Will do, Mary!
Allez Cuisine!
I have been on an ongoing quest to cut down my spending in all aspects of my life. As you may or may not know, I have some mild food-hoarding tendencies (thank you, family), so I have a well-stocked pantry and freezer. It's strange -- when I'm at the beach house, I love the Iron Chef-like challe...
Spring Cleaning
I'm in the midst of spring cleaning. Yes, I'm cleaning out closets, scrubbing tile, and dusting in places that haven't seen the light of day in months, but I'm going way beyond that. I'm cleaning out the clutter to start... Continue reading

Stuck in my Head: Hang Up The Phone
One of my all time favorites from back in the day (had a brief cameo in the movie Sixteen Candles). Became irrelevant with the invention of call waiting. Continue reading

Reunited (And it Feels so Good)
Spending some much needed QT with my college roommates; we haven't really hung out since our trip to Vegas in 2006. Waaaay too long!! Continue reading

Rant of the Day
I don't know why these little things at the gym piss me off so much, but in addition to my issue with people who don't put locks on their lockers, I have a huge problem with people who use the... Continue reading

Only in New York
I'm out walking Moxie late last night. We approach a tree, where Moxie starts sniffing and a guy walks towards us with his larger dog. Him: "A rat!" Me (thinking that he is insulting my tiny dog): "Hey!" Him: "No,... Continue reading

Hibernation
Sorry for the crickets around here. I haven't been hibernating per se (although today's frigid temps certainly make me want to), but I've certainly been laying low. Despite that fact, it seems that I'm battling the plague that has been... Continue reading
