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 →
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 →
Has anybody seen my can opener?
I’ve written and unwritten bits and pieces of things I think about this issue time and time again. I’m a Southern California liberal progressive (if we’re putting “labels” on things), so I know what kind of eye rolls I illicit when I share my thoughts on Health Insurance outside of the safety of my like-minded social circles. But my nineteen… Read more →
PurgeDayThursday on Monday…Again.
Look, it’s a series about me needing to get my shit together. I make no excuses for my tardiness beyond that. But I do still really want you guys to join me on this journey. Link up, okay lurkers? We’ve de-cluttered the dining room a bit and our table has become the family hub again. {Can I get a woot… Read more →
Ding Dong.
I recently came across this old temple newsletter my Dad had pinned to a bulletin board and I was kind of waiting for September to share it with you. But…tonight seems as good a time as any, right? I’ve never written about my experience on September 11th 2001; at the time I was a 20-year-old NYU student living about a… Read more →
Hi.
Hi friends. Have you bought Lullabies for Getty yet? I don’t mean to be annoying. It’s just that…Getty Storm is a real little girl fighting a real fight. Her family is real. Her struggle is real. Her Mom, Kate? Looks just like Getty when she laughs ~ they have the same nose crinkle. When I… Read more →
Wow.
via Creativity Cards. Yesterday when I said the internet was magic? I didn’t even really get it at all. Only now, MAYBE, I think I’m starting to sort of understand just what an incredible community of people these fiber optics connect. I mean, the internet made Lullabies for Getty possible. So there’s that. And then yesterday it launched. First my… Read more →
Happy Birthday Getty Owl
Miss Getty. I wish you knew how many people out in this big world care about you, and are wishing you the happiest of happy birthdays as you turn one today. We’re working out butts off over here (especially Angela) to get your album ready, the birthday present we’ve all been so excited to give you. Soon it will go on… Read more →
I Think Our Parents Might Need Our Help.
As you may know – four days a week my Mom, aka Grandma Margie, is here hanging with Dee and me so I can get work done. And, well…yesterday Grandma was feeling quite badly for having sent a few of her nearest and dearest “free movie tickets” via HomeRun.com (which, for what it’s worth, isn’t a scam or anything…it just… Read more →
