The scenes that follow the question asked to me by the bride: “Do you think three kegs will be enough for the reception?”
(Fashion confession: Yes, I wore the same dress I wore to the last wedding. Oh, the shame. Yes, I wore nylons. Oh, the shame.)
Thanks to Marianne and Alissa for the photos.

I had the best time on my short trip to Minnesota. The place has everything: lakes (nearly every home gets its own - it’s so Dawson’s Creek), the best pizza ever (OMG-OMG-OMG) and really nice, down-to-earth people who say “OR-EE-GONE” when pronouncing that tree-lovin’ Northwestern state. I started wondering why more people aren’t flocking to [...]

Matt and I took a superquick trip to San Diego this weekend as we really felt the need to go somewhere, anywhere. We don’t do too many things together that involve planning or spending or traveling beyond Crenshaw Blvd., so these 24 hours away from the laptops next to our pillows were a real treat. [...]

Hi! I’m at the airport! Posting from a blackberry! For the first time ever! It’s really not that exciting. I’m rather delirious. Say something. Anything. I’ll think you’re funny. I’m going to Taiwan. But first I am going to sleep. This week has been crazy. Craaaazy. Cra-to-the-z. Catch you later.
P.S. Thanks for the comments. You [...]

It was Saturday night and the girls and I were ready to take on the city. I had just spent hours deciding whether to [...]

I’m back from NYC. It was freeeeeezing, but awesome.
Here are some shots taken during a walk through Chinatown. See that white stuff? IT’S COMING FROM THE SKY! I title this photographic collection, “It’s really hard to take pictures wearing bulky mittens.”

Silly SoCal girls. More to come.

Tonight, I went to the gym with Alice, who just returned from a very long trip to Taiwan. How long was it? Two weeks? Three weeks? TOO LONG! I updated her on all the latest happenings in the good ol’ USA. Let’s see, Obama won in Iowa, Hillary won in New Hampshire — oh, and [...]

I’m back! And I reek of smoke! Yay Vegas!
Being just the BF and I, the weekend was rather low-key. Yes, this was my first Grown-Up Vegas Trip. No sneaking sleeping bags past the Venetian front desk in order to crash shoulder to shoulder with 23 other strong-livered partygoers. No mixing rum and Cokes by [...]
