I strongly dislike grocery shopping. I end up putting it off as long as possible... seriously to the point of near starvation. Yesterday on my way home from a family party I stopped at the store to get my week’s shopping done. I knew if I didn’t go I’d be forced to eat expired yogurt all week.A few minutes into my grocery adventure I noticed a guy following me. He wasn’t creepy so I ignored him and continue shopping. Sadly, I wasn’t able to ignore him for long. He followed me me isle after isle. It was obvious he was trying to get my attention, but because ‘ ...

I rarely get a home-cooked meal. I don't enjoy cooking and cooking for one seems silly when I can survive on chocolate, wine, and frozen meals. So when my friend Jon offered up a homemade meal I took him up on the offer. I'm always down for participating in the 'Feed a Starving Student' program.Jon works downtown near my office so we met on the street as we were leaving work today for the exchange of goods. It probably looked suspicious; the two of us passing a pan of lasagna back and forth, but it's easy to overlook the implication of drug deals when the drug in question is lasagna! ...

I'm a sucker for new products. Remember the tanning lotion post? All I need to hear is "new" and it's a done deal. Last week I saw an infomercial for a NEW! product that promised to get rid of all my pet hair problems. Boy do I have pet hair problems. Living with Daisy the Pug is no easy feat. That girl is a shedding machine! Her fur is like little pine needles that stick in my car upholstery and couch. It's horrible, but she's just so cute that I can't help but snuggle her on the couch.Knowing I can't go without my pug snuggles I bought the Scotch Fur Fighter. Those tape lint rollers can on ...

My name is Sarah and I’m addicted to self-tanners. Currently I have six different kinds of self-tanner in my bathroom. I can’t commit to just one; I have to try them all. I don’t NEED six kinds of tanning lotion. I need one for my face and one for everything else, but I’m a hoarder. I have to try every single new type of tanning lotion I see. It's a sickness I tell you. You don’t want to know how many different bronzing creams my make-up bag holds. It’s a sickness I tell you. However, a bathroom full of fake tan is far better than a body full of skin cance ...

My office has open cubicle space, which I don’t mind at all. I’m a social person and I love being able to sit alongside my work friends. The only problem with open space is that my co-workers can easily see how stark my desk is.Someone once told me that an empty desk means an empty life. While I know that’s not necessarily true it still sits in the back of my mind.My co-workers have framed pictures of their spouses and/or kids on their desk. I don’t have kids and I don’t have a husband so there goes that idea. I could bring in a framed picture of my dog but then I ...

It’s not easy being a 33-year-old college student. Some days are better than others—today was NOT one of those better days.Recently I’ve made an effort to get to know some of my fellow students. In doing so I met Bryson. We have two classes together and have started sitting with one another. Today I was trying to get some reading done between classes when he found me.“Sarah come quick you have to see my twin!”“Dude I’ve seen your doppelganger; he’s in the last class with us.”“My dopple-what?”“Your doppelganger.”&ld ...
