Jen Lancaster is coming to town! I might just pee my pants, I am so excited!

Jen Lancaster is my favorite author. OK, I have many favorite authors…. but she’s my favorite contemporary, acerbic, non-fiction author (why get all nit-picky about it?) The fabulously funny, smart ass, wine swilling, Jen Lancaster is going on a book tour for her fourth book, Pretty In Plaid. Her last book tour had her making […]

OK, I haven’t seen this before, and I usually don’t believe the “LMAO” claims when someone sends me something. I don’t know if I laughed my ass off, but my jeans are fitting a bit better after watching this. http://www.freakybestmanspeech.com/

Southern California rarely has anything interesting going on, weather-wise. Rich and I watch the morning news, not so much to see the weather report, but to see what our NBC weather girl, Elita Loresca, is wearing to cover up her enormous boobs. We crack up seeing what her librarian-inspired ensemble du jour is. No. Cleavage. […]

I love Christmas. I love the entire time period from the day after Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. We have special holiday movies that only come out once a year (It’s a Wonderful Life vies for viewing time right alongside Scrooged.) We have wassail almost constantly simmering. We have elves that leave early yuletide treats […]

Best. Store. Ever.

December 17, 2008 1 Comment

I just got back from a Fresh & Easy shopping trip. I love that their sale items are fresher and more beautiful than what normal grocery stores have on their best days. Today, for $100, I got 9 pounds of fresh jumbo shrimp 18 filets of fresh Atlantic salmon 12 pounds of tangerines* 2 pounds […]
