So tonight I broke my 21 day juice fast with a cucumber. And I felt guilty. Guilty of eating. Of course it was necessary since it would be quite impractical to have continued while in Mexico, lugging a juicer and Vitamix into a different country. And it may also be unnecessary in general in that I’m ...
More like SMASHED! (sigh …) So I awoke yesterday to find that some crazy person had banged into my car between 12:30 am and 6:30 am in its parking spot. No note (of course). I did have the hope that this was one of those dents they could take a plunger (or whatever that tool is) and get out easily, b...
Yesterday it became quite clear that my hair just wasn’t quite working. This realization was all thanks to the bizarro overhead security cameras at J. Crew and H&M as I went with Belle to buy a few vital things I still needed for Mexico. [Basically, I felt I looked best in Bikram after the “...
I needed to swing by H&M today to get a few things for my Cancun trip –– like white t-shirts etc. –– and in the pile of things I bought, I realized the clerk had forgotten to remove one of the security dye tags they have to discourage shoplifters. The thing is that it’s an $9.95 t-shirt –– and my...
Such an intense day, I don’t know where to start (well, I know when it started –– at 5:30 am and that it’s midnight and I’m still working away) … however, even though I’ve just spent a few hours watching the videos for Hoot Suite and the last thing in the world I now want to d...
So today, on Easter Sunday, I decided it was time to finally remove my beloved live Christmas tree from my wonderful garden. I loved this tree so much –– as did all the neighbors and those who could see it –– but perhaps 3 months after the fact, it’s time to take it down. Since it was kept outside, i...
I find this picture –– part of a series of 33 Most Beautiful Abandoned Places –– quite haunting. It’s even more compelling that it has since sunk into the ocean. Yesterday I saw a terrific possible sublet situation (although a little too expensive) and awoke to find an email saying that the owners ha...
So I’m going to graduate school (sorta). I’ve decided to opt-in to the HootSuite University (free for my trial period and then $30 a month afterward) because well, there’s just no fighting this social media thing. I feel both early and late to the party –– and I keep fantasizing about an ...
As I try to rein things in and simplify the volume of activities that I feel are incumbent upon me … my DATA went crazy. Meaning, AT&T texted me to tell me that I’ve used up 95% of my data for the month in the first 4 days of my billing cycle. Clearly something is wrong –– and they totally ...
