You are a bad influence on me
Yesterday I posted this on both Twitter and Facebook: And it’s true – it’s something I’ve been thinking about wanting for a long time – but of course, it’s a huge decision to make – bigger than any other tattoo decision I’ve made thus far (see my other tattoos here). And every time I see…

What’s in your beach bag?
Some of my summer favorites, thus far: Neutrogena Ultimate Sport sunscreen: My friend Brian suggested I get this when I complained on Facebook that the Coppertone I was using was really heavy and greasy. He was right – I love this new stuff. It’s so light and sheer I almost forget I’m wearing it. But no sunburn! Apple…

The only thing missing is turndown service
Have I mentioned I’m an impatient person? No, my house is not even on the market yet. Yes, I know this is not a good seller’s market. But that hasn’t stopped me from thinking about what I want next – and wishing I had it now. The problem with looking at houses and townhomes is…

I sleep on the floor
Ok, so I’ve showed you my completed closet (really, is anything ever really complete?), my hallways, one of my guest bedrooms. So now I’ll show you my bedroom, and of course I am showing you this so you can laugh at me: Yes, it’s true. I have 2 fully furnished guest bedrooms but no furniture…

It’s all about the art
So that you don’t get super bored by me talking about the upcoming marathon, I’ll talk about something else today. More home decorating! I already showed you my closet. What’s next? Today I’ll show you the hallways. Sounds boring, but that’s where some of the art is. Let me start by saying 99% of the…
