Happy cutback week, everybody! Yes, it’s the annual week of my ballet show, which means I will be crazy busy all week with rehearsals and performances and all that nonsense. I could, theoretically, get up early in the morning to squeeze in my usual run schedule, but I’ll be exhausted enough as it is. Anyway, everyone needs a cutback...

We recently wrapped up all my Disney trip albums in my Last Photos series – and I know I said we’d do First Photos next. But while Universal Studios is by no means my heart’s home the way WDW is, I’d say it deserves a little love, no? So let’s take a quick look at my Last Photos there…...

Have you ever had a training run where everything just kept going wrong? Like, nothing truly catastrophic happened, but multiple little annoyances piled up until most of your energy was sourcing from general pissiness?

She’s gonna concentrate on that transition for a bit, and then...

News flash: it was warm enough for me to go on a MORNING OUTDOOR RUN last week. Awwwww man. Don’t get me wrong, I wore wore sleeves and long pants, but still. I was coming in from my run just as my boyfriend was jetting off to work. He gave me a goodbye kiss, which he followed up with...

A great honor was recently bestowed upon me. LOOK WHO LIKED MY TWEET! Yes, one flippant comment about the past and you, too, can be best friends with Bart Yasso. (Clearly we’re BFFs now, right, Bart? Can I call you Bart?) Incidentally, here’s what my cubicle wall looks like now: <Roy Scheider voice>We’re gonna need a bigger wall.</Roy Scheider...

Look, you can make fun of me all day and all night for being on the Hot Topic mailing list, but their Disney collection is unmatched. So when I got an email informing me that they had just added a bunch of new dresses to their Disney collection, I eagerly clicked through. Cute, cute, cute, I thought, scrolling along,...
