In the face of so much uncertainty, I know this is true; I never want the holidays to feel like this again. This has always been an important time of the year to me, and I want to honor it without so much confusion and sadness for all of the rest of my days. Perhaps [...]

DISCLAIMER: Adventures in Schnooville is my personal space on the Internet. If you’re here, it’s either because I’ve invited you in, or you happened by and I decided to leave the door open. Are you hearing me? This space is mine. For me. Please don’t forget that for a second. All of the thoughts, dreams, [...]
Chrysalis, Day Three

Being sick and homeless sucks. Beyond that, I’m doing okay. I’m back in the city, in a comfortable guest room at my friends’ home. They also have a dog, so my creature comforts are covered here. I saw my family last night. It was bittersweet. There’s the usual happiness and exuberance of the little ones, [...]
Chrysalis Life, Day One (Morning)

I drifted in and out of sleep, waking only once with the panic of feeling like I was having a bad dream (and that dream was in fact my own reality). Instead of being woken by my step-children, I was greeted with a tiny dog that looks like Samuel L. Jackson crash-landing on my sternum. [...]

A baby fell six stories from out of a window, bounced off a restaurant awning and was caught by a doctor who just happened to be walking by. This is a true story. Check it out here. That’s some kind of crazy luck. That’s the kind of luck that I’m calling Paris Luck. I believe [...]
Wishful Thinking

I wish you knew how much I love you all. I wish you knew I want to be a family. Even if it’s changing and growing. I wish you knew that I need you. I wish I could be less afraid. I wish we could all find clarity. I wish I could watch you grow [...]

A broken heart’s manifesto… I could not bring myself to participate in the revelry of Nuit Blanche because I am exhausted on a level I have never before touched on. My bones are tired. My hair is tired. I’m getting a cold, and I just want to stay in lycra and sweaters and fuzzy socks [...]
Pulling the Pork in Jersey

Today is my brother’s birthday. Rather than celebrate with a bbq at my parent’s house, we’re headed to Jersey to the home of Mafia Joe, his wife Mafia Monica, and their 7-month-old Baby Joey. Jersey doesn’t get much better than this. I get to meet more of the NYC crew. Brett is notorious for being [...]
Ushering in a Pantsless Soho Nightcap

All the babies I’ve encountered in the city are fussy today. The morning started out hot – a clear dry heat that made me think of Austin, Texas. I threw on an ankle-length gray jersey sun dress and some silvery flats with a turquoise scarf to go downstairs and get coffee with my loves. I [...]
The Lady Comes Knocking

This week has been wrapped in the familiar haze of a place I’d hoped to avoid for a few more years. A dear friend of my love’s is losing his father to cancer (I always, always want to capitalize that word) in New York, and tonight we embark on a midnight road trip, Thelma and [...]
