It's my party
Because today (and this week in general) is super stressful and annoying, I feel like sharing a list of things that really make me nuts. I realize this list is probably on lots of other people’s lists of things that annoy them, but it’s my blog and I can write what I wanna write. While pouting.
The Things That Annoy Me:
- People that put their windshield wipers up when it’s...
I have currently logged 5,105.25 hours at my job.
I find that to be remarkable. Time has gone way too fast lately.
Also, this is why I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks.

Chris: Was this saved in auto draft from anny #3?
Workout-induced Headaches
I have a super annoying chronic issue that I cannot figure out for the life of me. I’m hoping one of ya’ll might have some insight.
When I work out hard I get really awful headaches. It’s happened forever- I can remember suffering through a whole day of school after running the mile in eigth grade (how awful was it that they would make us do that during the school day?) and many...
Cookies for Heroes
I know I talk about my workplace a lot, but I really do try to keep client-specific work out of the mix. Our work for Girl Scouts of Connecticut, however, is way too cool (and important!) for me not to share.
Our campaign this year focuses on buying Girl Scout Cookies for our military troops at home and overseas (support the Scouts without bringing home the cookies). Today we launched a website,...
Watchgasp-shock:
Vivian Meier was a Chicago nanny who took more than 100,000 photos she never shared.
Her work is remarkable. What happened to the photos after her… even more so.
I’ll be taking in the exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center just as soon as I am able.
Really just incredible.
A Grocery Store in Downtown Hartford →
No seriously. It’s really happening. It may only be open until 7 pm, but it’s definitely a start, right?!
(for all you non-Connecticut people… yes, there really are currently zero grocery stores in Hartford. And all the bodega’s only carry whole milk and junk food… and people wonder why the childhood obesity rate is so high in Hartford, and why no one will move...
Sunday!
Sunday was for brunch. During a wine-induced reflection of our favorite breakfast spots on Saturday night, Chris realized that we still hadn’t tried the hardcore Irish pub down the street, The Half Door, for brunch yet despite stellar reviews. So at 10:00 am on Saturday we made the trek to Hartford.
Fantastic idea on Chris’ part. The Half Door is run by the same masterminds behind...
Saturday!
This weekend was for food. Lots of food. Saturday night Chris volunteered to make his famous pizza, so we decided not to be selfish and invited our friends Tim and Laurel over to join us. I made the appetizers but they were lame (bread bowl! spinach dip! cheese! original, I know) so I didn’t take any pictures.
Chef Christopher whipped up a pepperoni pie with peppers and onions as well as a...
WatchMiles was pooped after a long walk in snow 2x his height. So I thought it’d be a great time to introduce him to video chat.
Entertaining game of the day: make videos of your dog and then watch your dog watch himself. So confused,

I NEED YOUR HELP
What is your most favorite post ever on MegBurns.com? You don’t have to link to it, but can you think of one or two topics or anything off of the top of your head?
So very much appreciated…
Rules for the Kitchen: Things I wish someone told...
Groceries are expensive. But they will ALWAYS be cheaper then eating out. (always. no exceptions. trust me.)
If you don’t plan ahead, you will throw away most of what you buy each week.
No matter how high quality your nonstick cookware is, it WILL get scratched to hell if you use metal utensils.
Never microwave anything tomato-based in plastic. Your Gladware will forever be stained...
Happy New Year!
It’s crazy that I’ve had this blog long enough to remember last year’s new years post.
I was supposed to go to a quiet dinner with Regan, but last minute I got an opportunity to waitress in NYC for some serious cash.
So instead of a quiet dinner, I spent the day in NYC with Michelle and then proceeded to have the most bizarre, creepy, crazy, fun, shady, spontaneous, chaotic New...
