Or at least he did in my dream. Because of forces beyond our control (read: parents), IP and I have begrudgingly started a new wedding registry at Target. And because I was once a baker, I found myself drawn to the ubiquitous KitchenAid mixer, the Calaphon baking set, and the Pyrex Prepware 13 piece set [...]
When I saw there was a Titanic-related entry on DCBlogs yesterday, I burst out laughing—I too had succumbed to the awesome power of Titanic on Sunday. It was on during my run at the gym. I thought it was the perfect movie for the second entry in the Gym Shorts category (2008 was a bad [...]
We all know by now that I’m quite the evil daughter. My own mother has affirmed that, indeed, I am a bitch of the highest order. But she means it in a complimentary way, honestly: she means that I can take care of myself and do not take much crap from people. There’s a better [...]
Dear Washington, D.C.:
Good morning! I must say, right off the bat, you’re looking quite fetching today. Did you get a new haircut? No? Perhaps you treated yourself to a full spa treatment and got some rest and relaxation over the long weekend? No? Hmm, what is it . . .
Oh, I know! A new administration! [...]
I once cold-called a literary agent. I had a manuscript in hand that I’d been working on for over a year—I thought it was ready to go and wanted to shop it around (before you ask: it was awful). So I found this woman’s name, took a deep breath, and placed the call [...]
I know it’s cold. I’m actually rather pissed that someone last week decided to either accidentally take or steal IP’s coat. Thanks to his stalwart nature, inability to get cold, Michigan conditioning and a poor leather jacket selection at Macy’s, IP still doesn’t have a coat. To the person who took it, intentionally or not: [...]
It’s true. IP and I know we have no patience for tourists, especially millions of them set to descend on D.C. So we’ve opted to make nuisances of ourselves out west. Of course we had been hoping to attend the Inauguration, but let’s face it: we live in Silver Spring and it’d require us to [...]
Welcome to the 2008 Year in Review. This year was definitely as monumental for me as 2006 was, but in a different way. It took some time to evaluate this year. When I asked IP if he had a good 2008, he said he had; and when he asked me, I was still in the [...]
A very happy new year to one and all. I sincerely hope that this is the year in which I post consistently and, as an added bonus, it’s not all wedding-related stuff. But I can’t promise anything.
Upcoming are the year in review posts and the 2008 book awards. The winners (and not-so-winners) have already been [...]
