Gah!! Sorry for that but huge congrats on the 'thon.

RAGE at the lack of real-world usefulness of a lot of sports bra design. It boggles the mind (not to mention the breasts) that NONE of the major sports apparel manufacturers make a supportive seamless sports bra. Seams + sweat + prolonged activity = chafing = immense pain = permanent scarring. Thatz not okay.

Tonight's Burberry coat was BEYOND. Can you say Providence?!

Oh my god - Scandal Pinterest includes designer creds. I have fallen into a Scandal fashion white (draped, pleated, tailored) hole.

My inner fashionista loves you for posting this but NOT my boss or closet. There goes my productivity/satisfaction with current wardrobe.

She's the new Miranda Priestly. I could live or die by her facial dis/approval.

Lazy AND busy? You must be a poor! Pick yourself up by your bootstraps already and make a million dollars, sheesh.

Whoa, too much. I over-helped a friend through a divorce recently and it took a toll - you have to take care of yourself too, you know? Plus he has to develop tools to get through things on his own so he can heal.

HA! In summary - maybe it's time to change your Ultimate Career Goal...??

Yeah, location is such a status symbol in NYC. I think it's weird how people relate to me differently sometimes since I moved to Manhattan from Brooklyn... But don't fall into the trap of "BK is more legit than MNH" - where I live in the Village is far more diverse than when I lived in Williamsburg. Park Slope Co-op…

I can't unsee that. Just... GAH.

Saving for retirement feels like one huge gamble. None of us knows how long we have. How do you balance living the experiences you want to have now with saving for days that may never come? Or what if your savings tanks in another crash? Do I take that trip now while I'm young and mobile and can stay out all night and…

First time I've seen marshmallow study and yes, the same. My parents didn't saved and often lived outside their inconsistent means; I find it a struggle not to do the same.

I really like your post and identified with a lot, even being about 10 yrs older than you (some habits die hard?). Especially like this line: "or if more simply I was caught in that trip of stubbornness and desperate desire for self-affirmation that everybody seems to be on."

Right?! There's a lot of constant "proving," or what a favorite author of mine calls "success theater." It basically like living your Facebook feed persona all the time.
