I’m not one to really celebrate Valentines Day, but as an adult I’ve used it as an excuse to make myself a special meal (typically steak). This year, my beau suggested he cook for me as a nice lil switcheroo. I admit, I’m nervous since I’ve never even seen him cook grilled cheese and he has…

I may have had my fair share of wine last weekend, but it was all done in a low-key fashion (going no further than the place in my office building on Friday night and sitting on the couch, glass in hand, during the Super Bowl). I didn’t even leave my apartment on Saturday! It looks…

Other than the Super Bowl, I don’t have any plans this weekend so I guess I’ll be figuring it out as I go. I’m slowly getting back into a gym routine so I’m feeling pretty good and I want to take the weekend to get the rest of my life in order…not that it’s particularly…

Two minute and creamy. Helloooooo those are pretty much the best words ever – especially if used in the same sentence. Actually, that sentence could get real dirty real fast, now that I’m thinking about it – EWW get your mind out of the gutter! This is the perfect way to jazz up your everyday…

Two book reviews in a row?! Whaaaat. I’m feeling so erudite. Honestly, though, this book really made me think. It’s probably the most academic book I’ve read in a while and definitely the most feminist. I picked it up because I found the title funny and assumed it would be a humorous take on the…
