Why Isn’t Sushi Bite-Sized?

No really?  I don’t get it.  In all honesty, I’m not a native Californian gal and never even had sushi until about 6 or so years ago.  Even then it was only California rolls (I love those things!).  I slowly progressed to spicy tuna rolls. Yes, still rolls.
To be totally and completely honest, I just [...]

How I Spent My Labor Day Weekend

Did I hang out at the beach?  No, but I did go to the Pier at Huntington Beach for dinner with an old friend one night.  We didn’t quite make it to the beach, though I could see the waves break through the windows and got to smell the bonfires as we drove down PCH.
Did [...]

One of My Favorite Things About the Fall…

Spa Week baby!  It’s the coolest thing, you can any treatment from botox to a massage to a facial or body scrub all for $50!!!  It’s a great way to check out a spa to decide if it’s one you might want to go back to later. There seems to be less spas participating this [...]

Back From Sonoma!

We got home and settled in last night.  Overall it was an absolutely awesome trip. Best of all was being able to visit with my good friend.  We don’t get to see each other often enough.  But after this too quick visit, you better believe we’ll be heading out to Madrid to visit with them [...]

Some Completely Random Things

* Lunch went well.  My husband has a great team that he works with and the gals are all super sweet.  I was right too - one gal is an immigrant from China (she did our ordering) and the other two are first generation, as is one of the guys.  It was good fun though [...]

Migraines Do Suck

My migraine twinges finally turned into a full on migraine last night.  Of course, I was too focused on watching Vantage Point to let it get the best of me.  I thought Vantage Point was a great movie, too bad it ended so quickly.  I mean just a couple more minutes on everyone’s story would [...]

I Have No Voice Thanks to BlogHer08

But don’t get me wrong, I had a blast.  I have some video clips, a couple of photos (not many come to think of it), and tons of business cards, but with such a wonky connection here in the room, it’s not worth even trying to get any of it up.  So instead, I thought [...]

Decisions Decisions

I’ll admit it, I’m domestic diva (of sorts).  I’ve settled in quite nicely to my work from home situation and have embraced domestication with little fight.  And as the work from home wife, I’ve also embraced Bunco.  Once a month, I get together with other ladies and over a good meal and a nice glass [...]

And Now a Yay! Moment

One of my good friends from Spain just called!!!  We used to teach together back in Atlanta.  The year before I moved away, she got into the teaching abroad program.  Since then, I’ve moved twice and she’s lived and taught in three countries - Turkey, Peru and now Spain.
I’ve been lucky enough to visit her [...]

Holy Hell it’s Hot!

You know it’s going to be a hot day when you wake up and by 10:00Am it’s already 95 or so.  Yeah, that’s what our past couple of days has been like.  And let me say, it doesn’t make for happy times.  Even the plants are miserable.

Yesterday I woke up early as I had a [...]
