So I wrote this last week but was about to delete it because I was like, it’s sooooo boring, who wants to read about my boooring life? And then I thought, hmmm, well, this site is called Michelle Woo (me), so I guess you all do. Which brings me to my first goal of 2010 [...]

The Takeaway
December 14th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Feelings
Sometimes I think about Arizona. I haven’t been back since I moved to LA nearly three years ago. I think about the evening drives, the majestic sky, the warm, still nights. Mostly, I think about my old job there, how it challenged and fed me, how I was surrounded by some of the most talented, [...]

Get behind yourself and push

When I first entered journalism, a lot of people told me I would be successful. Those voices of encouragement were my fuel. I aimed to please, and every time I did so, I wanted to do it again.
Now those voices have been quieted, understandably so — there’s no encouragement in journalism right now — [...]

Spring Forward
March 9th, 2009 · 10 Comments · Feelings, General
Yesterday I bought a cute spring dress on sale at Anthropologie and today I wore it all day. Just because. I cleaned my room, watched a Food Network Challenge and did a workout video (don’t worry — I barely sweat) all while wearing my cute spring dress. It’s bedtime and I’m still wearing it. It’s [...]

You know what my problem is? I spend too much time thinking and dawdling and swaying and not enough DOING. I’m such an ineffective lump that I just spent nearly two hours online looking up magnetic boards. Magnetic boards! As in slabs of metal. Ooooh, Pottery Barn has a nice slab of metal. Oh, The [...]

Finding the light

I thought it was just a bad mood that enveloped me one day. Then when it stuck around, I figured it was an extended funk. (I have been working 11+ hour days, ugh, point finger-gun to head, shoot.) But today I had the realization that no, holy crap, this is a full-on crisis.
It sounds silly [...]

Someone gave this little book to my mom for her birthday and I saw it on the couch and started flipping through it. I was lured in immediately. My mom was like, “My friend bought that at Anthropologie. I’m going to return it for something cute.” And I was thinking, what can you buy at [...]

Unnoticed
February 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Feelings
Can you imagine being so good at something that people would want to meet you and read about you and go out of their way to shower you with kind words? I think about that almost every day.
I need to get a life. No, really.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a good year.
January 1st, 2008 · No Comments · Feelings
Happy new year, friends. I had compiled a list of resolutions in my brain (exercise, learn new skills, cook, keep my room clean, pluck more often, get famous — you know, the usual stuff), but for now, only one really tugs at my heart. In 2008, I would like to be more honest with myself, [...]

Weekly Freakout: Marriage Edition
December 11th, 2007 · 11 Comments · Feelings
As a 26-year-old woman, it is programed somewhere in my double-X chromosomes that I am supposed to think about things like marriage and weddings and The One. (That’s a scientific fact. Wikipedia it. If you don’t find it in there, let me know, wait 10 minutes and then hit refresh.) It’s just been difficult because, [...]
