I’m completely rational, until I’m not.

It’s time for Markleeville! One of my favorite places on the planet, and the site of our annual camping trip. Lots of hullabaloo around here and things have been more hectic than usual. I’ll be a calm, relaxed person once I get there… it’s the getting there that can stress me out: Picture all of […]

I never did get my funnel cakes.

Rich and I had a date last night. We went to see Chris Isaak at the Orange County Fair. (He was awesome!) Vanessa Carlton opened for him. (She? Not so awesome.) We saw lots of the people and things you’d expect at a Fair… crying kids in strollers, large women in clothing that is waaaay […]

If you want to surprise your wife, it really helps if she’s unconcious.

My wonderful husband surprised me with a birthday dinner at one of my favorite restaurants last night. Our friends Ernie & Raquel and Brett & Laurie were waiting for us when we came in. It was such a nice surprise, especially since things have been really hectic and stressful. Rich is very fortunate that “hectic […]

I never caught the Porn Star Name bandwagon. I did not put the name of my first pet together with the name of the street I grew up on. (Mostly because I really don’t remember my first pet.) However, when I read on another blog how to find your Viking name, I wanted to do […]

Happy 4th… however you celebrated it.

We got out of Dodge the night of the 3rd in order to spend the holiday weekend at the cabin. Certainly not a traditional 4th of July with block parties, swimming & fireworks… but this year with everything going on with Mike, we thought keeping it low-key was a good idea. (especially since the boys […]

Did I step in something?

OK, my husband is watching a show on the History channel about poop. 120 minutes on the topic. (“All About Dung”… the historical significance of excrement*) (I know!) They’ve been to India to talk about sacred cow poop, to prehistoric times to discuss fossilized mammoth poop and currently the narrator (from the narrator capital of […]

To briefly return to that “vintage” topic…

Last week Rich and I were watching the Today show. Mitch was at the breakfast table. One of the news headlines was that Cyd Charisse had just passed away. Mitch: Who’s Cyd Charisse? Me: She was an old time actress who did a bit of everything – acting, singing, dancing… but a long time ago. […]
