All I have going on right now is: Getting back into the Bar Method habit. I only went twice last week, which is.. a huge waste of money, to be honest. My best friends wedding. I spent most of last ni...
I could spend hours looking through the found photos at the Melrose Trading Post.

I love the internet. Its a vast space and its full of opportunity, and a lot of those opportunities are related to delicious foods. If there were no internet, how would I ever know where to eat, real...
I decided to take advantage of a less high-stress week at work (not-so-coincidentally: the week where I have the office all to myself) by scheduling all my during-work-time errands. Which basically m...

FC has pretty much just become "Drea and Stephens Date Night." Which is a sad set of circumstances but is really fine by me. I dont mind sharing a bottle of unfiltered sake with one of my bes...
I once heard this hairstyle referred to as The Blogger Topknot. Thats cute, but for me its more like the My Hair Is Gross And Im Not Going To Do Anything About It Right Now Topknot. As D said, "I...
I wear jeans a lot. With tees and flip-flops on weekends, or cardigans and flats for work, or spiky boots and a floaty tank at night. Lots of jeans. Mostly jeans. But I love dresses. I have a closet ...

I was hoping that less coffee would equal more sleep would equal less vertigo. Couldnt do it. But seriously. Im slacking and if vertigo had balls, thats where I would kick it.
Well, its over. I have to admit, Im a little sad that I wont get to watch this show with you guys anymore, but I must also say: That was the most boring season of the The Bachelorette ever. Bentley c...
