I am slowly but surely decorating our future house as I foresee our cash being depleted by buying the house and not being able to decorate it will drive me insane …SO, I splurged and bought the Eames House Bird a couple weeks ago and I cannot wait to get it. I got an email …
The Sniz
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I had our first “together” visit to the gynecologist to make sure we’re doing everything right as we embark on the next phase of our lives: baby making. {and a routine yearly check-up for me} Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable situation for Pep {though he met …
summer in photos 2008: installment no.4
it almost looks like everyone is posing …and maybe we are… robots.
Adding Blazers to your 2008 Wardrobe
So a couple weeks ago I went to a local thrift shop that I used to frequent and found a RADICAL {and silly – but I like clothes with a sense of humor} light purple blazer that just so happen to have the original Nordstrom tag on it. It was priced at $34 and when …
A Night Out at The Derby to see the Band Sitcom Neighbor
It’s an unusually busy week for us! Last night we headed to The Derby to check out my uncle’s band Sitcom Neighbor and they were awesome! It’s so great to see my uncle wailing on the drums. We’re a very musical family. My grandpa and two uncles are drummers and my late grandma and her …
Polaroid Discontinued…
For the last couple of months {actually, much longer} I’ve been noticing a resurgence of Polaroid photos – artistic Polaroids. EVERYWHERE. And honestly, I like it. It ads a vintage feel to almost any subject matter and a depth that you don’t see as much in digital photography. But mostly {speaking from my past}, Polaroids …
Joey Chestnut beats Kobayashi in OT
We just started off our 4th by watching the 2008 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest over breakfast. mmmm. Last year I watched Joey Chestnut beat the six-year winning Takeru Kobayashi by eathing 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Kobayashi claimed he had an injured jaw and that is what lost it for him. I couldn’t …

It’s Friday
…and to start off the festivities, I just polished off a tear’n share (um, king size) bag of peanut m&m’s. That’s right. It’s 9:33am. …and then I found these chairs …this bed …and this chaise How fab, right? I mean, the chaise looks like a water! Okay, actually , Couture Carrie left me a comment …
A Message from George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but …
Catch me with my 80s Ray-Bans on
Circa: 2008 Circa: 1988 …yes, they are the same pair. Note* the title of this post is actually a line from the chorus of a Hyper Crush song called Discotech. One last one… because it’s all gritty and makes me laugh (also from 2008)
Starving for more
I am so bored right now (and by right now I mean in general, not this exact nowness) that I can’t even come up with anything interesting to post about. I think the heat has zapped my inspiration of anything creative. It’s possible that everything just seams lame to me right now which means I’m …
Love Day according to Cartier
According to Cartier, today (June 19) is Love Day. Is it a ploy to make more money for their LoveCharity? I dunno, probably -but the bracelet is quite cute (I’ll take one) and why not celebrate love? If not everyday then at least one day a year. (yes, that’s sarcasm)
Endometriosis & Ovarian Cysts & How They Affect Fertility
June 12 (2007), a new anniversary for me. Last April I scheduled an appointment with a new gynecologist who also happened to be an infertility specialist. I went in for the normal yearly check-up; got weighed (fun), changed into a paper towel (awesome), and sat on the wax papered table and waited for the Dr. …
Dear Lungs,
I abused you for over ten years, filling you with smoke and tar and nicotine and poison and still you allow oxygen to travel in and out of you to keep me alive. For this I apologize and thank you simultaneously. Today is exactly two years since I decided to quit abusing you and start …
