Pinterest Projects: I’m a wino.
Wow almost two months and no posts!? Sheesh. I apologize. But hey, I’m back. And with yet another Pinterest Project! Wine cork coasters. These things are everywhere, aren’t they?

Pinterest Projects: chalk it up to being AWESOME.
I’m full of bad puns. You’ll soon realize that, and you’ll also soon realize why that subject is a pun at all. Anyway, here’s my third “Pinterest Project” post on textdrivebys.com. I don’t mind being known as the crafty chick, but I really should start writing about other stuff, huh? Haha. It seems as if...
Girls – Not too white for me.
One night last month, I decided to watch an episode of Girls. That turned into 4 episodes and the next night I finished Season 1. I thought it was funny and poked fun at being female in today’s crazy society. The show is weird, awkward and selfish. I talked about how great the show was...

The Weeknd – The Trilogy
I first heard The Weeknd some weekends ago on Pandora when he was featured on a song. I thought his voice was smooth and I enjoyed the explicit lyrics so I opened a new station with his name. I caught myself bobbin’ my head to pretty much all of his songs. I googled the...
My heart hurts.
Anyone who knows me knows that New York is everything to me. New York is my blood, my life, my heart. Another member of my family. New York is the place where everything good that has ever happened to me has happened; my first internship at the Met, my college experience, Central Park hangouts with...
Pinterest Projects: Sharpie magic.
Well, I’m back. And with another Pinterest Project! I’m sitting here waiting for Hurricane Sandy to wreak havoc on my life, so what else is there to do? Besides, my first one went over so well, I decided I’d post something else that I ripped off from Pinterest. ‘Ripped off’ is a bad way of...
The wisdom of Don Draper.
By now, most people are aware of Mad Men. If they aren’t obsessed with it, then they at least watch it, and if they don’t watch it (blasphemy!) then they know it exists. But just in case you live under a rock: Mad Men is a television show on AMC based on the “Mad Men”...
Justin Timberlake Ties The Knot. [...sadly, not with me.]
Cries around the world from girl, like myself, that followed a man with the voice like velvity butter on hot toast, were heard, and loudly. The man that was followed through his Mickey Mouse Club years, his N’Sync years, his Britney Spears years…and all the other woman that he dated; years…FINALLY MARRIED. I’m sad to...
Flex Your Voting Muscles!
Unless you have been living under a rock and don’t frequent the internet and social networks at all, you’ve heard about the second Presidential Debate that was televised on Tuesday, October 16th. Even if you didn’t watch, your time lines and feeds were probably flooded with heated opinions from all ends of the right and...
On how not to judge others.
From the time I was small, I was taught not to judge others. Especially not to negatively judge them, and especially not for reasons either out of their control or that made them different. I was raised to be open minded, never to look at someone and deem them unimportant or unworthy of my time...
