I know, I know. You’ve all been waiting with bated breath, wondering when I’d be hitting “publish” on my Annual Turkey Day Craft post. It’s been a week and still nothing. You thought I’d forgotten, didn’t you? Well, to you I say in no uncertain hyperbolic terms, what is life without a turkey craft?!? And [...]

A mosaic of misfortune. A bevy of bodily harm. Last Saturday was A DAY. A day from which I am still recovering and seeing a chiropractor. A day when I intended to *happily* squire my visiting brother and his girlfriend around Chicago and later see Fitz and the Tantrums at Schubas for their Lolla aftershow. [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Recently, my dad and I had the opportunity to have lunch together and somehow got onto the subject of my grandpa. “I miss him,” I admitted. “Grandpa had a singular ability to always make me feel special- like every day was my birthday.” As the words slipped from my mouth, I suddenly realized why my birthday often [...]

Last week, my dear sweet mother manipulated me. She began her behest innocuously enough with a whisper into the phone: “Shhhh…don’t tell your father,” she said as I heard her hastily scamper into another room in the background and shut the door. “I have money I want you to take to your brothers when you [...]

I haven’t written in nearly a month. Instead of writing, I’ve been cooped up with my thoughts. I can’t seem to escape them. I can’t seem to articulate them. And I can’t seem to come to much of a conclusion except to say I keep feeling like life is passing me by. All around me [...]
