Dearest Body –Dude. I had NO IDEA how weak you are what you are capable of. No sugar, flour, or dairy for two days was insanely difficult. And all that YOGA. Man. You are all kinds of awesomeness.(I don’t judge you for insane chocolate cravings. And buying a bag of chocolate chips for no reasonRead the whole post >>
Irony. Also, Me Minus Makeup +Wet Hair.

(In our my defense, our other Mac is quickly dying. And Mike considered this an investment in my baby graphic design business. Wait, I don’t designRead the whole post >>
Saving Money. So Hot Right Now.
I’ve been voraciously devouring two fantastic books: Craft Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business by Meg Mateo Ilasco and The Anti 9-to-5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube by Michelle Goodman.

Nothing to do with New Years. Or 2009. Or 2008.
As a senior in high school, I knew that going to college meant being away from my parents and four younger siblings. Very, very far away. (9,500 miles, to be exact – a 24-hour flight away.) My family was living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and I was going to go to school in Ohio inRead the whole post >>
One Minute and Four Seconds of My Video-Induced Lisp.
Please note:* Mike is not that grumpy in real-life.* I do have that annoying laugh in real-life.* It was seriously icy.

Hope your 2009 starts off just the way you want it to – whether it’sRead the whole post >>
Nothing Says Christmas Cheer Like Funfetti.
It’s 2pm and we haven’t even opened our presents yet. Christmas as a grown up sure is different than Christmas as a child, eh?

Sometimes…
…cookies make a perfectly acceptable breakfast. …I enthusiastically jump the gun – like when I was in seventh grade and cast as lead in our school play. I assumed I’d be an actress and immediately started researching NYC’s acting school. I made a life plan involving modeling [never mind that I am five-foot-one], theater, andRead the whole post >>
Superwoman. For Real.
People are wonderful. They truly are. The number of kind, loving, wonderful individuals out there amazes me each day. Toady, I am inspired by one of the college students I work with. I work with one-hundred college freshmen, and it can be quite frustrating at times. My emails are ignored, my phone calls avoided, andRead the whole post >>
