A Week in the Life: Letters Unsent Saturday

Posted on May 27, 2012 by

Back in Manhattan: My life in the States is comparatively less glam than my life abroad.  Not that the real-time elements of travel are particularly sexy — because when you are living them, I will admit that they are interesting, … Continue reading →

A Week in the Life: Friday – Exit, Pursued by a Bear

Posted on May 25, 2012 by

Again, I woke up late.  By which I mean, 10am.  I’d been arguing with The Englishman until late, about the stupid car thing. Why my opinion mattered to him was beyond me. Just buy your Aston Martin and admit you’re … Continue reading →

A Week in the Life: Thoughts from Thursday

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

I woke up late (again) to sunlight streaming through the sheers of my hotel in Madrid.  I’d cracked the window open the night before, and the morning sounds from the street were wafting up into my room. It was still … Continue reading →

A Week in the Life: Sunday – One Freak on Foot

Posted on May 20, 2012 by

I loved writing the “Week in the Life” posts last year.  And I love the idea of the project.  I’ve loved Sarah Rosemary’s posts.  I’m just not a scrapbooker; I don’t aspire to be one.  I do, however, compulsively document … Continue reading →

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

In the continuing spirit of me serving not as a role model or an example, rather as a horrible warning to you all, I should tell you about how I “celebrated” Mothers Day with my friend JM.  JM is Miss … Continue reading →

Love is All Around

Posted on May 16, 2012 by

I am becoming a Single Girl Stereotype, like something out of Central Casting.  If we’re being generous, maybe I am Mary Richards for the New Millennium. I made the Mary joke once at a party, and someone said: Mary Richards, … Continue reading →

The Ministry of Questionable Advice, First Dispatch

Posted on May 15, 2012 by

I read a lot of parenting books (and business books, and dog training books — but I’ll get to that in a second).  The parenting books thing is a weird one since I am a childless divorcee.  BUT, I am … Continue reading →

Posted on May 13, 2012 by

I had brunch on Saturday in Soho with eee, Katarina, and Rebecca.  Katarina is a very tall, gorgeous Croatian friend of eee’s, and Rebecca is a medium tall, gorgeous fellow UCLA alum.  As you all know, eee is quite tall, … Continue reading →

Pinned

Posted on May 8, 2012 by

I was coming home from the gym the other night and I saw a guy decked out — head to toe — in fraternity gear.  Now, this guy was either a) an extremely old-looking student; b) coming from an alumni … Continue reading →

Suspended Disbelief

Posted on May 3, 2012 by

One thing I love/hate about living in Manhattan, and New York generally, is that one begins to forget how often she must suspend her disbelief in order to survive. For instance: I was on the 5 train when it turned … Continue reading →
