(photo: MontgomeryFest) mon dieu, y’all. how les temps they do seem to passe vite. we are just 2 months out from Le Grand France Voyage of ’15! and obvs, i have not yet started my Rosetta refresher. eesh. also, i have not yet focused too much on what i want to do while we’re there. […]
Moreit’s Groundhog Day, y’all. i’m writing this early, but no matter what happens this morning, you know there’s gonna be 6 more weeks of winter, right? that is always the way. in Atlanta, we’re looking at some solid 50-ish temps and sun for a while. woo-hoo! but that doesn’t mean it won’t be Snowmageddon again […]
Morewhoa. what a thing today. for real. Spy is gone, so there is all kinds of crazy single mommy/girl time goin’ on around here, plus it is rainy and grey. i used it all as an excuse for 2 things. first, we are seriously knocking out some of the Valentine’s projects from that Pinterest board […]
Morei feel like such a season pusher here. it isn’t even February yet and i’m already posting about Valentine’s Day. personally, i think Valentine’s Day is a commercialized load of well crap fraught with unrealistic expectations and inevitable disappointments (thanks Hollywood and Madison Avenue). that said, there are so many completely cute things to make (and eat)! with […]
Moreyay! it’s a big Friday around here: Miss Girl makes her acting debut this afternoon in a video we’re shooting for a client (free talent is good talent on this budget). i can’t wait to see how she does pretending to make popcorn and watch a movie with her fake family. speaking of fake families, i […]
Morei am one of the biggest slackers on the planet. seriously. yet also, i’m one of the biggest to-do listers. shockingly, to my knowledge, there is no multiple personality thing going on here. whew. but so wtf, right? honestly, living with me has to be kind of insane (even if not clinically so). just ask […]
Morei know, i know. the Northeast is in the middle of a blizzard and no one up there loves winter right now (hang in there and stay safe, everyone!). you probably don’t love it either. i know i don’t. but i actually have been thinking about this post for a few weeks because, once you […]
Morewell, oops! i just realized i never hit Publish on this Sunday night! no wonder y’all haven’t been loving on it. lol. belated deliciousness ahead . . . i’m so incredibly into soups right now. it’s winter. they’re easy. and i can bring the leftovers for lunch until pretty much forever. strolling the pasta/beans/rice aisle […]
Morejeez, y’all. it seems to be taking me forever to get through a book lately — if i get through it at all. i still blame the months and months i struggled with The Goldfinch for throwing me off. i had been on pretty much a 3-4 week/book clip for over a year when that […]
Moreokay, so i know those of you following along are like whoa. wait a minute? who’s this Lily? where. is. Pennies??? excellent question, y’all. in just the way that sometimes, you don’t choose a dog — the dog chooses you — sometimes, you don’t get to choose the name either. even if you’re four and […]
Moregod, things are getting completely exotic around here, right? i call this “random Asian” because it mixes some Indian, Thai and Chinese influences, incorporating curry, Siracha and, um, stir-fry. and chopsticks. definitely chopsticks. also, i just needed a title that sounded more appropriate than “random shit i put in the wok tonight”. also, i actually […]
Morefor several months now, we’ve been telling Miss Girl we would get a new dog. ever since dear Maury went to the great puppy pasture in the sky a couple years ago, our home has felt like something’s missing. something about the combination of 2 dogs and a cat just always felt perfect. and an […]
Moreoh my god, you guys. i can’t take it anymore. Atlanta has been under siege of frost and fog for 40 days and 40 nights. okay, fine. maybe only 4 days, but i swear if i have to wake up one more morning to find myself submerged in cold pea soup, i may not survive the […]
Morei know i’m cursing a lot lately. i think i’m just getting more comfortable here and worrying less what my mom and Spy think. not that they don’t know how i speak in real life OR ever even read this. that said, about this post. i am a big, big lister. i always make to-do […]
More(photo: Geeks of Doom) i fucking hate awards show season. hate it. it’s just one more reminder that i’m no longer cool and obviously don’t get out enough — or simply don’t have blissful, meandering periods of free time with which to do things like go see movies or watch any television that’s not on […]
Moreokay, busted. after a 5-day streak of complete athletic awesomeness, i totally admit that i have now not worked out in 4 days. four. so while the consistency of my physical self-improvement kick swirls around in the toilet (oh yeah, the cleanse is kaput, too), i figure the least i can do is not let […]
Moreyesterday morning when i woke it up, it was 10° outside. TEN. that is almost single digits! i know y’all up in the Northeast or over in the Midwest are all what? that’s nothing. bless your sweet, frozen hearts. one of the reasons i live in the South is because i’m too delicate a flower […]
Morephoto: (perezhilton.com) mmm-hmm. so yesterday morning when i was all like yes, 2015, bring it! immo do a buncha stuff starting today and totally rock it. yeah! yeah, that. by the end of the day yesterday, i’d already decided to blow off the Blogging 101 thing. no, not because i’m a slacker. the first assignment […]
Moreokay. that chalkboard is a little all over the place. but so am i. i think i need to create a new “i must be crazy” category for posts. here it is, Monday. i’m back to work after nearly 2 straight weeks off. shit is about to hit the fan for the next 8 hours […]
More(photo: indiegogo.com) did i tell y’all that i have the best husband in the world? i may have mentioned a couple times in the past month (or at least once) that we are going to Paris. my wonderful birthday present a few weeks ago was that he officially booked the trip that we’ve been talking […]
Moresorry. i couldn’t resist. every year for the holidays, my dad sends us a crate of citrus from Florida. various kinds of oranges, gorgeous red grapefruits, tangerines . . . you name it. finally a couple years ago, i bought a juicer because, i mean, a person can only eat so many oranges, right? best. […]
Moreanyone else having trouble remembering what day it is? omg. i’m on day 3 of a 5 day break from work and am pretty much in a complete days daze. it’s freaking fantastic. so when i realized on the way home from the vet (fluids for Mr. P) that today is Friday, i thought what […]
More(photo: pixgood.com) spoiler alert: this is not about actually running and has nothing to do with a Dixie Chicks song. or kittens. sorry. yesterday morning, i hunkered down for the very important work of reading my new month/new year horoscopes. this takes some dedication, y’all. and about 3 large cups of coffee, apparently. it’s a […]
Morei grew up eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day for good luck. it’s just what we did. and in Virginia, it’s pretty much what everyone else did, too. you didn’t ask why, you just did. and if you missed ’em and had a bad year, well the next New Year’s Eve, you were more […]
