You may remember that Corey and I had recently acquired new roommates. (See Why I Have One Thousand Balloons As Roommates.) My original estimate of 1,000 was a little high. Apparently it was 75. As you’ll recall, these balloons took up residency on February 14th, 2012. Around two and a half months ago. They all [...]
Once upon a time there was a girl* who worked in an office. It was winter, and it was cold. This nameless girl sat with her back a few inches from the radiator. The building was old and poorly insulated. Her office was freezing in the winter. Or would be, if there was no heat. [...]
For Valentine’s Day, Corey filled our bedroom with balloons. Almost two months later and our house is still full of them. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving. It’s almost as if they’re holding some kind of dance-off. A balloon-off, if you will. If so, this one is clearly cheating. And this one has [...]
I’ll give you two clues. What? Isn’t it perfectly clear? Fine! I guess I’ll tell you the whole story. Three years ago I walked up to a Virgin Mobile kiosk, and I said “Sell me a phone! No price is too cheap!” $30 later, I walked out with a small red flip phone that [...]
I’m a writer. And what do writers do? We write, of course. Most of what we scribble will never see the light of day. And for good reason. Stephen King (and many others, I’m sure) said that your first million words are just practice. Badly spelled, poorly alliterated, cringe-worthy drivel that you wouldn’t wish upon [...]
Have you ever had one of those moments when the universe grabs you by the collar, smacks you upside the head, spins you around on your heels, grabs your chin and forces your head in the direction of someone, screaming, “Him (or her)! You belong with HIM (or HER)!” My boyfriend and I spent last [...]
Day One Moved into a new apartment. Day Seven Wanted cookies. Investigated cupboards. Shocked to find we didn’t have any cookies. Day Eight Thought about making cookies. Investigated fridge. Shocked to find we didn’t have any butter. Day Nine Bought butter. Day Ten Left butter on counter to warm up for baking process. Forgot about butter. [...]
I’m having a moment. Please bear with me. (Note that six words into this post I had to stop to figure out if it’s “bear” or “bare” or a third mystery spelling I’m unaware of. I googled “please bear with me” and found whole blogs dedicated to the phrase, and several forums of people discussing [...]
Jeepers, what a crazy few months! I have so many heartwarming, intellectually stimulating, morally reassuring and devilishly funny stories to share. You see, after my last post on September 19th (where I wrapped up my road trip) I had the best of intentions to continue updating my blog regularly with all of the charming hijinks [...]
