the grateful sparrow: May 2010
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Yesterday I made a big step toward conquering an old fear. Since I was a kid, I've sung in choirs, but I've never never. Despite all that, I LOVE music and I've always said that one thing on my life list is: Perform a solo song for an audience. And be confident about it. Get over this dang stupid fear. Last night, at our Side Work meeting (for those of you that don't know, Side Work. And it was awesome. I want to perform with the confidence and style of Jenny Lewis [source]. Not muc...

the grateful sparrow: August 2010
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. This song has gotten a lot of attention lately, but it deserves all of it. Watch how happy they are singing it! Let's all open up to even just a little bit of this exuberant joy and love. I swear it's infectious. I don't feel well today. I woke up achy and sore throat-y and stuffed up. I have to get on a plane tomorrow and start my adventure - this is inappropriate! Today I am so grateful and happy for:. The very best friends anyone could ever have. PS - Stratejoy post up!

the grateful sparrow: Holiday Recap
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2011/01/holiday-recap.html
Tuesday, January 4, 2011. My 2010 Holiday season involved. A fat cat sneaking under the covers, curling up soft next to my stomach and purring so loud I could hear it through my pillow. Quality time with one of my favorite people, my momma. All day Christmas eve cooking - homemade pierogies from my great-grandma's recipie, attempted from scratch for the very first time since she made them. Giving up on pierogi dough and resorting to wonton wrappers with homemade filling. Still delicious. Tons of sweet te...

the grateful sparrow: March 2010
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Over the weekend, the girls and I went Irish Jorts Camping. Irish as in, a late St. Patty's Day celebration, Jorts as in jean shorts (which can. Be ok but are generally pretty awful), and Camping as in we're sleeping in tents but the bathrooms are only a few feet away. Basically an excuse to dress up like idiots and drink like idiots but make it sound cool by calling it camping. Oh, yeah, and there may or may not have been fake mustaches involved as well. And a Nazi rock. Beautif...

Tuesday, January 11, 2011. I sometimes whinge and whine about being single; most of my friends are in serious relationships if not married, and I sometimes feel like The Last Single Girl (hey, that could be a good title for a movie. cast me! But you know what's awesome about being single? Especially when the date hits it out of the park. So I suggested meeting and he suggested LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Perfect. We discovered a Jerry Springer plot in a painting of a nobleman with his handm...

the grateful sparrow: July 2010
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 30, 2010. I have been chosen as a Season 3 guest writer for the brilliant website, Stratejoy. Those of you that know me in person, or those of you that have been reading this for a while, know that I've gone through a few whopping breakdowns and major life changes in the last few months. ok, years. I like to call this my Quarterlife Crisis, and it generally makes me feel like a big, bad, good-for-nothing mess of a loser. Well, guess what? I'm not as alone as I thought I was. They all knew ea...

the grateful sparrow: June 2010
http://gratefulsparrow.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. We need to talk. Oh Los Angeles, why do you taunt me so? But then you turned around and gave me that million-dollar smile of yours, with your crooked Hollywood-sign teeth, and presented me with a sunset picnic bordered by nubby-blanket mountains and no mosquitoes. You lured me with an outdoor amphitheater and well-done, real, funny. Shakespeare - you know that gets me every time! Let me go or let me love you, LA; I just can't do this friends with benefits thing anymore. Yesterday I...
