This afternoon I got together with some friends to celebrate our reprieve from wintry weather (in April!) with some yoga in Cheesman Park. My friend Jessica Owens is working her way up through the Denver yoga teacher scene, so we were lucky to snag a free, “private” (quotations because we were in public!) session with …
Mom and Zig are in town, which means long brunches, trips to the mountains, good dinners out on the town and a little extra hustle and bustle in our lives with the little one! To celebrate the big 2-5 Mom took me, HBL, Jean, Mike and Zig out to dinner at Shells and Sauce, one …
Yesterday being the most important of days, my birthday (I am now a quarter of a century old- how did that happen!?) HBL took me to my favorite of favorite restaurants in Denver, Cuba Cuba. If you are ever in Denver, you MUST visit this cute little restaurant for caipirinhas, arroz con pollo (if you’re …
From the first time I visited New York City, I became obsessed with the idea of living here. Everything I heard about it sounded glorious: cupcakes delivered at 3am? Same day Barnes and Noble delivery? Ryan Gosling rescuing me from getting hit by a taxi? Sign me up. As it turns out, though, visiting the …
I don’t consider myself to be particularly anal retentive. (Or is the vogue term OCD? What’s the DSM using nowadays? Is anal retentive even a thing anymore?! They change so fast I can’t keep up.)

Because I have absolutely no qualifications to make these assessments (rather reminiscent of the panel on women’s health that the US Congress convened …
So as it turns out, living in a major metropolitan area doesn’t only offer good Chinese takeaway and potentially-productive hours lost people watching. In actuality, the Three Man Electrical Band was right, signs are everywhere and, if you take a moment to investigate, are quite entertaining. Right on. V.O.M. Why are the policeman, woman and …
Hoorah for finally seeing my first Clint Eastwood movie, Sudden Impact. It clearly has had an impact on me, as I keep insisting on going around using strange phrases in a husky voice whilst deluding myself into thinking I’m a totally badass. Wait…maybe it’s not such a delusion. At the super successful Hatchet Job of …
This morning when I looked out my window and viewed the Dickens-esque snow scene in Weaver’s Fields as pictured below, I did not think about it’s beauty, or the inherent magic of snow, or even how it made me slightly homesick for Denver. Instead, my immediate thoughts turned to the status of London Transport, which …
This could happen to anyone, anywhere. However, it happened to Hannah and me. In London. Think of the fact that this could happen to you before you make a judgment. As an aside, I think this story merits urban legend status. So, ANYWAY… Last week my friend Hannah and I were walking down one of …
