Last night Louie and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and I was complaining about my poochy stomach. Until recently, I always had a flat stomach, but suddenly my whole body has shifted and if I gain even 1 pound it shows on my belly not on my butt. My whole life…

Not a great day, when you wake up and step in poop…
The past 24 hours haven’t been totally horrible but a series of events have me wishing the day would end quickly and we could start over tomorrow. Last night, Tabitha decided to go to the market and grab some avocados, since we we were making our favorite seared tuna and avocado dish, but we…
Is this what other people really do on the weekends?
As I mentioned last week, Louie and I were going overnight all the way to Fashion Island, approximately 4 miles from our house, to the Marriott to get away alone for a whole night. After messing around with the Islands Hotel and my Living Social voucher and checking all the other suggestions I received…
Brighten up your space in 5 minutes for free…
I love to have fresh flowers in my house at all times, but I can’t always make that a reality. I grew up in house where my mother always had vases of fresh flowers everywhere and of course I would love the same for my family. Prior to the recession I probably spent $25…
Sorry, but if your child isn’t good, they should sit on the bench!
I may become very unpopular today but I don’t really care. I was going to write this post last week but I was in such a twitter about the whole subject I decided to calm down and wait so I could discuss my opinion like a reasonable human being. Here it…
everything I didn’t tell you this week…

Are your pupils the same size?
I am just going to say it straight out, I hate going to the eye doctor. I would rather have a pap smear than get my eyes checked. Crazy but true. On Monday, I realized that I only had 3 days of my contacts left and from past experience I know you need a…
Do you think it is rude to send a thank you note via email or text?
Now that my birthday is over, I have a few thank you notes to write and I am contemplating how to get them done. I grew up super old school, where a written thank you note was to be sent within 2 days of receiving any gift. I tried to teach my children the…
Who do you look like?
My whole life, everyone has told me I looked like my Dad. We both had blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin as opposed to my Mom and sister’s big brown eyes and darker complexion. Funny enough about 7 years ago, I had to start wearing glasses to read and realized I didn’t look…
Where to get the best stuff for super cheap!
This is such a random post for me, but I thought I would share where I purchased all my current set of dishes, my glasses and few other things. First of all you must know, that all the dishes we received as wedding presents 20 years ago were broken within a few years. I…
