Men are Like Houses

There are two types of men in my opinion, “turn-key” and “fixer-upper”.  On the one hand is the kind of man who has everything going for him.  He’s educated, well spoken, handsome, a good dresser, employed, and has no annoying habits or fixations.  He&rsquRead full post »

Vacation Anyone?

School is almost out and I for one couldn’t be happier. Having learned my lesson from previous summers I’ve planned out a variety of camps for the second half of June and the month of July.  August I left completely unscheduled because I am hoping to plan an incredible, unforgettableRead full post »

WTF Just Happened???

OK...something really weird just happened.  I was sitting here writing a post and all of a sudden, POOF,  it was gone!  OK...first there was a quick flicker and then poof it was gone.

 

I'd been writing for like 30 minutes or so.  I was invested.  I should have hit "save… Read full post »

large-beach-books

Well, summer is almost here.  This is the time of year when I really let myself go and read some low brow, trashy romance "novels"... I mean beach reads!

Last summer I spent a week at a resort (and I use that term loosely) in St. Vincent.  There was no… Read full post »

Twins have Different Dads (Really)

These 11 month old twins have different fathers.

 

I came across this story about 11 month old twins who have different fathers.  Perhaps you've seen it as it is plastered all over the media.  I guess the 66 year old pregnant woman's 15 minutes of fame are over.

Today I Surprised Myself

I ran again today.  Something I never thought I'd do.  I ran 10 miles in hot weather through uneven hilly terrain.  Trail running with marathoners.  And I had never run like that before Monday.  Monday we went 9 miles.  It was cooler then.  Today my calves were alre… Read full post »

In the Company of Women



Can I take a second to brag about my amazing friends?  I keep company with some of the most beautiful, talented, dedicated, determined, intelligent, accomplished women in the world.  I'mnot kidding.  They are mothers, marathon runners, charity directors, writers, Realtor

Being Naked Under Water

I have never been naked while submerged in water except in my own bathtub.  I almost did it once though, when I was in high school.  Don’t tell my mother, but one night a few of us drove out to some acquaintance’s house in the suburbs.  The acquaintance wasn’t home.&nRead full post »

A while ago I wrote about how my car got broken into and my purse got stolen.  I don't know if I mentioned in that post that right when it happened I tried to call the non-emergency line at the local police department.  It rang for about 10 minutes and then… Read full post »

 American Idol's Kris Allen

OK...is it me or did Kris Allen look really upset last night?  I know he didn't get the kindest comments from the judges, but I don't think that's all that was going on there.  It looked like someone had pissed in his lemonade.

 

What could have happened to Kris… Read full post »

I just came from the mall (and no, I swear I'm not there every day) where I had a very frustrating experience at the Apple Store.  My teenage daughter's iPhone has been on the fritz (for a teen that's like cutting off an appendage).  I'd already brought it in yesterday only to be

Me and Tom 

Me with Tom Bergeron, the "Host with the Most" 

 Last night I had the pleasure of attending the kick off party for Wyatt's Run, an upcoming race benefitting ACT Today.  This amazing organization provides grants to families who are dealing with autism.  Now, normally… Read full post »



Last night I went out with some friends to a club in a part of Los Angeles that I like to refer to as  “White Bread Wonder World”.  It was a Thursday night and there was not a very big crowd.  Still, we made our way to the patio

Update on My Open Call for Help

Thanks to those who sent comments back with supportive words and advice today.  It helped a lot.  I have since heard from the woman and while she is offended by me and feels I am overreacting, and while she would admit no wrongdoing, in the end she decided to change the… Read full post »

Can Anybody Help Me?

I am hoping that somebody out there can help me.  I admit, I am entirely too naive and completely over trusting.  Anyone who's read my post, "I've Been Robbed" knows this already!  But I am in a pickle and am in desperate need of advice.  Please don't lecture me on being… Read full post »

 

 

  1.  I have never been skinny dipping--HARD AS THIS IS TO BELIEVE, IT'S TRUE...I'VE NEVER BEEN NAKED WHILE SUBMERGED IN WATER EXCEPT IN MY BATH TUB.
  2. I am a vegetarian--I STOPPED EATING MEAT A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO (NEVER FELT HEALTHIER).
  3. I have been to Spain three times--I

Blogging for Money?



I recently watched an interesting video on Yahoo about people trying to make a living by blogging (very few succeed).  It's become a big phenomenon this whole blogging thing.  And since there's little to no money in it, I wonder why so many people are doing it.

I've Been Robbed!

I have always been too trusting.  I never think anything bad is going to happen to me.  When little old ladies in grocery stores come up to me while I'm perusing the produce to tell me that I really shouldn't leave my purse in the cart, I politely thank them, butRead full post »

Tales From the Crypt

I went to the mall yesterday for a little retail therapy.  Hey, I'm just trying to do my part to stimulate the economy.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  While I was wandering around the mall in my state of bargain hunting euphoria I started to notice the facesRead full post »
