Thinking about pilates? Here’s a good deal for those in the North County: Half-off 10 pilates lessons at a Carlsbad studio.

The Bathing Suit Saga Continued
Yesterday’s post raised some interesting body image questions for me. I thought I’d come pretty far from the below (re-posted from March 2008 for your reference and laughs), but maybe I haven’t? What I know is that I feel unhealthy and I want THAT to change, whatever my body looks like in the end. …Continue Reading
I’m in a Bathing Suit. Enough Said. (Week One)
I’ve been very unhealthy the last two years. Not taking my vitamins, drinking all the time, eating a proliferation of cheeses. I kind of buried my head in the sand with it all because that’s easy to do when you’re busy and working all the time. I have to admit that I’ve completely ignored the…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #156: The Easiest PROMPTuesday Ever in EverEverLand
Tonight I plan to take my friend out for her birthday, a feat that is amazing considering the scheduling back-and-forths of five other people. Because see, my friend’s birthday was last Monday. Last LAST Monday. But what matters is that we finally did it! God stars sprinkle from the heavens! At any rate, we will…Continue Reading
Look What I Found!
My youngest is going to kindergarten in the Fall, and I’ve been lamenting the slick passage of time that slips by without a sound. Then I came across this: “MaaaaaaMaaaaaaaaa!” Booger wailed it from her crib this morning. I prayed, as I pulled the covers over my ears. Sometimes, she’s a one-hit morning shouter…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #155: Former Life
In this day and age of Facebook, I thought I’d ask a possibly relevant question: Have you ever received a letter/email/friend request from a former lover? (This can be fictionalized) Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments. …Continue Reading
Weird Celeb Encounter, The End
Part One Here Despite the self-importance of the guys who approached Carolyn and I, the tallest looked like a hobo. Long curly hair twisted and fell into his decidedly past-40 eyes, sandals encased his feet, and a rumpled t-shirt and baggy shorts completed the shabby shab look. His pal looked just like Teller, and…Continue Reading
Weird Celeb Encounter
When I first lived in Los Angeles during the early ’90s, my colleague Carolyn and I often met after work for a drink. We usually convened at a bistro-type joint on Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills, a mecca it turned out for celebs looking for a casual, anonymous dinner. As such, the two of us…Continue Reading
Storyteller, Again
I’m posting this again! Because it’s still pertinent! And because my brain is still rumbling over the words to describe my celebrity encounter, which is coming next… She runs inside to where I am at the sink, washing the endless dishes. I hear her fling her shoes off and soon she’s before me…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #154: Celebrity Encounter
Pretty self-explanatory, right? My new pal Surfer Wife writes these celeb encounters so deliciously you ask for extra blueberry syrup on her outrageous prose pancake. That didn’t sound proper in the least. As for me, I lived in Los Angeles for several years and you better believe I got some stories. Coming soon,…Continue Reading
Rise Again: A Bit of a Primer for a Depression Lift
YEP. Yep, yep, yep. I’m having a hard time. A very hard time. I can’t put it any more plain than that. Or more eloquently. It hasn’t been easy this year, and certain events and circumstances triggered some lowness in me. So. I am posting something I received from my brother today. If anyone is…Continue Reading
Emerge From the Mist
{This is my PROMPTuesday post.} Gut laughs come rarely these days. Those hold-your-stomach, ache-y-in-a-good-way, from-the-soul laughs that used to be so common when we both had perms and ate candy corn for breakfast. You made me laugh in that rollicking, raw way. Day after day, minute to minute, we riffed on each other’s…Continue Reading
