In Junior High my 8th grade class had to write an essay on voting: right or privilege? Since it was assigned to everyone in my class we debated this “issue” during lunch. These discussions never got too intense because we couldn’t really grasp what it meant to vote. Ok, I never really grasped the concept. [...]
Lately a lot of my posts have featured clothes that I have or would love to have. It is fall, after all, my favorite season, and I always get excited about switching up my wardrobe at this time of year. I can finally wear all my lovely sweaters, jackets, tights, and boots – once the [...]
Remember how I mentioned last week that my weekends are lazy affairs where I sleep in and do whatever comes to mind? Turns out I lied – not all weekends are like that. This weekend made up for a lot things I didn’t have a chance to do during the week like clean and organize [...]
Dear J. Crew, Your clothes are lovely. You must know how I much I admire you – I visit you online all the time, sometimes checking in twice or three times a day. I hope that you don’t find it uncomfortable when I tell you that I love everything in your closet, especially these: I’ve [...]
I can’t imagine anyone liking Mondays. I usually tolerate them, gritting my teeth every time someone asks about my weekend. My weekends are usually wonderful – two glorious days of sleeping in, going out, or just hanging around – and having someone remind me of those lovely days irritates me.

The Good Rene and I booked a winter getaway to Park City, UT in January. Yay! We are sharing a condo with another couple (hi Erin and Jeff!), and are in the vicinity of three ski resorts. Plus, I hear that one of them is Skiers-Only, which means that the number of times I will [...]
What’s in your bathroom at work? The only reason I ask is because mine at work is, er, unique. Unique in that I’ve never seen so many things cramp the space next to the sinks. There’s an air freshener, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, and a clock radio. A clock radio that plays smooth jazz all [...]
We all have quirks, something peculiar to our personality that makes us unique. What are your quirks? Asking my family if they have tickets to the gun show, Christmas 2007. I’ll go first. As a child, I used to fall sleep to Soft Rock. My family wasn’t part of a band, and my parents weren’t [...]
Last week was one of those crazy weeks at the office. You were busy the instant you walked in and still had a lot on your plate by the time you ambled out of there, past 9 pm, exhausted. Nights were spent anticipating the workload for the following day. Thank goodness the deadlines are over [...]
