I’m a 24 year old Midwestern transplant, Wisconsin born and raised. Now I live, work and play in Los Angeles, where some of the nations supposedly most successful minds can’t figure out how to tie their own shoes, get their own coffee or cross th

I’m feeling very rested
Today was my only day off after ten consecutive 8-12 hour work days and I: *Cleaned the bathroon *Washed, dried, folded and put away five loads of laundry *Went to the gym *Organized holiday travel plans *Cleaned the kitchen *Renewed our lease for si...
Yet another situation where something not making sense makes me look insane
The other day a friend asked me, “If you had to jump off of a bridge, would you do it?” “No.” “But you have to.” “No I don’t.” “The question says you have to.” “There is no sit...
Trying to enjoy the nature
We took the dogs outside for a brief play time in the snow this morning, a move I thought would be met with extreme opposition, dog legs flying in eighteen different directions, and lots of crying. But the pups tolerated it and actually, I think, h...
On where I’ve been the past six months and a plan to re-hit blogland like a mother-fucking hurricane
There really is no perfect place to begin the explanation of where I’ve been the past, I don’t know, six months. I could conjure up a ridiculously frivolous and far more exciting story than the one I’m about to tell. Instead I&#...

Today I had to help a transvestite try on pants. ...

My week

I dont know what I did to deserve this but I promise–I will never, ever do it again. Just please bring back Fall. PLEASE, I will settle for 50 degrees! ...
Refreshing
Sometimes you just need a week with your friends to refocus your priorities and reinforce what is—and what is not–important, to not only remind yourself that your real-life problems really aren’t that bad at all; that, yes, true friends do ...
To satisfy my neurotic organizational habits
I know this has already been used as a guest blog for Bodelou’s blog. And I’m not trying to force-feed you regurgitated blog posts but I need to post it here, again, to ensure adequate filing in Karlie’s Neurotic Blogging Time L...
My friends-they’re so hot right now
No, seriously. It was like 90 degrees inside the bathroom of the Loring Pasta Bar-the scene of our mini photo shoot. Yes, I did just type ‘bathroom’, and no, the fact that we asked a total stranger to photograph us inside of it doesn&...
I’m in the prime of my life-a guest post by WildARSchase
As a birthday gift, my long time blog-boyfriend Andy, from over at WildARSchase, offered to guest post for me today as I try to come to terms with the fact that I was in bed by midnight on my 25th birthday. As I read this I am fighting back tears a...
“Apart” of the process (and why I hate everyone)
I had a job interview this morning for a position I normally wouldn’t even consider, but given the current job market it appears I have no choice. I opened up the company file which included a job description and key characteristics desired f...
A sign; I’m on a boat; why cheese will kill me, and fifteen year old girls
If it looks like a trail, and it smells like a trail, it probably…isn’t a trail? We attended the Boyfriend’s family reunion on Saturday, where we went on a boat (fun) in record low July temperatures of 65 degrees (hard on the nipple...
Please don’t climb on the sculptures
*My original intent was to showcase the Best Of yesterday’s photo shoot at the Walker Art Center. Along the way I got a tad bit sentimental and would first like to clarify a few things for my close friends out there who I know will be curious...

Flashback Fri…Saturday? Eh, whatever (And a poll)
I forgot to post this on Friday because I was super busy pretending to be busy but actually doing nothing, but I’m pretty sure that no one even noticed. So! Fun times! I don’t care if you read this entry, but please take a moment to fill ...
The weekend, in photos
My younger sister graduated high school this past Friday, which really is just another bullet point in the litany of Reasons to Feel Old. But, according to my mom, I’m no longer allowed to talk about feeling old because that makes her feel ...
Monday in the rear view
Woke up. Dogs whined to go outside. Resented dogs. Reminded myself I don’t think I want children. Pretended to be asleep; hoped Nate would walk dogs instead. He did. Felt glad. Felt guilty. Fed dogs. Apologized for having fake...
Flashback Friday: Reason 571 that God hates me (and then some other stuff)
Today’s Flashback Friday post is pretty lame but if you’re anything like me you’re totally hung over right now and will appreciate the lack of thought required to understand this entry. I’m joking. Or am I? THE MYSTERY IS ...
This must be what it feels like to be famous
I’m late! Late with the May masthead and monthly update, that is. Better late than never, right? Lately I just haven’t been too excited about the monthly masthead change. Since leaving Los Angeles I’ve had to steal the images (i...
Flashback Friday: Why is this prison guy talking to me?
I originally began this blog to document the life and times of a Midwestern girl who impulsively moved to Los Angeles. As such, I am going to start “Flashback Friday” where I will feature an old post and original photo, presumably about...
It’s not “convenient.” It’s “normal” (and you’re an idiot).
I’ve been out of a full-time job for about a week and excelled at improving my “mega-bitch” behavior, in record time. I’ve immersed myself in the job search and I’ll be honest: It’s about as much fun as pul...
Trees, they’re so hot right now
Ari has been accumulating tree real estate (trealestate) faster than our country’s home values have plummeted. He’s smart-it’s a great time to buy. ...
Nature gets a hard-on
Minneapolis has apprehensively begun to entertain the notion of “Spring” as an attainable goal; and the local greenery has started to crawl out from beneath its post-winter shell. But so help me God, nature, MAKE ME PROUD. ...
A short Friday antidote
I sat there watching as the water spilled over the edge of the toilet, washing away my last glimmer of hope for a peaceful end to an already refuse-filled Friday. In that moment I silently wished that the mother of the hooligans found launching bottl...
Go ahead. Crucify me.
Sex. Youz have probably ‘eard the word out there. And some of you ‘probly know what it meanz. For those of you who don’t, it means “bonin’”. -Ali G, Sex Education The amount of sex in my life as of late has bee...
Now, about those walls..
Sometimes its easy for me to get overwhelmed by the far too many hours a week I spend working and the lack of time spent making far more productive life choices like snorting ecstasy and having unprotected group sex in the back of minivans. (Hi, Dad!...
I did absolutely nothing this weekend so I thought I’d blog about it
By the time happy hour hit on Friday I was ready for a weekend of relaxation. My plans were foiled when very early Saturday morning (WAY earlier than anyone should ever awake on a Saturday) I woke to a flu-like sickness. I have literally spent ever...
I’m feeling much better today..
..this helps: It’s amazing how much more relaxed I am now that I finally sifted through my thoughts. Boyfriend, because he knows how much I enjoy just driving around, insisted we go on a drive to explore and ” help me find things to lo...
