So, I don’t talk about it here because there are a gazillion food bloggers far more talented than I, but I really love cooking. A lot. I find it relaxing and fun, and I enjoy having yummy dinners and lunches and good food.
The other reason I don’t blog it much is because I am not [...]
Thanks for the comments, emails, texts, calls and such on my rather melancholy post yesterday. We all have those bummer days, you know? Now, it’s on to bigger and better things. And even in the midst of the crap, there are my hilarious friends and co-workers, glasses of wine with my mom, hugs from my [...]
I am beginning to think that I’ve done something wrong. Like, not an oopsie, “forgot to pick up milk at the grocery store!” but some serious cosmic error that has resulted in life taking a huge crap on me.
I wish I was kidding.
Last night, I met up with my good friends, Gina and Katy for [...]
It’s absolutely freezing today for us Californians. There is a high wind advisory in effect ’til 11 pm tonight, and this morning, when I stood outside to do yard duty, I thought I might die in the windy weather. I checked my iPhone, and it said that with windchill, the temperature felt like 49 degrees, [...]
I know that I’ve sort of become known for my little “first world” problems rants about my life, but can I just tell you about the most recent situation to really chap my hide?
PENS.
I am particular about my writing utensils. And by particular, I mean absolutely anal retentive. I hate ballpoint pens. I like pens [...]
So yesterday, we were supposed to have dinner with my family, as we often do on Sundays. Unfortunately, my dad is not feeling well. He finished round 1 of chemo, and was having some difficult side effects. My mom left me a voicemail to let me know that dinner would probably be canceled, and I’ll [...]
This is my second time participating in the 20SB Blog Swap! This time brings a bit of an “overseas flavor” as I was paired with the lovely Elly Rarg of New Zealand! I’ve always wanted to visit there, and now, I have an even better reason. Her writing is lovely. I hope you enjoy her [...]
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I LOVE Anne Lamott. Seriously. She wrote this little gem for Oprah’s magazine, and I just think it’s lovely.
For all of us who are figuring it out, learning, growing, changing or just hoping to do any of the above, I think this hits the nail on the head.
Happy [...]
This week, a blog/Twitter friend, Jaka, tweeted that she was reading 139 blogs and asked, “Is that normal?”
I had to reply and tell her that I read over 200 blogs. I got a TON of questions about this and how I manage it. Some were impressed, and some were incredulous about how I could POSSIBLY [...]
I am so looking forward to the weekend. My first week back at work really flew by, but I am ready to sleep in with no alarm, to sit and drink coffee on my couch, see my family, read and enjoy not being at work. Oh, and go back to the dentist, because I am [...]
