Talk about the joining of two great ideas!  And what a great way to celebrate that we’ve been joining together to discuss books for over 4 years now! So here’s the deal…back when I was planning my birthday, I was craving some Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes from Layers Cupcakes (I tasted them a month or so earlier [...]

Why didn’t anyone tell me?!? Who doesn’t need an excuse for a cocktail.  I say bring it on baby! According to the Museum of the American Cocktail “World Cocktail Week, celebrated from May 6th -13th was established to promote a better understanding, appreciation, and respect for the cocktail and its history.” I’m all for a little celebration.  Does [...]

Okay, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here, please forgive me.  But why is it that some people seem to have such challenges responding to an invitation? I know I’m not alone here as I heard about it (and experienced it first hand) during the wedding planning days. Yes, I had more [...]

Things are progressing along nicely in LA Blogger Gal’s 40th Birthday Extravaganza planning. I do believe I’ve settled on a location.  With luck, we’ll be outside in this amazing garden setting, chowing down on Greek food (my fave!).  A friend of mine recommended the location from a place where she’s eaten before.  And since she’s [...]

Yes…it’s almost my 40th birthday! Holy cow, I can’t believe I’m going to be 40.  Remember when you were just a kid and forty just seemed OLD.  Well according to Sephora (and their Beauty Insider email), I’ll be 40 in less than two weeks. Oh.My.God!  Less than two weeks! Maybe we should put a little perspective in [...]

I just love when I open to door to get the mail or let out the dog and have a surprise sitting there waiting for me.  And today, that surprise was this old school Pepsi lunch box and a sample of both their Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwbacks. So what is a Pepsi or Mountain Dew [...]

Calling all my cooking friends… A good friend of mine is about due to have baby #2. I don’t believe they need much, so I figured instead of a gift they probably don’t need, I’d make them some food. I figure this will make things easier for them and will be much appreciated. I’m thinking about [...]

I”m not sure if other cities do it, but from time to time (couldn’t find the general details online, just the ‘09 specifics) LA restaurants join together and participate in DineLA’s Restaurant Week – which is actually typically two weeks.  Orange County also participates, but I don’t know the specifics. During this time, many of the [...]

But I’m totally loving my boxed white sangria (from Target). It’s even better when mixed half and half with orange-flavored seltzer water. Yummy and oh, so classy. PS – is anyone else concerned that they also sell juice-box sized wine?? * turns out I must be ashamed afterall since I forgot to say that I was NOT ashamed *sigh* SHARETHIS.addEntry({ [...]

I meant to write this post on Saturday, you know, Valentine’s Day, but um…well, I didn’t.  Well, then I mean to write it on Sunday and well, that didn’t happen either.  Then I came into the office about two hours ago saying to my husband “I’m going to blog now” and well, found other things [...]
