Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
It's hard to think about what your life will look like in 20 years when you're a 15-year-old with severe scoliosis who's about to go into a life-altering surgery and is more concerned with what your high school basketball career will look like than the road further ahead. But lo and behold, here we are:... Continue Reading →
To add to the ever-growing echo on the interwebs, 2020 was a year unlike anyone could have imagined. When Connor and I got married, we had no idea that barely 4 months later—and en route back to the United States from our honeymoon in New Zealand—we'd be entering into a weeks-long stay-at-home order and working...

Since starting a job in the city two years ago, I’ve become a ferocious reader. I often read while I’m on the subway, easily able to get lost in whatever story I happen to dive into. I've mastered the art of subway standing (sometimes it feels like a weird form of surfing) and not hanging... Continue Reading →
Are you pondering what I'm pondering? Well, sorry to disappoint, but the answer is "no," I don't have bologna in my slacks. But this past Friday, I was certainly zaney to the max! Connor got us tickets (Merry Christmas to me!) to see Animaniacs Live at Joe's Pub in the city and boy, did we have... Continue Reading →
Late last year, I was reading a lot about this new trend: bullet journaling. After a month or so of scouring Pinterest and the interwebs (yup, I'm an über-researcher), I decided to give it a try. I'm a crafty, creative individual who's been jotting notes down on scrap paper for way too long and wanted... Continue Reading →

So here's a photo of me with my infamous back card celebrating the stainless steel rods that have been decorating my spine for half of my life. That'll work in lieu of... Continue Reading →
I am a shy person (perhaps contrary to popular belief). Always have been (hey, at least I can admit it, right?). Moonlighting at the House of Mouse for all those years forced me out of my shell; though my role required no talking, lots of miming, quick thinking, spontaneity, running around in a dog costume,...

That was a late night (and pretty lame, I might add) attempt at a clever title, riffing on "back in the saddle"...Uber. Fail. In other news, I went for a run tonight for the first time in—checks watch—probably two months. It was a lovely fall evening in Princeton (it's currently a chilly 47 degrees) and...

First of all, three things: 1. I know it's already January 5, but I needed time to ruminate 2. New Years resolutions aren't my MO (that phrase has such a stigma...not a fan) 3. I forgot what this one should be...oops I was reminiscing over what I wrote last year at this time (in case... Continue Reading →
