Just 4 books? Sheesh…well, #1 is easy. 1. The Picture of Dorian Gray. This book is oddly enough my lifesaver in understanding the pits of darkness that one can fall into. It has made me understand things to the nth degree, and has helped me make decisions that were once difficult to make because I…
My Inside Hockey correspondent and partner-in-crime, Winter Adams, came down to New York City a few weekends ago to do nothing more than sort through vintage and thrift store finds and eat cupcakes. No really…she was eating cupcakes (not me). Lucky for me, Winter is absolutely beautiful (and a model), so I was able to do something…
6. HOME. Home is where the heart is. I’ve spent so much time putting my home together, designing it, then re-designing it…that I can’t help but feel HOME when I am HOME. When I first started off in my current apartment, I had NO FURNITURE, except for my mattresses, a couple of storage cabinets, some…
7. Ben Barnes. Need I say more? 6. The purses that will one day grace my closet… 5. Christian Louboutin Nude Kitty Heels. 4. New Jersey Devils 2012 Stanley Cup Champions. [After all, it is my final year covering hockey as a hockey writer.] 3. Well, the dress kind of says it all, right? 2. My…
This is Day 3 of the blog challenge. Today is all about my 8 fears (in no real particular order)… 8. Snakes. I hate them. They scare the crap out of me. We spent a couple of years in Georgia back when I was a kid and survival 101 in the Blue Ridge Mountains…know how…
Today’s challenge is all about the 9 Loves you have. Here are mine… 9. Willy Wonka Candies. Want to put a smile on my face? Give me Willy Wonka candies and I will be the happiest person on the planet. SweeTarts, Nerds, Runts, Laffy Taffy, pixy stixs…if it’s Wonka…it makes me super happy! 8. Valentino. There…
It’s come to the attention of the Hockey Wives Club that there’s a new blogger purporting to be a hockey wife from the New York Rangers. “She” decided to blog thanks to the “Hockey Wives Club” post. Interestingly enough, the bio reads like it came directly from the actual post I wrote…as well as what you…
A few of the blogging hockey wives decided to start a blog challenge where over the course of the next 10 days, they post up 10 different things about themselves that you may or may not know about them. I thought it was fun, so I thought I’d tag along for the challenge. Here are…
It’s been a while since I posted a musing, so I thought I’d do something non-hockey related because I’ve been musing a lot about non-hockey related things. 1. Name: Ben Barnes. Is it humanly possible for a man to get any better friggin looking? You may know this man as Prince Caspian from the Chronicles…
It’s been almost 2 years since I allowed myself to sit in front of a camera. I decided that it was long overdue…so I took about 1000 pictures today. You read that correctly 1000 pictures…and I took them all. No, I don’t hold the camera. I program the camera to take the shots for me. …
Ah…the off-season. What a great time for hockey players (or agents) to get themselves into some trouble. Here’s what happened in case you missed it… 1. Mike Richards Is Not a Happy Camper. Last week, Philadelphia Flyers Captain Mike Richards was traded to the LA Kings. In exchange, the Flyers received prospect Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds…
Just a quick note to all…you may notice that the way I’m doing things here has changed since my writing season has begun. Usually the best dressed list comes out right about now (which will…), but even the way the best dressed list is done this year is going to be very different. In the…
Our worth in the world has always been tied to our looks…not the amazing miracle of mere existence. – Courtney E. Martin I picked up a copy of Geneen Roth’s “Women Food and God” from the library the other day. She referenced this book so much in another book I just completed reading: “Lost and Found.” I thought I’d give…
I’m currently reading “Lost and Found” by Geneen Roth. She was a victim of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. When I first noticed her story, it was in O magazine. She had selected a poem called “Kindness” by Naomi Shihab Nye for Caroline Kennedy’s guest editorial tribute to poetry to celebrate her book “She Walks In Beauty”…
I was just telling someone the story of when my ex-boyfriend (someone 30 years older than me) popped the question the first time. I found out on Xmas Eve that he had cheated on me with a mutual friend of ours. I blew up. I had never been so mad in my life. The next…
I just came across this on Twitter. I agree with the majority of the 5 Things You Should Know Before Dating a Journalist. But I may add that for some HOCKEY writers, it doesn’t all apply. So let me add… 1. Like hockey players, when we’re not at the game, we usually don’t watch hockey…
News came out the other day that Stan Mikita has oral cancer. It made me think of the first time I met the former Chicago Blackhawk. It was in Las Vegas in this huge suite at the Palms. The first time I saw him, I thought this was one pretty cool old guy. You can’t help…
I’m just going to share a few Harold Camping post-5/21 stories. First are the stories from those believers: In New York, retired transportation agency worker Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent “over $140,000 of his savings on subway posters and outdoor advertisements,” stood in Times Square at 6 p.m., Reuters reports. When the hour came and went,…
Apparently it wasn’t the end of the world as we know it on 5/21. And I feel fine about that. Why? Because I’ve been saying since I found out about this 5/21 bullshit that there was a false prophet in our midst. Judgment Day is coming? The return of Jesus Christ? All I’m going to…
So I have a confession. This whole extreme couponing adventure really makes me happy. This week, I’ve been putting this whole couponing thing to a test. Can I really get a whole bunch of stuff for practically nothing? Apparently, I can. Armed with the current Rite Aid flyer, coupons from the Sunday’s newspaper, and my Wellness…
