There’s no pretty way to say this and this post is going to be whiny and rambly and unpolished and I don’t even care because it totally mimics the day I just survived. Am still surviving. (Thanks to a bath and a glass of Malbec.) Today was terrible, almost from start to finish. The kind…

Girl Scout Cookies and WINE? YES, PLEASE!
Forget about your New Year’s Resolutions for weight loss and fitness and overall health, people. And blame the Girl Scouts while you’re at it. Those little angel-faced, cookie-peddling Pollyannas come around just as we’re all hitting a plateau in our plans and BAM! Cookie season is here. As it is my duty as a connoisseur…
Hey, Look! I’m Over There!
“Hey, I’ve gotta go. Justin Bieber got arrested.” That’s how I ended my morning phone call with my BFF yesterday morning. Because that’s what I’m doing now. I have about 10 minutes before I fall asleep sitting up at my desk and thought maybe I’d take a minute to fill in the five people who…
What It Looks Like To Work From Home When Your Kid Is Sick
Just as I was turning out the lights after finishing my Scandal review, I heard sounds coming from Emma’s bedroom. By the time I got to the hallway, they had stopped. I tiptoed into my bedroom, used my cell phone as a flashlight to get to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and then heard her crying….
Mama’s Tired
I’m not sure if it’s the time change or the new meds or the weekend or the fact that Emma’s cutting eye teeth and sleeping terribly or a combination of all of the above, but sweet Jesus, I’m tired. All the time. I’ll just be sitting here and then I’ll notice that my body feels…
Never Wear Heels On The Red Carpet
It’s possible I’m writing this post from the afterlife right now and you’ll see why in just a minute. The conclusion of my whirlwind vampire-driven weekend has come and gone. Tonight I worked the red carpet at The Vampire Diaries 100th episode celebration, interviewing cast members, former cast members, producers, and writers from both TVD and The…
No, THIS Was The Fourth Best Day Of My Life
Today I was on the set of The Originals to interview the cast. AHHHHH!!!! Daniel Gillies walked in and someone asked if she could take a picture of him and he said “can I take pictures with people?” Um, yes. Of course you can. OF COURSE YOU CAN. So, Daniel Gillies took pictures with all of us….
The Fourth Best Day of My Life
First I got married. Then I had kids. Today I visited the set of The Vampire Diaries to interview the cast and see some Hollywood magic in action. It’s the fourth best day of my life. I’m not talking much about the interviews I did because 1) I can’t and 2) it was for work, but I…
What I’m Watching
Almost 2 years ago, I was hanging out on Twitter talking about how much I loved The Vampire Diaries when suddenly I found myself the recipient of a DM pointing me in the direction of my dream job. I did a test run and before I knew it I was hired to cover American Idol for TV Fanatic. And…
Simplify, simplify
Today, I made a choice. A hard choice. A really hard choice. A choice that I’ve weighed and waffled on for months. Today, I quit my job to become a stay at home mom. I’ve never been good with cramming the quality into only an hour or two like some moms can. I need quantity…
