Toddler Steps

You guys. I lose track of a lot of things. Suddenly the kittens are cats. I’m about to turn 25 years old. I graduated college over a year ago… I’m working on a Masters’ Degree and I’m about to start another one. The polite offer I made my wedding photographer has turned into a company. [...]

Heeeere, Ducky Ducky!

I woke up today and realized that I feel like I’m behind on Life. Can you do that? I asked myself. Well… I suppose you can, because it appears as though I have. It’s surreal, almost– I sit here and I’m watching this amazing life happen around me. Events move past me, through me. I’m [...]

A Good Week

Y’all. I have had a kickass week. It didn’t start out that way, trust me. The week started with me hating everything, including my body, breakfast cereal and both of the cats. I’ve come a long way since Monday. But I’m thrilled to announce– quietly, a little timidly– that I’m starting my own company. You [...]

From James.

In getting all my new projects off the ground, I’ve been the Two Things that I always am when I get new projects. Snappy and Ferociously Independent.

Blaming the Dog.

I have a couple very large projects that I’m trying to get up and off the ground. Right now, they’re both sort of acting like stubborn bulldogs, firmly planted in place, waiting for me to say the magic word or produce the proper bait to motivate them forward. This is juxtaposed against Moxie Missives and [...]

Why.

I’ve never had to defend my relationship with James. It sounds stupid to say that out loud, but I used to make a habit of dating guys who needed defending– both BY me and FROM me. It was pretty obvious right from the get-go that James was my match, trait for trait, quirk for quirk, [...]

A tickle in my throat.

I almost smacked a bitch down on the Staten Island Ferry landing Tuesday afternoon. As a general rule, I am not an overtly confrontational person. I, like most New Yorkers, will communicate my displeasure with my peers through a hefty dose of icy glances and lots of passive-aggressive sighing. It’s a code we abide by, [...]

Iced-Coffee Tutorial for Professionals.

There are a lot of things you can do with coffee, I’m sure. It smells nice. You can use it to age paper. I’ve heard of it being used in baking. If you have a shirt that you’d like to get rid of, it makes a great staining agent {this works better if your better [...]

Things I Love.

This week while perusing The Internets for inspiration (in general, for life, but also for the wedding) I sifted through a lot of sand and then I hit gold. The thing about weddings today is this: everyone wants their stuff to look vintage. Don’t get me wrong, I am a sucker for warm lighting and [...]
