Hanging Out at the Game With the Gang From Carls Jr.

I haven’t been to a hockey game in a long, long, long time – no really, last game I went to, I was still living in Atlanta.  So when I was asked if I wanted to watch the game from the Carl’s Jr suite this past Saturday night, you just know I had to say [...]

Rub a Dub Nothing Beats Soaking in a Tub

Most of my friends know of my love of soaking in a bathtub.  Heck, I’m sure I’ve mentioned it here that when I vacation, one of the things I look forward to is a good soak. You see, in our apartment, we have a pretty dinky (and enclosed) tub.  In my places in NM I had [...]

Spending Time with Friends in Laguna

Some of my good friends from Albuquerque were in SoCal this week. I haven’t seen them in a couple of weeks…oops, make that YEARS…so it was great to have a sleepover. It was one of those situations where it was hard to even stop talking long enough to sleep. I love having the chance [...]

LA Mommy Bloggers Sure Can Cook

Or would that be they sure can no-cook? Today at my nearby Pavillions grocery store, local Mommy Bloggers (just writing that makes me cringe a little, but hey, it’s a niche, and I can respect that) got together for a no-cook cook-off.  Basically,  they had ten minute to shop, $25 to spend on groceries and then [...]

Back to School, Back to Beauty: Soak Nails

I start back at school in just over a week.  Needless to say, that requires some shopping (yay!) and some basic grooming. Working from home all summer, and honestly not getting it out all that much to socialize outside of with friends, I’ve kind of let things go a bit. Coincidentally, Spa Week starts next [...]

The Rarely Talked About Side Effect of Blogging

When I first started blogging, I never really gave much thought to the fact that people would be reading my thoughts. During this time, I was already keeping an online journal where I did have people reading my thoughts. And as you would expect, you write differently for both situations. When I got started, [...]

My real-life, good friend Lisa Steadman, relationship coach extraordinaire and best selling author, has a brand new book coming out today that will seriously rock your world if you’re going through a breakup or struggling to heal and move on from past heartbreak. It’s called It’s A Breakup, Not A Breakdown The Workbook: A 21 [...]

I Seem to Have App Envy

The question is…do they have an app for that?  I mean they have apps for everything these days. Though I am a bit confused as to why anyone would need a shaking baby app, but well, maybe I just don’t get it since I’m not a mom and all that. But really, I am quite [...]

Respondez Vous S’il Vous Plait

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 [...]

The Birthday Plans Continue

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 [...]
