The adventure I am pleased to announce that I will be riding the Startup Bus from NYC to Austin, TX for SXSW! As I write this I am still totally in shock and completely elated. While on the bus, I will be working with a team of other awesome New Yorkers to design and launch [...]

This week I’ve decided to tackle Day Zero goal #54: go vegetarian for a week. I realized yesterday while we were putting together our grocery shopping list that all of the entrees I had chosen were vegetarian. Here’s what we’ll be having for dinner: Sunday: Lentil Chili Monday: Pearl Couscous with Roasted Tomatoes Tuesday: Roasted [...]
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am still alive. Things have been pretty busy around here getting Nigel acclimated to his new surroundings and settling back into working 40 hours/week (how easy it was to forget what that feels like…). Hhmmm, what else have I been up to? We went to [...]
My time here in New York has been such a whirlwind so far, there’s been hardly any time to blog! I just wanted to report that I started a new job on Thursday, December 9. I am working at Sposta, a small creative agency that works with a bunch of NYC-based publishing companies (think Conde [...]
I’m almost done with my Christmas shopping…only two people left on my list! For the second year in a row, I’ve managed to do all of my shopping online, and I love it. There are some especially good deals to be found this year. I can’t wait to visit Michigan for the holidays and retrieve [...]
Last Saturday I tried out for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby league. 122 girls tried out, and I was one of 28 girls who were invited to callbacks on Monday night. Unfortunately I did not make it to the Fresh Meat class of 2011 (which will only have 8 girls! wow!), but Gotham is starting [...]
We arrived in New York City about 2 weeks ago. I am loving this place so far! I’ve already seen a handful of friends and eaten some delicious food. Corner and I found a place in Astoria, and it’s nowhere near as small as I was expecting (unfortunately, it is just as expensive as I [...]
We have arrived at my mom’s house in Michigan safe and sound. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind. Dad, Robin, Corner’s parents, and Corner’s aunt Nancy were all visiting Monterey for a few days while we tried to pack up all of our worldly belongings. My coworkers threw me an awesome going-away party. [...]
This is something I’ve been keeping close to my chest for awhile. Corner has accepted a new job with the Asian Longhorn Beetle program in New York City! We are leaving Monterey in two weeks. That means we are getting ready to make the second cross-country move in 2 years. Moving never seems to get [...]
Okay, I did a Google search on this, and it seems that no one else has pointed out the fact that songs from Disney movies are chock full of GRE words….and it’s a really good way for me to remember them. Here’s a list of the words I’ve discovered so far: Pontificate (from The Return [...]
