I woke up this morning at 3:15 for no good reason. I remember being startled and assumed for a moment that I’d been jolted awake by an earthquake — only the dining room chandelier wasn’t moving. Weird. After a glass of water and shuffling around in the dark to make sure nothing was amiss, I […]
I was mesmerized by them. There I was on the couch, glass of wine next to me, Family Feud on the boob tube, donning my jammies before 8pm and fixating on two numbers. 3. 7. There they were, right in front of me. I could almost hear them laughing. 37. 37 pounds. It was a […]
Grocery shopping is something I enjoy. I make my lists based on the layout of the store, and methodically cruise around until every item is in my cart. Tonight I was fulfilling my single girl job description: perusing cat toys in the pet aisle. I was debating whether to purchase the wand with a wad […]
At a recent pedicure, my pedigal asked if I wanted to go big and get the callus remover. Sure, my feet could use some extra love. Let’s do it. I walked four miles tonight, and I’m a firm believer that taking part in said callus remover was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. […]
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, I had a boss who had an extra appendage: his Blackberry. You’d swear that the thing had its own blood supply, since said boss clearly wasn’t able to function without it. One morning, I got into the office a little early – around 8am, when […]
Did you know that refrigerated Duncan Hines home-style milk chocolate frosting tastes like fudge? I know this because sometimes I buy a 16 ounce container and, over the course of a few weeks, call a few spoonfuls dinner…along with a cocktail, natch. It lasts longer than an open container of most other refrigerated things I […]
I’d been looking forward to my mani/pedi all week. The toes needed some love, and I decided to go the gel route on my hands. I have no idea why. The last time I had gels, they were done by someone who — instead of soaking them off — would Dremel them off. While the […]
I pulled a muscle in my back last night trying to get into a Spanx bodyslimmer. A few months ago, I ordered a bridesmaid dress after trying on the store sample. The sample fit, so I ordered accordingly. Turns out the sample was stretched out, therefore the dress I ordered was too tight. “No problem,” […]
In three days’ time, I covered five airports, gave myself two heel blisters, broke a toenail, two fingernails, managed to consume the equivalent of two bottles of wine and accidentally ran over a fellow traveler’s foot with my wheeled, eager to off-road carry-on bag. Oops. I’m also not sure how it happened, but in the […]
I remember it like it was yesterday. I’d just received a letter from our neighbor’s granddaughter, and I tore into it excitedly. They were the days when you could never adorn an envelope with too many stickers, “K.I.T.” requests or felt tip marker doodles. We’d become pen pals after playing one summer while she was […]
