I was in yoga last night, which is my favorite place to be on a Tuesday night. Because of all the running I do now, as well as all the sitting I do all day, my shoulders cramp up and pop and crack and are constantly in pain. Physical therapy, massage, stretching, sitting on a [...]

My story is much too sad to be told
And practically everything leaves me suddenly cold. *
Yes, that’s right. It has snowed. Yet again.
Upon backing out of my driveway this morning, I saw my neighbor’s beautiful red and gold tulips were capped with white, like little hats. They were fancy, those tulips, and clearly had put on their hats to do something fun. Off to the opera [...]

Sitting, waiting, wanting
Oh you guys.
I’m going to cut right to the chase: I have a case of the wants. BIG TIME.
But before we launch into a list of all the things I want, I alaso want to preemptively state a few things:
Number 1: I know, I KNOW that having a large amount of material wants is a) shallow-seeming and [...]

It’s the end of the world as we know it
Happy daylight savings time, everybody.
It’s practically dark here still.
Lame.
Why did humans decide to jack around with the time/space continuum like this? I mean, I know it’s only an hour, but it’s dark and cold and it feels like the end of the world now, or like the setting for Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.
The only bonus [...]

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 [...]

Today
I’m eating Lemon Burst Yoplait and dreaming.
Instead of working in an office in the CO, where I’ve lived all my life, today I’m thinking of what it would be like to live a completely different life. And really, the title of this post is inaccurate, as it implies that I’m only doing this today.
I dream [...]

Unsolved Mysteries
Well that explains it.
It seems I have been published on The Morning News, the bastion of west coast irreverency and hipster cool.
Which is what I try to be every day, despite living in a square state with no coast and working for a corporation, which is the opposite of hipster cool. But I do own [...]

What we’re doing today
Reminding me why is it, exactly, that I don’t look good with Taraji P. Henson’s hair? Why shouldn’t I cut all my hair off? Can anybody think of a good reason?
Because I can’t.
Other than the fact that I had that haircut once and it looked wretched on me. But no matter! I am stubborn! I [...]

The gift that keeps on giving
So, as previously discussed, I got some sun in Mexico.
I was looking fairly to moderately hot last week.
But now…
My skin is peeling off. I’ve gone from red, to splotchy, to kinda tan, to peeling.
I look not unlike a swamp thing. But only on my stomach, my ankles, and half of one leg.
Let this be a [...]

Saturday Night, Oscar Style
The Scene: a group of friends are at a very noisy bar. An ’80s cover band is playing “Video Killed The Radio Star” and lots of awkward frat boys are slapping each other and high fiving all around the bar. The friends have just been bowling and our young female protagonist is fresh from a [...]
