My love story with my husband has been far from perfect. But it has been an authentic and deeply felt one. Ten years ago we met while I worked at a coffee shop near my husband’s office where he worked as an actuary. Our first date was in January ten years ago this week. (OnContinue reading “Ten Years Ago… Part I.”

The Things You Don’t See (personal post)
I really don’t share everything. And I often hesitate to share what I do. For example, I’ve hesitated to share that my maternal grandfather went to Juilliard and UCLA. He was definitely brilliant. Nobody in the family really disagrees about that. But, among his kids there are differing accounts about his credentials. Pretty much everyoneContinue reading “The Things You Don’t See (personal post)”
Goals
If I’m being honest with you, given the trajectory of my husband’s career we will definitely be moving or renovating our current house within the next ten years. It’ll be a trade-off. A huge trade-off. But today we were in the neighborhood and we drove by a home for sale that we’ll hopefully be ableContinue reading “Goals”
Curious Questions And A Crass Response (Repost)
Update from 2020: I’m reposting this ugly moment in my blogging history to grieve many things about the past few years. For one, I’m grieving that I put up with people’s bullshit for as long as I did online. I’m also grieving how much I was taken advantage of. But I’m mostly trying to forgiveContinue reading “Curious Questions And A Crass Response (Repost)”
Also… It’s Not “Nice”
Years ago I was friends with a gentleman who admonished me seemingly sincerely, “You can be so patronizing at times.” The thing is I care about people and try to be kind and sometimes it’s easy for me to become patronizing if I’m not careful. If ghosts exist I look forward to being one somedayContinue reading “Also… It’s Not “Nice””
Slacks
Are there words you hear that seem illogically annoying? Like, they just irritate you for unclear reasons? One word that makes me particularly and bizarrely angry is: Slacks. I hate that word. (Via Pinterest) When I hear the word slacks an image of a plump middle-aged man with glasses and rolled hems sitting on aContinue reading “Slacks”

My financier father-in-law earns somewhere from about $300 to $500 thousand a year. Maybe a hundred or two more. I don’t know exactly but I know it’s somewhere in that range. Remember how I told you the price of their main house? Oh you don’t? *nodding head* He also went to the University of MichiganContinue reading “…”
Jasmine’s Style
(Via Google Images) Since “Blue Jasmine” premiered in 2013 Jasmine’s clothes aren’t totally on trend anymore. She had a very classic style but even so I think her look is still at least a teeny bit dated in 2020. Just for fun here’s a semi update: … … Hey! Hey you there. Yeah. You. *clearingContinue reading “Jasmine’s Style”
Cute
Being an actual princess isn’t the same thing as being one in a Disney movie. In real life it’s a difficult existence. Sure there are glamorous perks but it’s not the cake, champagne and Hermès bags that many Americans foolishly think it is (or a lot of other people from around dither world too, IContinue reading “Cute”
Floozie (rant continued)
Yesterday I used the word floozie. What’s a floozie though? According to the online Oxford Dictionary it’s: “A girl or a woman who has many casual sexual encounters or relationships.” I’ve only been with my husband and one other guy. In today’s world that’s a very low number for a 36 year old, and franklyContinue reading “Floozie (rant continued)”
