When Was the Last Time You Did It?

April 5, 2010

Cooking I mean. If you watch television, you’d think we’re all obsessed. Everything from the entire Food Network, down to the Top Chefs and Hell’s Kitchens among us, it’s all right there.

Don’t Even Talk to Me about the Trophy

March 23, 2010

I was a ballerina growing up. Sure, I played a number of other sports, but anywhere from 4-16 hours a week was spent in a dance studio. I was never in a location long enough to compete, so the “competition” moments for me would be at the annual dance recital. I’d be a part of [...]

January 26, 2009

Asking Why. Anyone who has kids, knows kids, or has watched TV about kids, knows what I’m talking about. I am like that four-year-old who doesn’t stop asking “Why?” It’s not that I want to be annoying, and I usually do cut myself off after the second Why. I also went to a pretty prestigious [...]

Not that I’m obsessed with posting in a series, but I kind of liked the idea of linking my posts. While my stereotype assumes that I think I’m perfect, I know in fact that there might be a couple of bad habits I have that could be attributed to my age. So here is the [...]
