I hate shopping. I hate clothes shopping. And shopping in places where there are a lot of people and horribly lit dressing rooms with fun house mirrors that trigger panic attacks because “are my hips and pores and jowls really that big?!?!?” But put me in front of a computer with a credit card and…
Isaac look at this picture of my friend’s potential wedding dress. Do you like it, I mean from a guy’s perspective? Uhh, yeah sure (walks away). That’s it?? “Yeah sure?” Yeah. You asked from a guy’s point of view, so that’s what you get. Dangit, you’re absolutely right.
60 days people. 60 days until I have to squeeze into a wedding dress and actually manage to walk, breathe, converse, and possibly even eat. This past weekend I had my final wedding dress fitting (eek!) and while it was awesome, it was also a little horrifying. The dress fits, I can zip it up…
January Not only was it the highlight of my month, but probably my YEAR! I got to be in the delivery room with my best friend as she gave birth to her second son, Grant. Her husband was deployed in Afghanistan so we had him on Skype and the doctors let me document the whole…

When I see something unjust happening, the Aries in me kicks in and I just have to get involved. Remember that time I threw ice cream at a woman? Cant.Help.It. Yesterday…
A website I love and use almost every day is Goodreads.com. It is a place where you can keep track of books you have read, books you want to read, quotes you like, and receive book recommendations. You can connect with friends and see their virtual bookshelves, too! Normally I am an avid reader, but this…
“What is your worst quality?” The question feels like one you are asked in a job interview, where your answer is something carefully crafted and practiced in front of the bathroom mirror. Your answer to this question sounds like a flaw on the surface, but it is really designed to make your interviewer see what…
No, it’s not Mother’s Day. Yes, this is an interview with my mother. Why? Because she is funny and has some good perspective on life. She raised four daughters and lived to tell about it. She once had major brain surgery because my sisters and I literally made her lose her mind. Okay, not really.…
