Can you see my sidebar? I can, but I’ve heard rumblings that people are unable to find the “google friend connect” widget on this page, (it’s down and to the right.) I’m aware that for some reason [which I haven’t yet figured out] Safari is showing my two column side bar as one column stacked on top of the other. … Read more →

So Pretty. So Unnecessary.
I really dig this magazine rack. I came across it today while searching for a simpler version to house my never ending pile of old mags that I don’t have a clue what to do with. (I suppose that recycling them would be a good place to start…but what if someone needs to look back on when Britney met KFed?… Read more →
Mazel Tov, 13-year-old Me.
It’s days like this that I think to myself it’s time to grow up and stop storing stuff at my parent’s house. Case in point, my Bat-Mitzvah album, which is a time capsule of early 90’s hilarity, and would have certainly provided some excellent imagery for this post. But I’m too busy organizing the crap I am storing at my… Read more →
Things that arrived in the mail.
Part of cleaning out our “nursery” has included a massive sell-off of everything we’re not using. It’s been a while since I’ve spent some real time on eBay or Craigslist, but in the last few weeks I’ve been a selling/trading/bidding madwoman and we’ve been able to buy just about everything we needed for the office/nursery switchover from the money we’re… Read more →
Well Hello, 3rd Trimester.
She’s getting bigger, and so am I, but I’m still trying to stretch regular clothes over my giant bump. (I trust someone will tell me when I look like I’m vying for a guest spot on My Name Is Earl.) I can feel myself starting to slow down – exertion hits me a lot harder than it did a… Read more →
Expedit Prison
That’s the view from my new “office.” We’ve used an Ikea Expedit Shelf as a room divider between the “lounge” and the “living” portion of our main living area since we first moved in. So in order to create an office space that still provided some separation between home and work, we decided to fashion a sort of cubicle… Read more →

How Patriotic Are You?
Patriotic enough to wear these hand-made Old Glory Boob Tassles (aka pasties) from BedroomBeauties Etsy Shop? Because I think they’re pretty creative. (Nah, I’m not buying them – but you should be my guest.) Our fourth was spent chowing down on delicious BBQ with some of our nearest and dearest. Since we didn’t want Katie’s mind to explode from jealousy,… Read more →
If you’re planning a wedding…
These hair flowers from Virginia Geiger’s Etsy Shop are just gorgeous. Read more →
The Infield
Contrary to popular [snobby westsider] belief, The Valley actually has some very tasty places to eat. Case in point: The Infield, formerly The Dip, a hotdog stand which serves delicious Dodger Dogs year round…along with pastrami dogs (totally off my list of stuff to eat, but so good) chili cheese dogs, and all kinds of other delicious things. It’s also… Read more →
