I like this picture.It reminds me of my date when I was a junior going to my prom. My date in 1975 wore a baby blue tux. I could get out my pictures from the garage and post them but they are in a box – that is sealed – in a white trash bag – that is sealed. I am way too lazy to do this. This picture also reminds me of the Mystery Date Game guy who ten… [Read More]
I was very fortunate recently to win an unbelievably fabulous and most generous give-away from Jillian, Inc. She hosted an entire week of out-of-this-world goodies! I’ve been a follower of her blog since I began blogging. She is witty and clever and always a fun read. Her tag line is ‘Life. Laundry. Lipgloss.’Don’t you love that? I won 3 gift certificates! $50 to Target – $50 to J. Crew and $10 to Starbucks. The day Jillian’s envelope came in the… [Read More]
Sometimes we are just too close to a situation to be objective. This is a time when we need to seek the assistance of someone who is gifted and has the ability to see into the future. This is when I call my friend who is a seer. My dear, dear friend Suzi whom I have mentioned before is this person for me. This is just one of her many talents in the astral plane of the shopping world. She… [Read More]
It’s time to think about what I’d like for my Birthday next month. Fantasizing that my budget is unlimited is the best part. Don’t we all love to do this? If Mr. Pink Martini ever read my blog he would find many ideas to surprise me with and since gift buying is not a particularly strong suit of his I have made it very easy for him. Key: * = Easily Obtainable. No brainer. ** = The ‘wow’ factor would… [Read More]
I was wondering what to have for our Memorial Day cookout. I think I’ll have lobster. Lobster TotesLLBean, of course. “Pass the tanning buttah”: “Rock Lobster” – The B-52’s
Who knew frosting could be so funny! CakeWrecks.blogspot.com … is a blog where people send in professionally decorated cakes that have ‘gone horribly and hilariously wrong.’ What makes this blog over the top are the witty and sassy comments by Jen, the blog author. Some fan favorites : “The Flash Drive”; “Hey Beheh”; “The Sexual Harrassment Cake” Thanks to my wonderful niece, Mizz, who has the greatest sense of humor and for knowing I would get such a kick out… [Read More]

I saw this beauty yesterday in the LV store. It was calling my name – in French even!It was iridescent like the vinyl of a vintage car’s back seat just pleading with me to hop in and be bad. For close to $900 I couldn’t be that bad even for a bag. Ever. I found this knock off for $239 and although I know it doesn’t have that hypnotic allure of the real LV, I’d be happy to take her… [Read More]
I’m sure you’ve heard about the NY Times columnist who is accused of plagiarism from picking up a quote from a blogger. This comes on the same day I found someone using a photo of mine taken from my blog. It is okay with me because the photo is insignificant but it took me quite by surprise. It got me to wondering though- should the creative writings and original photographs of bloggers be protected or is everything up for grabs… [Read More]
Today was a day for a few firsts. In Laguna, it was the first time I had been there for lunch as I prefer going there for dinner to watch the sunset. It was the first time I had been to K’ya on top of the Casa de Camino hotel. It was the first time I have had a Salade Nicoise. It was the first time I had seen or tasted caper berries that were on stems and as big… [Read More]
