There's really no way around it....

January was so hard. Working all day, everyday wasn’t the best thing. The snow is pretty but sometimes the weather was mean and hateful. Distances seemed farther, lights appeared dimmer, and every night after work my tote bag(s) felt heavier. January was so hard. 10 Highly Frivolous Items That Kept January Bearable: Laura Mercier Creme Brulee hand cream Essie Au Natural for the digis...

Men in Suits: A Monday Necessity

peoniesandponytails: I could talk about how gorge Claire Danes looked, or how stunning Mila & Hilary were, but my eyes were glued to these hotties: Sorry I’m not sorry. I didn’t watch the SAG Awards (I was otherwise occupied with strained string beans & sweet pots). Thank you for this!!

A newer model

 [Context. Last night. @Cafeteria. In the midst of a blizzardio.]
Me: So annoying.
Amiga X*: Yeah, she's blonder than me and she out-hips me. Ugh! I'm sorry but there is only one blond hip girl in the office and I'm her. [...] She produces podcasts.
Me: No?! She produces podcasts?!
Amiga X: Exactly. She blogs about the environment and I'm sure bikes... you know, like a lot. I just wanna be like sometimes I eat chicken nuggets and don't feel bad about it. 
 *Identities are to be protected. Especially when we get bitter.

Quotes from the trenches: A Sunday afternoon nanny...

Me: So, B, let’s pass the time while we wait. If you had three wishes what would they be? B (age 7): Well. [pauses, deep in thought] An unlimited supply of candy whenever I wanted it. Me: Duh. B: And that soda was good for you and I could drink it all the time. Me: Uh huh? B: And that Hogwarts was real. Me: Solid set, B. Very solid set.

There's this photo...

…of my parents on our hutch in the dining room. They’re at a concert (I haven’t a clue which one) and it’s definitely Summertime and they’re definitely at Ravinia. My mom is smiling an enormous smile and my dad is mid-laugh. They’re lying on their stomachs, propped up by their elbows, holding beer bottles. Whenever I head home I swear that I’ll make a...

Not to be weird/quirky but I’m afraid of my gas oven and refuse to use it. /please don’t judge. I grew up with electric appliances. haha. No judgment! None at all. You’re hilarious! You know, you could probably just cook the...

"When we think of him...

…he is without a hat, standing in the wind and the weather. He was impatient of topcoats and hats, preferring to be exposed, and he was young enough and tough enough to confront and to enjoy the cold and the wind of these times, whether the winds of nature or the winds of political circumstance and national danger. He died of exposure, but in a way that he would have settled for—in the line...
