My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

About that baby
My best friend is due to have her first child any time now. And with that on the horizon, I thought it was only appropriate to write the baby a letter – since I don’t have children of my own to write blog letters to – since I just can’t wait to meet her.
Dear Baby [...]

First date
I went on a (blind) first date last night.
And it was just like every first date I’ve ever been on. There’s little eye contact and much wine drinking. Small talk about work and the past and where you’ve been. But, unlike most blind first dates I’ve been on in my life, it ended really well. [...]

Baby Shower
Isn’t she stunning? Yep, she is. Which is exactly the kind of mama she’s going to be.
Today – her baby shower – made the anticipation worse. I absolutely cannot wait for her little girl to be here.

Driving stick
I vividly remember the day I learned to drive a stick shift car.
With my best friend in tow (who did not know a thing about driving stick) as my co-pilot, we headed out to “practice” in our suburban town. We must have rolled down that hill on Green Road backwards about 10 times before finally [...]

Silver lining
Two of my friends (and former newspaper co-workers) lost there jobs this week. And gosh, I wish I could make them know that they are going to be OK.
One friend in particular is having a really hard time. In fact, she’s nearly identically going through the same motions I did in the days that followed [...]

One of those catch up posts
Sometimes I Tweet so much that I forget how to blog. True story.
And I’ve been Tweeting so much lately (a lot of time on my hands? no) that I just haven’t had anything substantial to blog about. This post included. Please accept my apology in advance.
Turns out, I got really involved in this upcoming community [...]

The verdict
My BFF Tina is having…
A GIRL!!!!
And I am beyond excited. Let the shopping begin, right? I’m excited for all the girly colors, and lip gloss (think she can wear that straight out of the womb?) and cute clips in her hair. Hopefully she has strawberry blonde curls just like her Mama.
For the past couple of [...]

Moi Moi
I wish I was friends with this girl in real life. And not just because she does a lot of memes that I copy.
Even though we live in different countries (she’s from Canada) I could pretty much have kept her answers and you probably wouldn’t have even noticed. That’s how cool she is.
Anyway, here goes:

Tequila shot and fried pickles
I’ve had a pretty hardcore addiction to pickles and all things picked since I was a wee one.
I remember sneaking into the kitchen as a child and drinking pickle juice using a straw from the jar. I’d then put a little water in the jar so my mom wouldn’t notice my scandalous behavior. I don’t [...]
