My life on the G-List begins…

Okay, so we all know I’m obsessed with gaining a spot for myself on the celebrity A-list. We can look at my move to New York as one step in that direction. However… After slaving away at my Newport News apartment all day, I arrived at my Fairfax home with just enough time to toss [...]

Running out of Time and One Liners

Tonight I am on the verge of the biggest move of my life. It’s like I’m looking over a great precipice, knowing that I will fall and I’m excited but mostly terrified. What if my parachute doesn’t open? What if there’s actually no parachute inside my pack? Is this a let go and let God [...]

Maybe I like my Hamsters…

Anyone who knows me even slightly at all knows that I am hopelessly addicted to The Sims (any version).

Mighty

Back in the land of Suburbia, I find I’m spending most of my days doing very little which is, let’s be honest, exactly how I like to spend my day. I’m still job searching, of course, fretting over how the apartment search is (or isn’t) going, attending to whatever little tasks Mom has left for [...]
