On Saturday we had our first Ugly Sweater Party. It was more difficult than I thought to actually FIND ugly sweaters, but everyone did a pretty good job. Even had a few people end up with the same ones! We had a gift exchange, games, and oh so much food. It was a lot of…

Successful Christmas!
When I say successful, I mean it was relaxing, fun and stress-free. Luckily I got most of my Christmas shopping done pretty early this year, so on Christmas Eve we got to focus on just wrapping the gifts and preparing delicious food. We had the Christmas music going and it was raining outside, so it…
P.F.T. (Pretty Frickin' Terrible)
PFT actually stands for Pulmonary Function Test. I had one of those today. I went in not really know what to expect, just that they would be monitoring my breathing. I had no idea what a traumatic experience it would be! They put me in a little glass box with just a chair and a…
New York State of Mind
First, let me preface this entry by saying that I was originally keeping a little notebook of all the things we did, because I have the worst memory of anyone I know. But the notebook was lost somewhere in the shuffle. So I will try to remember as much as I can off the top…
John Mayer: Take 2
After a failed attempt at seeing John Mayer in concert this last summer (which we DID get our money back for, by the way), we thought we’d take another shot and see him at an indoor venue where everyone is guaranteed a seat. He was playing at the new Nokia Live Theater in Downtown L.A.…
Sista Love Too!
My sister wrote the sweetest blog entry about none other than ME. So here’s a little shout-out to you, sissy: As I read your blog, I was laughing and crying at the same time. You got me a little veklempt on that one. I have missed you terribly lately. You have been through a lot…
Why Blog?
So my cousin brought up a good point in her blog and it really got me thinking. She was asking WHY do people blog? Is it for journaling purposes or to keep your family updated? Is it to look like a deep thinker? Is it to entertain people? Are we really being honest in our…
Photo Opps
Besides shopping for a few hours with my husband (that never happens. His shopping stamina is usually 30 minutes MAX), the best thing I did this weekend was ride the subway over to downtown LA to witness the Equality Rally and March. This was a huge protest that was put together by the people who…
So Let's Talk Politics
I am not a political person, by any means. I have a hard time keeping propositions straight and don’t really know where I stand on a lot of issues. I feel the Democrats and Republicans are so far removed from each other and I’m sort of in the middle with a lot of their ideas.…
Disney Day 2...and More!
This place just went from a mad-house to a little too quiet in a matter of seconds. I had my sister, nephew, brother and Dad visiting for the weekend and they just left to get on the road. It has been over a year since I’ve seen my pops and it was good to have…
