You know those days when you feel like you suck at life? When you are just unattractive and awkward and no matter what sort of skills you know that you have, suddenly you feel like you can’t do anything well? Sigh.

I feel the need to say that my job has now made me twitchy. My eye and and my right arm are now both going haywire and I look like I’m routinely sticking my fork in the light socket. I hear this can be caused by anxiety and lack of sleep.

This morning, someone brought me a free, unexpected, out-of-the-blue Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. This is one of my favorite things of all time.

It’s a little fancy for me. It’s a lot darker than I normally wear. But I have to say, I’m feeling kind of [...]

Can I confess something? This year I have very mixed emotions regarding the Tonys. Don’t worry; I’m still madly in love with the show. In fact, this was one of the better years in a while and I thought the numbers were outstanding, the speeches were brilliant, and the stars unbelievable. It’s just that my [...]
