging about them…

2) Getting a lot accomplished on my portfolio.
3) Cutting off ALL of my hair…still a [...]
My old roommate was really obsessed with YouTube videos and she showed me this one. I think it’s extraordinarily beautiful, maybe because I love San Francisco and the idea is so happy.
Enjoy!

By the way, the song is “Heartbeats” by Jose Gonzalez. I downloaded it immediately and the rest of his album is excellent, [...]
1) Finally being able to pee without pain, thanks to meds, cranberry juice, water and sleeping.
2) Jon & Kate are NOT getting a divorce. I am so happy for their adorable children.
3) Enjoying a dinner at Olive Garden and not having to cook.
4) Breakfast plans with my dad and brother [...]
Dear TLC,
I feel like we know one another really well now, you know, since I’ve spent the last three days of my life half-sleeping on the couch with your shows in the background. And let me say, well done! The episodes of “What Not To Wear” proved both interesting and informative and I [...]
1) Saying “no” to something I’d normally say yes to, and feeling no guilt because I knew I needed to take care of myself.
2) A really delicious veggie burger for dinner.
3) Sleeping in ’til 11.
4) Re-discovering an old favorite soundtrack and letting it play softly while playing Scrabble on Facebook with [...]
