I ordered a $39 throw pillow from Home Decorators Collection.  They charged me $15 in taxes and shipping.  It arrived and was ugly, so I sent it back.  UPS charged me $12.04 for return postage. Returning items via mail always makes me nervous – I hope they credit my card like I asked them to. …

Tomorrow night, Josh and Meredith are flying in for the weekend.  We will recreate this moment. I had an extra set of keys made for my apartment so they can come and go as they please; however, I didn’t have an extra keychain. I KNOW.  How could I not have an extra keychain?  Doesn’t everyone…

And a good Monday morning to you.  Yes, YOU.  Thanks for being here! How are you today? After Friday’s post of sunshine and daisies and love, I spent the weekend in the same blissful state.  I took long walks, had some good talks with friends, and bought a new pair of shoes that Karmen says…

Now, you know I love me some Nashville, but two weeks is a long, long time to be away from home.  After 14 days of suitcase-living, I will board a plane tonight, and head westward back to Denver.  I am grateful for the time I’ve had here with my Tennessee family, but ready to get…

You thought that I was your favorite Annie. Well, my little sweeties, prepare to forsake me for another. I have this friend Annie Downs.  You probably already read her blog – but if you don’t, you should start.  Because people, this girl has got it going on. Annie and I decided to swap videos, giving…

Yesterday, I had a hankering for something that, to my knowledge, did not exist.  So I took matters into my own hands and invented it. The result is probably worthy of a Nobel Prize – that is, if there were a Nobel Prize for HOLLA. See, if there are two things that I love in…

I have officially reached adulthood, and ordered my very first piece of brand new, custom furniture. It should be here in a few weeks. In a world where I trust that I will always have what I NEED, it’s a humbling luxury to – every now and then – get what I WANT.  I am…

You’re dying to know about the Great Sofa Hunt. Here’s the thing: I wish that I could be content with just any couch.  But if there is one word to describe Annie Parsons, it is “particular” – just ask my poor parents who have watched me for 1 score and 7 years (often with much…

First things first: go get excited for my friends Annie and Hillary.  Ow OWWW, ladies! Now, let’s whiplash back to my quiet life.  All I’m asking is to find a charcoal grey, non-microfiber, cozy, not-too-huge, affordable, totally sexy sectional.  Craigslist is failing me at every turn. When it comes to my home, I’m a big…

Yesterday, my favorite Handy Graham gave me a ring – not a diamond ring (I should be so lucky), just a phone call. We shot the breeze for a few minutes, and then he asked, “How’s it going there?  Are you doing okay?”  It was earnest and sincere.  My eyes stung for a few seconds,…
