Aaaand, we’re here… the finish line– the end of the 88-Day Challenge. All told, I’ve dropped 9 pounds. Not the 20 I set out to lose… but better than a stick in the eye, you know? But, with clothes that fit better and… Continue Reading
I severely overestimated the amount of time I would have this season… Which was silly of me… When has there ever been a holiday season that wasn’t exhausting and chock-full of activities? If we’re not AT a party/event, then we’re… Continue Reading
If you follow the blog regularly, you might recall a post I did several months ago about a Star Trek-inspired onesie (an infants outfit). The post found its way onto Reddit and was even featured on another craft blog! In the post, I… Continue Reading
I am a list maker by practice. I come from a family of list makers and thrive on the act of checking/crossing off something from my list. Kids these days put their lists on various electronic devices… and I get… Continue Reading
Can you imagine a world where avocados just grew on trees? Where you could walk out to your yard and pick a lemon for your Aviator cocktail. Or, grab a lime to squeeze over your watermelon. It’s a shame places… Continue Reading
Life is full of compromises. Unless you are super, well-off one of the compromises you make when you live in a big city is that space is at a premium. I am super jealous of Coralie’s ability to decorate her… Continue Reading
I have lived all my 33-years without participating in a single “Black Friday”… until this year. Saving 15% on an appliance never trumped my desire to sleep in after eating Turkey the day before. In fact, just thinking about storming a store in a mob of… Continue Reading
Our first Thanksgiving holiday in Burbank was lovely–full of friends, calls from family, and an amazing couple of dinners. Christmas is approaching faster than I am ready for and the first of the year is around the corner. 60 days ago, I made… Continue Reading

For some of you, Thanksgiving holidays have already started. For others, Wednesday afternoon will be here before you know it. For me, it begins today… kind of. I have some work to do and Josh is working the next two… Continue Reading
Yesterday was a great day for me. I was feeling much better (thankyaforaskin’) and was able to catch up on a lot of stuff that was on my list. I got to talk to some of my favorite people today… Continue Reading
You know when you don’t feel good you search out the warm and fuzzy? Hot cups of tea, curling up under blankets, even the warm and fuzzy feeling of Nyquil qualifies for this list. When you don’t feel good, you… Continue Reading
Time for another check-in. The past two weeks have seen a lot of interesting things go down. On one hand, I only went running three times in the past two weeks. On the other hand, according to my Up Band… Continue Reading
Sorry this post is appearing later in the day than our normal 5 a.m. publishing time, but (as I mentioned on Tuesday) I’ve been working! Not only have I been working, but I’ve been working 16-17 hour days on my… Continue Reading
And… so it begins. I got a gig, y’all; an honest-to-goodness Hollywood gig. I say, “gig” because it isn’t long term. In fact, it ends on Friday… but (if I play my cards right) it could/might lead to more. I… Continue Reading

I always love to hear what other people are listening to, watching, or reading. I love it because it exposes me to new things and tells me a little bit about them and their habits. It is Fall, which means… Continue Reading
