Surely I’m not the only girl who does this before leaving the house. Surely I’m not the only girl who tears through her closet like an animal trying to find something decent and cute and flattering to wear to parties, interviews, or dinners with friends. Surely we all do this. I blame the fact that [...]

I’m incapable of writing about every bitty detail of my September 12 wedding. I do however love pictures and I wanted you guys to know that despite my bridal aloofness, I did not boycott all frivolities. I embraced many of them with an open and girlie heart. I love throwing a party! So for those of [...]

Prior to that, Roger worked with me at The Sarasota Observer. Next to Zipper Boy, he is my [...]

Sigh. It’s been 11 days since I last posted. I’m all clogged up. I need some brain drain-o. When I get my hands on some, I’ll be back with entertaining stories. I promise. In the meantime, let it be said that tonight I beat Joe 500 to 265 at Rummy. I shall sleep like a [...]

I love afternoon thunderstorms, especially because I live in the sunshine state, especially because I work from home, especially because they kick-start my imagination. Bianchi however does not like thunderstorms. They make her antsy and irritable. Shoved up against a grimy wall in our dank shed, she quickly loses her cool with Joe’s Target bike, [...]

Hey lovelies! Finally. A post about weddings! It’s about time, Heidi. Some people who read this blog are surprised by the fact that I’m getting married in two months, not because I’m a shrew, but because I’ve been annoyingly terse about my wedding plans.

And now for a funny short story from home: My mothership has a pet chipmunk. He’s not a pet in the sense that he sits in a cage in the house and runs on a wheel or plows around the living room in a clear plastic ball. He’s an outdoor pet and he lives, [...]

I’ve got some work to catch up on, so in the meantime I thought I’d link to a few of my recent stories in The Sarasota Observer. I’ve written for The Observer since I moved to Florida in 2004. It’s a great gig that I’m grateful for every day. My editors are great, my coworkers [...]
