The French Experience (Ooh La La Explained)
So, what’s the deal with my juicy and cryptic post about the handsome French men? Well, it was an interesting day for sure! I guess I’ll start at the top although I warn you: there’s a good chance this post will become both ranty and gooey. The story goes like this… I received a booking…

News in the Ginger-verse
Ok, so I started writing a big post on where I’ve been these past few months but it degenerated into a pity party and got far too wordy. Basically I stopped writing because I lost the motivation as my life underwent some big changes. It’s no secret I hated my job, I was becoming increasingly…

Cottaging in New York
In an effort to help me relax and find myself again during my time off from work I have decided to join my extended family in New York State for a week. It’s funny, I’m going to be one of only two under-forty-somethings (my 20 year old cousin is coming) but I’m actually getting excited…

Hello darkness my old friend
I’m sitting here feeling a little bit ridiculous with one of those Biore nose strip things on.

The Breakdown
Wow. It has been a long time since I laid finger to keyboard and loosed my thoughts upon the world. It’s kind of hard, getting back on the wagon. You get away from writing and then suddenly it becomes this impossible task–the words just stop flowing the way they used to. I suppose that’s why…

Rest in Peace, Lady
I have had a wonderful, beautiful dog named Lady. She was a Spitz/Lab mix, medium size with the cutest splotches of dusty-brown on her furry white coat. She always looked like she was smiling and would wag her curled & feathered tail every time she saw you. She was a love hound–she could never get…

It won’t leave me alone
What does it mean when you can’t get the thought of someone out of your head? Does it mean something is wrong with you? Or right with you? Does it signify an unhealthy obsession, or something deeper? As much as I have tried to steel myself against it, Mr. Darcy keeps popping into my head…
