So, a tax bill was signed into law today by Cali’s new Governator (does that title still work? we’ve still got a jack ass…) Jerry Brown, who is on his second round after being Governor in the late 70’s early 80’s and a brief run for a presidential bid in 1992 (and apparently a few others before I became… Read more →

Agro is My Middle Name.
{Also known as I get lost in pretty design when I’m crabby, but we’re getting to that…} That’s one of my scariest crazy-faces. That’s probably why Dee looks like that. Lindsay of Linz Loves You wasn’t my only companion to the Dwell on Design exhibition. {But she did have the biggest knockers of all my companions. And a Berkeley degree…blah… Read more →
Missed Connections
You: a stunning modern umbrella waiting to be hauled away at the end of Dwell on Design. Me: running late as usual, only making the final hour of DoD today – by the time I saw you from across the exhibition hall I was frazzled, sweaty, and totally unable to connect you with your manufacturer and/or Seller. But I can’t… Read more →
The Other Woman
Her name was Lola. She was a show girl…. Actually that was what Scott called the cherry red 1967 Cougar that met it’s unfortunate end while parked on the street on spring afternoon. My devastated man cherry picked her engine out and put it into his first car ever – a 1962 Mercury Meteor called Ethel. But kids start projects… Read more →
Lohan, You Fucking Fool.
Picture this: You’re Matt Lauer. You’re feeling pretty good about that. I mean, YOU ARE MATT FREAKING LAUER. You shave, you get dressed, and you go to work, which today involves interviewing THE once-talented-it-girl-turned-total-hot-mess of the moment and you are all pumped up to ask the hard questions, and maybe…just maybe…get some well-lit mascara soaked tears in the process. But… Read more →
Peanuts and Crackerjacks
This is SO what it’s about. Happy Father’s Day Scott. We love you. You rule the most. * * * And now, the worst video of the lamest wave at a baseball game probably ever. Read more →
Summer Travels When You CAN’T Just Pick Up and Go.
It‘s kind of like a trunki for grownups. I mean, even though I have a full set of luggage that Scott and I share for the wedding, there’s something about this case that SCREAMS Business Traveler. Either that or “I implement my odd sense of humor into even my travel gear.” {more accurate.} At any rate, I totally freakin’ want… Read more →
Fab launches. It’s so awesome, I have to go on a shopping strike to survive.
I call these kill-me-in-my-face-I-want-them-now lamps, but Fab has them billed as David Trubridge Designs. I mean, right? And this is just their first week. Gorgeously Stunning Killer Bowls by Kiln Design Studio. Why, yes Planterworx, I will marry you. I swear I don’t work there – I just get this psyched about affordable design. If you haven’t joined FAB yet,… Read more →
Why can’t I get used to my life?
I pace a LOT these days. I thought that by the time Dee had hit 20 mos, I’d have this whole momming thing in the bag and be moving on to new knotches in my belt. But instead, I still have this strange phantom anxiety and guilt about my life and the way I lead it. WTF is up with… Read more →
Dark Days
The problem with June Gloom dragging on as long as it has is that I am a person who really needs sunshine all the time. Ultimately, it’s why I put up with the craziness of LA life rather than disappearing to the MPLS or the Colorado Mountains or Provo Utah or somewhere completely inexplicably random (not that I’ve thought about… Read more →
