I’ve got some major money issues. My friends and regular readers know that, especially when once I spent my last $8 on milk, Oreos and a pint of Snickers ice cream instead of buying basic necessities like real food or gas to get to work. I don’t need to get into the history of my spending abuses. What I do need is to seriously focus on how to change them. I’ve been talking about it for months, and... Read more

I’m too old to be on The Real World. I’m not married, engaged or in love. I don’t own a house or condo. I’m too old to choose the “other option” if I get knocked-up. I’ve never lived with a boyfriend. I’ve yet to call another city home outside of Washington state. I need to make a Grad school decision soon. I don’t have a retirement plan or health insurance. BUT I finally discovered... Read more

Yesterday morning I woke up to sunlight streaming through my bedroom curtains, bathing my bedroom walls in a soft pink glow. If I had three wishes granted to me, I would wish to wake up every morning to sunlight. It somehow makes the day seem that much better. It also makes me antsy to get the hec outside and enjoy the day. Especially when we’re in the middle of winter, and the sun in Seattle is so... Read more

I’ve made a mistake. Quite possibly a huge one. I’ve started watching Grey’s Anatomy. I rented the first season, and while it was somewhat entertaining, I wasn’t hooked. Then I rented the second season, and I can hardly think of doing anything else besides going home and watching the next episode. I’ve turned down multiple social engagements to be by myself, curled up in my bed, watching hour... Read more

Last weekend I went to see Blood Diamond. I’m going to spoil the ending of this blog before you even read it: I’m never putting a diamond on my body, and you can quote me on that. If some sad sack buys me diamond earrings or even worse, a diamond ring, I’m going to take a trip down to the local pawn shop and hock the damn thing. I’ve always talked to my friends about how I’m just not a diamond... Read more

Thanks to all of you who ventured out on Saturday night to celebrate 25 years of my life. I had an amazing time with all of my friends, who really are like family. As the night progressed, the food and jello shots dwindled, and my buzz continued to skyrocket, my drunk and generally giddy disposition allowed me to become a little sentimental. I scanned the room and realized that I am more fortunate than I... Read more

While chatting on the phone last night to my somewhat newly Single and Fabulous friend, Larisa, she posed a very interesting question. “Why do all of you guys always talk about how it’s so great to be Single and Fabulous, but you always have to have a guy on the side?” Sheesh. Talk about calling me out. I was taken aback for a minute. I mean, she comes to me about all the dating and single advice... Read more

Wednesday night, Sarah and I braved the supposed onset of Snowstorm 2007 and ventured downtown for Bodies…The Exhibition. I’ve been dying (Ha. Ha) to check the exhibit out, given all the hubabaloo and controversy surrounding it. While it was supposed to be over in December, and I feared that I had missed the chance to look at the preserved Asian men, the exhibit now has been extended through April... Read more

Last night I ventured down to Hula Hula, a “newer” bar on lower Queen Anne. Hula Hula was previously home to Watertown, a bar that I never patronized, and well actually stayed far, far away from. More than one person told me about the “coke bar” reputation about Watertown. And, well, that’s just simply not my scene at all. Terrible rumor to be going around. Tragic, really. Wonder if it had...
