I once dated someone that did not like brunch. (WHO DISLIKES BRUNCH?! How did we last so long?!) Brunch is probably my most favorite meal. EVER. It means never having to choose between omelet/potatoes and pancakes/bacon. It means having a made-to-order omelet, bacon, sausage, ham, waffles, lasagne, home fries, cheese & crackers, fruit, salad, dessert...

The Word of the Day is: CHOCOLATE
CHOCOLATE ice-cream covered faces. . CHOCOLATE brown leather club chairs (that was just TOO GOOD of a deal to pass up, you’d have to change my name to “Foolish” if I hadn’t bought this at Larry St. John’s sample sale). CHOCOLATE brown & pink flowered dresses with adorable mandarin collars.
Lean Cuisine Lunch Dates
Abby & Owen came over for lunch today. It just so happened that Audrey & I had a lunch date as well, so that meant a little play time for A & O.
Manipulation for a good cause
Did you happen to catch last night’s American Idol results show? If not, it was a special called “Idol Gives Back” aimed at raising awareness of hunger, poverty and the devastation of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, as well as hunger and poverty here in the US. It was loaded with several deliberately manipulative, heart-tugging...
Flowers are happy things.
These sweet orange flowers at the end of my driveway greet me every day and night as I come and go. I’ve been meaning to capture their sweetness for days and finally got around to it this afternoon. That led to a little walking tour around my place where I found these beauties. (Couldn’t you...
Snow, beautiful snow!
This image made me happy.It made me think of all the reasons why I dislike living in LA. And yes, I realize that “LA is conveniently located: 45 minutes to the snow! 45 minutes to the beach! 45 minutes to the desert!” but it’s just not the same. And who has time to make so...
I HEART my red shoes.
I’m sure that I own many things that I now regret purchasing, belatedly feeling it a waste of money. I could have spent just $10 or $500; some things, in hindsight, just weren’t worth it. I will, however, never regret the purchase of these shoes. I feel stylish & chic every time I wear them....
Random
Every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday afternoon I drive by this street and think, “Now THAT is random!” And then I chuckle to myself. So I today I stopped to take a picture. I bet someone driving by, seeing me take a picture thought to themselves, “Now THAT is random.” He. He. He.
Babies are blessings from God, indeed!
Yesterday morning (8 am, early!!) my niece Audrey was baptised & dedicated to the Lord at the beautiful Wayfarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes. She handled the attention well with royal waves to the crowd, greeting her subjects throughout the ceremony. She really is quite precious, and I’m delighted and honored to be her aunt and...

In honor of Earth Day. (Google always does the coolest things with their logo. )
