Me vs. Immigration
Immigration officials and I do not get along. We never have. Which is why I can never travel to a place like Bali. Not that anyone has ever invited me to go to Bali, but if they did, I would vehemently decline. Because I would be the American girl who received the death penalty after someone planted a 10 lb. bag of marijuana on me in the bathroom. I just would. Now I’ve had several...
Flight Prep
me: Will you please check the weather forecast?
Boyfriend: Looks good. Clear skies, sunny and around 40 degrees.
me: What's the wind report?
Boyfriend: Seriously?
me: Very seriously.
Boyfriend: 10 mph coming out of the North.
me: Okay good. What about the geese?
Boyfriend: Babe.
me: WHAT.
Boyfriend: The geese?
me: I AM GOING TO CANADA. As in Canadian geese. As in the avian version of terrorists. Look up the geese report or I'm not going.

Ballet Flats Sans Tights
My friend Peter introduced me to his friend John’s blog, loafersansocks, a while back. I developed a minor blog crush when I read his tagline: “Trying to get by in the real world without being told to put on socks.” He counts down funny Top 5 lists every week and is obsessed with Blake Lively. And now we’re Tumblr and Facebook friends. Whatever. I don’t care. This week he’s counting down the...

Insufficient Fun
Wachovia: Wachovia customer service, how can I help you?
Me: Hi, I need to close my savings account. I’ve started being charged for not meeting the minimum.
Wachovia: Oh, I see. Well, we have several other savings account options.
Me: Yeah, thanks. I’m just not…
Wachovia: For instance, we have one that only has a $300 minimum.
Me: Okay, but…
Wachovia: And if you want to keep your current account open, I can transfer funds from another account. You met the minimum for years and only recently did your funds get low.
Me: I know, but I live in New York now and …
Wachovia: Say no more. We’ll close it. Would you like to transfer the balance of $17.24 to your checking account?
Me: [mumbling under my breath] Eff my life.
Wachovia: I'm sorry?
Me: Yes please.
I'm Not Afraid to Be Servicey
I’m pretty sure that heaven for me is going to be a giant CVS with aisles and aisles of products that don’t cost anything.
I have an unhealthy obsession with beauty products and have shoeboxes full of lotions, hair products and makeup that I rotate in and out of my normal routine.
I realize this is a blog, not Allure, but the granola recommendation went over so well that I thought...

Rebel Without a Cause
A bit of background: For the most part, I am not very dramatic when it comes to relationships. Boyfriend and I are pretty low key - very opposed to PDA or causing any kind of a scene in public or private. So much so that our friends weren’t even sure we were dating until about a year into our relationship. So…cut to Friday night: I went to a birthday dinner with my girlfriends and had several...

You can hear my soul dying a little bit. I just joined Twitter. Which I am fundamentally, innately, VIOLENTLY opposed to with all of my heart.
I have hated this thing for months and swore I would never do it, but now I’ve been forced to for “work reasons” because every journalist and publicist in the country is “tweeting” their little faces off. I blame Shaq,...

The More Things Change
I don’t know what it is about me, but whenever I leave a place, I expect time to stop for everyone I’ve left behind. We moved around a lot growing up, and when we’d go back to one of our old neighborhoods, I’d be furious if anything had changed. I remember when I found out the boy who moved into my room in our Houston house had painted it black. I decided I was either going to have to kill...
