My friend Robin came over tonight and–together with my friend Dara, my roommate Amanda and Amanda’s dad (amazing)–we watched The Bachelor. Here, my pointless, tipsy recap with Robin post-show. (Catherine for the win!)

Sometimes the days slip away because of work, and suddenly I realize it’s been weeks since I’ve sat down and written a proper post. Recently, I’ve been deep in my book revisions–and then today I was away from my computer all day volunteering at City of Hope on behalf of Beauty Bus–so while my blog posting schedule has suffered, the ending is finally in sight: a completed first draft is within reach! I know it’ll be another couple of months before I’m truly ready to get this thing out in the world (and even then, it would still theoretically take ages for it to get published), but still…I’m excited for you all to read what I’ve been working on for so damn long!
