Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty, and meet me tonight in Atlantic City. -Bruce Springsteen- Atlantic City, New Jersey: a place I've been to only once and actually never thought I'd find myself back in. Until this weekend, that is. The casino atmosphere has zero appeal and I'm not much of a beach... Continue Reading →
No Mousing Around
I've had a few little birdies lately (you know who you are and thank you!) give me some much-needed encouragement to start writing again and jump back on the blogging train. Well, it worked—I am back! Though sometimes I still feel like this: Writing is like a muscle; you've got to consistently train and work hard... Continue Reading →
15 for 2015
We're back in New Jersey after a long, relaxing (and much-needed) vacay in Wisconsin. This is also the first post of 2015, which makes it the perfect time for a 15 for 15 list! You all know how much I detest New Years resolutions; they're mostly false promises that very few people actually adhere to and... Continue Reading →
Until We Meet Again…
... "What I find most astonishing, I think, is the wonder of daylight, of the sun. All the centuries, millenniums-all the history-I wonder if that's why we sleep at night, because the darkness still...frightens us? ...come now; we can begin the day." - Agnes, Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance I still consider myself a...

Hey, Sole Sister!
Just. Keep. Walking. You know, Dory was right: When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Well, for my boss Annie and I, it's more like Just keep walking (and in keeping with our preferred method of marketing lingo: #imawalkdis) With our two-year walkaversary... Continue Reading →
Top 5: Walt Disney World
#wdwnatcon That's right, we used a hashtag for our Disney trip (thanks for the inspiration, Meghan). Five fun-filled days of excellent food, drinks, and, of course, the kind of magic one can only get on a Walt Disney World vacation. Quick back story: I haven't been down to WDW in two and a half years; The Boy... Continue Reading →
A Romp Through the Wisconsin Pumpkin Beer Patch
It occurred to me Sunday afternoon, as I was rummaging around in the refrigerator (and noticed that we have four—yes four—cold Wisconsin pumpkin beers), that The Boy and I have not done a pumpkin beer tasting at all this season, and Halloween is only a few days away. Oh. The. Humanity. So what better time... Continue Reading →
Feed the Twentysomethings/Tuppence a Growler
When The Boy and I moved into our apartment in Princeton in August 2013, we had recently traveled up to Providence, Rhode Island to see some friends and enjoy some theater...naturally, we came back with a growler from Trinity Brewing Company (like ya do). Not quite knowing what to do with the growler, we just... Continue Reading →
It’s Raining Lear
"And thou, all-shaking thunder, strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!" It all started when the virtual ticket lottery for Shakespeare in the Park was, well, much ado about nothing. (Which also happened to be the name of the first show of the park season...coincidence? You bet your Benedick.) So for the second show... Continue Reading →
