One of the hardest things about being a happily coupled-up blog writer, particularly one who started her blogging life as a desperately single girl, is how little fodder my gleeful quotidian life gives me to publicly ponder. It’s a lot easier to wax pathetically for numerous paragraphs about the misery of an unreturned phone call […]

I’m sitting here watching Rockstar: Supernova, the elimination episode. I’m desperately hoping Patrice doesn’t get kicked off, both because Barker is in love with her and because I dislike Jill so much. In the meantime, Josh is performing and though I’m mostly nonplussed by his chops, I’m still moved by his performance. Despite his crappy […]

GTB and I just got back from visiting my brother and his family (more about the trip in a later post) and all I can say about the above picture is this: if Niles was in it, I’d probably have to have it framed and hung above my mantle. If I had a mantle.

It’s NBA draft day. And all I’m gonna say is

Friends, Washingtonians, Countrypeople,

So I emailed […]

I know it sort of breaks the anonymity to show you a picture of my favorite boy, but COME ON! How cute is this? I mean, really.
Greg isn’t lookin’ so bad either.

Four days into this engagement, we have already overcome wedding-planning fight number 1: The Venue.
Monday was a blur. I had so many emails and phone calls that I didn’t get anything done at work. I was giddy after all, and how many times do you get to announce to everyone you know that you’ve finally […]

Y’all, I’m engaged.
Yep, GTB popped the big question, and we are now enfianced. I knew it was coming. His oh-so-subtle attempts to gauge my ring size and find out if I preferred round or square gemstones left little doubt. However, I didn’t expect it today. And I didn’t expect to be wearing sweaty gym clothes […]

GTB and I started watching Sex and the City from the beginning after he got me season 2 on DVD for Valentine’s Day, despite my well-documented negative feelings about that particular holiday. We’re up to season 4, which I have to admit I don’t like very much. And I have to say, I think it’s […]
