I want to preface this post by saying that I AM NOT A RUNNER. I never have been. I’ve always hated running. My theory was that if it wasn’t necessary to run, there was just no need for it. It’s way too hard! And I resisted it for years. Even when my husband would suggest…

Family Weekend
My mom, brother, sister and nephew all came to visit this last weekend. My sister graduated with her Master’s Degree (!!) so this was her grad gift from Mom – to come out for an all-expenses paid trip to visit yours truly. They were here for about 3 days and, as always, it went by…
SICK!!!

I haven’t been particularly busy. But I’ve had a photography job here and there, I’ve gone to Disneyland a few times, I’ve…
The Weather Report
Well, after all that bragging to my friends & family about how great the weather has been in LA, we finally had our first real storm! Rain, thunder, lightning, tornado warnings (!?!) It’s so exciting! The last time I remember it raining this much was probably about 5 years ago when we were living in…
A Few Things I've Learned in 2009
1. I could go awhile without another trip to Vegas.2. Painting the house gives me a buff right arm.3. I think I’m finally getting the hang of this whole photography thing.4. If I don’t buy the cheese pre-sliced, I will likely sit and eat a whole block of it.5. Running isn’t so bad.6. Cat barf…
