If there was any country in the world I could consider as a second home, Mexico would certainly be it. Visiting Puebla and Cholula marks my 9th time in Mexico, and I am enjoying discovering the new cities immensely.
When people think about Mexico, they immediately think Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, or Acapulco. There’s that ideal of sipping margaritas on the beach, eating nachos, and...

Today has been a really good day!
reasons:
-I decided to download “angry birds” on my iphone on the recommendation of my tech literate extended family. I don’t understand how such a stupid game could be so damn addicting, there is some serious dark arts shit going on because I’m hooked.
-I finally finished chirstmas shopping! I didn’t think it was going to be possible, yet i defied the odds and got...
So, after figuring out that my body is having a heck of a time time regulating itself these days, I’ve realized that many of the problems I’d been struggling with last term make a lot more sense. This includes anxiety attacks, my hair falling out at an astonishing rate (I was a human labrador), being cold all the time, a racing heartbeat, extreme thirst, feeling mentally slow and not...
Talking to my mother about men late at night has proven to be the highlight of my epically long (and somewhat disastrous) day.
“Would you buy the first pair of shoes you ever tried on? I think not.”
thanks mom, ha.
Also, I had the worlds craziest dream last night. It involved trains, losing teeth and transferring back to the University of Iowa. Since I usually don’t remember...

I kinda feel this way right now. Today was a big day of “meh”, which will most likely be followed be another “meh” day. Tomorrow: horrifying doctors appointment far too early in the morning followed by 12 hours...

MEREDITH VIERA: So how did you find out about your nomination?
JAMES FRANCO: Barry at Fox Searchlight texted me. He's my text message friend, we send each other photos of fat animals.
VIERA: Okay...
I spoke too soon. What I said didn’t matter does bother me a bit. oops?

Bored? Stressed? Watching so much TV you feel dizzy? Here’s my list of things that might put some pep in your step:
1) Spend the entire afternoon in a coffee shop doing something that de-stresses you. Sketch, read a book for pleasure, do a crossword puzzle, write a poem, dare yourself to drink 5 cups of coffee…whatever floats your boat.
2) Go to a co-op or another local health foods store...
Dear Karma,
Okay, I totally get it. Your Karma train has left the station and I am 5 minutes too late. I get what I deserve, I fess up, I get it…really I do. But this? Come on now! I mean, enough is enough. Plus, I’m really tired and I’ve been trying real hard lately, I swear. So maybe, you could give a little bit back? I know, I have a great life. Fabulous friends, a fairly...
