If you detected an extra pungent smell of Cheetos and Mountain Dew in New York today, it wasn't coming from New Jersey. It's emanating from the Javits Center, home of 2009's New York Comic Convention. Last three from AP, all the rest from Getty...

we Bartell girls are known for our long torsos... i love everything about this picture that Annabelle drew a few months ago.the row of cute flowers at the girls feet, the birds flying by that look a little like turkeys, the detailed butterflies, the peeking sun, the splayed fingers and rockin piggy ...

I can't remember if I have two or three days left, and whether I was supposed to be done yesterday or today. It's been kinda crazy around here. We came up to Whistler in the window between snow storms. Got a tree, decorated it and the house in like two hours total, and haven't been able to access th...

Today I am selfishly happy that Laura didn't have to go to work, because that meant I actually got to see her before the new year. I'm also happy that I was hanging out with Laura because of sledding and girlie bonding and her taking me up on my "snow-be-damned" spirit and agreed to the adventure we...

Today has actually been really crazy. A faucet on the outside of our house started leaking last night as it was snowing, so my dad shut off the water entirely. This morning, my mom and I went to turn it back on, but for some reason couldn't, so I went up to my friend Alex's house to shower and hang ...

It wasn't sticking, but that's okay because up on the 26th floor here it looked super awesome swirling around.- Ice cream sandwiches. And the giggles-inducing irony of eating them while watc...

Thank goodness Mike Allen of the Politico Playbook watches all the morning shows, because sometimes we can't deal with all of the endless belt-tightening stories (now we're up to weight loss, food shopping, makeover, and investing versions). This morning he brings us all sorts of warm tales about th...

I don't know why I'm a sucker for those "midnight releases".  Books, movies, if it's something I'm interested in and it is released at midnight,  I'm there! Ridiculous, I know, but I waited in the midnight line for the book release, so I can't miss the m...

So how was your evening?  Truth be told, i haven't read yet (but I will after I finish this post), and I didn't get to crochet a darn thing, because Ezra raided my crochet basket while I was at the grocery store earlier. Dustin said that he had unwound a ball of yarn and it led from my...
