Halloween is my ALL TIME favorite holiday. Seriously. I’m usually planning my costume for next Halloween on Halloween, and perfecting my plan months before October 31st actually rolls around. But, it’s not just dressing in costume that I love. It’s the scary movies, the decorations, the candy (damn fun-sized candy bars!), all the events and especially the Halloween spirit. I really...

Now that Dubliner Man Crush has called, and our conversations will hopefully and eventually cumulate into a date with the sexiest man alive [well, besides, that one from a couple weeks ago, natch], I’m aware that there’s a slight little problem: I’ve put him up on a pedestal. A far-reaching, tottering, teetering little pedestal. What are the imminent dangers of this? Well, that the chase won’t... Read more

UPDATE: Remember that random Dubliner Man Crush story?! Well, I got my haircut again on Friday. Who should happen to be sitting in the chair when I walk in—DUBLINER MAN CRUSH. Again. Unplanned. We just happened to make an appointment on the same day, at the same time, three months later. This is just getting weird. Turns out that witty and clever text message I sent him that went something along the... Read more

I just received the wig for my Halloween costume in the mail today at work. I wondered briefly if the mail room guy was wondering why I ordered something from My Wig Store, since obviously my hair is ridiculously, ridiculously full and luscious. (Oh, if only Larisa read my blog. She’d understand the ridiculously joke. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure you all think I’m totally conceited.)... Read more

“You look like a heartbreaker. I can tell. You’ve broken a lot of hearts, haven’t you?” said a man to me in the bar last night with a hazy smile and creepy lilt in his voice. “Um, no. Not really,” I responded, completely and utterly uninterested. I turned back around in my seat and took another sip of my wine. “Oh yes you have. Don’t by shy to admit it. You’re a total heartbreaker,” he... Read more

I think I have fibromyalgiadispepticnosis. Just joking. But really, the fibromyalgia is correct. I have had crazy muscle pains lately…I first started complaining about my knees. If I sit down for a long period of time—like at my desk or in the car—they’re completely stiff when I stand up, which makes me feel like an 80-year-old man. Then I had a stiff neck, which normally goes away after a couple... Read more

As most of you know, I spent last weekend in Leavenworth for Oktoberfest. Six of us—Bri, Kevin, Kristen, Adam, Larisa and myself—rented a condo within walking distance of downtown and brought plenty of food and booze, a couple of sexy costumes and good tunes—the perfect recipe for a party weekend away from home. Being the wild and crazy group of friends that we are, I knew the weekend wasn’t going... Read more

It took me approximately six or so gym-attending years, but I finally figured it out. If you want the ultimate motivation, you don’t need a trainer, you don’t need your iPod, you don’t need a magazine to read or a friend to run with. All you need is to watch The Biggest Loser while doing cardio, and you’re set. Let me tell you, there’s nothing like watching 15, 200- to 400-pound humans struggle... Read more

Last night, one of my all-time-favorite, proof-there-really-is-true-love, totally amazing and crazy cool couples got engaged.

And maybe even some of you guys are looking for ideas… Brett orchestrated an entire photo album of pictures with each of Angie’s best... Read more
