My Massage Therapist Used to be My Heroine
by Laura Yesterday I finally used the Massage Envy gift certificate I got for Christmas (thanks, hubby!) You know my life has become a bit crazy when I don’t have an hour to get a back rub, which I normally try to justify as a medical necessity. Luckily, although I had originally intended to use my [...]

Destination: Durham
by Laura Last night, I stumbled across an article that numerous friends had forwarded on just after we decided to move to Chapel Hill – the New York Times take on exploring the Triangle area in 36 hours or less.

Called up to The Varsity
By Harold The Varsity Theatre had been operating for 83 years in the middle of downtown Chapel Hill… until it closed this spring. And this summer when I told anyone who had ever set foot in Chapel Hill that The Varsity closed, I would get a look back like I just said someone they knew [...]

Wal-mart… do they like make walls there?
by Laura Today I went to the mall. I have not actually shopped at a mall in years. In New York you do this thing called running around to different boutique stores across the city, which is supposed to make you feel more exclusive and special.

West Side Story
by Laura I recently got my hair chopped off at Moshi Moshi, a cute salon on West Franklin Street.
