Why hello, April! That photo is of me and my high school BFFL Erica before an Astros game. Based on the Reeboks I was wearing, you would justifiably think the year was 1984, but you would be mistaken as it was actually 2006 kids. I'm not a...
This post was supposed to be about the amazing brunch I had at Brick and Spoon with my lady friends Megan and Boh. But someone (ME) accidentally deleted those photos from my phone, so....oh darn, now I get to go back! And for now I'll talk...
Guys. I'm going to NYC in roughly 16 days, and I'm going to smoosh faces with my friends, shove pizza down my throat, dance to wild 80s tunes at my friend Mike's rockin' wedding, and bask in the tale as old as time tradition of brunch. But...
Last month I was able to go away for a weekend trip to Las Vegas to celebrate my friend Meredith's 30th birthday. In addition to participating in the standard Vegas activities of eating my weight in food and winning $37 at a roulette table...
On my long list of reasons I was excited to move back to H-Town a year ago, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo definitely ranked high. The list went something like this: Being close to my family. Never seeing another snowflake for as long...
On March 31, 2013 I packed up my bags, bid NYC a final farewell, and returned home to my Texas motherland. So while I've *technically* lived in the greater Houston area for an accumulation of 11 years (because I was born here and did a larg...
Y'all. I'm going to Peru. In a feverish fit of "I need to do something wild and independent and exciting and visit some more countries," I booked a solo trip to Peru for later in the year to visit Lima, Cusco, and hike Machu Picchu, followe...
Prepare yourself for some super hipster photos. Well, for me anyway. I'm playing with this new "Matte" action I installed on my Photoshop, and it's just so darn fun! It's also so darn fitting for this post because this was the day I sat in...
This year I had the PERFECT Valentine's Day, complete with Chinese Takeout, Netflix, and the best Valentine I could ever ask for! Also there's a 100% chance that the "best Valentine I could ever ask for" cost me my entire security deposit t...
It's February! Get excited! In truth, February might historically be my least favorite month. As a cynical teenager/early twentysomething, my February Hatred was about the anxiety of being single on Valentine's Day. Then when I was in relat...
Want to hear a funny story? (I'm hoping that if I charm you with a funny story, we can all ignore the fact that it's been FOURTEEN DAYS since I've put a post up here. Though I did warn you.) The other day I was at the Kroger on West Gray, g...
Hey guys, remember me? My February is a wee bit busy, so full disclosure, my schblog posts are going to be a wee bit limited this month. But I promise they'll become more regular soon old chaps. I also promise to stop talking like I'm stuck...
Happy 2014 Everyone! So that pretty much sums up how my year started. Dog indiscretions aside, I'm feeling hopeful about 2014. I had a lot of major life changes in 2013 (uh, hello, QUIT MY JOB AND MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY), so 2013 was a bi...
For the past six months I'd been going on and on about how I was training for the Houston Marathon, and that the training was like having a second full-time job, and how this was going to be my first and last marathon, and, and, and... I'm...
I've got a new party trick for you! And no it does not involve putting your whole fist into your mouth, introducing yourself to everyone as "Hi I'm Lucinda. What do I do for a living? I'm a Free Spirit," or showing up in your beat-around we...
I've refreshed weather.com about 47 times on my computer today. And the crazy part about it? I don't even like weather.com. In fact, I loathe weather.com. I loathe weather.com because inevitably I'll be sitting at my dining room table in th...
Now that the marathon is over I can eat things like this: And drink things like this: And design things like this: That's a lie. There's no way I could create something so majestic. But Little Woodrow's can! Last week I met up with my two r...
It's been a very dramatic week. I finally watched the "Downton Abbey" season 3 finale. I won't give any spoilers away to anyone else who is also over a year behind on their PBS shows (uhh, just me?), but WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAPPENED?! I mean...
Something very important happened this week. That's right - This year's season of The Bachelor started!!!!!!! Oh, the tears! Oh, the deception! Oh, the over-the-top plans of trying to make a man fall in love with you by pretending you're pr...
This is the opposite of awesome: Houston, is that a snowflake I see on the forecast?! "Wintry Mess in Heart of Texas"?! GIANT ASTEROID HEADED OUR WAY?! I thought we had a deal, Houston. Well, if my beautiful, perfect weather is going to be...
There are three very important things I need to discuss: 1) THIS WEATHER WE'RE HAVING. Oh. my. gorsh. THIS is why I moved back to Houston - forget the fact that I'm now close to my family that I love so much and have an amazing job that I l...
