When I woke up this morning, two things were immediately clear: My sinuses, one. And two, it’s kinda chilly out. I can’t even describe my joy. I bounded out of bed. I was a happy, slobbery puppy. I got coffee. I did a little boogie. I applied eye makeup with ferociousness and without fear. I [...]

Today I’m tired. It’s been building. This morning I woke up and I looked at my clock and I could not, for the life of me, make my eyes work. I blinked and blinked. Granted, I wasn’t wearing glasses so that may have been part of the problem right there. I could see numbers, but [...]

Let’s hear it for Starbucks Instant Coffee!!! And if you think I’m just getting all my free samples from Wayne and ML, think again. All you have to do is walk near a Starbucks in the Loop and someone hands you a sample. My ‘bucks downstairs gave me four yesterday. Which means that in addition [...]

1. I am laying off the caffeine. (you: what?!) You heard me. I just had a mug of tea for breakfast. (you: tea?!) Yes. I have been making tea for myself in the morning. The reasons for this are twofold: Firstly, I have a whole lot of tea in my house. So muchthat it warrants [...]

Today I have been rocking out to the sweet sound of Lisa Loeb in my own head. It just keeps playing. I don’t know why this happens from time to time, you just wake up and it’s like there’s this inevitable soundtrack to the day that you can’t escape. So to celebrate, I put a little [...]

If you are not familiar with allthe lyrics of “California” aka the OC theme song, then I’m sorry that my blog title does not make sense to you. And a little bit sorry that you do not watch the OC. That said, by Wednesday Night This Week I will be in California (California) (Here we come)(ooooh). [...]

Today I have this travel mug that Katie made for me SO LONG AGO. I was still at my Trinity apt. with Kayla when she gave it to me. I can describe the apartment with only one descriptive detail: Kayla had this silver wire hanging basket, one of those three-tier hanging baskets. It was usually [...]

Just wanted to see if I can write a date-related pun in every subject heading. I can. So today I have experienced two miracles. They are, in order of amazingness:
1. The train was empty when I got on it this morning. Did you get that? Empty! This is no hyperbole. Every car that passed me by [...]
Leap, year!

This morning I pretended it was night time which… didn’t work. I focused on the ground and grey sky and just thought, “It’s 5:00. It’s 5:00.” I have no idea why I did this, except that it was interesting. Kind of like when you sit in a spot in a familiar room where the room [...]
Oh the humid morning

Today was the weirdest warmest most humid day to be wearing a winter coat and scarf. By the time I got to the train I really believed that sweat was going to start dripping down my face and everyone would be giving me that gross “you’re sweating” look. You know the look.
The reason I couldn’t [...]
