I got tied up at work last night…a pretty neat last-minute project that needed my attention. I was excited to help, but there was no way I was going to make it home in time to relieve our nanny. A pleading ping to my husband <simon is typing> “No problem. I’ve got it babe.” teamwork. I finished…

Oh no! They seemed like such a good couple. Poor Julia - but she’ll be fine, she always is. (Just like the rest of us!)

that is simultaneously completely and totally depressed, convinced I made a terrible, horrible, awful, gut-wrenching mistake, angry at men specifically, the world in general, and convinced I will never date or fall in love again.

In my last post, I mentioned shedding crocodile tears after watching a particularly touching Chrome Ad

Emphasis Added!: Awards [& Rewards] →
Emily’s right. Happy, successful people are that way because they stepped out of their comfort zone and took risks. I’d like to think I’ve done that and will continue to do that in my career, and build one i’m proud of.

Can I share some good news?
Last week, at work, I won an award. Like kind of a big one. It was recognition for my efforts on a particular...

what i would tell my younger self...(between ages...
1. You will fall in love again. So put down the phone and stop drunk texting him!
2. Don’t move in with friends. EVER. Your friendship WILL be ruined. Whether this is because you are difficult to be with or they are, who cares, don’t do it!
3. Don’t get a credit card. End of story. Because four years later you are still paying off that trip to Canada, New York, Aspen…

I am always so happy to visit homes, not just friends’ city apartments but real houses with brick and mortar and refrigerators that hum in the otherwise silent nights and marble counter tops piled with newspapers and cookbooks and pantries that are full all the time with staples and not just…
In good company....

There are literally thousands of videos and photos of things we did in Spain - midnight Paella dinners in the square of the village, with everyone young and old sharing together in a meal and dancing late into the night.
Afternoons spent laying in the sun on a blanket in the backyard of the house…

i am, despite this blog, despite my identity as an open book, an actual real life introvert.
that is to say that social events, however fun and wild and even comforting, exhaust me.
i have an amazing time with all of my friends old and new and i love being in those moments. and then i hit a wall…
Kudos!! Those are my fave kind of days.
