If you’re anything like me, the pandemic has pushed you to do things you’d never before fathomed. Maybe you’ve ordered your groceries online Maybe you’ve hosted a birthday surprise on Zoom Maybe you’ve washed your bags of Doritos with soap From setting up a stationary bike in the dining to pumping gasoline through a plasticContinue reading “Cheese, Layers and Tots: My 2021 Survival Guide”

Streaking, Together
It’s the holidays, and that means it’s time for tradition. But what traditions are left in this godforsaken year? I bet your annual Turkey Trot was canceled. You probably didn’t line up at your favorite retailer for midnight doorbusters. And if you’re like my family, you even made your little brother and his questionable quarantineContinue reading “Streaking, Together”
We’ve Trained for This: The Coronavirus and Me
I may have forgotten to mention it: Did I tell you I’ve been training pretty hard for the past three months? Training for a fifth marathon, you ask? A community 10K? A speedy half? No, dear reader. I’ve been unknowingly training for a whole different kind of event: social distancing. And MAN, am I inContinue reading “We’ve Trained for This: The Coronavirus and Me”
A Barre Class Built for Two
Friends, remember how, at the onset of summer, I had just joined a barre studio and was extolling its virtues? (I’ll remind you: I wrote about it here, before going MIA for pretty much the remainder of the season. My bad. And here I thought my ghosting days were behind me.) Well, I’ve now beenContinue reading “A Barre Class Built for Two”
A Place for Everything and Everything in Its Place
Given the chance for a do-over in life, I’d probably take it. Now I’m not talking about the big stuff, like who I’d choose to marry or what profession to pursue or whether to stream Queer Eye Season 4 as slowly as humanly possible to savor every last corgi scene. But there are literally hundredsContinue reading “A Place for Everything and Everything in Its Place”
Raising the Barre
Whether or not you know her, it’s time I lay it out there: I trust my friend Rogan’s opinion on just about everything. Not only does she have excellent taste in NYC roommates and undergrad liberal arts colleges, but I also defer to her on all red wine selection, white wine selection and Irish fiddleContinue reading “Raising the Barre”
Pouring One Out for the OG Blog Dog
Before Lucille — or even Ben — graced these pages, about 85% of my posts were dedicated to a certain goldendoodle with great hair, a sunny personality and immediate star power that probably warranted its own spin-off blog but then what would I have written about here? Oh yeah, running. Forgot that’s what I foundedContinue reading “Pouring One Out for the OG Blog Dog”
It’s My Party and I’ll Hygge If I Want To
My childhood was leave-it-to-beaver charmed, and never more so than on the days leading up to November 18. Every year, we’d check out the same “how to plan a birthday party” book from the library, design six to eight handmade invites for a sweet group of babes I’m mostly still friends with, and print aContinue reading “It’s My Party and I’ll Hygge If I Want To”
Something Old, New, Sweaty & Blue
Weddings — no matter how you slice it — tend to be pretty decadent affairs. If you’re a guest, it means hours of unlimited crab dip and bubbly, unless you were at our wedding, in which case you strangely chose to drink the bar dry of totally healthy full-cream White Russians. Mmm. If you’re aContinue reading “Something Old, New, Sweaty & Blue”
Runner Regrets
I’ve regretted a lot of things in my life: Mentioning every single one of Lucille’s ailments while on the phone with her prospective pet health insurer. Skipping Mitch Hedberg’s October 2004 show in Portland, convinced I’d get the chance to see him another time. This haircut. But you know what I’ve never once regretted? AContinue reading “Runner Regrets”
