The more I dive into the paraphernalia of my high school years, the more I realize, surprisingly, how much fun my friends and I had. It makes me feel a little guilty when I hear most people talk of the utter agony those years were for them. It’s as if there were only so many […]

Ways I wish 70’s TV shows were different 1) I wish, just once, the cone of silence would have worked. 2) I wish Mary Tyler Moore didn’t wear so much concealer. 3) I wish Mrs. Kravitz would have stopped being such a butinsky and paid more attention to her loveless marriage. 4) I wish “Half […]

Okay now I am just being lazy, but I also think this is hilarious. I am sorry I am pushing my humor on you…but everyone is now sending me stuff they find funny, which then I find funny and want to share with you. Isn’t it odd how if you find something you think is […]

Came home last night to find the house filled with smoke. There are fires just a mile from here. I had left the door open for the dogs, so the house is now covered in a thin coat of ashes. There was talk of voluntary evacuations but the wind shifted and we were out of […]

Dear OC Post, This is the hardest letter I have ever had to write. I am just going to come right out and say it, “It’s over.” I know this can’t come as a shock to you. We haven’t spent any time together lately. It’s not you, it’s me. You’re great! Your formatting and writing […]

I think the British TV show “The IT Crowd” is hilarious, but everyone I have sent the link to doesn’t think so. Please watch, if you have 20 minutes (and if your Vicki and at work, you do), and let me know if you think it is… well, funny: (The Work Outing, part 1) (The […]

I don’t want to panic anyone, but I seem to have lost my iPod. I have looked everywhere I can think it would have taken off to; under the seat of my car, in Ben’s treasure chest, or in Sunday’s handbag. No sign of it. It looks like this: and has playlists with the following […]

Hello Kitty, secretly always longing to be a bunny, cleverly disguises herself as one and tries to blend in at the impossibly cluttered and pastel Sanrio store in South Coast Plaza–only to be revealed on my blog as the poser she really is. Carousel at Irvine Spectrum. Holiday window at the Ted Baker store.

I am turning 40 in December and one task I have assigned myself is to go through all of my boxes (and boxes) of old photos. This has been so fun, humbling and well, at times, truly frightening. Looking at these photos, it became clear to me that one requirement I had in high school, […]
