January 2011
I am still really really sick.
The flu/cold is never ending, but since I have been quarantined, I have had a lot of awesome friends call to make sure I am ok.
Also, someone posted that tomorrow is february. February is the last month of promises I made one year ago and its sort of exciting that I have made it this far. Nothing really changes when March 1st hits but everything changes. I am so excited for the possibilities....

With that being sad, tomorrow I’m going to stock up on paint, a canvas or two and some of those no sew tape doodads…
My “paintings” will probably emerge into a 3 year old attempting to replicate a Jackson Pollack but not really. Ok..Not even close.
I need a creative outlet and well…dance classes are so damn expensive in this city and I keep hearing that you can get art supplies on...

My God:
Charlie Sheen wants to be the patriarch of a HUGE “porn family” — composed of his favorite adult stars — and he wants them all to live in a mansion down the street from his own house … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to Charlie tell us … during the infancy stages of Sheen’s most recent bender Tuesday night, the actor brought his realtor and some of his XXX lady friends...
Ramshackle Glam (Tumblr): Curling With A Flat Iron →
ramshackleglam:
Last week, I went to John Sahag Workshop to get some highlights* from awesome colorist Doug Macintosh. While there, I went crazy over my friend (and stylist) Karmela Lozina’s long, loose, perfectly tousled waves, and she told me that they were easy to create…and that all you need to…
I bought a revlon flat iron and did this to my hair this morning. It was really hard to...
When I grow up...
when I was a little girl, I lived in this really small town in Indiana. Being about the only kid with a single parent, I was a social outcast from birth. So like any good little girl who loves to read, I became a dreamer. I would write stories and when people asked me what I wanted to be when I was older I replied, “I want to be a business woman in New York, wear a suit, and work in a sky...
Rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated.
Yesterday after I smuggled my cat into my new apartment, Lola and I did a little victory dance to Jay Z’s Big Pimpin. (It was the song currently on my Pandora.) It was awesome and amazing, especially since there was no one there to come out of their bedroom and say, “Alice, why are you dancing?”
Last year around this time (down to the exact day) I made similar plans that turned...
No, I don't want to invite you over...
I have had a lot of offers from friends to come over to my new place and help me move/unpack/hang out. It’s really weird but I turned them all down. I am feeling really protective of my new place like I want it to just be my place.
I plan on girl-ing it up. It’s going to be my spiritual retreat. I am going to fill it with happy things: flowers, cat, inspirational quotes, a...

onefootinthegrave replied to your post: The Al-Anon stance of loving someone for who they are.
how do any of us reach the point where we stop resenting our parents for their faults as people and failures at parenting?
I don’t know. The difference between my father and my mother:…
Letting go of resentments is about looking at OUR PART. How are we contributing to the...
Where's the hip/fun place to dance these days?
East Village? LES?
I feel like every 3 or 4 months I have to ask this question again, but seriously, I am beyond out of the loop. Is Home Sweet Home still a fun place to go? OR is it still smokey, not feeling the smokey these days. I am seriously most days an arms length from ripping a cigarette out of a friend’s mouth and eating it. I miss it too much to be around it.
On Halloween I...
Goodbye, carbs!

Hello, irritable but getting married in 199 days Meghan.
Also, my trainer said I need to be burning 500 calories a day, EVERY DAY in addition to eating pretty much only veggies and lean protein in order for me to hit my goals. Awesome.
Look, I have been a wedding photographer in a previous life and have shot over 30 weddings. Why are you trying to lose all this weight for one...

We live in New York City. Does anyone really worry that we are not going to be able to get sustenance?

Sigh. Ed Rendell was right.

No, no, I don’t believe you would understand.

An Apple A Day
I really needed to read this today as I just finalized my lease for my new apartment. I now have my very own UWS studio apartment.
Someone told me 10 months ago to make a list of five year goals. On that list, I put living alone. I never thought this dream would come true in less than a year.
The last...

New Year's Resolutions
This is actually the first year I don’t have NYE resolutions but I really love reading other people’s. There have been some really good ones and most people actually do it, but not me. I used to write these really long lists and then do NONE OF THEM. Every December 31, I was still unhappy, miserable, and feeling like a complete asshole for my life being basically the same.

New Year
"Baby sometime today"
was the text message I just received. Babies! I love them, I can’t wait to have a couple of them! What a great way to start a friday.
Sometimes when I open my mouth to speak to a room full I people, I don’t always know what I am going to say. But this morning at 8am, I found myself telling friends that I am really happy with where my life is at this moment. And how grateful I...
Family Backstory.
My family is huge and Irish from the greater philadelphia area. My grandmother was the black sheep of the family, married a naval officer, and moved to the midwest where his family lived. My grandmother died in 1998 and I pretty much split off on my own and didn’t talk to either side of the family until this year. I am stubborn like a mule and very set in my ways, so it’s taken me 8...
