Dinner Re-cap

Our Anniversary celebration was wonderful!  Dinner at Fraiche was really delicious.  I had a lovely piece of monkfish with mashed potatoes to die for, and my husband had some oysters on the half shell and a plate of freshly-made pasta with a super-rich sauce I thought was terrific. No photos of the food because we were [...]

Milestone!

Today is my 9th wedding anniversary.  Congrats to me and my spouse! We are heading out on a dinner date tonight to Fraiche, in Culver City – aka The Restaurant Capital of Los Angeles.  Perhaps I will sneak a photo or two of the meal… I checked the interweb to find out what would be [...]

Milestone!

I signed up my youngest son for Kindergarten today.

Workout Gear

I live in Los Angeles, so I have year-round outdoor work out capabilities, which is both a blessing and a curse, if you know what I mean.  But hey, I need to do it and so I’m very lucky to be able to get a great workout without needing to join a gym.   In [...]

Housework is the Death of Art

This is something a colleague once uttered, years ago.  It’s such a PRONOUNCEMENT.  And at the time, I felt ambivalent about it.  I mean, for one thing, he’s a man, and me being a woman, I felt it was kind of, well, easy for HIM to say.  He had a wife to do the housework [...]

I figured out the new Typepad way to make links hot!  And I am back in action!   Thanks, Typepad Knowledge Base!! An original post by Sarah Auerswald.

Typepad, what’s up?

Typepad has a new set up APPARENTLY, and I don’t know how to fix things yet.  It isn’t doing what I want it to, gosh darn it.  Sorry for the weird appearance of my last post — I’ll work on the html and get back to ya…   An original post by Sarah Auerswald.

Not Your Grandmother’s PTA

This phrase has been a rallying cry in the world of mothers of elementary school children for years now.  It’s as if they’re trying to convince those former lawyers who took a detour in their career paths to have children that they won’t be bored out of their minds while stopping by in this land [...]

Mother’s Day Re-Cap

Ahhhh….. That’s what I have to say about this year’s Mother’s Day experience. It was just lovely. It actually lasted even longer than a day! I started out on Saturday getting my roots and nails done. Pampering! YAY! (Well, actually, the roots were more of a necessity than pampering.) But the nails were fun. Just [...]

HIGH-AY-TUS!

(Sung to the tune of “The Love Boat”.) Hiatus. It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year! Even better than Christmas. It’s when my husband is home. See, many stay-at-home moms I know have a spouse whose job is structured in such a way as to allow him to do co-parenting duties in the morning [...]
