Storytime

Once upon a time, there lived a young woman who grew up in the Fireworks Capital of America and went to the City of Champions for college. In 2006, she moved with her boyfriend to Washington, DC, where she, a bright-eyed bushy-tailed college graduate, began working at a small nonprofit as a program assistant. Our […]

Yes, I’d Like Some Cheese with this Whine

I’m up for a new phone through my Verizon new every two deal and honestly I’m underwhelmed. Currently I have your slightly-more-than-basic phone – it makes calls, has a camera and videorecorder, it’s always worked well for me. I don’t need VCast (I don’t even know what that means) and I’m not going to pay […]

90s VOTW: “Come to My Window,” Melissa Etheridge

How did I not post a 90s VOTW last week? GAWD. Sorry, folks.
Anyway, this video features Juliette Lewis as a mental patient. Pretty big stretch for her, I know. Ha! I’m totally joshing! Well, only like 80% joshing. I love Juliette Lewis.
Loving Mel’s denim button-up shirt with the sleeves cut off. Larry the Cable Guy […]

Wool Coats in May

I’m beginning to wonder if dementors are breeding in Pittsburgh. I can hardly complain, since I moved back here at the end of February, when the ground begins to thaw and the slush somewhat subsides, from the mild winters of Washington, DC. (Seriously, if the air guessers even predict three inches of snow in the […]

Is it just me

Or could

and

Martha Plimpton (you know, that one girl from The Goonies)
TOTALLY be brother and sister?

I’m only doing this because I have to

Write this post, that is, since I agreed to this NaBloPoMo nonsense.
This weekend: beaucoup parties + a German-American couple and their one-year-old son = FUN TIMES.
See yinz later!

Dear Celery,

Why are you so disgusting? Seriously. Also – why do you exist? You taste so bad, and your texture is so stringy, and you are a droopy shade of green. No one likes you. People pretend to like you but really they just eat you after they’ve drenched you in ranch dressing or blue cheese […]

Drained

Things I did today:

had a very insane and hectic day at the office
went to happy hour with a dear old friend from high school
came home and wrote a chapter of my book

Therefore, I am tired.
But here’s a picture of one of my cats!

He’s cute, look at him! Don’t mind me, curled up in the corner […]

Already?

I just had a “need help conceiving?” ad in my sidebar on Facebook. Guess they think this is gonna be a white wedding.
I believe Amy called it, just a few weeks ago. Although she thought (and I did too) that the pregnancy/kids stuff would start after my status changed to “married.”

90s VOTW: “Ironic,” Alanis Morissette

Hey, isn’t it ironic how all the lines in this song aren’t really ironies, they’re just bummers? Ha ha! A little 90s humor for yinz…
Another Pop-Up video fav! From what I can recall from those informative little bubbles, the four Alanises are supposed to represent different parts of her personality – red sweater Alanis is […]
