I got a wild hair this weekend—haha, see what I did there?—and chopped nine inches of tangles into a chin-length bob, which was sort of a ballsy move for me, considering Id been growing m...
1. Eaten baked potato pizza. It tasted like it would taste if a person carrying a platter of potato skins collided with a person carrying a pizza, and calamity ensued in such a way that the pot...
I have some things that I would like to discuss. The first is that Jared Leto is currently at my office and I am not. Trust me, Im not even sure how this actually happened—how he came to be at ...
You may remember that Sean wrapped up a tire for my birthday a few months ago with the promise to build me a tire swing. And it turns out hes a man whos true to his word! Go on, add your swingers jok...
Oh god, Ive become the sort of person who gives her blog posts titles from TS Eliot poems, have I? Apparently I have. I do apologize, but every time Ive had to lie on one of those crinkly paper-...
We are currently in the middle of a bathroom renovation, as you may have guessed from the title of this post, which for some reason I saw fit to write as though I was rapping it (there are just so ma...
I am recapping, excruciatingly slowly, the two-week trip we took to South Africa last year.Here is part one, about our layover in Paris; here is part two, about Cape Town; here is...
I am fueled, for the most part, by instant gratification and so the idea of getting our house in shape slowly has been one that Ive had to adjust to. When we moved in almost two years ago—almos...
This isnt going to be anything you havent heard before, but I am a compulsive list maker. I know, I know; you probably are too, right? There are tons of us, Ive discovered, who wrest control from an ...
So far this year I seem to be reading at a far slower pace than I was last year, and I know this because I did that crazy thing in 2011 where I wrote down everything I read each month and then told y...
This weekend, we were in the slightly unusual position of having two housewarming parties to attend (plus, oddly enough, a book launch and a two-year-olds birthday party. Is there something ab...
Quite honestly, I can barely stand to watch this video anymore since it took me seven bajillion hours to make it and if I never hear the opening bars to Paul Simons Graceland again it will be far too...
I have made a terrible trade. Back when we started driving to work together, Sean and I came to an agreement which—now that I think about it—we came to way too easily for him not to ...
Hey, you know what we havent done for a really long time? Laughed at terribly unflattering pictures of me for sport! I know its not Tuesday—although, honestly, when was the last time I actually...
I am recapping, excruciatingly slowly, the two-week trip we took to South Africa last year. Here is part one, about our layover in Paris; here is part two, about Cape Town; here is part three, about ...
Im just getting over a weird 24-hour bug, which began in the wee small hours of Tuesday morning, when I awoke to find that someone was stabbing me repeatedly in the upper abdomen. A swift and panicke...
I think this may be the most suburban thing Ive ever said in my life, but here goes anyway: were having a bit of trouble with gophers on our front lawn. I said that to a friend last week in a bar, an...
One of the things Im trying to work on getting over is my fear of changing in front of other people. Changing clothes, I should clarify. I mean, Im sure you knew thats what I meant anyway, but now Im...

I have been feeling unfailingly nostalgic recently. You might argue that I am always unfailingly nostalgic—and its an argument youd win; it does seem to be my default state—but I am feeli...
I had a whole different post lined up and written in my head—what, they dont count when you write them in your head?—but I have managed to spend the entire evening embroiled in one enormo...
Between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, I kept a collection of notebooks in which I wrote down inspirational quotes, song lyrics that seemed impossibly meaningful at the time, and the sort of pensi...
The first indication that our trip to Knoxville might not have been the most well thought out plan was when I accidentally booked my friend Alison on the wrong flight. "See you at the airport at...
Well, I guess Im going to have to start a brand new life list now, considering I just crossed off the number one item on my current one.
I say "no worries" far too often. Im not sure where I picked up this decidedly Antipodean affectation, but I cant stop saying it. Actually, I do know where I picked it up; I picked it up fr...
Oh, Ive been meaning to ask you: how was your Presidents Day? It has not, hitherto, been a day Ive ever had off work, and so when Sean and I both realized we had a holiday, we swiftly decided to thro...
One of the things Ive wanted for a really, really, really long time is a red front door. Pretend each of those "reallys" is a decade and you get the idea—alright, maybe not a decade, ...
I am recapping, excruciatingly slowly, the two-week trip we took to South Africa last year. Here is part one, about our layover in Paris; here is part two, about Cape Town; and he...
This is the second part of my super duper Nobel-prize winning Important Mascara Research, which is the kind of thing that makes people question whether you have anything better to do with your time.&...
