When I first heard of Bari, I thought people were talking about a certain type of Barre class. Actually no. Bari is named after an indigenous tribe in Venezuela that embodies a family like community-centric culture. When you become part of Bari, you understand what I am talking about. It is a family in the truest sense. I really had no… Read More
First and foremost a few notes about Homeland: 1. I know I am going to hell but they really need to do something about Frannie. I can’t bear to watch..Couldn’t they have found a cuter baby? Ugh. 2.

If you have been to Morristown and walked around, I am positive you have walked by the historic Vail Mansion. Personally, I have walked by Vail Mansion numerous times but because it is set back so far from the street I never really paid much attention to it. That is until I heard it was becoming a restaurant. Chris Cannon, a… Read More
SPOILER ALERT!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DID NOT WATCH EPISODE 8 A note about Homeland…Quinn is my Romeo. Speaking of Romeo, it was very interesting that The Affair opened up with Noah (from his point of view) discussing “Romeo and Juliet”, the forbidden love affair. How ironic. Noah focuses on how Romeo and Juliet was a comedy and… Read More
Everybody needs a vacation once and awhile to get away from all of the madness of our hectic life. Sometimes my vacations include me locking myself in the bathroom for 20 minutes with a book. Sometimes my vacations are simply my weekly 30 minute blowouts. These 20, 30, hour minute vacations are necessary for me to be a somewhat sane… Read More
I was out to dinner last week with a bunch of friends and we were all bullshitting. Typical Saturday night recap. How was your week? What’s new? Me asking: Have you started watching The Affair? Transparent? What book are you reading? blah blah. A friend of mine mentioned a podcast he was listening to that he thinks I will love…. Read More

One of my favorite blogs of the year I write is my holiday gift guide. I am always looking for gifts that are new, unique, and useful. I think the worst gift is when someone buys you a gift that you know you will NEVER EVER use but you feel so bad telling them you store it in a drawer… Read More
*SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED EPISODE 7! A note on Homeland…I was on the edge of my seat the entire show until the last 3 minutes when we see the Taliban’s plan to take the embassy. It seems a little far-fetched that you can use bull cutters to break into the U.S. Embassy and just… Read More
First and Foremost ** SPOILER ALERT. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED YET! Second…LET’S DISCUSS!!!! You know I love to write things in bullet points. I find it easier and also a great way when you comment to refer back to the bullet you are dishing about. 1. The show always starts off with highlights from the… Read More
So I made it. (Read part one if you have no idea what I am talking about) I parked the car, grabbed my bag and walked through security. The guard told me that jury duty was upstairs. I walked the flight of stairs and turned to see over eighty people in line. My first thought was ugh, I definitely could… Read More
It is 2:48am. The house is pitch quiet. Once again I have to pee but I am scared to get out of bed because if I wake the dog all hell breaks loose. These are my thoughts: 1. I know I should not say this out loud because it is definitely going to come back and bite me in the… Read More
The dreaded slip came in the mail two months ago. I looked at it, sighed and said, “oh fuck” out loud. Jury Duty. You know that feeling right? Nobody wants to go. Admit it. My issue was the date they requested was the date I was leaving for Napa. I quickly sent the form back asking for a postponement. Little… Read More
I was going to discuss Homeland but truthfully, what are we going to discuss? That Carrie is fully of the rails, bringing Brody back for a mere second made me realize how much I miss him and poor Saul? Okay we discussed it. Let’s discuss The Affair because at least it’s so much more fun to take apart. What did… Read More
