OK, so let’s talk about what we did while the cutest nephew in the world was visiting. (I should mention that my sister was here too. I know she sometimes gets overshadowed by the cuteness of the kid, but she is fun to be around too! She’s such a good mom and likes to have…

Our WI Favorites
Our buddies from Wisconsin came for their annual summer visit. We just love when they are here. They kept this pregnant lady on her toes as we toured all around town. We saw LACMA, the Downtown L.A. Art Walk, the Getty, and spent some time with family as well. One is going off to college…
4th of July
Usually for Independence Day we get together with the friends at someone’s house to BBQ/relax. This year we wanted to mix it up a little, so we got together with the friends and went down to Long Beach. We had a great lunch at the Yardhouse and walked around Shoreline Village for a bit. We…
Help!
I’ve fallen off the blog-wagon! I swore I wouldn’t do that because this is sort of like my journal. I need to write things down to remember them. Seriously, my memory is that bad. But honestly, things have been pretty mellow around here. I got really sick with a sinus infection, but let’s just skip…
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…
Public Nudity
Yeah I did it. I was naked in public. Sort of. I can’t say its the first time, but it was the first time where it wasn’t pitch dark and in a lake. (Skinny-dipping as a teenager.) On Saturday, I went to the very fabulous and wonderful Burke Williams Spa in Pasadena with a couple…
DMB on Ellen
This will probably be my last Dave Matthews Band post of the year. (Unless, of course, they reschedule Salt Lake City and I’m magically able to afford another trip!) We are on “Dave Overload” for like 2 weeks a year and then use the rest of the year to prep for next time. What can…
Wild Weekend
This past weekend was probably the busiest we have had in awhile. Just go, go, go. All the while trying not to breathe because the air is so disgusting from the fire just over the hill. On Thursday, I had the audacity to try Disneyland. It turned out to be the hottest day of the…
Adele
Promptly upon our return home from Palm Springs, I took a nap. And then went to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl! There were a few ladies playing, but the only one I was really dying to see was the headliner, ADELE. And she did not disappoint. Chaka Khan was cool as well, but Adele…
Tour de Los Angeles (This is a Long One...)
WOW! What a week. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some family visiting from Finland and I was one heck of a tour guide. In fact, I was so good, that I wore myself out!! Haha. I slept really well last night, but it may take me a few days to get…
