Today is my 35th Birthday. Maybe if I say or type that enough times it’ll sink in. Today is my thirty-fifth birthday. Nope. It’s still surreal. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that I am 15 years from 20 years old and 15 years from being 50 years old. I’m closer to middle-age [...]

One of the BEST gifts I’ve gotten recently is a Harry & David’s gift box! The box was too much for me to consume on my own and it came at the PERFECT time. I brought the box into the office of my New England client, and shared it during a recent all day staff meeting. AND, we polished the goodies off with a [...]

  *click on photo to see “notes” If this wasn’t so funny, I’d probably be more embarassed. Because I like to cook, and I like to take cooking classes, I have a repuation as a good cook. Which, of course, I am. However, every now and then, something goes horribly awry. A couple of weeks [...]

My world has been Baracked. Hat tip to Erica. I too, have contributed to a political campaign for the first time ever. I was compelled to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, because really? It is time for a change, and we ARE the ones we’ve been waiting for. My good [...]

1. We got 6-8 more inches last night. Of snow, you pervs! I basically just gave up and went into the office an hour late in jeans and a sweatshirt. 2. I pulled a muscle in my thigh/groin. Unfortunately, not via any activity that would make such pain worth it. 3. I’m going to the [...]

  Let me just admit that I am flabbergasted. Really, just not even able to process the amount of snow there is up here. Inches, feet, piles and drifts. Blankets of snow, hiding sheets of ice. I never thought I could be tired of snow, but I am.so.ready. for spring. Bygones.  

Happy belated Valentine’s day yall! I was up to the usual ridicularity. I had hibachi with KJ, Charles and Papaya, drank some beer and fell asleep with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head (or maybe I was drunk!..just kidding). In a fit of unmitigated domesticity I baked mini-cupcakes for friends and colleagues! I [...]

I’m alive! I am getting over a head cold precipitated no doubt by burning the candle at both ends AND in the middle. Back to back weekends in New York (weekend update coming soon) and a hellacious pace at both clients. I don’t get sick often and pride myself on fighting illness off pretty well, [...]

I’m just back from New York. The plan was to go see the Kara Walker exhibit at the Whitney, catch up with a friend or two and enjoy restaurant week, maybe watch a little hotel t.v. and get some work done. Who was I kidding? Friday started off great with a special delivery (yes, that’s [...]

When you wake up at 7am and realized you’ve slept on the couch in your office and now you have to go home and shower, change clothes and get back by 9am.  No worries though, I love what I do and I’m cooking up some serious fun for the weekend.
