Life has this extraordinary way of equalizing itself. Great weekend with friends, bad day at work. Great day at work, stress with personal life.

Adult.
There is a point in your professional career when you realize you are actually valuable. That you are not just pushing around papers, that people are coming to you with questions, expecting experience based solutions and leadership. And for a moment, it is fucking frightening.

Dad?
I call my dad (he is home alone, working, while my mom stayed in Cali). He picks up, sounds strained, and tells me he will call me right back.  I immediately think something has happened. Was he crying? Is Grandma Schmidt okay? He does not call me back. 25 minutes later, I call him back. “Are you okay, what happened?” “Yes, I’m fine. I vomited.” “Oh my god...

bachlorette.
I’ve been to a few, seen a few and if I ever get married I think I know what I would want mine to include… Friends. Comfy Pants. Good food and Drink. And by good food, I mean things like puppy chow, beer and some italian or chinese take out. So basically an adult sleepover? Yes.

a day.
Called out sick today. Which is not news, except for the fact it is the first time I have done it in six years of work. I am sick, really sick. Would have caused misery for my coworkers. Sniffles, sweating, sneezing… I am one hot piece right now let me tell you. I am also exhausted. Exhausted by one of those conversations you can only have late at night with someone you truly value in...

and THIS is why you have a best friend.
Her response to my post : I just read your blog post. I admit I hate it when people say this to me, because HOW but seriously- try to stop worrying about it all. you are YOUNG and there’s plenty of time left for you to get where you’re going.  Honestly, there’s little else you can do other than make the best choice for yourself today, and hope that those choices lead to...

hey, let me just beat that dead horse over there.
After a long mid-year (way too personal) review with my boss yesterday, my mother’s visit last weekend and probing from my sister about my next life move, I am exhausted. If you are not in a serious relationship, a homeowner or creating your own family at my age it seems you are subject to endless questioning of your career motives, pursuasion from family and the reminder of your ever-aging...
