Here it is– my 40th birthday. I knew it was coming. I braced myself for its swift arrival, and now, it isn’t so bad. I don’t feel any different then I did yesterday morning. Here is a list of good things about being 40 years old: 1.) Everything you liked about your teenage years is […]
Five Ways to Spot an Orange County Girl in LA
..inspired by my recent trip to Santa Monica 1) She whips-out her Handi Wipes and Purell at least three-times an hour. 2) When a salesperson or waitress finds out she is from Orange County and asked if she is like the “Real Housewives of Orange County,” she responds, “Only when I get poor service.” 3) […]
…and he said yes!
Like every little girl, I always wanted a Dad who adored me. Like Steve Martin in “Father of the Bride” or Mr. Bennet to Lizzy in “Pride And Prejudice.” Oh, how I wanted a Dad who would sit on the edge of my bed and have long talks with me about boys, who would teach […]
Santa Monica Weekend
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

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 […]
