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 …
My Mother is a Mrs. Again!
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 …

Happy Irish Day
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 …
Baby Fever
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 …
It’s FINALLY friday
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 …
Evil Mrs Peppers
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 …
Mercury in retrograde
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 …

it’s friday
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. …
It’s friday
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 …
this is not my week
having nothing to do with anything but everything to do with nothing, here is an excerpt from “The Man of my Dreams” by Curtis Sittenfeld “…To live with a person who might at any moment spin out of control makes everything so clear: Your goal is to not instigate, and if you are successful, avoidance …
It’s friday
Friday is my favorite day. It means I no longer have the stress of the grind and I get to spend 2 whole days with my husband and dogs; LeRoy -my little, little and Bebop Pugman. As the credits started running on Evan Almighty it started raining outside. Hope it doesn’t flood.
