My blog is so backlogged I hardly know where to begin. Below are a few posts you can expect to see in the next week as I try to play catch up:
The long lost chronicles of my trip to Argentina
A recap of Step Up’s “View from the Top” panel
New York City escapades including a shoe [...]
Last weekend I went to California to visit my parents. I told my friends and coworkers in New York that I was going “home.” Later, when it was time to return to New York, I again announced that it was time to go “home.” This is the perfect allegory for a dilemma many of [...]
I recently attended a basketball game at the YMCA.
The contest featured twelve-, thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls. Despite the fact that most of them are in the midst of the biggest transition their bodies will ever make, none seemed the least bit physically self-conscious as they dribbled, passed, and shot the ball. It reminded me why [...]
A while ago I wrote a post about how surviving a difficult breakup is like a badge. I was never a girl scout but I like the idea. In fact my younger brother had his Eagle Scout Court of Honor a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t go home for it, but looking at the [...]
I don’t really believe in New Year’s Eve.
Let me clarify: I acknowledge that a new calendar year is beginning but I am opposed to all convention that says this must involve imbibing a significant quantity of alcohol in a venue that is either a) cold, b) crowded, or c) difficult to escape from. It seems [...]
The NYC Marathon seems to have set the pace for the rest of my November. My blog began to hit its stride. My first piece of published writing ran in a national magazine. And today I turn 26. (Those 0.2 miles don’t count for much anyway).
I spent my 26th birthday alone in NYC. While it [...]
I thought once I was finished with the marathon I’d have all the time in the world to blather on my blog, but I have this unbreakable habit of overcommitting myself. With another writing deadline looming, I’ll have to be concise.
Last night Millie (see post: “In a name”) met me at my office in the [...]
I am long overdue for a post. The excuses are as follows:
1. A visit to El Dorado Hills (California) to visit with my mom, my sister and my two-year-old nephew. I love him to death but he’s the most high maintenance boyfriend I’ve ever had.
2. A complete rewrite on a piece I wrote for Women’s Health [...]
Yesterday I packed for the shortest and strangest trip I have ever been on. At 1 p.m. a car service came to pick up me, my bike, my golf clubs, my skis and two suitcases full of things I believe to be both representative of me and perhaps of interest to others. Among these items [...]
Not surprisingly (if you know me), I have very high expectations for this first post. I feel pressure to write something profoundly compelling that will immediately attract traffic from across the blogosphere, or whatever it’s called. I mean, it took me months just to decide which blogging software to use and what to name this [...]
