The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]

I went to a charity fundraiser with my friend Jodi last night. We got dressed up…   we put on make-up…   I spent more than an hour actually drying and styling my 45 pounds of hair…   We were lookin’ good. Upon arrival, we headed (immediately) to the bar and each got a glass of wine.   We […]
