I Hate Fleas!

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:19:06 +0000

They say that it only takes 10,000 hours before you are an “expert” at something…anything. Well, I’m beginning to think that I may be well on the road to becoming a flea expert. And not by choice! For the past three months or so, we’ve been dealing with fleas. We really didn’t think it was all [...]

The Jury Duty that Didn’t

LA Blogger Gal — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:10:14 +0000

After a fun-filled weekend celebrating my husband’s birthday, I was more than ready to take part in my civil obligation and sit for jury duty. That was until I called in to register and see if I was scheduled to show up. Turns out, out of all the repeated, highlighted and bolded information…phone numbers, juror ID [...]

Oh Noz…It’s Shiny Object Syndrome

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:01:11 +0000

Did you know that there’s such a thing as Shiny Object Syndrome? Have you ever had one of those days where you know you have work to do, you’re trying to get something done (oh, I don’t know, like a newsletter or a blog post…let’s just say), but you find your attention being pulled in 20 [...]

Things Change. Life Happens.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. ~ Wayne Dyer Wow. I guess I didn’t realize just how long I’ve been gone from here. My last post was Thanksgiving Day – over 2 months ago. Not cool. I think I’ve been avoiding coming over here because well, like the title says…life happens and [...]

NaBloPoMo: Shall We Try it Again?

LA Blogger Gal — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:34:06 +0000

I’ve been participating in NaBloPoMo for the past few years. Some years I finish. Some years I give up. I wasn’t going to participate this year since I’ve kinda abandoned this blog (seems I spend most of my time on Facebook these days). But I thought that maybe this might be just the motivation I need to [...]

Allowing For an Imperfect Life

by Peter John Chen

[/caption] Well, I could whine and harp about how I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog in ages. But really, what would that accomplish? Instead I figure it’s best to acknowledge that I’m by no means perfect (who is?) and just jump right back in [...]

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 [...]

My House is a Mess

LA Blogger Gal — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:02:20 +0000

And it’s freaking me out. Seriously. I’m currently working on the holiday gift guides for ConstantChatter. That means, I have a LOT of boxes, envelopes, folders, papers and packing peanuts coming into this house. And like last year, it seems that I’m just stacking the sample products on top of other sample products. Which really means [...]

Weird Fashion Related Mistakes

LA Blogger Gal — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:16:06 +0000

I never said I was a fashion plate. In fact, I blogged about being fashionably challenged some time over the summer. While I have gotten a bit more fashionable since I started teaching again – I mean, considering I can’t teach in yoga pants and sweats – I’ve still got a lot to learn. The other [...]

Post-Halloween Life Lesson

LA Blogger Gal — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:30:14 +0000

Here’s what I notice… When you don’t eat regular, American chocolate for a while and then eat it…it tastes like shit compared to European chocolate. BUT… If you keep eating those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you’ll eventually start to swear they’re the best thing ever created. Why is that? PS – did you know that they actually make a perfume [...]
