Dang. Mr. PM needs to be in the dog house more often. Actually he wasn’t in trouble, he’s just being a sweetheart. I was going to post tonight on cookies but now I think I’ve got other plans. 😉 See you tomorrow.

“Someday My Prince Will Come”
Did you ever dream of being a Disney princess bride?Now you can be with the line of Disney princess bridal gowns. Which princess would you be?Preferences based primarily on dress design. The prince is a secondary consideration.Besides who remembers any princely potentials besides Aladdin? Ariel.They used to call this style ‘fish tail.’Now it’s ‘mermaid.’ Still something fishy about it to me.Personally, I think it makes every girl look like she’s packing a little more bait in the dorsal fin. But… [Read More]

Normalcy.
I have been deeply affected by the enormous tragedy in Japan. The images coming in everyday are overwhelming. I try only to watch at night which has probably been the reason for my restless nights. I have a bad feeling. The kind where you go about your day and look around like you’re trying to capture normalcy knowing it will be gone when you wake up tomorrow.There is a nuclear power plant in south OC. A big one. As the… [Read More]

It’s Always Sunny In…. Coto
When you think of SoCal do you think of mountains and green rolling hills? The green won’t be here for long so I’m really making a point of enjoying our spring weather. I’m very fortunate to live in a pretty location and I know I don’t always appreciate my surroundings as I’m driving in and out so I grabbed my camera yesterday and took some photos on my way out. One rule I adhered to was to take the photos… [Read More]

I Should Really Get Out More Often or Should I?
Saturday was date night per se. We drove up PCH through Laguna Beach for dinner at Modo Mio. The sunset was gorgeous after a crystal clear day reaching into the high 70’s. This is an unexpected little jewel of a restaurant in the Crystal Cove center between Laguna and Newport Beach. The food is very good and it’s nice to know you can still get cozy ambiance with table linens and an entre under $20. This makes me want to… [Read More]

Tuesday
Hello friends! Thank you for your patience while I attended to real life last week. I had a huge list to accomplish and I got all of it done except one! I’ve also been rockin’ the new year with 2 – 4 hour lunches with girl friends and today’s included 3 martinis! By 5 o’clock we even contemplated ordering appetizers for dinner accompanied by another martini. I felt so decadent.I’ve had a great year so far. I hope you have… [Read More]

Today.
Work piled up. Offices neglected. Wrapping/junk room to be dismantled. Calendars needing to be updated. Copy to revise. Photos to edit. Website to complete. Cookies to decorate. Decorations needing to be put away. One son back at college. The other to return tomorrow. Overwhelmed but functional. Wonderfully hungover on holiday happiness. Got to get crackin’. What does today have in store for you?

Float On 2011
For me, as I think it is for most of us, New Year’s Eve is a time to look back as well as forward. Auld Lang Syne and all that.A little melancholy mixed in with the champagne and noisemakers. A cocktail of sweet vermouth and bitters strangely mixed to a balance. 36 years ago tonight I stood on a float for the Rose Parade and waited while the preliminary judging took place which would decide my fate of how my… [Read More]

Water, Water Everywhere
We woke up to the fire department in our cul-de-sac. Looks like the hill at the end of our street which is 2 houses away from us is saturated and is starting to come down. If you’ve been listening to the news you know SoCal has had 6 days of non-stop rain which is highly unusual for us. The neighbors at the end of the street have water coming into their house and if you look at the picture you… [Read More]
