Last week, while putting on the most minimal make-up I deem I can get by with, and feeling inner pride that I successfully wore the exact same outfit four days in a row without anyone knowing (working from home FTW), I was thinking about how… ahem… not old I am. I am frequently reminded of my age when … More an adultier adult
Two years ago I made my first New Year’s resolution. It wasn’t very nobel or anything, just something I felt like trying for the year: to write one silly rhyming poem every day. Turns out I’m ok at writing rhyming poems on a whim, but when I feel forced to write one a day my mind blanks–and I didn’t get very … More i see you, new year…
Milo has had a lot of good quotes in his life. One of my favorites was the time he said, “Whenever I meet a new person I make a new friend.” My boys have always been my example for being sociable with others. The problem is, as an adult (with a loner-social tendencies) I sometimes … More being an adult outside your comfort zone
A couple of weeks ago I finished what might be one of my favorite books: Unfair, The New Science of Criminal Injustice. Yes, I get it’s not the catchiest title. But the whole time I was reading it I couldn’t stop thinking, “Everyone should read this book!” (Just ask Tyler, I talked about it nonstop.) … More from unfair to unjudgmental
Last January I made my first ever New Year’s resolution. And, probably needless to say, I didn’t keep it. Which, from everything I see and hear, isn’t too far off from most people’s resolutions. And the #1 reason why I never made one before. That, and the inability for me to understand why you can’t just … More my list of not resolutions
With the temperatures dropping I have pulled out a favorite accessory to buy (even if I have issues outfitting them): tights. Because of the spacing in my wardrobe I was forced to split my socks and tights into separate [cardboard] boxes. Leaving me to realize that I have about 3x more tights than socks. Let me assure … More no tags for you
Sometimes I miss having a dog. Every time I see someone picking up after their dog with a plastic bag I remember why I don’t want one right now. At least not until the boys promise to take care of it – because we all know that’s the magic time to get a dog. Every … More living vicariously through youtube
I have a double pull every Saturday it seems. I want to sleep in and relax after the craziness that is my Monday thru Friday. But at the same time I want to jump at every adventure New York presents to me. This Saturday most of my schedule has been made for me. This is … More saturdays
What? Two food posts in one week? That’s weird because I don’t even like food. Once I heard that your taste buds change every seven years, so something you may have not liked before could one day become a favorite. I’m not sure how true that really is, but it’s always kept me trying things … More taste buds and chocolate
Today I was thinking about what I could be good at. Do you ever do that? Like sometimes I wonder, did I make the wrong life decisions about my talents? Should I have chosen traveling the final frontier instead of writing? Maybe I’d be the one to get us living on the moon. Then … More fuzzy judgement
