My primer to getting married young.
maryrambin:
You know, I don’t have a problem being 27 and unmarried. But dating these days sucks. Period.
Most of the girls I know from high school and college no longer have this problem. In fact, they haven’t had to deal with this for a while because they got married soon after college.
In this episode of TMI I sit down with a couple of my girlfriends from high school to talk...

Fail.
My college alma mater is having serious marketing/PR issues. It churns my stomach. I suspect they have spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars and for what? A crappy slogan, bad website and a void where a new logo should be?
P.S. Don’t even get me started on the new athletics team name, which, in my opinion, sounds like a stripper moniker.

“The media has packaged for us an unhealthy idea that one must suffer loss, be in...”
– Scarlett Johansson for the Huffington Post
I loved this article. I’m glad a celebrity addressed the issues she did and in an honest, forthright manner.
There is no bigger pet peeve to me than seeing magazines throwing around fad diets and cleanses as the path to a better body.
Scarlett...

When the air gets colder, my heart gets warmer.
Tanya’s post got me thinking. When the weather gets chilly and crisp like it is this morning, it makes me very nostalgic. I miss playing with my sister outside and jumping into piles of leaves. Sometimes I miss my sister so much, I feel like crying. We almost never fought and always, always played together. All sorts of games: dress-up, paper dolls, Barbies, pioneers (complete with bonnets),...

News that'll make you want to shoot yourself in...
MTV is paying Kristin Cavallari $90,000 per episode of The Hills. Heidi gets $100,000.
FML.
You know, I could sit at restaurants and look vapid for a much more competitive rate. Call me.

The new spring cleaning!
Real Simple magazine has a great Fall Cleaning Checklist on their website, which I’m going to try and get to over the next week—doing a bit each night so I don’t get overwhelmed.
My family came up yesterday after I had a very busy and trying week and they all pitched in and helped clean my house—my mom even cleaned my bathrooms! I’ve never been so grateful for my...
Oh sweet Sundays.
Brandon and I just ate and now he’s laying on the couch with both dogs asleep and curled around him. All that’s missing is me on the couch too, but I think it’s a bit crowded already.
Just wondering.
Carol wrote the following comment on my blog:
Love these picks! I also really enjoy your blog, but I think something lacking from your site is what you actually wear. It’s one thing to browse a website and pick out what you like or put together photo collages from NYFW - anyone can do that! But how do you incorporate key pieces into your regular wardrobe? I’d love to know and SEE...

I wish:
I could go back to the huge Athens food market where they had all the cheese, olives and fruit I could ever want or need. I loved the little old men who let me sample any olive I wanted and the friendly, bustling shoppers who were kind to me despite my complete lack of knowledge of their language or customs.
Eating fresh olives and a huge chunk of cheese on a sidewalk corner was one of my...
