Lunch date in New York

Armed with tissue boxes, and little packs of Vitamin C powder to spike my water with, Uzma, BIL and I hit the road and headed for New York on Sunday. Since every sneeze felt like a near explosion of mucus and brain matter, I went back to wrapping my hair for the trip. I met [...]

Sick day

I woke up this morning with a full-blown cold — a sore throat, headache and throbbing sinuses. I was feeling so suddenly under the weather that as much as I enjoy going to the dentist (yes, I’m one of those people) I had to cancel my appointment this morning because I couldn’t be sure that [...]

Comfy-casual at the movies

The Boss and I went to the movies with some friends on Friday, and since it was in the low 20s, I bundled up enough to survive the short walks we’d have to do outside: apartment to car, car to theater, theater to car, and car back to apartment — mammoth jacket I wore during [...]

Even though I had a headache the whole day, being with family (albeit my family through marriage) was a nice reminder [...]

Game Day threads

Some of you may remember my Lakers game day uniform (and snacks!) from last season, but this year, I’m working with something new (don’t worry last season’s “jersey” is still in the rotation!)  As a little sister, I’m not unfamiliar with (nor would I ever object to) hand-me-downs, which is why I was so happy [...]
