Getting more sleep was my key goal for 2011. Here’s an update…not so much. If anything, my sleep deprivation might be worse so far in 2011 because there’s just so much that I want to do. Like I said in my year-end post, I resent the small amount of free time I have so I…
The cupcake eating must and will stop…on Ash Wednesday, which is technically today, so I need to get my latest reviews posted now. The last thing I’m going to need while trying not to eat cupcakes is to write a cupcake review. We tried Bake Shop in Arlington a couple of weeks ago. The reviews…
My childhood best friend lived next door to us. She was three years older than me, three years more creative and more fun. Playing with her was much more fun than playing by myself and those were usually my only options. We were inseparable, especially during the summer. She would come over and make up…
I’m challenging myself to get through a whole shuffle of my music collection on my iPod without skipping. Then I write about what I heard each week.

Using oil to clean my oily skin is one of the most counter intuitive things I’ve read about in a long time. But if people on the internet jump off a bridge… Actually, some of the arguments made sense (oil dissolves oil, using products that strip away all your natural oils makes your skin produce…
I’m challenging myself to get through a whole shuffle of my music collection on my iPod without skipping. Then I write about what I heard each week. I have been playing the game Collapse on my iPod while listening to the shuffle on my commute. Perhaps it’s cheating, because it allows me extra entertainment during…
Hey, have you heard about the cupcake craze that is sweeping the nation? Oh, you have? Well, I didn’t have a blog when it started, so now you’re just going to have to bear with me as I write about it. I’m of two minds on this boutique cupcake bakery thing. Part of me realizes…
