The Hubby’s Antics

Shortly after coming back from dinner and dropping off our friend I change into my oh, so sexy PJs. I sit down at the laptop to do a quick email check and which point the hubby looks to me and says all vague-like, “um, I need to go up the street for a minute.”
Me: [...]

Cha…Cha…Cha…Changes

Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself – Hubert de Givenchy, Vogue, July 1985
I did it. Well, to be honest, I do it quite frequently, about every year or so. But this time, this time it was different. This time I went s.h.o.r.t. Even [...]

This is the Life

Ah. Hanging out on the beach. Taking pictures. Sitting poolside. Catching up with old friends. Reading good ‘ol girlie magazines. Truly, this is the life. I think that the only thing that could make this better was if my good friend would partake in some poolside adult beverages with [...]

Singing Waiters? Could be Fun.

It sounded like a good idea at the time. In fact, I even enjoyed the first couple rounds of happy birthday (especially how they changed up the song for different tables). I even considered bringing my friend to Miceli’s for her birthday in a couple weeks. It could be fun, right?
Once they [...]

Practicing Gratitude

After having spent a wonderful, if not hot, extended weekend with the hubby, I’m thinking it’s time to show some gratitude (and maybe a little meditation later).
* I am so happy and grateful for my awesome husband and boys. They may sometimes seem to drive me crazy, but really, they’re the best.
* I am [...]

Leave a Message at the Beep

Don’t you just love when every where you turn there are signs and messages for you? As I’ve briefly mentioned, I’m on the verge of getting back into doing therapy work. I feel that the time is right and I’m up for the challenge. On the other hand, like anyone getting ready [...]

Screw Thursday Thirteen - Let’s Try to Podcast (not!)

I am not a geek. I’m just a cheap imitation of one.
No really. I spent all damn day between the tutorials and the actual editing of my CC interview with Megan Crane. Then the hubby comes home, offers to help with one little bit and the next thing I know, he wants me to [...]

One of the Cool Things About Living in SoCal

A while back, the hubby and I were driving back from brunch and took a different, more scenic route home through the hills. And as we were twisting and turning along, admiring the houses, I scream “a Frank Lloyd Wright house! Turn around!!!” Thankfully, my husband, does on occasion listen to me. [...]

Overheard: While Out Looking at Open Houses

We were driving around a local neighborhood looking for a particular open house that was starting in a few (without a map, mind you)…
the hubby: Ooh look!!
me: What? Where? (checking for street signs)
the hubby: A squirrel! (pointing up to the electrical wires above)
me: A squirrel?
the hubby: Ruuuff! Ruuuuuff roooff!
me: What?!?!
the hubby: That’s [...]

One Boy, Two Boy, Three Boy, Love

Today was one of those days that when the hubby left I was just bursting with love and gratitude. Maybe it was the way our cat was scared of the lawn guy’s blowers and was crying and hiding behind my hubby’s legs. Maybe it was the way that our dog was barking at [...]
