Why is it you can hit every red light in town but when you’re planning on putting lipstick on while you’re stopped you hit every green one?

Sweet Sunday
The attentive and proud grandparents in the booth behind us took their young granddaughter to lunch. She was talking a mile a minute and would bring up the cutest things to talk about, non of which were related, of course. For dessert they ordered a tall fluff of cotton candy. It was blue and sitting at least 18″ high on the plate. Her knees made a slight indentation in the softness of the booth’s cushion as she reached for the… [Read More]

Blue Skies
My Grace Kelly book ‘Pass-Along-Give-Away’ ends tonight. The ending of the book is a real surprise and talks candidly about her isolated life in the palace. Very interesting! The author actually interviewed her but decided to publish their conversations long after her death. You know how some stories stay with you? This is one of them for me.The response has been great for the Cocktail Napkin Swap so if you’d like to join us we’d love to have you! You… [Read More]

“Beep! Beep!”
I have suddenly forgotten everything my mother taught me about the perils of hitch hiking. On purpose. Have a snazzy weekend. “Get Out Of My Dreams (get into my car”) ~ Billy Ocean

Tory Burch Gave Me A Wedgie!
I was tired of flats and being vertically challenged. So I bought what I thought might be my solution this season. I decided to take them out for their premier last night to a lovely party among my friends most of whom are taller than my 5’3″. I took them out of the box, admired them and slipped them on my feet and instantly enjoyed my higher elevation. I walked to my car in the garage. I stepped of out… [Read More]

The Nutritionatrix and The Prius
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]

My Green Flash List
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]

Flashback Friday!
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]

A Name So Sweet
While I was in the waiting room today there was a mom with her high school son who was waiting for a physical. The mom began to question the receptionist as to the dates of when the last time the son had some shots or whatever. The boy apparently had had enough and said,“Maaawm!” There is something about that long drawn out vowel sound in our names that says, ‘you do not have a brain’ or ‘I am so embarrassed’… [Read More]

The New ‘Test Day’ Nightmare
Remember the dream where you find yourself suddenly in class and there is a test that you didn’t know about and you realize you never studied for it? Now there is a grown up and hip version of that dream and I had it this morning. You may even be in it! I am still reeling:I had just come back to my childhood home from a holiday break. I am ‘me’ now but the house has been turned into a… [Read More]
