I love to travel
I love to get out of Washington, and I love seeing people I don’t get to see on a regular basis. I love flying, I love hotels, I love putting on my “out of office” messages (any time I get to use the phrase “out of pocket” is a bonus, regardless of whether or not I’ll have access to wifi or voicemail).
The sick, sad truth of it all, though, is that what I love...
Horoscopes may not ALWAYS be bunk
Paradoxically, the benefits of pampering yourself are greater now than any specific work you might do.
I will never ever argue with that sentiment.

Craxworthy - Blaze's Beans
Holy God.
10000000000% better than celery for a Bloody Mary garnish. Amazingly tasty on their own. Made in Vancouver, so if you’re Dave or Abby you probably get a better deal than anyone else reading this. But they’re worth it.

I am pantsless and scraggly and having a really productive workweek and I am the master of my own destiny.
I feel like if my workweeks (day job, at least) were pantsless,...

The Great Gatsby (1925)
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
“It grieves me deeply that we Americans should take as our classic a book that is no more than a lengthy description of the doings of fops.”
From one-star Amazon.com reviews of classic novels
(I’m going to try to use the phrase “doings of fops” in at least three work emails today.)
Apparently that reviewer would rather have a...
Blahsome/Awesome 1 - Short Term Boyfriends
Five minute boyfriends are totally blahsome. Five SECOND boyfriends are totally AWESOME.
While at the National Museum of American History this past Saturday, a handsome man walked past me and made eye contact, but kept going. A couple of minutes later, he walked past me again going the other way. In true, awkward Jenny Craxworth fashion I was talking to my companions, red faced and sweaty from...

Oh, DC
Kwame Brown has $50k in bad debt and you’re mad that his boat is named Bulletproof?
Why not get mad that he didn’t sell the boat to get himself out of debt-related legal problems?
Just a thought.

I am possibly the only person who is capable about rapping so confidently about being awesome, while being so terrified that he is not. In any case, let’s do the damn thing..
Someone is cutting his record this week. Or multiple singles. Regardless, he’s doing his thing. Are you doing yours?

We Hold These Truths
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the...

The upside of being a princess
I may not know what I WANT, but I definitely know what I do NOT want.
That apartment building was beautiful, and had all of the amenities I could possibly want, but the living space of the apartment itself was smaller than my current bedroom.
But damn, that was a beautiful closet. I won’t be seeing one like that again for a very long time.
WTF is this shit? →

I am a princess.
I’ll be the first one to admit it, too. If I go dress shopping, the only dress in the store that I will like (before I even start looking at tags or pulling things off the rack) will also be the most expensive one. While shopping on my lunch break last week, I found a bag on the sale rack (okay, so it was at Barney’s Co-Op). The perfect size, and the perfect shape, and it just happened...

It's a fitting last act
Last night, my iPhone cut itself off overnight. Again. It was working just fine when I went to bed, had a 50% charge, and when I woke up, it was turned off. It’s like it knows I’m dumping it today.
As much as I love my iPhone (maybe not this specific piece of hardware, just the concept of an iPhone) and my go go, too-expensive, well-designed iPhone lifestyle, I don’t like...
