I’ve been getting a lot of well-meaning, if not entirely necessary, sympathy of late. True, my personal life kind of went the way of UTTER SADNESS earlier this year, but I’m actually okay. When I find my thoughts turning to him and to what happened, I find myself confounded more than anything else. I don’t [...]

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 [...]

What is it about the holidays that makes people who haven’t felt the need to say “hi” or “I’m sorry” or “I miss you” throughout the other 11 months of the year come out of the woodwork?

Twelve hours of baking, two trips to the grocery store for forgotten ingredients (by my helpful boyfriend, AKA the “cookie-razzi”), and one pumpkin beer later… Ta-Da!!! For recipe requests, send an email to nicnarrates at gmail.

Every $1 donated on Feeding America’s web site (formerly America’s Second Harvest) will send 9 pounds of groceries to a family in need. Or for just $5, you’ll be donating 10 bags of groceries. Google is the shit, but next time you need to do a search online, why not try GoodSearch instead? Every search you make [...]

On Saturday, I hopped on the bus to mail a birthday/ Christmas present to a friend, but when I arrived at the Post Office (ANNEX!), I was shot down. The whole two-story building’s operations boiled down to one lady behind a desk just inside a door-front, asking “Does this already have postage?” Seriously, how would that be [...]
