MOVING DAY 2

Which I’d like to rename “The Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg heard ‘round the world.” Yikes. I stayed up allll night. All night. Riddled with anxiety.

Sidenote: Repeating things in sentences REALLY adds emphasis. SO DOES ALL CAPS.

Which brings me to…ALL NIGHT. Bejesus, this life change is really taking it out of me. I imagine this is what it would feel like to go through menopause in two days. Moody and hot. Also, I’m sitting on a dirty bare floor sweltering next to the heater in our bedroom because the house is SO COLD with the movers schlepping everything out to their truck. Their big scary truck. The big scary truck that’s going to drive all our stuff to the big scary city.

I am such a sleepy pussy today.



Ok, ok. A few things to look forward to…

FRIDAY is Viva Oz Vegas at The Triple Door!


SATURDAY is haunted brewery night in Georgetown!


SUNDAY is stuffin’ muffin’s and punkin beer at the Dundi!


MONDAY is Shimmy The Vote at Chop Suey. Red, White + Boobs!



We fly on Tuesday and I start work on Wednesday. Prepare yourself for updates on my Jersey-City-based world domination. (read: manic depression).

MOVING DAY 1

Dear Internets,

Here’s the deal. I’m sitting at my little bistro table on the side of my house drinking a 3 year old chilled can of champagne. (Hey, it’s in the PM, so drinking is fair game). The packers have just left from packing all our belongings and I figured what better time to blog than now. Blog thirty. Well, more like Blog fifty-nine.

Oh yeah, I’m moving to nyc.

Sorry I forgot to tell you, Internets. I haven’t felt much like writing because a crazed about-to-move tiny blonde does not a happy blogger make.

Oh yeah, I dyed my hair brown.

For my own personal record and for any of you I haven’t seen in person to tell, here is how it all went down, as they say:

-Got a job offer in September-ish to be a copywriter at an agency that rhymes with Crotchy & Crotchy.

-Thought it over with Husband and Dog (+ my girl-other-halves…you know who you are.)

-Replied “um…yes” to said job offer at the Crotchy place.

-Commence the excitement. Then the panic.

-More excitement.

-And then some more panic.

Then a few really good things happened here. LIKE…..

Road trip! To Montaner with Amander. Well, this happened right before the madness but it was so fun and so country it’s worth mentioning. A local actually said to Amanda and I, “I shore would like to have a twosome with you gals”. Oh, Montana math. Also, they don’t really have accents there, so…….sorry.



Went to Port Townsend with BFF Fae, her Mom and her Mom’s BFF. It was like a BFFapalooza. Cue the photo.


We closed a totally successful run of 80’s Confidential with The Heavenly Spies. Is there any other way? As if. Like, oh my god!



I packed up the VW (car, not bus…I wish!) and headed South to PDX to hang with mama Roxanne (yes, coolest name ever), Dad, celebrate brother’s b-day and then spend some time with the other halves of my soul. I got to see Sugar Q do their full show. IT. WAS. GORGEOUS. We also went to The Mercury Talent Show where Sauce won a couple years back. And I got to stay at Ebie’s house. For, like, days. Plural. I want to go back. Now.


The usual suspects and I went to Seattle for Obama at The McLeod Residence before it closed. Not to mention I got to vote for Barack Obama oh-so-officially via my mail-in ballot. Phew!



Um…who’s not obsessed with Frances Farmer? I know I am. So we all took a ladies spookball trip to The Thornewood Castle for a very private screening of Steven King’s Rose Red (which was filmed at the castle), some red wine Ouija mayhem followed by a visit to Ye Olde Western Hospital for the Insane. I mean……we even wrote and recorded a spooky soundtrack for the weekend. Ahh ahh ahhhhhhhh. (woah, inside joke.) ORB CHECK!




Another can ‘O champagne bites the dust. More to come.

Overheard in my office.

“In heaven, the rivers are flowing with gravy, chocolate and beer.”

Obama said knock you out.
