In November of 2004, after a particularly difficult year, I travelled to Europe for the 2nd time. In July of 2005, after a particularly wonderful six months (and by happenstance, directly before the start of the hardest period of my life thus far), I travelled once again to Europe. The routes went something like this:…

My New TOMS
I bought a new pair of TOMS a couple of weeks ago when I was at the beach, and I love, love, love them! It’s actually a pair I’d seen online as a limited edition, and that were sold out before I could purchase. I never expected to see them anywhere else, but happened to…
Dream Diary 3/27/13
I’ve been having some weird dreams lately. A few of the things I’ve been dreaming about: 1) Friday Night. Trying to catch and hold 2 pretty large fish, with my hands, inside of an apartment. For some reason I was plucking the two fish out of some space (a pool? the sink?) and trying to hold…
Day #17: Inching Along
Oy vey. There’s another hurricane brewing, and people are freaking out. The stores were crazy today, with people rushing to buy up the last of the water, ice, and toilet paper. I’m just exhausted from my day, and not really into writing this blog post, so I’m going to keep it short. The Man and…
Day #16: Waiting for Ella
Two nights ago I had a dream that I found a kitten. She was a tiny, scrawny stray, and I named her Ella. Ever since then, I’ve had this feeling that I was going to find a kitten somewhere around the neighborhood. I’ve been driving much more carefully than usual, scanning the streetscape in case…

Outfit for My Friend’s Croatian Wedding
My vacation is looming closer, and I couldn’t be happier to be getting the hell out of dodge. So far, I’ve got all of my travel accounted for (though I still have to purchase train tickets for travelling in Italy). My hotels/hostel are lined up, I have a good idea of the times I’ll be…
Footloose and Fancy-Free
I finally bought my ticket – I’m heading to Croatia in six weeks’ time! It’s difficult to explain exactly how excited I am to finally be: Seeing my two best friends in one place, Going on vacation in one of the most beautiful countries in the world (with a potential side trip to Pompeii –…
43 Days: Evening
Long day, and I’m exhausted. Actually considering hitting the hay considerably earlier than usual tonight. That may have to do with my limited food intake today, or the fact that most of my sustenance today was juice so my body’s probably starting to detox. Or it might just have to do with the super-awesome-intense Spin…
