For my 30th b-day, the husband and I rented out Skateland in Northridge and threw and 80’s themed roller disco. It was hilariously amazing and totally awesome! This was one of my most memorable birthdays because during the hokey-pokey, while I was standing in the middle of a circle of our friends, turning myself around, …
I think the car came just in time – who knows what would have happened-had you got to the other side The rational of it all – the contrasting shades– the symmetry of the morningcould not be duplicated, recreated – or erased I wish I was still 27 – you would still be here– instead …
I am in love with this photo. It is from my bro & sis’ wedding last fall (I was a bride’s maid) and was taken in the photo booth at the reception. We are very clearly, each a Gemini in our own right. Happy Birthday weekend to us! from left: 5/29, 6/2, 6/1 “Buddhists say …
Every time it gets windy in LA, someone undoubtedly says “It’s the Santa Ana’s again” …like they’re the f*cking weather man! Growing up [in LA – 818 mostly], I remember the Santa Ana Winds only really making their presence known around late Summer; August, September and possibly through the winter. Wikipedia seems to agree with …
I GOT A NEW CAR! As ridiculous as this sounds, when you live in LA, it’s all about your car …or maybe I’m just shallow, but I’d like to blame it on the city. Try to image sitting in your car for an hour to go TEN MILES, and then think about what you’d like …
After two days of crazy, I finally finished my mom’s bouquet on Saturday morning. It was supposed to be professionally done, but on such late notice, the flower shop couldn’t get the flowers I wanted. So I watched this video and got a few tips. It turned out beautiful but I was afraid she wasn’t …

I hate to say it but I am wearing green today. In fact, I kind of look like Peter Pan (with jeans). I can’t help it. As with most things, I blame my mother. When I was a kid, she would send me to school in a green dress with a green cardboard crown that …
above art:Mark Ryden “Cecella” My husband and I got married (well, eloped) September 4, 2006. He proposed at my 30th 80’s Roller Skate birthday party at the end of the Hokey Pokey – and it was awesomely radical! I thought soon after we’d buy a house and start makin’ babies. Real estate in LA slowly …
This has been a rather strange week for me mentally and physically and I am glad that it is coming to an end. Yesterday, I locked my keys in the car – the 1993 Subaru I’m driving because my car has been in the shop since October 15, 2007. Yes, again, that was since OCTOBER …
Is it wrong that I am almost 32 (not to mention, female) and can’t wait to get home from work to play X-box? Is it wrong that I have my own bubble-gum pink controller? Is it wrong that when my husband hooked it up in the master bedroom (because this is our second x-box in …
After an annoying disagreement with my husband this morning, I sat down at my computer with my coffee and bagel and learned that starting today, January 28 and lasting until February 19, Mercury is in retrograde. What this means to me is that no matter how hard I try to communicate, it will turn into …

I’m compelled to post because I’ve been so busy with my other blog/business that I’ve totally neglected this one. In fact, I skipped November entirely – but it was a weird month anyway I guess. It’s strange that the last post about my mother was October 29th, which just so happens to be her birthday. …
There’s something different today. Maybe it’s because it’s October. Maybe it’s me. It’s very still and quite warm and there’s something eerie in the air. It feels as if someone is watching. I keep looking over my shoulder and into the hallway from my desk in the office, expecting someone to be there. An energy …
