I’m in the middle of a non-vacation vacation. It’s non-vacation in that I’m still working my usual work week (actually, less than usual, because I’m holding it to 40 hours rather than 50ish) but a vacation in that I’m not in vacation. It finally occurred to me that my job and farflung team members mean […]
I’m kind of a princess about my hair. Perhaps it’s because it’s the only part of me that doesn’t get fat, or maybe it’s because I’m a princess about a lot of things, but even when I go through hippy periods where I forego pedicures and facial/eyebrow shaping appointments, my hair is still getting professional […]

There’s a big buggedy boo at work right now, which always forces me to do a mental course correction. Sometimes I think the biggest bit of consternation in my gourd is the fact that while I’m damned effective at what I do, there’s still a bit of pointlessness to it. It always comes down to […]
Last week, I started feeling my niggling little cold morphing into what was the undeniable signs of wimpy lung bronchities. Sometimes I wonder about living in an iron lung: could it really be that bad? Would you have to work on spreadsheets? Couldn’t you just say “Oh, sure, I could whip up that spreadsheet, with […]

I have been creeped out by the Old Navy mannequins for the last year. At first I thought it was the vaguely unnerving plotlines or maybe the strange accents used for the voiceovers, but I realized what was leaving me so unsettled today: it’s not that they don’t move, but rather, they don’t move when […]

OMG. That’s the best way that I can describe last Wednesday. “OMG” Yes, I recognize how broken it is that I am now reduced to Textese and that by very nature of all I hold dear in regards to words and language and the simple poetry of every day speech, but when some aggressive asshats […]

For real, you guys, I think I’m becoming a workaholic. My new job actually takes up all of my brain power at all times and also, no matter how fast I work, I can never keep up, like a hamster on a wheel, but I just can’t shake the feeling that if I hit said […]

You guys already know I’m a shameless product whore. You would seriously not believe the products in our house, and I’m not even talking about the ones I got for review when I used to write for the product blog. I just can’t resist fun little brands and tubes and unguents and the hope that […]
