Prince: Opening Night at the LA Forum

I should start by admitting that I’m not a huge Prince fan.  Like most folks my age, I’m a fan of his more known hits from the 80’s, but I can’t say I know much beyond Purple Rain.  But I was given the opportunity to join my husband at Prince’s opening night show (show 1 [...]

Bonfire At The Beach: A SoCal Must

Yesterday was a first for me.  It was my very first bonfire at the beach.  And it was as cool as I always imagined it would be. It was our youngest niece’s 14th birthday.  And instead of sweating it out in the Inland Empire like we typically do, they opted for a day at the beach.  [...]

The Vacation is Officially Over

It was a very laid back kind of vacation. We’d been to the Mendocino coast quite a few times before, but this was the first time we went in the winter.  The best part of the whole visit, since we’d been so many times, there wasn’t any sort obligation to do anything vacationy.  Very cool. [...]

Chritmas Trees: Live or Artificial?

I think the last time I had a live Christmas tree I was in high school back in New Jersey.  Though come to think of it, I believe once we moved, we went to a large artificial tree.  So it must have been even longer still. Since moving in with my hubs, I’ve been using a [...]

My Trip to Ireland Remembered

This time last year we were heading home from our 10-day trip to Ireland. My apologies…in my rush to get something (let alone something relevant) up on time for my NaBloPoMo post, I wound up using a tool with a pretty crappy randomizer that apparently sucks in a HUGE way.  I’ll fix it tomorrow. I just [...]

It Was Long Ago and It Was Far Away

There are just some songs that the moment you hear them, you raise the volume and start singing and dancing regardless of where you are or who might be watching. Yesterday, I was reminded of this joyful experience not once, but twice with Meatloaf’s Paradise by the Dashboard Light. The first time, it popped up [...]

He Wants To Do WHAT With My Feet?!?

They say the ideas just flow while you’re in the shower.  That’s certainly the case when it comes to thinking of something to blog about. So I was in the shower scrubbing the great outdoors off my feet (ah, the joys of walking barefoot in the summer…you can’t do that without the risk of getting a [...]

I’m Happy in a Love Like This

taken the night of my going away party in Jan '03

[/caption] My husband I met 8 years ago this past Memorial Day weekend.  I was out here in LA at a party, sort of a grad school graduation gift to myself and well…there he was.  We dated, long distance for the first [...]

What’s Up With the Crazy Dreams?!?

Image by gneri67 via Flickr Enough already. For the past two weeks or maybe even more, I have been having some wonky dreams.  I wasn’t going to share them – because who really wants to read about someone’s crazy dreams, but they’ve been going on for far too long.  Rest assured, I won’t spill the details [...]

Damn! I Missed It!

Image by foreby via Flickr Well, happy belated blogaversary to me!!  I started this blog two years ago on New Years.  Well, I actually started it a few days into ‘07 but I post-dated some stuff to bring me to the 1st. I’ve actually been blogging over on LJ since about 2002 or so (started when [...]
