In the spirit of the holidays — (And to thank all my readers and sponsors!) I have decided that a nice giveaway is in order. 🙂 The thing is, I can’t quite decide what to give away. I have gotten it down to three choices. And as much as I would love to have all three […]
So Claire surprised me with a bouquet of flowers on my birthday. (Her grandparents had paid for it, but they told me that she had picked it out and she presented it to me while shouting, “Heppy buh-she-dey umma!”) Of course I immediately placed the flowers in a vase and displayed them prominently on our kitchen […]
I met my 30th birthday with a bittersweet goodbye to my twenties. My 31st birthday began with projectile vomit. And today…. Today I face my 32nd birthday with subdued enthusiasm. Enthusiasm for my family. For my blessings. For my future. For hope. Oh, and the prime filet mignon waiting for me at my favorite steakhouse […]
The year was 1991. I was a young girl transitioning into an awkward mess of acne and hormones. Who knew that I was about to be met with an entirely new world of magic and wonders? I was at a sleepover. Despite what the media has you to believe, none of the sleepovers I attended […]
You guys, I discovered the best thing today… A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!! Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t […]
Did you all have a good Thanksgiving? Have you found any good deals on Black Friday? Because today is Cyber Monday — and because we are approaching the end of the year with the holidays just around the corner — I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite beauty products. The last time I […]
Ever since Aerin got sick last week, she has been super SUPER clingy to me. Before her illness, she was a pretty independent little girl. Now she needs to be held all the time — only by me, no less, and starts screaming her head off if she can’t see me. Even her two favorite […]
There are some things I find weird about myself (sometimes, in conjunction with others in my life) but I know there must be others out there who do the same…right? I occasionally weigh myself before and after pooping just to see if there’s a difference. (It’s never as much as I expect or hope.) Every few […]
I hope all my readers have plenty to be thankful for this year! (image source) As for me, I will be headed to two Thanksgiving dinners tonight. My mouth is already watering as I think about all the turkey + kimchi I will consume… (Yes, I eat them together and yes, it’s a rockin’ combo!) […]
Yesterday was a cool yet pleasant day. With temperatures in the low 50s and the sun shining overhead, I decided to take Aerin for a walk despite my lingering cold. (Claire was with her grandparents.) We walked the 22 blocks to my favorite children’s park and I sat Aerin down on a swing. She hadn’t […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
