Sometimes there’s a sort of character that I play called Sassy Pants Fat Girl. Don’t get me wrong, when I say character, I don’t mean in a play or on TV. Though I would be happy to oblige should the need arise (I’m lookin’ at you, Matthew Weiner). No, Sassy Pants Fat Girl is a … Continue reading »
Well the cat is out of the bag, or rather the belly is out of the pants…I’m pregnant! Cue the trumpets and the parade already. Jon & I are very excited to be welcoming a new addition to our family this September. There’s all sorts of anxieties that come with the idea of bringing a … Continue reading »
New York New York truly is a wonderful town. Last week, me and the husby traveled across the country for a little well-deserved vacation in New York.

Yesterday I decided to treat myself to lunch. I had just gotten out of my improv class and had some errands to run at The Grove (which is an obnoxious word for “outdoor mall” here in LA) so I decided to check out some of the new restaurants there I’d been hearing about.
