I have been neglecting my blog for the last two weeks-ish. I always feel like I should apologize for doing that. But then I always feel like asking myself why it is that I let an inanimate object of the web 2.0 variety make me feel bad things about myself. Clearly it’s just a big [...]

Karma: both a bitch and a dinosaur. Discuss.
I had a dream last night. Or rather, this morning.
You know that weird 20-ish minutes before the alarm goes off, where you’re in the deepest level of REM sleep? You know how sometimes, on this blog, I make shit up and it sounds like I know what I’m talking about? You know that time?
I was [...]

Downward Bear
“Hilary, no wonder your back hurts – you haven’t been doing your exercise things lately. You know, that exercise you do…you know.”
“Uh, no Dad! Please, enlighten me! What exercise thing is it that I do?”
“You know, that funny Japanese thing! You know? You know!”
“Ummmm, no.”
“Yeah, it’s Japanese, like tai-chi. Or like aerobics. Hilary. Don’t act like [...]

Every dream that you wish will come true
“I dreamt about food processors last night. And also, Abe Lincoln.”
“What do you think that means?”
“That Abe has a hankering for pesto and would like me to have all appropriate tools necessary to whip some up for him?”
“Yeah, it probably does mean that.”
“Or the ghost of Abe Lincoln is taking over Santa’s job and will [...]

And by the by…
I hear you, and I apologize for not posting for a week.
This week has been a flood of emotions, and I’ve been a hot mess. And I’m pretty sure the internet has enough of those already.
Engagements, deaths, inner-office drama, and $64 million dollars have all entered my realm of existence this week and I can barely [...]

Weekend Recap: In which I turned 24
Also in which:
- My sweet boyfriend, The Mister, took me to the Symphony for some Mozart, Williams, and Brahams. Very thoughtful, very sweet, very pretty. And then, said boyfriend took me to a late night dinner (which is my very favorite kind) at the Oxford Hotel. Very retro, very ’30s, very us. Thanks for the birthday [...]

Not Martha
Before we get too ahead of ourselves here, I would like to say that there is a web site called Not Martha somewhere (NotMartha.com perhaps?) and I am eternally sad that I wasn’t able to get that domain name. Because really, if you’ve read this site ever at all, you’d know that Not Martha is [...]

Just one more reason why my mom is awesome:
Me – “Bye Mom, I’m off to The Mister’s * house!”
Mom – “Um, do you expect this to be a late night? Not a late night? I just need to know when I should report you missing. You know, to preserve my motherly street cred.” (Yes, she actually said “street cred.” I taught her that, you [...]

I’m wearing my excited pants right now – are you?
Exciting things are happening, Internet!
Exciting Thing #1: I am helping my lovely friend Allison with some wedding planning – her wedding is in three weeks (yes, we know, but fear not. Who’s not stressed? She’s not stressed! I’m a little stressed, but I’m not the bride, so that’s something we can deal with…I think…) and we [...]

Cocoon. He lives in one.
“I wonder where those bugs come from.”
“What bugs, Dad?”
“The ones that eat my apples every spring.”
“Oh. Well, I’m in marketing, so I’m not really the expert on bugs.”
“I bet they hibernate.”
“I don’t think bugs hibernate.”
“You know, like in their cocoons or something.”
“A chrysalis isn’t like a sleeping bag. I think it’s a one time deal [...]
