Lady Dedlock is bored to death

My boyfriend and I made a fancy dinner at home and then went out for a few drinks at our favorite local pub. I only had three drinks the entire night, but my headache right now feels more like I had ten. I think I'm getting too old for this drinking thing.

I've been cleaning all day, and I wish I could convince myself to stop and relax. A friend I hadn't heard from in a long time asked me if she could come stay in my apartment for a few weeks while she's doing a clinical rotation nearby, and I've been prepping all day for her arrival. I don't know why I'm being such a

I had a similar time in my early twenties. I had never dated or kissed anyone in high school. Not long after I got to college, I had a short-lived fling with a classmate. We very briefly toyed with the idea that we might be in love, but after he had made it clear he was never going to commit to me, I pined for him for

Sounds like fun! I'm staying in the entertainment district, so that's not too far away.

Thanks for all the good ideas! Ematei is not too far from my hotel, so I'll put that on my list of things to try.

I'm heading up to Toronto for a last-minute vacation. Anyone care to point me toward sites worth visiting and/or delicious things to eat?

I've been going out less and drinking at home more. Usually wine, around $10 a bottle.

I'm spending my Friday night at home, being housewifey. I've already scrubbed the bathroom, and now I'm switching gears to make pumpkin cookies ([allrecipes.com]). I love everything pumpkin for fall.

Ooh, I'd be interested. I've been in NYC for a couple of years, but I'm still wishing I had more friends in the area.

Maybe he's quoting Winnie the Pooh?

Sounds like we have some tastes in common. I'm a fan of 30 Rock and Coupling, and The Fall is on my regular queue (it's not on instant anymore, nor is El Orfanato). Maybe I'll give Parks and Recreation a shot. Thanks!

Ooh, I just started playing around on Pottermore today, and I only have one friend! Adding you.

Yeah, that's no fun. But if you generally have a really good time with someone and they still don't call you, maybe they just suck at calling people and need a plan-making kind of friend. If someone is super awesome, I would say don't give up; if not, who needs 'em?

I want to watch something on Netflix Instant—nothing too high-brow or too low-brow, and preferably uplifting. Anyone have any recommendations?

I had similar problems when I was in college. Two things that helped me:

It's not just genetic! Some people are blessed with a naturally good singing mechanism, but if you're not, you can definitely learn. Especially since you already play cello and violin—you probably have a good ear, which really helps.

I'm a 32D, and even that is hard to find sometimes. I'm a fan of Chantelle bras. Pros: they come in a wide range of sizes, and they're comfortable. Cons: they're expensive. I only buy them when I find them on sale. I also like Betsey Johnson bras. I'm pretty sure they come in smaller band sizes, but you might have to

Haha, at least you're self-aware enough to see that dialogue for what it is!

I have similar feelings about having children—I don't understand why you have to feel sad, though! You have plenty of time to change your mind if you want to. And if you decide you don't want to, that's cool too—and probably it will be because you have plenty of other stuff to keep you busy. No sense in deciding

Yeah, what is with heels? I feel like every time I try to find a nice pair of pumps, they're all at least 4 inches high and tough to walk around in. 2-3 inches is what I go for, too.
