In Response to My RSVP Rant
May 3rd, 2009 — life, life lessons
I realize that my RSVP rant from the other day might have sounded like I was passively aggressively calling people out. Trust me, I wasn’t. Really, I’m just ranting about the RSVP process as a whole and all the seeming frustration its creating. The lack of any response thing is just something that I don’t [...]
It’s Almost That Time
April 24th, 2009 — LA fun, eat & drink, friends, life lessons
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 [...]
This Teaching Thing Seems to Be Kicking My Ass
April 8th, 2009 — life, life lessons
Well, not the actual teaching. I’m actually loving being back in the classroom and working with the kids. In fact, they kids even commented on the fact that I wasn’t there last Thursday and filled me in on what they’ve been up to.
What’s kicking my ass though are the early hours. You [...]
Looking for Make-Ahead Recipes
April 4th, 2009 — eat & drink, friends, life lessons
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 [...]
Make New Friends, But Keep the Old…
February 26th, 2009 — friends, life lessons
…one is silver and the other is gold.
Or at least that’s what the old childhood song taught us. Thing is, I’m learning that as an adult, it’s not always so easy to keep those old (or those new) friendships going. Sometimes, life just happens. Kids are born. Marriages end. People get transferred. Families get complicated. [...]
What Do You Do About that Maiden Name?
February 24th, 2009 — biz, friends, life lessons
Thanks to Facebook, I’ve recently connected with three old friends from my past. Each friend said that when they Googled my maiden name, nothing came up (mind you, my married name will give you over 10 solid pages of results thanks to press releases and articles I’ve written and people I’ve interviewed). So it got [...]
Valentine’s Day Schmalentine’s Day
February 16th, 2009 — eat & drink, life lessons, love, the hubby
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 [...]
Uh Oh, I Just Spent $100 on New Lipsticks
January 29th, 2009 — gratitude, life, life lessons, shopping
Yes, you read that right…$100 on new lipsticks (plural, more than one).
As you may or may not have heard (if you follow me on Twitter you’ll likely have heard), I just found out last week that my favorite, go to lipstick has been discontinued. I’ve always heard about those ladies that freak out when their [...]
I Picked a New Theme
January 24th, 2009 — life lessons, whatnots
And I’ll be sticking with it. Out of convience, I decided to go with the CopyBlogger theme. It’s streamlined, but still customizable. So down the road I’ll play with it, give it a header and have some fun.
For now, it’ll do nicely. And I bet it’s a helluva lot more stable than what I was [...]
I’d Lose My Head If it Wasn’t Attached
January 22nd, 2009 — life lessons
Man, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. I seem to be losing things left and right. There’s the stuff that seems to be lost in theory, the stuff that just seems to be misplaced and I’m certain will show up shortly, and the stuff that seems to be missing outright.
Let’s start with what is [...]
