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 [...]

Thirteen years ago, I found myself camping with my family at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. Camping. The “campground” consisted of a shadeless black top parking lot and our camper was without air conditioning. In the July heat of 104 degrees at 8 in the morning. Too young to gamble or drink, too sunburned to wear anything except [...]

This spring, I’m going all in. I’m gambling my pseudo-anonymous blogging identity on a little get together in the middle of the Nevada desert. I’m rolling the dice on what I lovingly refer to as “Blogger Spring Break.” I’m going to Bloggers in Sin City 2011! I have to admit, my going is a bit out of [...]

A vacation day from work has been scheduled. TJ Maxx is currently being cased for appropriately obnoxious “church hats,” tiaras, and ladylike gloves. Recipes for lemon tarts, clotted cream, and scones are under review. Hotel reservations have been made- no, not for London but for downtown Chicago where Fancy and I will don the Queen’s requested “lounge suits” [...]

In truth, I arrived wholly unprepared. After a day of cardio (shopping with Fancy) and minimal food consumption (a granola bar and curry fries), I met up with the boyfriend and we rolled into the Windy City Wine Festival. We didn’t know what to expect, but he knew I liked to drink The Wine and [...]

Someone told me the other day that they thought I’d make a “great parent.” I have no idea what prompted this statement from them. One minute I’m nodding my head in mock-understanding of their child ferrying travails, and the next they’re envisioning me as a Mommy. They didn’t even buy me dinner first. GASP! Generally, [...]
