I could so do porn right now
So Amy and Jeff both asked me if I was going to blog about my bikini wax and I won’t other than to say Parvin’s Spa on East Boulevard is, hands down, the best place I’ve ever been for waxing and I will probably never go anywhere else. In describing it to Amy, I told…

Where the heck I’ve disappeared to
Let me start by saying I think I have a mildly addictive personality. When I get excited about a new project, it’s full speed ahead. And lately my obsession has been painting, which doesn’t really go hand-in-hand with the computer. But I have missed you all! I spent a week in Athens, Ga., helping Chris…

My birthday party video: The next best thing to being there?
I have virtually no experience in video editing, but Susan brought her Flip to my birthday party so of course we had to have fun with it at the bar. And of course I had to spend all day playing with it in Windows Movie Maker. Apologies in advance for bad lighting, bad camera skills…

I came in ‘last’ but I was the winner
So I ran another 5K last weekend, the third in the Frosty 5K series. This one was at Freedom Park. But this wasn’t “just” another 5K – this was the first race that my brother, sister and I all ran together. And that made it amazing. I should mention that my sister, Jenny, is 5 months…

Because it’s really all about the beer
All this running I’ve been doing lately is really because of beer. Because when I hear there is a race hosted by a brewery that starts in late afternoon (meaning no getting up at the crack of dawn) and it includes a brewery tour after in the great party city of Athens — well, I’m in. And…

Hot tub shopping on the day I lost a dear friend
This isn’t as cool as eating a bologna sandwich beside Chevy Chase, but it’s a message I won’t forget any time soon. A memory One thing I’ve always hated about having pets is how terrible it is when it’s their time to go. When my parents’ dog, Sybil, died when I was in college, my…

Didn’t they blow our minds this time … oh yeah
This was no ordinary concert. I’ve been to several concerts in my lifetime, some for artists I absolutely adore and other featuring artists I didn’t care much about one way or another (typically was invited to these by a friend and went alon more for the company than the show). But I’ve never been to…

A window into my childhood, or, the first boy I ever made out with
Tonight, I will see the boy I first made out with. His name is Joey McIntyre and he is the youngest member of New Kids on the Block. And when I was 12, his poster and I were tight. He got a good night kiss and we looked into each other’s eyes and he even…

Flashing boobs at wedding guests and other horrors
A memory It is 2004, September 04. The day of my wedding. Any stress that goes along with planning one’s wedding had escaped me the day before, as I sat at Aunt Josies’ at my bridesmaids’ luncheon surrounded by Mom, Mia (my grandmother), my sister Jenny, my aunt and cousins and bridesmaids – basically, all the…
