Please Forgive Me And My Slacker Ways
First off, I must apologize because it feels like a million years since I’ve updated my site. Every week, I swore that I’d write a post all about my latest goings-on, but then something would inevitably get in the way—i.e. a hike, a trip to the grocery store, or a “Battle of the ADAs” marathon of Law And Order: SVU on the USA Network—and I would get distracted, leaving my laptop to remain unopened on the dining room table.

A Few Of My Favor!te Things
When my amazing publisher asked me to contribute to their annual Favor!te Things list, I immediately jumped at the chance. Well, actually, I hopped carefully. See, I recently slipped in my kitchen and have a huge black and blue mark across the left side of my body, so I’m really in no shape to jump wildly. If you’re interested in knowing what movies, music and memes I was ob-sessed with in 2010, then hoof it over to YourItList.com. Careful,... Read More
In Case You Were Wondering
This is what it looks like to press “send” on the last year of your life. Lucky for you, my thick-rimmed glasses hide the tote-sized bags under my eyes. I don’t know why, but my (possibly blind) friend Rachel thinks I look smokin’. Oh, yes.
