Today I arrived home from work to discover that Nigel had opened his Christmas present. Last night I started packing for my upcoming trip to Michigan; I had gathered up all of the wrapped Christmas presents and placed them in a reusable shopping bag, which I left on top of the coffee table.

This post could also be titled “The Best Christmas Gift Ever!” I have been bursting at the seams to share this news with everyone, and now that all of my ducks are in a row, I finally can! On November 19, I tried out for Gotham Girls Roller Derby for the second time. I think [...]
I just used my lunch break to run up to the library and pick up 5 books that I had placed on hold. My friend Sarah pointed out that the New York Public Library system allows you to find and reserve books online and have them sent to a designated library location, where they can [...]
Corner is in Ohio again for the month of December (he actually flies to Michigan on the day that I will be driving to Michigan for the holidays…jerk). As you may know, Corner does the majority of the cooking in our household, so it’s been interesting for me to figure out what on earth I’m [...]

Life has been nothing short of crazy lately. The wedding planning process has been slow going, so for those of you who have asked, we do not have a date set and we aren’t sure where the wedding will be. We did have an appointment last week to check out a possible venue in SoHo, [...]
I’ve told my family and we made it Facebook official on Thursday night, so I think it’s safe to post here to let you know that Corner and I are engaged! Wednesday afternoon, I found out that derby practice was canceled. It had been raining pretty much non-stop for several days, and the roof at [...]
Two years ago I started my Day Zero project. I’m not sure how so much time has passed already, but somehow there are only 271 days left. Thus far, I have accomplished 45/101 goals: Take the GRE Apply to grad school Apply to at least one grad school that’s a “reach” school Teach a class/workshop [...]
