Today I’m meeting my new roommate for the first time. Sound weird? Not as weird as it was to live with someone I found on Craigslist after the friend from college I was living with bought a condo with her boyfriend and had to move out. I could go on for days and months about how annoying this chick from Craigslist was. But I’ll save you the details. I recently asked Craigslist Chick to move out, and... Read more

You know what I think is hilarious? This Twilight obsession, and how it’s completely normal for late 20-something girls to be going gaga over a book that was written for 12 year olds. But it is unacceptable for a girl to not really be on this whole Twilight bandwagon. I know my feed counts will probably drop after this, and I’ll lose tons of blog readers just because I stated that I’m not really on... Read more

I’ve decided to start a little series here called “Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! (Saturdays for Breakfast)” because, well, bacon is amazing. Close your eyes and repeat. I’ve been a lover of all things bacon for as long as I can remember – I ate it every day for three years at my old job, until I started working at my new job and my boss was a vegetarian who threw a stink every time I...

Keeping in tune with the title of my blog… Last night the BF and I were finishing off our very, very expensive jug of pinot grigio (expensive wine is the only way we roll, yo!). Also, in case you were wondering, very expensive wines only come in jugs. Or boxes. Do it. Anyway, I couldn’t get the effin cork to fit into the bottle. I got all worked up, made a commotion and screeched, “It’s too tight... Read more

Every month or so, I seem to get a request from a friend for a book recommendation. I think they all know I’m an obsessive reader (perhaps the gigantic color-coordinated bookshelf was an indication). I always try to rattle a few off with very animated, circular arm motions of HOW.much.I.LOVE.this.book, or direct them to my Facebook weRead page. So, I decided I’d share some books on my blog and just... Read more

Can someone please tell me what’s so special about lululemon athletica? I have heard nothing but great raves about it – and my super sporty best friend owns a ton of their stuff and practically wets herself every time her boyfriend buys her something from there. But, I’ve never stepped foot in their store because I was always like, “Well, I’m not really into yoga, so I’ll spare myself that... Read more

This past weekend I headed up to Victoria B.C. for a friend’s bachelorette party, with a teeny stop along the way in my old college town to stay with a nearest and dearest friend on Friday night. I haven’t been back in more than a year – and haven’t stayed more than one night since I graduated four years ago. But, as soon as I drove around the Evergreen-lined bend of the freeway and saw the... Read more

Here’s an embarrassing little TMI fact for you – I have a weird obsession with men’s deodorant. Like I love, love, love the smell of it. I love to hug my boyfriend and kind of nuzzle my nose a little bit in the general armpit direction (or yah know, poke my nose directly in it) because his deodorant just smells so.damn.good. Why don’t they make women’s deodorant fragrances an extension of our... Read more

I was explaining to Bestie Amanda last night my “In Limbo” post, and she had a great amendment – “It’s like a limbo between feeling like you want to go out and that it’s sooo much fun, but then once you’re out, not really enjoying yourself as much as you remember you once did.” Precisely. I should just have her write my blog for me. Anywho, a number of you... Read more

A little photo album of our night out last night, which included corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot, Irish soda bread, cheesecake and strawberries at one of my best friend’s house, then bar festivities at T.S. McHugh’s in Queen Anne: P.S. I kinda want to eat cabbage out of a crockpot every day now. Lucky... Read more
