JULIE: Gabs, can you please clean up this room? I’m really tired of all of your stuff in little vignettes all over the room. I’d really like to see it actually put away.
GABBY: Okay. But can I keep all the stuff?

I will say that Dave’s going to love that.

Last night, I spoke to my friend Tobin. Regarding the Thanksgiving holiday, I said, “I don’t know. It was fine and not fine.” I told him how, in the middle of dinner, I was suddenly totally exhausted for no reason. He said, “You’re still in what I call The Year of Shitty Firsts.” And […]

Not. Yet.
So I think we’re all in agreement that Thanksgiving is rather early this year, yes? Therefore I do not understand this early holiday panic that appears to be gripping Western Civilization. Everywhere I go, people are all, “Ohmygosh I can’t believe it’s the holidays already” and “I need to get my […]

It has been ten months since we lost my dad. The more time goes by, the farther he gets from us– and that is hard. Also, I recognize that my friends– who have been there and been so present and supportive of me– cannot surround me like this forever. I realize that […]

Yes, she's wearing a necktie.
Addison J is wearing this outfit to school today, with my full knowledge. I just don’t have it in me to do anything about it.
