While being forced to do her least favorite thing in the world–homework–Em started to tug, press, and fuss on her ear. “It hurts so bad…” Now, being skeptical by nature and sometimes just for the enjoyment of it, I hardly believed her. Her self- prescribed remedy to “just go lie down and watch TV for […]

Today’s Snapshot: Lunch with Lisa at The Filling Station
(Around the Orange Circle.) Lunch with Lisa Mertins at The Filling Station in Orange yesterday produced this interactive “Snapshot.” If you go to Lisa’s website–here–you will see me, taking the picture of Mr. C’s…and a frightening picture of McDonald’s toy dolls that she claims was inspired by my daughter’s Dorothy, but I’m certain her girls […]
The Glamourous Life: G.I.R.L’s party
Today is my friend Marcy’s G.I.R.L. (Glamourous In Real Life) party on her blog. All the participants submit one "not-so-glamourous" story about their "not-so-glamourous" life. It’s kind of like a domestic disaster dogpile. I used my story about the curse that is laundry. Read my "Oh, the laundry Gods must be mad at me." […]
Today’s Snapshot: The Camp in Costa Mesa
The Camp is in Costa Mesa, right across from The Lab and down the street from prim South Coast Plaza. The Lab and The Camp are alternative shopping centers that both brandish their own distinctive personalities. Retail cousins, The Camp is like the Phish-loving, organic cotton-wearing one that is always trying to get The Lab […]
This blog has been briefly interrupted by my life
…running late on the snapshot for yesterday and post for today. Em slipped in the shower and split her chin. Last night we spent over three hours in the emergency room at CHOC waiting for the doctor to give her twelve stitches. She was a real good sport about the whole thing. As soon as […]
Today’s Snapshot: Orange Park Acres in the Morning
I love Orange Park Acres. I took this photo outside my friend Ericka’s house one morning. Seeing this horse up in the sky reminded me of the Rickie Lee Jones song, Horses. “That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darlin’ we’ll go riding on the horses, yeah way up in the sky, little darlin’ if […]
My latest affair
I guess this is how it happens a lot of the time. You’re at a party and BAM! you see him and it changes your life forever. At least that is how it happened for me…but, not with my husband, with another man. I was simply trying to have a nice time at a dinner […]

Friday Five: Five videos that would have been perfect on Noggin, if Noggin were around in the ’80s
…or five videos from the ’80s that could be children’s music videos made today and played relentlessly on Noggin…or Playhouse Disney. Toni Basil–Mickey Madness–House of Fun OMD–Locomotion Devo–Through Being Cool (Will require explanation of words “ninny” and “twit.”) Altered Images–I Could Be Happy (Running Lion and bouncing ball over lyrics makes this the clear winner.)
