Musingly Incidental: April 2009
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. The Year I Broke My Dad's Heart. In the early 2000s, I made a major life change that was difficult to share with many people in my family. When I thought about it, I got a little sick to my stomach, and at times a bit panicky. The one person I knew this "life change" would damage the most was my Dad. I had to come clean – I had become a Cubs fan. One day, it hit me – I’m a Cubs fan now. Dad: “Don’t tell me you’re finally rooting for those Cubbies, Erin.”. Links to this post. For I...

Musingly Incidental: Midwestern Spring Madness
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009/02/midwestern-spring-madness.html
Friday, February 6, 2009. Here's something I find hilarious and sad all at once:. If you live in the Midwest- particularly further north- when it reaches 38 degrees you want to go outside armed with nothing but a light-weight coat and no gloves. Pu-SHAW to that down coat, hat, scarf, leggings, thermal somethings, etc. You're pounds lighter because you're wearing 10 pounds less of outdoor gear. You may have the sudden urge to skip or frolic, and you're certainly feeling more energetic and happy. I plan to...

Musingly Incidental: February 2009
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Spoiled Meat and Mixed Signals. I got crabs on V.D. No, I didn't contract an STD. It just occurred to me I have yet to blog about my Valentine's Day experience, so let me have at it. First, there's the disclaimer: No matter how much I tout myself as the anti-girl, I am a GIRL. I love romance when it's not overdone, I crave attention when it's for something positive, and I want to cuddle until I get a back ache and have to roll out of the embrace to fall asleep. We went to the...

Musingly Incidental: Not Another Quarter Life Crisis or: How I Learned to Stop Ruminating and Love the Tarot
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009/03/not-another-quarter-life-crisis-or-how.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. Not Another Quarter Life Crisis or: How I Learned to Stop Ruminating and Love the Tarot. I had the quarter-life crisis in my mid-twenties. The "Where am I going? Did I pick the right major in college? I should have moved to LA or NY. Why am I not I writing for VOGUE/Elle/Nylon? I should have taken that internship junior year. I am mortal. I'm going to kick the bucket one day. Why am I unhappy in this relationship? Why have I settled for so many years? Where am I going? I also chos...

Musingly Incidental: December 2008
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. I'm New to Blogging Proper-Like. This would have been a proper first entry, but I'm not really known to follow all rules. Plus, three is my lucky number, so why not just do it up on a third entry? There HAD to be a way to bring it all to fruition, without shoving it down some unwilling's throat. So "Musingly Incidental" is my random potpourri of said observances. You never know what you're going to get - hello excitement! Leave a comment, good or bad. Here's to blogging.

Musingly Incidental: A Most Peculiar Collaboration
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009/02/most-peculiar-collaboration.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2009. A Most Peculiar Collaboration. I saw the strangest mural on Damen last night, near the North Avenue intersection. The colorful piece, which probably measured at least 12'x12' in dimension, hung proudly on the side of a to-be-unnamed southern-style, fast food, fried chicken chain. Or franchise. Whatever. The point is, the mural's content includes two men sprinkling spices and ingredients in to a giant bubbling crock. Mouths are watering, right? Is this part of their branding?

Musingly Incidental: Mommy, I Want it
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009/03/mommy-i-want-it.html
Friday, March 20, 2009. Mommy, I Want it. I know we're in a re/pression. I realize that material goods and overall consumption right now is bad, bad, bad. I remind myself of this each time I find my way to various online sites (most recently Rue La La). But a new product was brought to my attention today that I just have to have. Phil sent me a text that read "The New Volvo C70 T5 is tight! Being the car fan that I am, I immediately Googled it:. It is amazing and glorious and WOW do I want it so badly!

Musingly Incidental: The Marathon Date
http://musinglyincidental.blogspot.com/2009/02/marathon-date.html
Thursday, February 5, 2009. We cook at home, all the time. And order movies on demand, and watch "It's Always Sunny" reruns to the point of ridiculousness. We LOVE to frequent the beach from May through that last great weekend of September. I'm not a high-maintenance chick, but there does come a point when a girl's gotta go out with her fella and have a good time. Enter The Marathon Date. And that wasn't sarcasm, because I totally. The Marathon Date, in summary:. Our first stop out of the subway was at N...
