    I have the most excellent news, I’m going to The Institute of Culinary Education to become a pastry chef! I start in July. I’m completely and totally excited about this. This has been a dream of mine for as far back as I can remember. And it just so happens we’re financially stable enough right…

    On Saturday my family headed to Harrison, New Jersey to watch the New York Red Bulls take on Philadelphia Union. The Red Bulls won 2-1. It was a great game. I was initially a little worried about taking Emory to a place where he might need to sit still for longer than 10 minutes. I…

    I run about 20 miles a week—sometimes more, sometimes less. But that’s been my average for a while. I love running. I run to avoid depression. I don’t take pills. (Not that I’m against doing so!). It’s just that running works for me. I run because it gets me high and makes me unbelievably happy.…

    I wrote the post below instead of doing what I should have done which was to call the establishment directly and ask them about the sign. Instead, I did what I can’t stand and got passive-aggressive about it on the Internet. (I am currently punching myself in the face for this, btw.) I’ve decided to…

    Today I ran in the JP Morgan Chase Run as One 4 miler. It was a short one. (I’m starting small this time. Several years ago I signed up for the NYC Marathon and got hurt trying to train. Stupid.) But I have to tell you: I’m pretty proud of myself. It turns out, I’m…

    Y’all, I don’t know what’s going on lately. I can’t seem to find time to post even though there’s a lot going on! Perhaps that’s why? But I want to change that. I need to make a plan and stick to it. I will come up with that plan straight away. In the meantime, here…

    We finally got our snowstorm. So this morning before things got too unruly out there, I decided to take Emory for a walk. All was well for a while. He even pelted me with snowballs. But then something happened with his hands. They started to hurt because ice cold stuff on bare hands hurts! Naturally,…

    Hey, New York City! You should come to Williamsburg this Saturday and adopt a cat. Empty Cages Collective is holding an adoption event. It will be held at PS 9 Pets on North 9TH Street. Please? Pretty please? ECC is a no-kill shelter. They work to trap, neuter and spay Brooklyn’s feral kitties (among other…

    I’ve been Debbie Downer lately and overall things are going really well. Anyway, I wanted to lighten things up a bit and post a picture of a license plate I saw while waiting at a red light the other day. Crazy, eh? Seriously, what’s the deal with this person? I am hoping it’s for a…

    I just interviewed a nanny to help out around here while I get some work done. I’m totally confused as to how this works and nervous about it all the same. You see, Emory can be a tough kid to keep track of especially when trying to take him someplace and she suggested that they…
