I Can’t Make It Rain, But I Can Make Money Disappear
My personal interior-decorator-for-life XFE and I spent the weekend doing lots of really glamorous stuff, including shopping for new toilet seat lids and a trash can for the new house. What we didn’t realize is that we would need to get a bank loan before making these types of everyday home purchases. First off, toilet…

Totally Pretentious Food Truck Review: Surfside
Hey, you know what we haven’t done in a really long time? A Totally Pretentious Food Truck Review! (read previous TPFTRs here) It’s not a secret that I can’t pass up a taco.

The Ups and Downs of Bachelorette Dining in New York
I still have a few more Australia posts to write (nope, not letting go of vacation), but I did want to talk about this past weekend’s trip to New York and specifically the food before I forget it all in a work-and-life-in-general-induced haze. Lucky Cheng’s not surprisingly, was not very good on the food front.…

You Fancy, Huh? Review of Thai Airlines First Class Service
Just in case you were wondering: first class on Thai Airways does not suck. No, actually, I’m even willing to go a step further and say it’s quite nice. Alright, alright, the truth is it was fantastic. Un-freaking-believable. Oh, and for the record, in general, (and I say this with some expertise now) the first…
