“After our time together, when he’d have to fly back, there was a hole in my heart, a gap so big that I was afraid it would divide us… We’d talk at least three times or four times a day, our ears pressed hard into the receiver - as if we could possibly get any [...]

So.
I walked out of the crowded subway car and across the street to Yankee Stadium. I texted to tell him I’d arrived. He called to tell me his location.
Since we met at a bar, I could hardly remember what he looked like. I’d looked him up on Facebook - natch - but that hadn’t been [...]

Once upon a time, I drove to work. Because of this variable, I had a little wiggle room in the timing of my departure for work in the AM. I could always drive a little faster if I was a few minutes behind, right? The pedal-to-the-medal would save me and bring me to work just [...]

I DO NOT get the bitchy girl thing.
Being from a clan of affable Midwesterners, I just don’t see the purpose of being rude right upfront.
I mean, if you’re going to be all Judgy McJudgerson, wait until you at least have the valid ammo.
I encountered two such people last night and I’m fairly positive that I [...]

Though I used to don a pair of heels to work, I was forced to jump ship after the 2nd day. I’ve been wearing flats ever since, but my toes are still slightly swollen. What gives?
Remember that “Oooh, feels good to be challenged” post? I’m over it. It sucks to lose that comfortable feeling and [...]

A new school year.
Freshly sharpened pencils? Check.
New book bag? Check?
School crush?
Also, check.
I was all set to elaborate on the pros/cons of my New-Situation-Crush. (I always end up with one of those.) But then this weekend happened.

So, yesterday I was walking to the subway from work with two coworkers, one of whom I’ve got it bad for (see future blog post).
We hear a man across the street JUST yelling. “Miss! Miss!”
I, being the naive Midwestern girl, look in his direction and then quickly regained my stare forward. “No eye contact!” I [...]

So, apparently I suck at living here and blogging. Which is ironic because the flow of blogsperation is heaver than ever before.
It sounded like I was talking about menstruation just there. Ew.
Anyway, let me tell you about my slanted apartment floor.
It’s an old building. It’s a hardwood floor. It’s slanted.
