Dear Universe,
Got the message — thanks for making it crystal clear. Off to enjoy a bike ride. Hope you're doing well. Love and smooches, L PS — thanks for the awesome friends, and for inventing a good dirty martini.

Ah, the Joys of Homeownership
I noticed yesterday that my fridge didn’t seem to be keeping cold — my ice wasn’t freezing, and it generally seemed out of sorts. I turned up the thermostat, unplugged and replugged, but to no avail. I suddenly realized that it is entirely my problem — I may have to buy a new fridge. Welcome

Three Day Weekend
Just got back into town from a long weekend at the beach. Today was not the best beach day, but I took advantage of the relative coolness to go on a long run. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the longest I've ever run — over 6 miles. Now I've just got to do

Positive Reinforcement
It’s been a rough week on several fronts, but there have been some bright moments as well. I’ve gone running a few times before work (not every day, but a few times), and I always get a cheery "I’m so proud of you, Laren!" from my doorman, Pat, before and after my runs. I always
