This morning on the bus, I found myself in a bit of a pickle. Since my usual middle window seat was taken, this time by a woman and her three overstuffed suitcases, which I might add, she claimed were “quite comfortable” and “not going to move,” I shuffled all the way to a lone seat … More More, please!
So, its certainly been more than a hot second since my last post, but I swear I have an excuse. I recently moved into my first apartment (insert excitement here & watch this video, too!), hence the lack of writing. Besides working & getting settled in, I’ve been extremely preoccupied with galavanting around my new … More Because who doesn’t love guest posting?!
For the past half-hour, I have been sitting at my computer, re-writing, deleting & re-writing this opening paragraph. Since I’ve started allanabytes a few months ago, I’ve rarely had trouble with writers block. Usually, my mind boggles with ideas and I start scribbling down phrases or the like, on post its, or the palm of … More Brownies & Best Friends
When I think hamburgers, I often divert back to my past, when I am reminded of myself as only a small, skinny byte who would engorge herself on McDonald’s hamburgers as an after-school snack. Growing up, I could easily polish off 2-3 burgers in a matter of minutes, chomping down on that greasy bun, with … More DMK – Best dang hambooger in town.

So, I … More Non- Pareils

Today is a very joyful day. And, if you turn on the song “Oh,” by Eric Hutchinson and don’t start … More Purple & Popovers
Now Playing – “Prophecy” – Remy Zero with a side of “Chocolate” – Snow Patrol Uh oh. It has been three weeks since my last post. I am legitimately cringing as I write this. I don’t really have an excuse, so I’m not going to make one up. Over the past few weeks, I have … More BACK WITH BROWNIE COOKIES!
Sea of Love – Cat Power / Out of my Head – Fastball I admittedly have a tendency to get extremely “over-excited” all the time, but in particular, when it comes to food. If you dare to mention a really great artichoke appetizer you’ve eaten recently then you better be prepared to watch me melt … More Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Now Playing – Bittersweet Symphony – the Verve Yesterday, I bought myself a big-time present.
Now Playing – Make You Feel My Love – Adele To know me, is to know I have an obsession with all things you-tube. For many of my friends, facebook, twitter or a quick late night food run would suffice as a normal break from I.S., our senior thesis /independent-study-goodbye-social-life-massive-100+page paper, all Wooster students are … More Cheers to a You-Tube “past,” cheesecake present & brownie future.
