This coming weekend, Troy and I will be heading to New York to attend what I think is the last wedding of the 2023 Summer season. I’m excited, not only for the nuptials of two dear friends and having the chance to dress up one more time before I prepare to start packing up my […]
Although I’m scheduled to appear for Jury Duty tomorrow morning, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be cancelled so that I can sleep in a little later than usual because I am completely and utterly wiped. This past weekend has been filled with great food, great movie-going experiences, and some much-needed sunshine! But it […]

These past few weeks have been so unbelievably busy (in a mostly fun way, of course!) Between coming back from my mini-vacation in San Diego last month, to working press at this year’s Boston Calling Festival, having Troy visit for a week where we attended graduations/graduation-related gatherings for his family- and still working my full-time […]
