It’s been a really frenetic 24 hours on my dashboard.
First it was all like “Yay! Health care for all!” then it was like “CNN forgot how to get news right” then it was one billion memes reflecting both topics then it was “Yessssss it’s Friday/Magic Mike opening day” and then “Katie Holmes is free” and then it was like “remember...
This is the sound I’ve been listening to for...
I’d really like to put Pawley in this Marc Jacobs t-shirt.
And then put Rosie in this tee that my parents purchased for her.
And go for a walk in DC.
I really think they’d be a hit.
One of my favorite things to do on lazy weekends is spend a Saturday morning picking out farmers market fare and a Sunday afternoon cooking it.
Obviously, the first priority when doing this is cocktails. So, up first were mojitos made with fresh mint, blackberries, and limes.
For an appetizer to pair with the drinks (and use the insane amount of fresh dill I now have in my possession) I made...
It's Like He Knows Me
Homeless man on my lunch break today: Ma’am, do you have some money you could give me? I’m so hungry.
Me: I’m about to go into this sandwich shop. Want to come with and I’ll buy you something?
Man: No m’am. I only want Five Guys.
Me: Only Five Guys? I mean, I really don’t have time to walk all the way to Five Guys right now.
Man: I need a cheeseburger. With...
So this morning a guy around my age got on the metro at the stop after mine. He sat down next to me and pulled out the Washington Post Express morning paper, flipped to the crossword puzzle and began working on it. I wasn’t paying much attention, but then I happened to glance down two stops later and notice that he’d almost completed it.
I’m pretty sure my jaw literally...

Oh, hello there temptation.
So, I didn’t want explain it in my blog send off of my parents’ pup, Abby, but her death was fairly tragic. She was eaten by coyotes. I’m not going to go into the details, but, as you might imagine, it was traumatic for my mom who could hear her barking from inside the house and saw the coyotes in yard.
I took this pretty personally. In large part because Rosie frequently...
So you know how sometimes over the phone you have to spell out your name or email address? And how normal people are like “Yes, it’s Karen. That’s K as in king, A as in animal, R as in Robert…” You get it.
I am COMPLETELY unable to do this. For me, this is what happens:
“It’s Sarah. That’s S as in snuffleupagus, A as in a, R as in racist, A as in a...
Weekends should be longer than two days. Like maybe 365 days. A year. This was a heavy-on-the-calories and light-on-the-work kind of weekend. Which are obviously the best. Here are some of my favorite parts.
On Friday night I met up with my brother and his girlfriend for pomegranate margaritas and ridiculously gorgeous views of the Potomac at the National Harbor.
One of the things I love...
So This Is Weird
A few months ago I was riding on the metro home from work one afternoon when a guy behind says “Rachel? Rachel?” And then lightly taps me on the shoulder, “Rachel?” I turned around, politely smiled, and said that I wasn’t Rachel.
Then, a few weeks after that, I was waiting in line for coffee at the Starbucks near my office when a guy approaches me from the side and...
So last night as I was finishing up making dinner for my book club, my replacement pink gown arrived from Rent the Runway and I tried it on and it didn’t fit and I realized my backup was at the dry cleaners and then my friends arrived for the evening. Ok.
So then Rosie was sick all night and I’m starting to actually appreciate the quiet in our backyard at 3 am, but also I need sleep...
