Where's Walletdo?
Marni’s World:
In early March, when I was in the depths of a shingles and robotussin induced haze, I took an ill-fated jaunt outside to fetch myself some orange juice. When I returned from my trip, I had lost my wallet. I feared it was lost forever, but today it returned home from an incredible journey. Here is what I think it saw while it was gone: 1. Amelia Earhart 2. All my right...

What I Talk About When I Talk About Trying to Run
I am currently on week 5 of my “Couch to 5K” program. “Couch to 5K” is for lazy bones like myself who saw Hunger Games, realized that they would die two seconds in, and decided to make some life changes. And as learning how to shoot an arrow at a squirrel seemed like it would be frowned upon in Manhattan, I decided to try my hand (foot?) at running. I had a lot of ideas...

First Nice Day
Marni’s World:
I love this iced coffee. I love not wearing a coat. I love my spring dress. I love the sunshine. I love the light breeze. I love the blue skies. I love this song. I love this other song too. I love that corgi over there. I love these daffodils over here. I love Washington Square Park. I love the weirdos on that bench. I love New York. I love you. I love everyone. Did I...

Let's do the Shingle JIngle!
Marni’s World: I am finally on the mend after a nasty and unsightly bout of shingles. During the depths of my shingledom, I did some in-depth WebMD research and found that most people get shingles in their 60s. As I am in my twenties, I thought this was a bit odd. Why did the virus assume I was a senior citizen? Could it be: 1. My consumption of television programs such as Jeopardy!, 60...

Passover II
Marni’s World:
Passover is all about religiously avoiding delicious, tempting carbohydrates. So, remind me again…how is this night different from all other nights?

A mystery illness is preventing me from spending Passover with my family, but I hope everyone has a happy, macaroon-filled Pesach!

The Break Up
Marni’s World:
Dear Winter, Hey, so we need to talk. Remember in late November, when we first got together? It was so nice and cozy, you with your charming light snow falls and crisp, sunny days, and me with my new sweaters and attractive earmuffs. The holidays were coming, and being bundled up with a cup of mulled wine just felt right. We didn’t care that the days were shorter, for...

Deep Thoughts About Candy
Marni’s World: 1. Sea Salt Caramels. Um, what was humanity doing for the last 2,000 plus years if not putting sea salt in caramel? Like why is this new thing? It’s so delicious that I’m just kind of mad at everyone for not inventing it sooner. I blame it all on Jacques Costeau. Dude was supposed to know everything about the ocean, but he never told us about sea salt caramels. He...

On the 12th Day of My Chosen Winter Holiday, My...
I think this song needs an update. I mean, who would want that many live birds? Or would allow random strangers to dance, leap and milk livestock all over their home? Gross.
Plus, I think it needed to be more inclusive, and therefor non-denominational.
So I made some swaps.

Sweater Body
Marni’s World:
Hey ladies,
Come summertime we hear a lot about getting that perfect bikini body, but what about it’s cold weather compatriot, the sweater body?
Ah yes, how do we achieve that optimally lumpy, pale bulk now that we’re entering into the dark, depths of winter?
How do we pack on a layer of blubber to keep us warm on these chilly nights?
How do we get that little...

10. That bobby pin at the bottom of your purse. The one that languishes day in and day out next to the restaurant mints and...

Sandy Update
Marni’s World:
An Open Letter to Electricity, Hot Water, Cell Phone Service and the Upper East Side,
Look you guys, I’m sorry I took you all for granted.
I’m sorry that I didn’t appreciate how nice it was to see in the dark, to cross the street without fear of imminent death due to the wonders of stoplights, to keep your food cold until which time you wanted to eat it....

Are you there, Hil ? It's me, Marni.

Hey Hil,
Happy Birthday, lady! I hope your day is filled with headbands, fresh pantsuits and an additional data plan for all your texts!
Oh my god, remember last year when we went out with Angela Merkel, Julia Gillard and Gloria Steinem and had one too many picklebacks? And then Bill surprised us by performing “Birthday Sex” on his saxophone? And then we did...

Sanders World Volume II

Football Season
Marni’s World:
‘Tis a sad time of the year indeed. A time that dear friends and loved ones vanish from our midst. Though the days may be bright and crisp, it becomes a bit darker in our hearts. For the missing are truly missed. Birthdays, picnics, seasonally appropriate outdoor activities all ring just a bit hollower when there are fewer from our number.
But these loved ones, they...

Monday Monster
Marni’s World:
In laboratories around the world, seismographs recorded a disturbance. Surfers reported unusually high waves and the dogs and cats of the globe began to howl. Scientists traced the strange behavior to a North Eastern city in the United States of America and found that a monster of a most fearsome kind had been unleashed from it’s deep slumber.
Nations went on lockdown,...

Marni’s World is one of my favourite blogs because it’s funny and witty and brightens up my day. Seriously, if I read her blog on the subway(or anywhere in public) people would look at me like I was psycho. Anyway to show some love, I asked Marni a few questions which she…
