Only in SoCal … [sneaky compliment or insult edition]
People. Despite my sad real talk about moving, which is real, I’m also ridiculously happy here. So happy that I’m going to Compliment-or-Insult my new home … wait, let’s not lie. I’m going to insult it. There is craziness going down in Southern California, and it deserves to be called out, made fun of, and insulted.…
Can I Really Make It Here?
When I moved to Aspen, failure was not an option. Sure, I did the whole trying-it-out-for-a-month thing, but that was a trial run for what I knew was inevitable: that I was moving to Aspen with the Vermonster, who was living out a dream. So failure wasn’t an option so long as I wanted to…

I do, however, love love, dating, and all that jazz. So this press release arrived, and I laughed out loud: “In advance of The Bachelor’s final episode [which…
Let’s Get Real: Moving to a New Place Solo (Sometimes) Sucks
I’ve talked about making new friends in Austin and Aspen, but both times it was while I had friends. In other words, I’m a preachy idiot. For all my pretty beach photos and happy community talk, let’s get real: moving somewhere by yourself with no friends (ok, I have one friend) sucks. Most of the…
