Just back from my twice-a-year weekend trip with Jana, Jill, LeAnn and Vicki. We went for the first time to Santa Monica and stayed at the beautiful Georgian Hotel. Build in 1933, this hotel has just been restored to all of its glamorous Art Deco glory. We (J, J & I) stayed in the Carol […]
Random Weekend: You Grew-up in the 70’s, plus one retro speech-centered pet peeve.
You had a pair of these Roller Skates. With the pom poms… and you got back together with your seventh-grade boyfriend when it was girls-ask-boys to skate, and they played “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb. You had a cool older brother. My brother Rob had a 1972 pea-green Plymouth Duster. This is the only picture […]
Confession No. 3: The Faked Nervous Tick or Weird mannerism
The other night I was at a charity dinner– unfortunately the guest speaker turned out to be a long-winded phony with questionable credentials. After a particularly improbable statement, I rolled my eyes high and big. Well, I then realized that people might be watching me since I was sitting right in front. So I did […]
Get The Kids Together For A Spaz-Fest
I don’t care for the terms “play date”, “girl’s night out” or “date night.” To me they just cheapen the experience of, kids playing, hanging out with your friends and going out with your guy. They seem like terms made up by an editor of some parenting magazine. I “do” all of these things, but […]
It Was A Blustery Day At Disneyland
I am a Disneyland person. There are three types of people in Orange County, those who love it, those who don’t and those who only like it on a perfect day. I am firmly in the first mouse-eared camp. I know you are thinking, hoping, crossing your fingers, that I am not one of “those” […]
Don Rickles, Nina Hagen and Merv Griffin
Don Rickles, Nina Hagen and Merv Griffin, no, this is not the cast of a dream I had last night, it is just another day on YouTube. Is there anything you can’t find there? (To just the right person, this is one of the best things they have seen in a long time, to everyone […]
Finally! The New Issue of Broughton Quarterly is Here!
Here it is, the Winter issue of Broughton Quarterly! I didn’t mention this because I wanted it to be a surprise, but Annie did a sketch (page 10) for the “notes” section. I think it turned out really well. Also note the picture of the dashing Publisher on page 4. I got to keep the […]
Christmas Greetings brought to you today by “A Fanciful Twist”
(“Holiday Deer Holiday Cheer” from A Fanciful Twist)
Bewitched By Blogging
Today is my blog’s three month anniversary. I hadn’t ever read a blog until I googled my old friend Annie Galvin and found her at Wexford Girl. It was lucky for me she had kept her maiden name, otherwise I wouldn’t have ever found her. (That is like one of the female curses; pain in […]
Christmas Gift Ideas (Part 8)
This is my final one. If you haven’t gotten some good ideas from 1-7, maybe this girlie-addition will help or maybe you are just a big ‘ol procrastinator. I love these Marie Antoinette plates from Rosanna, $40. (Thanks for the tip Kelly! Please check out all the stuff on this site, so great!) ****Attention Boys**** […]
