Remember how I left 2 days open this week because I had no idea where the course of my life would take me? Remember how one of those days was Thursday? Well, the other one was yesterday. Brain-dead from yard work plus emerging from the last of a booty-kicking cold I suffered from all week, […]
The Great Vegetarian Challenge: Day 1 First of all, today is my 7-year anniversary living in Kansas City. It is next to impossible for me to grasp this. It seems just like last week that Aaron and his boss drove to Fayetteville, AR to pack up my entire life and stick it in a tiny […]
So today on Oprah she challenged her Harpo staff to a 7-day vegan diet. I have to say, it inspired me. I’m ready to take on a stimulating health challenge! But I can’t decide between vegetarian or vegan. So, my question to you is: Who’s with me? Which diet should we take on together? Oh […]
Well, there’s a huge, random dog in my back yard. Looks like I’m off to find its owner. Seriously, what is going on? First a bird flies into my house and now this? Wait, is this the apocalypse? I haven’t even brushed my teeth!
Last night we watched Inception. At least I think we did. I might have been asleep actually. Come to think of it, I had the weirdest dreams about dressing up like Leonardo DiCaprio, and I was hanging out with Ellen Page, and we were on a mountain, in some hotel room, about to crash into […]

I don’t want to make you jealous, but I’m flirting with a long weekend staring into my eyes. Thursday morning I venture south for my sister’s baby shower and I am counting the hours until I’m on the plane headed towards baby mania. To soften the blow for my husband, who will suffer immensely in […]
Words like “epic” and “colossal” are being thrown around by the weathermen as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like “hysteria” and “panic” are being thrown around in my head as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like “sissy” and “wimp-o” are being thrown around by my husband’s mouth as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like, “you’re […]
So you know how in the world of professional makeup sometimes artists use an anti-redness primer under the makeup? It’s supposed to alleviate red splotches on the skin and even out tone? Well guess what. I bought some, and I LOOK INSANE. Put a couple of bolts in my neck and call me Frankie. After […]
I always forget how much I appreciate a big salad for dinner. They tend to be a lunchtime staple for me, and so often the idea of coming home after a long day to a plate of lettuce leafs lacks a bit of satisfaction appeal. Plus, it’s winter. We are supposed to be craving starches […]
