I have gone from blonde, to red to auburn all in the course of 5 weeks. Today when I showed up at the color boutique, I was planning on changing my color to plain Jane brown, but I told Tina, she was in charge. Since she was the expert, I was going with whatever…
happy moments
I was having a pity party and then something great happened…
I seriously hate the feeling of jealousy. Once in a while, it will find it’s way into my life and suddenly I feel like crap about everything and I just want to give up. In the past 10 years I have noticed that all my fits of jealously revolve around design. Silly but true. …
If you want to know what she will look like in 20 years, look at her mom…
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…
Have you ever coned your ears?
Ok, by the time you finish reading this post, you will probably be in disbelief, maybe a little queasy and if you are anything like me, you will be on a mission to get your ears coned asap. So this is the story. About 6 years ago I was at lunch with a few ladies…
Is this what other people really do on the weekends?

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…
Have you ever noticed when you talk to someone almost everyday you always have so much to say and yet when you talk to someone you haven’t seen in forever you are sometimes stumped on how to carry the conversation? Well, that is how I feel about my readers. I write stuff to you everyday,…
Super weird side effect from a new seizure medication
Last month, Tiara’s neurologist prescribed her a new seizure medication that just came on the market, called Potiga. Even though Tiara is only having a few seizures each day, which is super fabulous for her, she is so sedated she can’t do much until the afternoon each day. Our plan was to add this…
A crayon fundraiser for Tiara!!!
This past Saturday morning Tiara had a big surprise. Avalon, a 6th grader at Newport Heights Elementary, my Alma mater, came over to our house with her Mom, Gina and brought with them boxes and boxes and boxes of crayons. WOW! Tiara was so excited she kept saying “thank you, thank you, your welcome,…
