i know i had said i was going to post on my blog once a week, but things got so crazy i couldn't think well enough to have anything to write about. but with no job, i hope that has changed. also, not normally a resolution kind of girl, but kind of in the middle of what i hope is the beginning of a major life overhaul, so goals (aka resolutions) ( Read more... )

well, that's a wrap to a fucked up year. lots of highs, lots of lows, lots of changes, and here i find myself, unencumbered by work responsibilities, trying to figure out what's next. i feel good though, starting off the year with no hangover and getting up and running 3.5 miles right off the bat. okay, i walked a good half a mile of that in the ( Read more... )

i know i've moved to new york and all, and snow is part of the winter norm, but i didn't expect the first snow to be a blizzard, i thought maybe i could ease into it. instead, no, this. it's a little intense. discovered that while i love my fiorentini + baker books, they have no traction, so that's a little scary.

it's weird, i feel like i'm playing hooky, but i have a terrible terrible cold, and nobody wants that in a restaurant so it's the right thing to do. still feels weird to call in sick tho, goes against all my instincts and work ethic. but this is what i get for staying up 2 nights in a row earlier in the week. note to self, am no longer 20, such ( Read more... )

interview materials prepped and printed, outfit chosen and pressed, company researched, eyebrows tweezed, self caffeinated, pep talks engaged in. let's hope this interview gives me the best birthday present ever!

So a year ago I took up rock climbing, and got seriously hooked. I mean, this wasn’t just my typical enthusiasm for a month or two; I went every time I had free time, and sank serious money into this: chalk bag, harness, multiple pairs of climbing shoes, gym membership, climbing-specific yoga classes, the whole nine.
