It’s amazing how long it can take to get “back to normal” after you’ve experienced such sweeping change in your life. New house, new car, new job(s), new lifestyle, really. New title. New status on forms. New last name. (I still have yet to switch over to my new email address with my married name, [...]
New Year’s Eve, it snowed. The entire weekend following, it snowed. Not so much snow that you couldn’t go out, but just enough to make you kind of not want to. Somehow I think it was nature’s way of saying, if you don’t take some time out to reflect on the year that’s just passed, [...]
I guess it started way back when. Way back when getting engaged caused me to take stock of my life. When it grabbed hold of my free time and began cutting off all the fat and then some, like an overzealous butcher. Suddenly, there was no time for anything except that which was productive. And [...]
Why does it always seem like the one weekend I’m going out of town/unavailable is the weekend where EVERYTHING WONDERFUL IS HAPPENING?! Like the weekend we got married and went on our honeymoon? The So You Think You Can Dance tour came to Boston AND so did Regina Spektor too. This is my luck. And [...]
This is it. It is this. My life is flashing before my eyes so quickly I think I must be dying. Or living too much. We’re getting married. We’re buying a house. We’re getting MARRIED.

We’regettingmarriedWe’rebuyingahouse. Pause. … I have this [...]
This week has been a bit of an anomaly for me. My boss has been on vacation and things have been pretty quiet at the office, so I’ve been able to take it a little easy. But instead of doing what I normally do when I am gifted with a bit of spare time (which [...]
It happened again. I had the dream. The dream, you know the dream. The wedding dream. The one where something major goes wrong and you wake up in a panic, thinking “My god, I have to hurry up and book that florist” or “buy those shoes” or whatever the task of the moment is? Well [...]
Fair warning: this is the blog post where I talk about Michael Jackson. I have a few things I’d like to say. But if you hate Michael Jackson or are just plain sick of all the coverage – fair enough. Feel free to slink away now. (But please come back, I still love you.) Ahem. [...]
New Year’s Eve, 2004. Watching the ball drop with my family, sipping a splash of champagne. I’m 19 years old and I’m thinking about the year ahead, about what I want to accomplish when I return to Boston for the spring semester of my sophomore year. As always, I make simple little resolutions. Promises to [...]
