This weekend was...

chicks, chocolate, and Chekhov- in that order.

On the road

Me and my sis

The fabulous JKL

See, I promised you chicks!

Hint: when you go to see a Chekhov play, or for that matter any Russian drama, and they mention a "sudden loud noise" in the final act...they're just opening a big bag of chips...no they're not...

Haiku for a Working Sunday

In-N-Outlets

I am not close to my sister and I am a complete liar. Truth, my sister has been visiting from Boston for the last week and I couldn't be happier. Not only can she proudly sing any number from Follies while crossing an intersection (happened yesterday), she is insanely honest (direct quote: "Babies are so undignified"). To celebrate our reunion, we did what we always do. We went to the Gilroy outlets, ate In-N-Out, and then tried on ridiculous outfits. Oooh and yes, the dress I wore matched the In-N-Out logo. No, I did not plan it that way...I think.

Here's to reunions with fantabulous sisters. Sisters who sing in crosswalks, make fun of everything, and eat In-N-Out.

Time to Roadtrip

 For the last five years, each October, my mom and I hit the road to L.A. for a weekend of roller coasters, museums, and carbs. This year was no exception. Yes, I realize that October was a while ago (don't count how many months), but in the spirit of a belated Mother's Day, I wanted to share with you why my mom is the ultimate travel companion. 

Now, for the food portion of the trip. We have our favorite stand-bys: Europane in Pasadena, Julienne in San Marino, and of course, room service.

How adorable is she? I completely blame her for my addiction to room service. Seriously though, thanks, Sarah Jean. There is no one that I would rather laugh or travel with :)

Hello Zeitgeist

Was walking through Target the other day (like ya do) when I spotted these two hanging out together. Helloooooo zeitgeist!

Last Friday Night...

Somebody recently asked me, "Maren, what have you been up to?"

Well, last Friday night (or rather late afternoon) I went to the movies with myself and this giant peanut butter cookie. We went to see Cabin in the Woods because we heard it was good. In the theater, we were joined by:

• 3 middle aged stoners who had brought their own burritos 
• 2 60-something ladies who messed up their movie times (because fandango lied to them), missed the 155 showing of Mirror Mirror (because it doesn't exist), and got stuck with us (stoners, peanut butter cookie, horror movie masterpiece, and me)

We all had a really good time. Speaking for myself, I think I grew a lot and that is what I've been up to lately.
