Self-proclaimed professional bon vivant. Middle school Writing teacher. NYC is where I hang my hat. This is what's on my mind.
I follow a few simple rules when dining out. First, only dine in places serving cuisine and dishes that I couldn’t make myself. Second, as my good friend puts it, if your meal is under three hours or courses, you’re doing it wrong. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, be the perfect table. When I worked...

Life is crazy. We all know this. I know I’m not the only person in the world who’s spread too thin, working two jobs to make ends meet, not striking the perfect work-life balance, lamenting that time passes too quickly. I haven’t even written a blog post since April! (Though, in my defense, I’m convinced... Continue Reading →
On Tuesday, I celebrated one year of living in New York with my two dearest New York friends in the comfort of my Manhattan apartment. Moving to New York City was such a great decision that I decided to honor February 7th, the day I moved to New York, the same way as I do... Continue Reading →
“Will our tales of digital courtship capture the imaginations of our daughters? Will they be impressed when we tell them about that time the text message was misinterpreted, or how the cute boy re-tweeted our Vampire Weekend reference? Will they care?”--Charlotte Alter, "Guns, Ammo, Romance?" Published November 17th in the New York Times. When I was... Continue Reading →
Saturday Night Live is hiring. Upon further investigation, I have found that I am qualified for none of their open positions, but I went ahead and wrote a cover letter in case something opens up. After all, who wouldn't want to work for Saturday Night Live. (Best job ever?) Here's what I came up with:... Continue Reading →
I had no idea I was even nominated for two of the Shepherd Express's Best of Milwaukee Web Awards until someone tweeted me to say they had voted for me in the category Best Personal Blog. Voted for me? When I mentioned this fact to another friend and fellow avid tweeter, she replied, "Yeah, you... Continue Reading →
Happy Valentine's Day! In the spirit of the holiday, I'd like to take a moment to pay tribute to two things I love (besides the Green Bay Packers): books and attractive men. Inspired by a recent post on a literary blog I follow I read entitled, "Bangable Dudes in Literature" and my love of making... Continue Reading →
In the middle of the kitchen at a recent party, my two girl friends and I found ourselves standing in the corner near the keg discussing awkward conversation starters. Awkward conversation starters usually fly from the mouths of people who are trying too hard. We had many laughs trying to come up with the most... Continue Reading →
I've always been a list person, but not in the traditional sense. I'm not the type of person who makes extensive daily to-do lists (although I tried to be sophomore year of college). When I think of something I want to remember, whether it is a task to complete or an interesting idea to write... Continue Reading →
I still can't believe it's been a solid month since I left on vacation with my sister and dad to return to our beloved family camp on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire after an eight year hiatus. Post-college, it seems like time passes a whole lot faster and so I'm still in disbelief that a month has... Continue Reading →
