Kisses: What You Give When You Have Nothing Else to Give

LA Blogger Gal — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:19:04 +0000

This weekend, as part of a beat the heat promotion, Anthem Magazine was giving away passes to the Irish movie, Kisses. And yes, yours truly was lucky enough to not only win a pair, but was able to beat the heat as well! While it didn’t have the happy ending that most of us Americans have [...]

It’s Summertime And The Living is Easy!

LA Blogger Gal — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:23:45 +0000

After a month or so of some June Gloom, summer has hit LA hard! We went from days in the mid-70’s to days in the 100’s. This is something I was hoping to avoid as much as possible. Luckily, this year won’t be nearly as difficult as the last years. While we are still in the [...]

It’s Official, He’s Joined the Masses!

LA Blogger Gal — Tue, 25 May 2010 00:13:19 +0000

I know I haven’t been around here much these past couple weeks, but we’ve had quite a bit going on. You see, we’ve been gearing up for the big layoff. We knew it was coming, and to be honest, we are quite excited about it. And now it’s official. My husband is officially a socio-economic statistic. Well, [...]

The Little Guy is Finally On the Mend

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:47:12 +0000

It’s times like when I’m dealing with a sick dog that I remind myself of two things that I’m extremely grateful for: 1) that I’m not a mother and don’t have to take care of an infant or sick or teething kids and 2) that I work from home and don’t have to go to [...]

Rub a Dub Nothing Beats Soaking in a Tub

LA Blogger Gal — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 02:40:02 +0000

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 [...]

A Shivanat I am Not

LA Blogger Gal — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:44:22 +0000

I’ll admit it I bought the Dance of Shiva DVD months ago. I tried it a few times, but my shoulder started acting up (for some odd reason, I sleep with my right arm thrown up above my head as high as I can – go figure) so I didn’t push it. I’d pick it [...]

No More Talking, Let’s Dance: The Only Reason I Watch Vampire Diaries

LA Blogger Gal — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:45:47 +0000

You’re like totally cool and so hot. Oh yeah he is. And if it wasn’t for Mr. Ian Somerhalder I wouldn’t even be watching this show. He’s so much hotter than when he was wimpy ol’ Boone on Lost. Ooh, but rumor has it, he’ll be back for this final season on Lost. Woohoo! Thank God for [...]

Thinking of you while enjoying our vacation. One of the best things about living near the California Coast. Hope you enjoy this brief moment of zen.

Holiday Gift Guides: Just Had to Share

LA Blogger Gal — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 03:53:49 +0000

I figure I spent SO much time working on these suckers these gift guides that the least I could do was share them with y’all. You just might find something cool and exciting. I think in a week or so, I might share my personal gift guides as well. Or would that be a wish list…hmmm. [...]
