Weirdly enough just last week Trinity asked me, “Mom have you ever met a celebrity or a movie star?” “Hmmmm, not really.” I remembering seeing Mikhail Baryshnikov, the ballet dancer, at a restaurant in New York with my parents when I was young. I remember seeing Mary McFadden, clothing designer, in the lobby of our…
obsessions
What I saw in a week…
Do you ever see things during the day that make you shake you head and wonder, “what is going on here”? Here are some things I have seen in the past few days that were either funny, ironic, perplexing, silly, confusing or just down right sad. I was driving down Newport Blvd today and heard…
My little escape artist….
I am pretty sure I have mentioned before that Tiara “elopes” from the house when given the chance. I call it escaping but in the special needs community, “eloping” is the proper term, nevertheless they both mean the same thing, Tiara is on the run. Years ago she would constantly try and escape to find…
I stopped the madness!
I have to admit that my healthy eating and no sugar lifestyle have completely been lost over the past few weeks. I have a serious sugar addiction and when my life gets tough you can always tell by what I shove in my mouth. Anything with sugar in it! I have been on a really…
My coffee dilemma
This post is about me and my notorious propensity to become obsessed with certain foods or drinks. My past obsessions have included sulfate free wine, no sugar or dairy in foods, coffee made with a french press, espresso, organic foods, green vegetable drinks, and homemade bread to name a few. I currently make latte’s…
In a panic
I woke up this morning at 4:45 am and was totally panicked. I was still tired but knew I had to get up and get some stuff done or I would act like a crazy person all day. I needed to start marking stuff off my list so I wouldn’t feel so worried. Sorry, but…
Life after Bailey’s passing…
Since last Wednesday, it seems as if a lot has changed in our lives. Thursday we all woke up feeling the loss of our dog and I wasn’t quite sure how to help Tabitha through her grieving. She finally made it to work and I decided that I needed to clean out her room because…
Memorable Monday: Christmas without Lou
December 1989 Lou and I met at SDSU in September of 1989. If you haven’t read the funny way Lou and I met you may want to go back and read my post, “Did you know my hubby was my little brother?”, you will laugh. Either way, we made a plan in December that…
And once again, it’s time for the Christmas Card!
Just so you understand me, I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS. I love to send them and receive them. Like many things in my life, before the recession, our Christmas card was a rather large production. First I needed to get a professional photograph taken, then I needed to find the coolest most original card…
Are you sick of hearing about Black Friday?
As you all know, I love finding a good bargain, but I am totally disgusted with Black Friday. Last year I ranted and raved to everyone in the family about Walmart, Target and Kmart opening on Thanksgiving evening. I just didn’t understand why it was necessary to shop on Thanksgiving after dinner. Thanksgiving is meant…
