Days 1 and 2 MB and I got acclimated and saw some friends; Day 3 I got terrorized on the trapeze. Days 4, 5, and 6, we got terrorized in a different way. I jest of course! Well, mostly. We spent Thursday night through Monday morning at my parents’ house. It was very nice for [...]

Reading about Hurricane Irene and how people are getting ready (or making fun of people getting ready) makes me feel like I should be doing something. Like rushing to the grocery store and buying all the buttermilk and quinoa, or canceling plans (not that we have any), or preparing to hunker down all weekend with [...]

Yesterday I was very blah for some reason. Coffee didn’t even do its trick! I ended up spending most of the day aimlessly surfing the internet, playing Words with Friends, and reading. The only productive things I did were yoga, reading and commenting on a couple of Nervous Breakdown pieces, finally getting together a free [...]

This week I was very busy with work stuff. While I love how my role has expanded, and while some things are totally fun (like live-Tweeting the Scripps National Spelling Bee!), some stuff has me worrying. Worrying because it’s unfamiliar territory and I’m afraid to fail, so much so that I woke up at five [...]

A logical plan has now finally been forged regarding my grandmother’s burial and funeral, after many illogical turns. First off, the funeral is in L.A. and the burial in Palo Alto. Palo Alto makes sense. My grandparents lived in Berkeley for years, and so Palo Alto is where my grandfather is buried. Why have the [...]

And so glad for it. First things first, I have a new piece up at The Frisky. It’s about my dad and in time for Father’s Day. Next, the ‘rents. Their visit was pretty relaxed, except from some quizzing/nagging from my mom, but that’s to be expected. On Monday when they were at my aunt’s, [...]

I feel like I barely got any work done today. Yesterday I started an essay that I was supposed to type up today, but the day just totally disappeared. I did at least pitch an idea to another magazine. Then I just remembered I wanted to do a blog post today too. My essay for [...]

Now my mom has a new plan: instead of coming up to San Francisco, go on a cruise for a few days. I was so glad to hear she and my father wouldn’t be staying with us for a week, that I enthusiastically said, “Sure, I’ll do the research! We’ll treat you guys! I’ll go!!!” [...]

*Sigh.* So my cousin is getting married in June in L.A. This means my parents are flying out, and thought they’d take the opportunity to come up and visit us in SF afterward. Simple, right? WRONG. My mother, as she does, has come up with a flurry of complicated plans. She had told me that [...]

Now that my mother doesn’t have to worry about MB and me living in some one-room hovel that exists only in her imagination, she’s looking for other things to worry about. Like cooking, or my lack thereof. “Why don’t you cook for MB once in a while?” she asked earlier this week during an otherwise [...]
