If the destructive duo weren’t sharing the same 1100 sq feet as me (that’s Otie and Dee) I’d do our whole tree in white ceramic ornaments. This one was $4 at Target. {Nails are Yodel Me On My Cell by Opi.} Yesterday we picked up our Tree – and for some reason Scott got all Griswald-y and decided that we… Read more →

Some Small Business Gift Guidance.
Small business Saturday is such a nice break between crazy-ass Black Friday, and bandwidth-breaking Cyber Monday. Do you find yourself wondering: “But HOW can I support small businesses?” {Just…humor me.} Never fear, friends and lurkers, I am here to give you a few ideas of how my personal pockets are lined. First and foremost, this time of year, think about… Read more →
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
Raincoat by Hatley Little Kid Wellies by Hunter (also available in adult sizes…and embossed snakeskin…rowr.) Brelli Biodegradable Umbrella (in Kids and Adult sizes.) Also look at this one, which is so pretty. And this one which reminds me of my umbrella as a kid. It’s raining. Which means I’m happy. It’s the coziest weather we get here in the ye… Read more →
Where the Fuck Do I Start?
We’re not super fucking psyched over here. [And FYI – LOOK WHO’S TALKING kind of totally RULES. My sometimes-writing-partner-always-friend Eric took it as a bad thing when I said an idea was kind of “Look Who’s Talking-y”this week. Dude, I don’t know what people are on about with Pulp Fiction – Amy Heckerling totally gave John Travolta his comeback.] But… Read more →
Fall
I don’t know why I couldn’t wake up this first day of fall feeling chipper and raring to go. But I didn’t. I woke up feeling stupid and clumsy and shitty. I had a panic attack before breakfast. Yesterday, I went and put my big foot in my mouth on the internet. You can’t take that shit back. It’s… Read more →
Cool or Crazy? Plus John Legend & Sade in a Box.
Like, a super sweet suite box: Thanks to Jen and Barb of Mom Life for the invite. It’s rad when fellow working Moms recognize each other and treat each other to nice things. I really can’t thank Jen and Barb enough for this much needed break. But first, before spending an evening in a fancy-ass box at Staples Center drinking wine… Read more →
I think Dee & I are in a Fight.
She refuses to acknowledge my presence in this photograph. Elmo? Cookie? Abby? No prob. Mommy? Who the ef is that b*tch? And all because I met her obsession Elmo AND my obsession Kevin Clash all in one sitting. Not to mention the ray of sunshine that is Leslie Carrara (aka Abby Cadabby, Dee’s absolute girl crush, and now mine too)… Read more →
Wild Thing, Keep Your Hooker-y Paws off My Baseball Team.
You know it’s not far off from what Dodger Stadium might look like if the MASHEEN went and bought himself the beloved LA Doyers. {That is a fake link – Charlie Sheen is NOT encapsulating his blood in pill form for mass distribution – I mocked that little ditty up for April fools on Twitter, but see? I told you Bo.lt… Read more →
Oh, Carmageddon: Up Yours
If you follow anyone who lives anywhere near Los Angeles in any fashion on this big bad internet (or, from what I understand about signs up North, anyone on the West Coast in general) then surely the phrase “Carmageddon” has not escaped your virtual ears. Maybe even your real ears, if you watch the news. Here’s the deal: Back in… 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 →
