A little green eyeliner goes a long way
I wrote a blog yesterday in which I mentioned an old friend, Anna Klepczynski. I have wanted to write about her for quite a long time but had not yet found the voice – until now. I remember the first time I felt pretty. It was at my birthday party in the seventh grade. Seventh…

The time I threw up and it was all Amy’s fault
Whitney and Christina wrote recently about their most humiliating moments. I instantly wanted to write about mine but I couldn’t decide which one (of many!) topped the list. I finally settled on two, the second of which I will write about for Mother’s Day for reasons that will become apparent at that time. For today I…

Cold hands, cold hiking, and I miss my mom
Apologies if this doesn’t make much sense. I’m on deadline and I’m sleep deprived. I asked Chris what I should blog about and he said “cold hands make it hard to type.” Which is true – I make a lot more typos when I’m cold. So apologies to those of you who Instant Message with me, because…

When stars and Spin Doctors align
I have known Amy since we were both 8, so most of our child and adult memories include each other at some level. Even if we weren’t there, we were there. In fact, I wrote in one of my diaries in high school, about making out with a boy: “I couldn’t wait for it to…

On cold coffee and Lite-Brite declarations
Elwood tagged me and although I’ve done this one before, I figure there’s no harm in telling you 7 more things that you don’t know about me right? So here goes: 7 things you don’t know about me: 1. I am allergic to tarter-control toothpaste. At least, that’s what a dentist told me once. I…

Searching for footing
I am riding in the car on the way home from Greensboro, N.C., where I have been tagging along with Jeff for two days while he went on a work trip and I went with him to relax and play in the hotel. Instead of relaxing and playing, I was hit hard with some news…

#nanowrimo book editing time
Just wanted to give a status update on my book. My book!! (I cheer a little inside every time I say that.) For those who haven’t been listening to me chat incessantly for the past month or so, I’ll recap: I wrote a book last month. Yep, a book. Yep, in a month. I participated in…
