Holy L. Ron Hubbard
So, on Sunday night I had the weirdest dream. It was so unnerving that it has stuck with me for the past two days and I even solicited the help of friends to try and interpret what it could mean. Part of me was joking in asking. Part of me wasn’t.
I dreamed that Tom Cruise [...]

Miss New Foodie
My good friend Liz has been taking cooking classes at Whole Foods. She spoke in glowing terms about them last week when we met for dinner. It was really inspiring to hear about how much fun she’s had in the classes and how many cool kitchen tidbits she’s picked up that will be useful from [...]

I was really sick all last week with a case of the flu (Classic Flu ®, not swine flu.) On Tuesday morning, I didn’t have the fever yet, so I just assumed I had a nasty cold that carried the bonus of zapping every ounce of energy I had (which explains the light posting last [...]

Drummond has many co-workers in this neighborhood (Hi Suzanne, Nathan, Serena, et al!) and one of my very good friends lives in the ‘hood as well (hey [...]

I’m back online now.

I stumbled upon this today on Time Magazine’s website via Jezebel. It’s a Q&A with Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls. Her latest book, The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence, is getting quite a bit of press. One passage in [...]

Sister
My sister Libby moved into her dorm room at Texas State today. It’s made me feel the reality of getting older and reminded me that time passes quickly.
Libby is six years younger than I am. I still remember the day she was born. My parents dropped me off at school that morning, and within an [...]

Last Friday Drummond and I made the sojourn up to Dallas to visit our relatives. It was an especially big weekend for me, as my family came back from Germany after living there for two years. I saw my Dad last month, but it was the first time I’d seen my Mom since September and [...]

Food.
Over the last couple of months I’ve felt like I haven’t been able to stop eating. I’m like Godzilla, stomping through downtown Austin stuffing my body with wine, tacos, pad thai, pasta with cream sauce, and a bagel with cream cheese here and there for good measure. I feel like I’m getting bigger and I’m [...]
