Vanderpump Rules, Season 4, Ep. 1: Decade Party For Douchebags!
Welcome to the season 4 premiere of Vanderpump Rules, a reality TV show about the most vapid, shallow, and useless people in America! Just a few lil’ #PumpRules facts about me: Even though I’m a self-avowed Bravo Super Fan, I haven’t recapped Vanderpump Rules on the blog yet, mostly because, up until last season, I haaaated this […]

Mondays: The Start of Something New
It always takes me so long to get going on mornings like this. I always have this vision of myself slipping into the shower and then miraculously gliding out to my laptop with a great outfit on and hair and makeup all done up, breakfast waiting for me on the table, etc, and all of […]

Halloween costume round-up, because I haven’t gotten married or died yet and thus haven’t gotten to have an amazing slideshow of my most adorable baby and childhood moments, so I get to make up for it by doing stuff like this.
If you know me at all or have ever read this blog, then you know that I love Halloween. And I especially love Halloween costumes. My favorites are always the play-on-words, mainly because they’re clever, cheap, and easy. Like me. But first, let’s take it back to a time when I was super adorable: I […]

{Prehistoric Amber} Corn Night
Growing up in Red Wing, Minnesota, the night before Halloween was both a rite of passage and a tradition. It was enough to cause shrieks of revelry from The Youngs, paranoia from The Olds, and furious fist-shaking + threats of death from the elderly. It ’twas… Corn Night. Never heard of it? That’s okay; you’re […]

If I ever become a ghost, I already know where my haunting place is going to be. I just hope Topher Grace’s shower isn’t too mildewy.
So I just finished reading Redirt’s new post about ghosts. Every once in a while I’ve considered posting some stuff on here about that, but I don’t like being called crazy. However, since Redirt already took the plunge and started talking about it, and since it’s near Halloween, I thought I might share some of my own […]

“Do What You Love”, They Said. Wanna Know What I Love? Talking about Me.
Jus’ a lil’ update: Last week I went on a much anticipated week-long vaca to Maine. I’ll probably write up another post telling you all about it, but it was a super great trip with my family that we’ll never forget. What it wasn’t was a ton of great writing time…why do I always think […]

Gettin’ Off The Fail Train.
Listening To: High By The Beach by Lana Del Ray Failure has a function. It asks you if you want to keep going on making things. – Clive James It was early. My coffee was…not great, admittedly, but hot. After a weirdly intimate and mostly sleepless night on the train, I finally gave up the […]

This Blogger Was Forced To Re-Think Her Idea Due To Posting on the Internet Too Much. You Will Totally Believe What Happens Next.
Yesterday I wrote this on my Facebook wall: These last couple months I’ve been working super hard on getting this Amber Colored Life book done. As I suspected (because it also happened with the last three books), this “so easy, I’ll have it done in a flash!” project turned into a monster, mostly because I’ve […]

Giving It Up.
What are you willing to give up to have what you really want? It was late. Sitting at the dining room table on Wednesday night, working hard on this book, my ears perked up when I heard Elizabeth Gilbert tell Pete Holmes this searingly important question she was once asked by an older writer. She […]
