My apartment, not surprisingly, has mice. They got into one of our bags of dog food yesterday, so today I took my lunch at The Container Store. This store is the mecca and hub of all things I adore. The ocd in me can be fully indulged as I roam every aisle dreaming of how [...]

So I took an informal survey of my friends and asked them to describe me in one word. Mostly everyone balked and either refused to answer or came up with a list of 10 words. Here are the answers I got: Human, Elegant, Pink, Superstar, Particular, Opinionated, Sister, Superf-ingawesomebff, Intriguing, Beautiful (in mind, body, and [...]

Here are a few things that have been really bugging me lately: If you are a smoker, don’t be an asshole too. Stand downwind from EVERYONE, not just your friends. And put your damn cigarette all the way out when you’re done. Don’t leave it on the ground, throw it out safely.  If you are [...]

I had the absolute worst flight of my life tonight, flying from New York to Virginia. It was raining in both places, and probably all along the coast so we bobbed and weaved through the sky the entire 45 minute flight. The plane wasn’t even big enough for a galley cart – the type of [...]

So today I came home from work to find this: I squealed like a little girl. Normally, I do not believe in putting clothes on dogs. However, Baby C is too cute for words in his little red polo. You can’t really see them in the picture, but the shirt has little blue whales on [...]

My coworker liked my Pam idea so much that she came up with a “The Office” prank of her own. I just got a call from Jim Halpert pretending to be Dwight K. Schrute – which was really my coworker’s husband pretending to be Jim. Best. day. ever.

Every time our phone rings, I want to say “Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam.” I told my coworker via email and she almost died laughing.

I love presents. Everything about them. I would give presents every day if I had the money. And that’s not because I like giving expensive presents (though those are my favorite kind), but even giving small things costs a little. And it adds up. Anyway, I have the same problem every time I get really [...]
