I have a weird obsession with alarm clocks and kitchen timers. As in, I collect them. I know, weird, right? I’m sure if I had a therapist, she would say I was obsessed with time. It’s not like I am constantly checking time, or even actively use them besides for making cookies. My alarm clock […]
Thank you for making us proud. Thank you for making us believe. Thank you for uniting us for at least one night. Thank you for inspiring us. Thank you for making me cry with tears of hope and refilling my American pride. Thank you for making me proud to be an American.
This is what being American feels like. Today. Seeing so many voters taking part. It’s insane. It’s beautiful. It’s history. Some day my kids will ask me where I was. I should be at Grant Park, but I hate crowds. And public transit. And massive amounts of people. Plus I didn’t have the golden ticket. […]
Ah, how I love when TV shows someone emulate my life unintentionally. Or intentionally, since I don’t believe in coincidences. See How I Met Your Mother’s lastest episode and share in my belief that exs’ should not be invited to weddings:
Since I dont have the Cubs to depress me anymore, I now have the 10 o’clock news. Which is actually more depressing. But whatever. At least I know the news now “shooting on the South Side”…”economy in turmoil”…yadda, yadda, yadda…let the distraction commence! I am loving Fringe lately–although it does require my undivided attention which […]
I love pop culture. Probably because part of me likes the escapist factor of it all, and part of me likes to know what is going on in the pop culture world.

I have a confession to make, and I’m not really proud of it. But I need to purge all the same. Please do not judge when reading the next statement. My name is Stefi, and I am addicted to The Hills. I know, I know, I , too, tend to lose a few brain cells […]
I don’t know why everyone is up in arms about Katy Perry. I was curious (haha) and had heard that snappy little tune “I Kissed a Girl”, and thought the lyrics were, ok, one-dimensional, but it has a great beat and a catchy refrain. So I checked out her debut album. It’s great, well as […]
Would you go to your ex’s wedding? This is my predicament right now. I haven’t seen or spoken with my ex/best college friend since 2005…and I have no ill feeling towards him or his fiance…in fact, I am glad they are getting married because they were made for each other…they have that “story” that everyone […]
Watching the Cubs give me a heart attack playing Milwaukee…geezus! Although they just scored, and now it is 4-3…man, at least you can say they are fighting for it! So I got a notice in the mail about my dog barking during the day…from the Unknown Hall Neighbor who I have yet to meet, but […]
