A few days ago, I turned 24. In the months leading up to the big, earth-shattering event, a friend (a 24-year old friend) kept reminding me on an almost daily basis, that until I turned one year older, I simply wouldn’t “get it.”
About two months ago at work, I was left my first phone number. The digits were scribbled on a comment card I had dropped at the table, above some dudes messy signature of his name, Ben. The timing really was perfect – after dropping off the check and doing my standard goodbye spiel, “Aw, are … More My, “I can’t believe this actually happened to me,” follow-up to the winky face article.
When I woke up this morning and realized the temperature had drastically dropped from high 90s to mid 60s, my first thought was : Shoot. I wish I would’ve rocked my romper more this summer. A romper, in all its glory, is seemingly the epitome of summer for some folk, myself included. If it fits … More Summer, so good.
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.
Now Playing – “Oh” – Eric Hutchinson One of the reasons I post my “Now Playing,” (insert cool song and artist here) every time, is to showcase what song exemplifies my mood while I’m writing. Today is a very joyful day. And, if you turn on the song “Oh,” by Eric Hutchinson and don’t start … More Purple & Popovers
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 – “Home” by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros There’s nothing I hate more than the sound of my alarm clock going off. The buzzing, buzzing buzzing sound waking me from my deep slumber and my pleasant dream of eating artichokes with a spicy aioli dip that I effortlessly whipped up, while not … More The post that almost wasn’t …
