Holy Crap It’s Here

DUDE It’s here. My freaking wedding is 5 days away. What does this translate to? Me, fretting up a storm. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got lists and lists and I have recently learned how to delegate (shout out to Bridget – you are amazing!) but seriously yo, I’m about to be a married woman. [...]

Procrastination City

Hello everyone! Happy weekend. In an effort to procrastinate hardcore on my MA thesis that is due this week, I wanted to share some thoughts with you about a wave of blogs I have recently discovered slash become obsessed with. First off, let me update you on my thesis crapola. As many of you know [...]

Half Marathon Madness

I hate running. That is, until recently I had a very hateful relationship with running. You see, I am a former competitive swimmer, so any “dryland” activities were not for me. Even when I quit swimming full time and I started working out on my own, I live in Southern California. So I was always [...]

Burning Ring of Fire

I think I mentioned in my last post that I made a huge mistake the morning after Thanksgiving. And again, I blame it all on cooking. You see, I really don’t like to cook. I like to bake because I love cookie dough and cake batter. Cooking, on the other hand, is hard, complicated and [...]

Running Running Running

Hello all! Today I woke up early for the second to last urban rebounding class until after my marathon. The schedule of training for the marathon is pretty intense and doesn’t allow for much trampoline time – boo. As many of you out there know I have had a pretty crappy couple of days. From [...]

Lo Siento

Hello out there in the blogesphere! I wanted to drop a little note apologizing for my  laziness nonexistence on the web for a while. To be perfectly honest the bar has been pretty slow lately – stemming from the Yankees/Phillies world series. That’s the thing about working in a neighborhood bar, people go to sports [...]
