If you're having trouble getting up in the morning, try getting a new puppy. It doesn't cause you to get ANYTHING productive done from 5:30am to 7:30 am but it is an *extremely* pleasant way to get your ass out of bed and start your day early for a c

sure ..the crazy gooby names have already started. Actually naming him was the hardest part of this whole journey (well apart from finding a good breeder). We spent HOURS saying names back and forth to each other. To the point we were saying stupid s

Every group exercise class has one. There is this woman in my community that on again off again takes classes up at the club where I coordinate. I like to affectionately refer to her as "a member of the lollypop guild"..of course not to her

So my friend Jennifer and I are heading to New York City over the weekend of June 11-14th. She talked about making a trip up there a few months ago to visit her transplanted friend who lives in Manhattan (who I met over at Jennifer's house in Novembe

Tomorrow would have been my parent's 31st wedding anniversary. They were married in Pasadena California on April 17, 1963.  However, my dad decided to start dating his office assistant back in 1983 when I was 13 years old. Mind you, she's only 9

it always cracks me up when the vendors make their rounds with the free stuff. Today it was a lab supply company toting a huge rolling cooler of frozen ice cream treats. Everyone in the lab grabs something (mmmmm...mushy klondike bar for me) then the

You know, tax day really sucks. You feel like you're back in school with that looming term paper deadline always in the back of your mind. It doesn't help the way in which we have to figure our taxes feels more like a disciplinarian who tells us to g

Usually a 3 day weekend sends me into high gear. This time I had no motivation to do anything. Friday morning I taught yoga to a small crowd (school holiday). Ate breakfast at McDonalds, lunch at Pei Wei and dinner was pizza. Hell Cow indeed!Took a n

So this week, we learned my husband's company was bought out by another company. It wasn't a surprise, his company had never fully recovered and thrived after claiming bankruptcy and severing their ties with Enron (for whom he used to work for but le

I've been asked by a friend to fill out a recommendation form for her and her husband. They are looking to adopt some older children (up to age 5)  through the system in our county. I'm completely baffled by all of the hoops they must jump through.
