I actually ordered a non-fat, half-caf today


A man who is not my husband gave me flowers this week. Granted, he was my manicurist at a nail salon and they were wilting red roses post Valentine's Day...details. I'd like to think it was because I wasn't wearing my wedding ring and not to increase his tip, which was pretty generous because I felt so awkward. My husband, to his credit, did give me beautiful flowers on the day of Valentine. I couldn't care less about the "holiday," but they were a pretty surprise. He quite enjoyed his chocolate. And so did I.

Our little construction project has gotten a bit out of hand and we can't really be in our house right now. Road trip! We packed up the car, the kid and headed down to la la land today. We get to see family (in-laws in town) and old friends. Built-in babysitters and people to see-score! Plus, the weather here features real deal California sunshine. Not like San Francisco with it's sneaky, now you feel me, now you don't sun.

This afternoon I saw Patricia Arquette. Without even trying to stargaze. My husband is one of those ridiculous gawking types (so is my sister) who can't read lips or serious eye communiques. He always says (screams) "Who? Where?" as though there is no shame in calling attention to the fact that we are treating people like they are zoo animals. I am much more respectful and silent about it all. I emote internally. Living in LA for three years will train you to not freak out because you realize that celebrities drive carelessly, stand in the aisles for an inordinate amount of time at Whole Foods and usually look a lot shorter and less impressive in person. Stars, they're just like us. I still like seeing them and all the other insanely glamorous people that populate this town. Everyone is so beautiful. And so skinny! I would hate to be a teenage girl growing up here.

This week has been far too scary and stressful for people I love. Here's hoping this weekend provides some much needed relaxation and straight up fun for all.

  1. You are absolutely right about the San Fran sun. That made me laugh. I've only seen a couple of celebs here in Utah. I make it a point to avoid Park City during the Sundance Film Festival. I simply don't care and have no desire to stand next to someone who is going to make me feel obese. I'll take my coffee with straight lard. ;)

  2. Sounds like a nice get away - and my husband also is a 'gawker'. We were seated beside our prime minister once at a resort and my husband was practically sitting on his lap drooling. I was so embarassed.

  7. Due to the ban of smoking in public areas, vaporizers are used by many
    smokers as an alternative for smoking. The main advantage of
    this vaporizer is its small size, which makes it possible for
    people to inhale the vapor of dried herbs whenever and wherever they want.

  8. Make sure that a friend knows where you will be and at what times, as well as
    the name of the person. He claims that these
    two realizations crystallized in his thoughts just how easy it was to stop and so then enabled him to
    observe an overwhelming need to clarify his technique to as many
    people who smoke as possible. Tie a firm knot at
    the end of the thread and slip the needle between the
    two layers of fabric at the start of the hole.
