Tony and I are going to a wedding tomorrow and I can't wait. I LOVE LOVE. (And also free food. And booze. And any and every excuse to dress up. Did I mention the food, though?) It's only a few hours away, but I'm so excited to get out of town (again) and take a mental break. I was particularly psychologically abusive toward myself this week over some career stuff and some friend stuff and just some life stuff in general, and I'm ready to reenact a Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey meme and contemplate my place in this world by the ocean while I'm hungover post-wedding, probably noshing on a street burrito. I hope you have the same relaxing, recharging, burrito-filled weekend that I am wishing upon myself. Here's what I'm grateful for right now...View Article

I feel very honored to share this latest guest piece from Heels in the Hills' resident mommy blogger, Barbara King. She's written before about the madness of the Los Angeles school system, and all of the things that cost the same as private school in L.A. Today, she's sharing her very personal and important decision on the school she and her husband ultimately chose for their daughter...View Article

Tony got a tooth pulled yesterday. When he stumbled into the waiting room with his face completely numb, he asked if he looked okay and I told him, "Honestly, you look a little Sling Blade." But last time I got a tooth pulled, I peed in the car so I'm not really one to talk! Here's what I'm trolling online while the poor patient recovers...View Article

A recap of our favorite adventures/meals in Austin! We spent a long weekend there to cheer my brother on in DreamHack (an international video game competition) and I AM SO PROUD OF HIM IT'S STUPID.View Article

Tony took all of these photos AND came up with the title. Also, these are recycled lobster nets which serves me right for all of the sushi I eat. I am worthless. THAT IS ALL HAPPY MONDAY BYEEEEE!!!!!!!View Article

Today, I am most grateful that I woke up in Austin, Texas, one of Tony and my favorite cities on planet Earth. We're not staying at our usual haunt, the Hotel Saint Cecilia, but we are staying at a hotel that offers free margaritas from 4-6pm and has gold ice buckets in the room, so I am a happy lady (and, in a few hours, will be a happy drunk. FREE MARGS, guys. It's the Hotel Van Zandt, if you're wondering.) We're currently in town with my parents supporting my brother and his girlfriend as they compete in the DreamHack competition because my family travels like a herd of wildebeests - if one of us is doing something interesting, everyone else has to come along. We got in last night (Tony was mistaken for a woman at the airport, which made me pee a little from laughing), and as soon as we rolled up, we loaded up on the complimentary booze and went for a stroll along the river. It's shaping up to be a great, food-fueled weekend and I hope yours is just as wonderful! Here's what I'm grateful for right now...View Article

I am supersupersuper excited to share May's Book Club pick, "Modern Lovers" by Emma Straub. Specifically, I am stoked because 1) Along with the rest of the world, I am OBSESSED with Ms. Straub's beautiful writing. 2) "The Vacationers" is one of my all-time favorites, and a book I always recommend when people ask me what to read next. And 3), perhaps most thrillingly of all, I was sent an advance copy of the book to read prior to its release. ADVANCE COPY. This is the fanciest I have felt since Tony and I were sent a box of free meat sprinkles in hopes that we would post a picture of our dogs eating them! I could not put this one down...View Article

My parents were in town from last Wednesday to yesterday morning, which means I ate something green and not deep-fried for the first time in almost a week today. Our house has a thin carpet of dog hair from the 5 canines we collectively live with and up until noon, I thought it was Monday. (It's Wednesday.) Instead of dealing with my life and attempting to be a functional adult in society, I'm trolling the internet. Here's what I'm reading instead of doing the laundry and shoveling the mountain of dog crap in our yard...View Article
