‘Twas the Night Before Jazz Fest

I’m going out of town for a few days, so I’d really like to leave you with something profound. Of course, nothing profound is coming to mind. I’m heading tomorrow, straight from the office, to the airport where I shall be whisked away to that magic land known as “Eat Until You Puke” (formerly known [...]

A Public Service Announcement

Whooo hooo! I am so there. And it’s actually a sunny day to enjoy it.

Words… Are… Too… Hard

I struggle and struggle and struggle, but just can’t come up with a lead to the article I’m working on. I’m never at a loss for words. So why the problem now? Ugh, frustration.

Weekend Visitors

The paternal parental unit and the sororal sibling unit descended upon Boston last Thursday. The Tweedly Twirp mostly kept me company while Peter tailed Adam around HBS like the eager beaver he is. I mean that almost literally—Peter only wears his M.I.T. class ring (only I promise, the number on his ring is nowhere near [...]

Sneaking One In

Apparently my cousin Daniella has been keeping a blog for a little while now and just neglected to mention it to me (for those who know her, this is the cousin Daniella from New Orleans). Good thing I check my referral logs every now and them. Anyway, go read her blog.

Good Gracious!

I’m only 59% snob! At least according to PBS’s snob quiz. It tells me I’m “a long way off joining the ranks of the blini-nibbling, bubbly-sipping, double-barreled brigade but then [I’m] no champion of the proletariat either.” It ends by telling me “the middle class beckons.” Sigh. Give me a chance (and a big fat [...]

The CWIT Is Mightier than the MBA

Just a quick shout-out to prove once again that there are more to us CWITs than just manicures and nannies. Our very own Carly (who I should point out is already a chemical engineer) not only got into the nation’s top-ranked education program, but they wanted her badly enough that they’ve offered her a very [...]

Adventures in CWITing

Since I’m going to be giving my life over to that of a CMIT (as coined by Adam’s sectionmates, a Corporate-Mom-in-Training), I figured it was time I sucked it up and learned how to be an HBS wife in style. And that, apparently, includes scrapbooking. Everyone talks about it, many of my friends have succumbed, [...]

No One Told Me We Lost

Now, if you were given told by your husband that you could celebrate your first wedding anniversary any way you wanted, I know you would have picked waking up at 4 a.m. to watch a re-enactment of the Battle on the Green, the battle that started the Revolutionary War, in Lexington. So you understand how [...]

Shhhh….

I figured one of the benefits of pregnancy was I’d no longer have lost weekend days because of hangovers. And it’s true. Now, instead of lying on the couch on a beautiful Sunday afternoon moaning that my head is pounding because of two too many glasses of red wine, I can lie on the couch [...]
