So what do you think? I was completely captivated with the Da Vinci Code but did not read Angels and Demons. However, I did see both movies and although I did enjoy Da Vinci more neither one rocked my world. As they say, I could have waited for the DVD. After being so literature deprived lately, I rushed out on the day The Lost Symbol was released to pick it up. I was so anxious to get another page turner… [Read More]
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy in a pair of khakis, a long sleeve RL button-down shirt, tasseled loafers, a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers and the scent of Polo. This package is classic and timeless. This is Mr. P. M. and I have been raising two boys to fill his Sperry Top-Siders to continue the tradition. These three men have been ideal participants simply by possessing a Y chromosome which means they will wear practically anything that I… [Read More]
I LOVE all things collegiate not only because I am a USC alum and proud of it but all things collegiate were indoctrinated in me from birth. Orange County is Trojan Country although those from that other school across town and which must not be named would have a different opinion. As I tell anyone my favorite teams are USC and anyone that is playing UCLA However, after spending this morning googling and checking out websites for collegiate needlepoint belts… [Read More]
Welcome to college. Son1 has the flu. 🙁 They are requesting many kids return home to stop the spread. The first week of class. Ugh!I had just finished talking with him on the phone and was listening to how horrible he sounded and how miserable he is feeling today. So hard to hear. Anyway, being at work I turned my attention to retrieving the the phone messages from our service.One read: Trying to get a hold of your wife. Your… [Read More]
The incident with Joe Wilson brought to mind my own moment of disclosure from years of calculated deceit. It involved a loaf of bread. When my boys were very young and I hadn’t gotten to the store to buy another loaf which was running low for the PB & J sandwiches and knowing no one liked to eat the heals of the bread I concocted a story. I told them it was the baker’s piece and it was so special… [Read More]
I am feeling better today. Yesterday was difficult.The reality of no children in the house hit me hard. The transition alone can make one think of their mortality and getting the results of blood work done the week previously didn’t help. Sign me up for anything with a little heart on it that says no trans fat, no sugar, no salt, no taste and no fun. My day began waking from a deep early morning sleep to the phone ringing….

I found this in a gift shop this past weekend. Was thinking about spicing up the ol’ marriage … “Spice Up Your Life” ~ The Spice Girls
“How many for the Pink Martini party, this evening, Miss?” I’ve rented the entire room just for us! I had a friend who once said our neighborhood was so obscenely decorated during Christmas it looked like Santa had thrown up. I guess you could say Cupid had the same digestive problem but I LOVED IT! How fabulous is this? This was taken during the morning but can you imagine how magic it is at night?? The Rose Parade meets The… [Read More]
