Swimming and Biking and Cupcakes, Oh My!

One of my friends describes a cupcake as “the perfect ratio of frosting to cake,” and I think she’s got a point. She also describes my brother as “a sweet little cupcake baked by the devil,” and I think she’s… Read moreSwimming and Biking and Cupcakes, Oh My!

More Disappointing Than Tragic

What does a girl have to do to get a meatball sub in this town? Yesterday J set out for adventures with friends, and these adventures included using the car, which meant that after my friend picked me up for… Read moreMore Disappointing Than Tragic

Stumbling Around

I’ve been exploring those little widgets that a lot of sites have at the bottom of articles. Not all of them turned out to be particularly interesting, but I’ve become instantly addicted to one. StumbleUpon lets you identify your interests,… Read moreStumbling Around

I Should Be Working Out

But I’m not. However, that still is one of my goals for this afternoon, while J is off on a road bike ride in Malibu. It’s been a busy weekend, and it’s barely Sunday afternoon. Yesterday we decided to see… Read moreI Should Be Working Out
