WELL JANUARY HAPPENED. And it hit us like a ton of bricks. We are still climbing our way out of the rubble, right on the tail-end of the holidays, and so much work and so many appointments and several sick days with no real recovery time and weddings and trips and family and yada-yada-yada. I feel like I haven’t had time…
Sorry for being so old – this is a lot of pictures for one post: 36th birthday here 35th birthday here 34th birthday here Me at 33 here
I made the shocking discovery last year that I am an introvert. It took me by surprise and liberated me in ways I never could have imagined. I’m still learning to navigate it, because 1) I’ve always strongly preferred my extrovert side and 2) I forget. I forget that I’m an introvert and I forget…
Last weekend, I got my license to be a stripper (and the bruises to match). This was in Vegas at a class titled Pole Dancing 101. Seems pretty official! I do parties! And take champagne as payment! I think the holidays, and weeks on end of a packed schedule, and weekend getaways… they all finally caught…
Making: many trips to the little neighborhood Handy Market. It’s my favorite. Cooking: is not for the faint of heart. Drinking: a French 75 at every possible occasion. I should learn to make it.

At our Christmas party, I put the dessert in the oven with the Saran Wrap still on top. Blame the a-a-a-a-alcohol. I don’t think I’ve been giving blush enough credit. Since I’ve had mild rosacea my whole life, I just never thought I needed it or even understood how to use it. But I piled it on…
I wanted to throw out some more health tips for you guys before the new year, in case you’re looking to make changes after gorging yourself during the holidays (like I did). This is kind of how I stay on track for the long run. PLANNING AHEAD The most important thing you can do for yourself…
Looking back, I realized I never updated you guys on my Fall Capsule. Turns out, I don’t think that many people cared, so that’s a… relief? I guess? Since California had so little change in the weather anyway, I didn’t really have to worry about making many adjustments. I wore my Summer Capsule with a little…
I had a teenager give me a tutorial on how to use SnapChat. There is no turning back now. (Username: themomgonnasnap) When Stevie wants to put something in his “cock-et”. I react like a 12 year old boy. Or a 36 year old husband. The most stressful day I had this week was when my…
IS IT FRIDAY YET? (Well it wasn’t when I wrote this. But I guess it is now.) Also, I nearly passed out when I got an email yesterday that was titled Two Weeks til Xmas. I need a security system for all the security system salesmen who stop by our house. I took Stevie to…
