Day # 11, 544: Happy Thanksgivnukkah, y’all! I trust you are either elbow-deep in a turkey’s innards (or a jiggly tofurkey, if you’re an herbivore like me) or pulling out your menorah and frying up some sweet potato latkes. Or both! In between all that holiday prepping, I hope you have a moment or two […]
Unique wedding locations are the cherry on top of a joyous occasion sundae. When my good friend Ev discovered her soulmate, I had an inkling that the wedding was going to be a one-of-a-kind. After all, her new Mr. just so happens to be a musician in one of my favorite bands. (I will admit […]
Day #10,936: My lovely gal pals and I had already let the bon temps, as it were, roulez, having enjoyed a magnificent day of swamp boatin’, beignets, and gators (both live and cooked- we’re thorough that way) in the glorious city of New Orleans. But there was still one absolute, can’t-leave-without-it, Must Do remaining on my […]
For all my bravado about leading a wild & unbridled life, I am a girl who craves order and resolution. Which is precisely why I’ve been enticed into this mesmerizing My 2012 in Pictures Trend that was (key word: was) circulating. I know… I’m so late to the party. Bringing-appetizers-to-the-party-after-guests-have-either-left-or-passed-out-on-the-lawn Late. But I just can’t […]
A friend recently got Mr. M & me Disneyland tickets at a super-discounted rate. So super-discounted that I snapped them up and didn’t think twice about when we might possibly have a free day together in Southern California. As it so happened, Thanksgiving weekend provided the perfect excuse. Day #11,174: As obnoxious as it sounds, […]
One of my dearest friends Ms. Dani recently bridged The Great Divide and celebrated her 30th birthday. Because she has brought so much awesomeness to my life, I wanted to step it up and toast her new decade in appropriate, triumphant glory. Day #11,156: After getting stuck in ridonkulous gridlock bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 405 […]
When I was in fifth grade, we each had to pick a U.S. state on which to do our report. Everyone wanted Hawaii, California, Alaska, or Florida because- duh- those were the Cool States. I drew out of a hat and was given the option of Alaska (which drew hushed gasps) or Michigan. I chose […]
I’m not known for my stick-with-it-iveness. I crave the temptation of adventure. I collect hobbies and possible future careers (just saw a breakdancing troupe perform in the subway this morning, BOOM, wanna be a hip hop dancer. It’s a problem). As Jonathan Safran Foer said so eloquently, I feel my bones strain under the weight […]
