The vacation Gods smiled down upon us. With a blessing, a little luck, and some blackout hotel curtains, all of us slept in until like 9:00 on our second day of vacation. A Festivus miracle! — rise and shine! — We wanted to get out of the hotel at a reasonable hour, mostly to fit as many meals as we could…
We wanted to get out of L.A. for a second. We were basically just seeking some cooler weather, to be honest with you. Yes, that could have been as simple as our annual drive up to San Francisco, but I was getting the itch and the urges. You know… to go somewhere new. See something different. Cross something…
I wanted to touch briefly on how much we loved our hotel in Seattle. Normally we stay with Marriott. It’s just a safe bet pretty much everywhere, ya know? Nothing fancy, but we trust the brand. And they are everywhere. But in Seattle – damn, they were expensive. Down by the waterfront was over $300/night the…
What an insane week it’s been. Insane in the best way possible, I mean. Last Sunday, Paul and I had a date night to see Elton John at the Staples Center. We were so far away, in the second to last row, we now know what he would look like from outer space. And I’ll tell you,…
While the last couple weeks have pushed me to my limits, this past weekend had some really… fulfilling moments, helping to put me back in a little better state of mind. Not only does crying like a baby help, but I worked on Friday. If it had been anything other than a wedding, I probably…
Palm Springs. 113 degrees. Fantastic house. Poolside. SPF 100. Awesome group. Great food. Girl talk. The kind of weekend where your biggest problem is who’s getting out of the pool to get the next round of drinks?! I give you “Scenes from a Bachelorette Party”. Haha And that’s all I’m authorized to share at this time.…
This Disneyland trip was only a couple years ago, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime! I can honestly barely remember it. I could only tell you it was in the winter time, because Paul had that awesome mustache. I have a feeling the first few years of Stevie’s life will be like that for me.…
Just got home from Sacramento last night. We went up there for my cousin’s wedding and had so much fun seeing our extended family. As usual it was go, go, go the entire time. We kept the boys busy and the wedding reception was epic, by Nugent standards. But nothing sums up the whole weekend…
Ooooh, we had such a weekend planned! For Stevie, it meant a trip to San Diego with his Tati, a two-night stay at his Hokur Tina’s house, swimming, eating and a day at SeaWorld to top it all off. (Spare me the lectures on the Shamu stuff. I wouldn’t dare talk his aunts out of this…
This summer activity was kind of doomed from the start. I mean, Stevie took a nap in the car on the way, so I had high hopes. My only wish at that point was a no-poop-in-the-pool day! But it didn’t quite work out. Well, there was no poop (thanks God), but the rest of the afternoon went…
