We had a fabulous time with wonderful friends for New Year’s Eve. The six of us adults laughed until we cried. It was so much fun and it was the first time in more than 7 years that we celebrated the new year with other adults. We had a beer tasting. We had good food. We played games. We laughed and laughed some more. I can’t remember a New ( Read more... )

It is the holiday season again already. It is difficult to believe we are already nearly done with 2012. One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting a family photo of the three of us and getting our holiday cards out. In years past, I have designed my own, but I have fallen in love with the designs that Tiny Prints offers, year after ( Read more... )

We got back from our trip to BlogHer and our Tour d’East Coast two weeks ago now. It was an exciting adventure and like any fabulous vacation, I am glad to be home, sweet home, savoring the memories.

I had no trouble getting my little ( Read more... )

We arrived in New York City an hour and a half after our scheduled arrival time. We left the blue skies, sunshine, dry air and cool breezes of San Diego, in exchange for thunderstorms, rain, humidity (OH GAWD, the humidity!) and numerous flight delays to get to New York. We had all the ingredients for disaster along the way. We knew we had to ( Read more... )

I am in a funk. I hate it. I cannot seem to snap out of it. I feel like I need time to rest, relax, reorganize, and recharge, but really, there is never enough time to do any of that effectively or efficiently. Besides, shit happens and here I am again, with 500 things going on my to do list for my every one item I check off.

Boot camp is going ( Read more... )
