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. …
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 …
So… we went to Vegas… again. This is our annual Vegas trip/photo documentary. The Drive: I know we’re getting close when I start seeing billboard signs for lame shit. This one was rotating LeRoy’s – and I got lucky and caught it before we drove by. This may be one of my favorite photos ever. …
Hello 32… Today I am officially 32. How do I feel? Sick. My husband and I both returned from Vegas only to get sick for the rest of our vacation. The good part? We are on the last episode of the first season of LOST …and we would have never gotten this far had we …
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 …
