I know it was just a couple months ago that we got back from our honeymoon in Kauai but it’s not hard to miss PARADISE when the weather is starting to move from chilly to just really f-ing cold and you’re trying to save money on your gas bill because you’ve never HAD a gas [...]
Well, I’m nearly two thirds of the way through NaBloPoMo and it’s continuing to challenge me every day. And while I do think it’s really pushed me to turn out some of my best writing, it sure can be a demanding bitch. And I say that with love. (And some small margin of hate.) (But mostly [...]

Today is going to be a crazy day so I’m not making any big efforts here. In fact the only reason you’re about to get a glimpse into the minutiae of my weekend is because it’s NaBloPoMo and I HAVE TO. So, we’re waking up early this morning to go to Home Depot and get [...]
I know I’ve waxed poetic here in the past about New Orleans, one of my favorite cities in all the world, but lately it’s been on my mind a lot. For one thing, we’re already thinking ahead to Jazz Fest for next year. This time, we want to recruit more friends and family to come [...]
So I got a question the other day from someone doing research on Boston wedding venues, wondering if we found any other venues in Boston (as in, other than The Wang Theatre where we got married) during our research that were really cool too. And the answer is yes. While the Wang provided the look [...]
What I didn’t get to mention in my revelations yesterday was how very hard it was for me to leave my job, so let me tell you, it was a veryveryhardthing. My stomach was in knots all week, it was on my mind constantly, haunting me like a bad dream. I’ve never quit any job [...]
