sunshine&raindrops
How can it go from sunshine one day to raindrops the next? Normally I’d say, “Only in San Francisco”, but Southern California had my sole attention this week—and I most definitely did not prepare for rain.
My carry-on (darned you Virgin America and your $25 check-in fees!) consisted of a pair of shorts, light tops and jackets and a bunch of annoying 3oz. tubes. I was...

Two peas in a pod, you and I
Diana: Oh, how much are you paying for your hotel in London?
Me: Mm, I'm not sure. Where are you staying and how much are you paying?
Diana: At the _______ Hotel, they have this offer where they price-match.
Me: No way, that's where I'M staying!
Tell me it's not funny..that of ALL hotels in ALL of London, bestie and I pick the EXACT same hotel. Of ALL hotels! And this is without doing any research together or talking about it to one another--ever.
Seriously, same mind. It's uncanny.

$100 - Non-refundable application fee.
$595 - The cost of one class out of a total of four that I need to be certified in copyediting. Online. (We’ll see how applying to a real school goes first).
$75,206 - The approximate cost of the 10-month J-School program at Columbia University.
Hm, this is looking pretty darn costly. Now if only I could get into the program, then I would not be as...

Celebrate and cherish.
This past weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It was filled with many a good times amongst some great company.
Friday night, my face met its worst enemy—extractions. I hadn’t gotten a facial in many, many years, and the bff had highly recommended the one we were booked for, so I said “why not?” It was a deal on a website so I figured there’s no...
What motivates you?
A dear friend brought this up today. It doesn’t matter what motivates you to change the world, it just matters that you do. She recently started up a campaign with charity:water called “water for 10”, and when she told me about it, I was amazed. Most of us live our lives comfortably, not thinking twice about giving up our hard-earned money to people that we can’t see or...

Tweaking the dreaded resume
I decided to update my resume today, God knows why. I hate that thing—it just shows me how little I’ve accomplished in life. As if the mother and father and Facebook aren’t a constant reminder of that already. Oh, so and so got accepted into this (insert masters degree of choice here) school and this person got a new job with (insert famous company here)! Yea, um, enough of that...
It's T-shirt tiiiiimee
With the introduction of a “gremlin”, the use of the C-word, an inevitable fight, and a naked roommate all on the first night back—the third season of Jersey Shore is finally upon us. Well, we can’t expect anything less from this crazy cast right? But seriously, where do they find these people?
The premiere of Jersey Shore was predictable but you still can’t help...
Hiatus no more! Brad Womack is back and looking...
Finally, tv season is once again upon us. Thank goodness because I was watching movies like “Buried” to pass the time. Although, 90 minutes of staring at Ryan Reynolds is not too bad.
Speaking of gorgeous men, the Bachelor returned Monday night with its 15th season. I know, it’s crazy how long this show has been on air but bad reality tv is just so darned...
Clean room, clear mind.
What is it about the new year that makes people want to clean?
Yesterday morning I walked into the bathroom and everything was reorganized. The day before that my sister declared she wanted to clean her room. You might think this is nothing but you should see her room—it’s like a bomb of clothes exploded in there. (Literally, the only clear pathway is from the door to her bed.) Today,...
