Hi, friends! My day started bright and early with a knock on my hotel room door from Monica, who arrived on a red-eye flight from California just 30 minutes earlier. I thought she might want to sleep after a long cross country flight, but she rallied for an early morning run. Monica said running helps [...]

Rise and shine, it’s time for yoga with Martha Stewart! My day started bright and early at Theodora’s apartment. We were both invited to a yoga event with Martha Stewart this morning, so I spent the night on her couch (Theodora’s not Martha’s) last night. At 6:30 AM, we hopped in a cab to Grand Central [...]

Annnnnd… I’m home. Wow. That trip felt like a time wrap. Boston —> New York City —> Boston. So glad to be home— at least for a little while. Breakfast I never sleep well in hotels (because I’m usually on edge and wake up every hour worried that a stranger is going to come into [...]

Hi, friends! Around 3:00 this afternoon, I arrived safe and sound at Penn Station and then headed directly to my hotel for my stay in New York City. It was less than a mile away, so I hoofed it instead of taking a cab. I love hotels, so here are some photos of my room [...]

On Thursday night, the folks from California Grapes hosted an amazing media dinner at Saxon + Parole. I’m still thinking about the meal a couple of days later! Saxon + Parole is a stunning space. It was definitely a treat to dine there. The dinner was hosted in a private room at the back of [...]

Hi, guys! I just got back from having lunch with Ellie Krieger. No big deal. Lunch This afternoon, Kris, Karen, and I met Ellie at Cookshop for lunch. (Kris and Karen are the PR folks from the California Grapes Commission.) Cookshop was a great spot for lunch. The restaurant itself was open and bright with [...]

Wow. What a crazy-awesome day. Never in a million years did I think I’d end up on television for a batch of healthy cookies that I baked. I love how random/unpredictable my life is sometimes. Hey, I’m just going with it! Yesterday morning, Theodora and I dressed in our holiday best, freaked out with nervous [...]

Marathon training + day drinking = Clearly, those Punkin Ales went right to our heads. Theodora and I continued our day drinking with Ashley and Bo (Ashley’s husband) at Happy Hour. We planned to meet at The Ginger Man, but it was super crowded when we arrived, so we went next door to the Galway [...]

Three drinks last night. Seven miles this morning. I am a rock star. Theodora‘s interview lasted two long hours yesterday afternoon, so when she walked in the door of her apartment, it was time to drink. Yes, Theodora, I will drink with you. Friends don’t let friends drink alone. We drank Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka [...]

Wow! What a fun-filled weekend! Running, friends, good beer, and good food— everything I could have ever wanted on a vacation! After the Mini 10K and brunch, I headed back to the hotel to quickly shower and get Mal. We had plans to meet friends at Blind Tiger in about an hour, so I really needed [...]
