I’m seeing a nutritionist today. It’s our second date. It seems I’ve stalled my metabolism by not refueling every morning with breakfast and rarely with lunch for years. Throw into the mix that I do not sleep in regular cycles thus taxing my bio rhythm so it is confused. According to her PhDness, it’s going to take me 6 months of eating within an hour after I wake, not skipping lunch until 3 PM like I normally do and daily… [Read More]

I knew today was a holy day but “Holy Guacamole”! The baja quake was the longest I’ve ever experienced. A big roll then about a minute of side to side slippery movement. When it hit I was drying my hair and stopped to wait it out and then Mr. PM and I yelled to each other on different floors to check in but the movement kept going ever so slightly then it picked up again until tapering off. I felt… [Read More]

After dropping College Boy2 off at Union Station in Los Angeles, we drove around and I took some drive-by photos. I thought I’d share some things I found interesting. Union Station first… Union Station on Alameda, built in 1939.Sexy man in the yellow shirt, built in 1956. Dark woods, iron and art deco signs create a warm interior in an expansive setting.The old ticket concourse now sectioned off and silent.Can’t you just hear the clicking of heels of the 40’s… [Read More]
Tomorrow completes spring break for us.College Boy1 has already left and College Boy2 leaves tomorrow. The day before they leave is the hardest for me. I tend to sulk internally knowing what is coming. This past week everything was as it should have been, selfishly, for me. There were home cooked meals around the kitchen table, dinner at the sushi bar where the owner/chef was happy to see us walk in all together, the ironing board made one of its… [Read More]
I saw these on Parcel Post. The blog accompanies a stationery store in Venice, CA that I would love to visit one day. The west side of LA however is like a million miles away from Orange County. Not really actually, but there are no left turn lanes in LA with green arrows! What would I do?!? My nephew who lives in the heart of the city accuses me of not wanting to leave “The OC” for this reason alone.Maybe… [Read More]
Some people just do sunglasses well. January Jones is one of them. Whether as Betty… or herself… In Moscot VildaGQ In Oliver PeoplesShe always looks classic and timeless. I have a love affair with sunglasses and own way too many.

Love them.They come in a variety… [Read More]
