A field guide to growing up without growing apart
This weekend I was asked THE DREADED QUESTION (What are you doing with your life) and didn’t really come out alive. By now you’d think I’d be good at deflecting this one, making up some sort of flowery answer that is somehow both satisfactory and […]
You know that problem, when the people in your life that you love just don’t seem to get along with the each other? And you’re stuck in the middle? Well, I have been feeling that way a lot recently- especially as regards to my house. […]
Oh Brother. Where, oh where to start. I’ve written here and there about him on this blog already but writing an entire post on my favorite (and only) brother seems ridiculously daunting. He and I go way back, back to when he was born and […]
Some of the life milestones in our twenties have to do with fashion, as we mature past the skankier and more foolish choices of our teen and college years. I remember a few years ago wondering when I would begin shopping exclusively in the Misses […]
Cinderslut’s recent post on brothers has inspired us all to think more about our sibling relationships. And so I’m taking you on a journey into the depths of my relationships with my brothers. I am the youngest of three, and the only girl in my […]

I hate shaving my legs. You know how most girls have that story of stealing their mother’s razor when they were young because they just couldn’t wait to become a woman? Or that beautiful moment when they learned how to slide the delicate blades against […]
So, a couple of months ago Sleeping Booty posted about her experiences at a Morman wedding. Now I want to complement that with a post about another wedding- in the Czech Republic! Percival’s friend Tomas (pronounced To-ma-jzsh) was getting married and he wanted Percival to […]
Friends I’m worried. What if social media is ruining our ability to actually presently enjoy anything? On Saturday I went to this thing called Color Me Rad and even though hundreds of people were theoretically there to enjoy themselves, in actuality I was hard pressed […]
