I forgot a very important meeting with the school board this week to get Stevie transitioned into a Burbank district preschool. I’m usually totally on top of things like that. And I just plain old forgot. Went for a run, then came home and sat on the patio with my juice, relaxing, and decided to…
Playing a bit of catch up here. We tried the splash pads again. That went grrrrreat. I guess the splashing part of the pads caught him off guard. But it was kinda worth it for this moment. An end-of-summer BBQ at a friends’ house went much better. There was a dog, so that helped. A…
As Stevie gets bigger, his naps get shorter *sigh* and I have to come up with more things for us to do in our down time. He refuses to hang out at home. (Seriously, he badgers me until we are out of the house. He’s relentless and it is a huge stress trigger for me.)…
Hey. We get it. You have short hair. I know, I know. But I get so excited when it gets noticed or other people take it as inspiration to cut their own. It was a big deal for me to have hair this short. And frankly, I like feeling flattered, okay? Here’s a feature from…
TTGLIHATIF (Thank The Good Lord In Heaven Above That It’s Friday). This week has been exhausting. Not only did I wear jogging shorts a couple days ago with no intention of jogging, but I accidentally wore them inside out and didn’t realize it until I got home from running errands!! Capital DORK. I have always had…
I loved this from Pip Lincolne’s blog, so I’m doing it too! Making: an afghan that I started last fall and plan to finish this winter. Cooking: HAHAHAHAHA! Drinking: the usual + champagne. Reading: Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan. Wanting: a backyard. Looking: forward to cooler weather. Playing: outside as much as I can…
Let me just start by saying there are not many people I would drive to San Diego County for. We’re looking at a potential 8 hour round trip. In one day. But luckily that didn’t happen, the stars were aligned and I was destined to see my friend Alicia while she was visiting from Utah.…
Paul and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary over the weekend. On Friday night, we had our traditional dinner at Arnie Morton’s Steakhouse (holla) and then on Saturday we went away for a little overnighter to Temecula. It. Was. Perfect. So relaxing. Beautiful weather. The wineries were dressed to impress. I just loved it all.…
I’m getting super sick of my shopping diet. I think a whole year was overshooting a tad. One of my weekly highlights is when Kevin & Bean (106.7 FM) close their radio show on Fridays. I have never smoked weed a day in my life, but their song about bogarting that joint is just the…
Well, it’s a sensitive subject for me. And it’s going to be a tough one to overcome as the years go on and the teasing gets crueler. Maybe it’s karma for bugging the girl who sat in front of me in junior high science class. Or call it human nature and something that all kids…
