We’re exactly one week out from the Tony Awards! Let’s talk about some of the nominations. I can’t speak to every nominated show or actor – While I have made it through all of the musicals, I still have a handful of plays left on my list that will have to wait until after the…

Say Yes to Less
I just finished reading The Year of Less by Cait Flanders, who I’m now convinced needs to be my BFF stat. Based on its short description, I checked this e-book out from the library with a few others without giving it too much thought – and that decision turned out to be a total game-changer.…
Started from Seattle, now we’re here
When I accepted my new job in NYC last August, I had a matter of weeks to wrap up my PNW chapter and get across the country. So much to do, so little time! There was no way I was going to pay to move any furniture from Seattle to New York. I’d done that…
The Culture Vulture has Landed
A little while ago, a coworker was trying to decide how quickly she needed to get to the theater to see a new movie. When I mentioned that she didn’t really need to be in a rush to see it, her response was along the lines of, “of course you’ve already seen it, you’re such…
5K All Day
Y’all, I just registered for my first 5K! I know it’s no marathon; but for me, it might as well be. Over my life, I’ve had an on-again-off-again relationship with exercise. For the first 35 years, we were completely off, radio silent. Then, we had a torrid, love affair there for a while. I’d like…
Negative Nancy can’t come to the phone right now
I have definite Negative Nancy tendencies (contain your surprise), but I honestly didn’t realize it until I was probably in my mid-30s. As in, I went a solid 30+ years on Earth thinking that my constant state of worry, fear and anxiety was a completely normal part of everyday life. I spent my childhood and…

Sunday Funday of Keto Meal Prepping
After my trip to Rochester and with a couple of new people in my life testing out the keto lifestyle, I felt inspired to cook some dishes that I hadn’t previously been in the mood to deal with in my tiny kitchen. I went all in today and made basically everything I’ve been thinking about…
Meet Me in St. Louis (or Houston, or Seattle, or New York)
Meeting people is hard. It’s hard no matter what city you’re in, how old you are, whether you’re a man or woman, and no matter what kind of relationship you’re hoping to find. Once you’re out of school and the forced socialization and built-in group of prospects that go along with it, life really makes…

Supers aren’t always super…and other things I’ve learned in NYC
After 6 months of relying on walking and subways to navigate the city, jaywalking could be my new favorite thing. I love not feeling compelled to wait for cars that aren’t there. Like the law-abiding citizen that I am, I started out waiting my turn at every intersection. I was in no rush, and it’s…

Birthday Vacay, the Keto Way!
If you’re anything like me, food is your go-to for any and all celebratory needs. Any bit of good news meant food. In fact, any bit of sad or bad news meant food. Having a bad day? Comfort food. Having a great day? Cocktails! Promotion? Fancy dinner. Stressed out? Peanut butter M&Ms by the…
