Dear besties, Somewhere deep inside of me, where my conscience and sense of right and wrong used to reside, I’m feeling a hint of reservation about writing this post. I wonder if you’ll look at me differently when I you learn how I’ve been spending my free time. All those nights I said I couldn’t [...]

IHOP, UHOP
Dear best friends forever, including, but not limited to, Libby McDonald, I often try to make up excuses for why I’m late or why I haven’t done something I should have. These excuses are rarely believed due to my inability to be both creative and convincing at the same time. So I’m not even going [...]

God’s Army vs. the Gays (or the Vermont Legislative hearings on same-sex marriage)

I blame this entirely on Town Meeting Day yesterday and the towns in Addison County that didn’t bother getting back to me with their results. Thanks for helping me make a fool of myself. Granted, I was [...]

Hurry Up and Wait
Hey boos. I’m reporting to you from the Free Press HQ, where I am picking at my split ends while waiting for town clerks to call me with Town Meeting Day info. How, you ask, can I type AND look for damage to my hair at the the same time? Because I’m freaking amazing, that’s [...]

The Ballad of Beadless Lauren
Dear besties, So far, Barry Obama has not gotten back to me on my personal shovel-ready projects. I guess he’s just really busy trying to, like, save us from backsliding into third world nationdom. Anyway, that has blink-all to do with the Magic Hat Mardi Gras parade that happened in Burlington on Saturday. While I [...]
