Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
My parents came up for a few days to help me get my new apartment all set up. It’s like a totally new place. There is still plenty to do, which means this weekend will be primarily business, not pleasure. It’s a little stressful, but it’s worth it now that it’s all coming together. For…

I loved having a 4-day weekend. I spent the first two days running from event to event and the next two days barely leaving my bed. It’s all about balance. I have wanted to see Clybourne Park since I read an article about it in New York Magazine back in April. I loved the idea…

Today is my last day in the office until Tuesday thanks to the glorious long Labor Day weekend. Many of you think of Labor Day weekend as the last official days of Summer. I think of it as the first official days of football season. Different strokes. I love when Sarah comes into town because…

Last week was a bad week. I’m pretty sure every opportunity for stress to enter both my personal and professional life was fully exploited. Just breathe….

The summer is chugging along and I’ve had no complaints thus far… Second Time Around, a designer consignment store just opened a few blocks from my apartment. Until they set up shop in my neighborhood, I was safe. The other two boutiques near me were too pricy for me to even walk in the door,…

I am so thankful my company usually gives us two days off for all holidays when most people are lucky to get one. After going crazy in Vegas, it was nice to have a two-day week (where, let’s face it, I was barely functioning thanks to my wild bachelorette adventures) followed by a relaxing five-day…

Steph’s bachelorette party was a full weekend of ridiculousness. And with that, let’s begin the Vegas edition of 3 on Thursday. Pool parties are “the thing” in Vegas. No tote bags, flip flops, or beach reads here – this is all about dressing to impress and dancing up a storm. Everyone carries clutches and wears…
