Yesterday, Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest GOOP newsletter appeared in my inbox. I glossed over it, like I usually do when the topic isn’t food, and noticed that she was providing discounts to GOOP readers. That’s me! I scrolled down to the first offer and voila—a pair of cute sporty looking shorts. This pair could be mine … Continue reading
Last night, over a late sushi dinner with hubby, I found myself seriously distracted from my spicy tuna handroll by the Miss USA pageant. It is a pet peeve of mine to be bombarded by flat screens in restaurants. But all the same, I had trouble ignoring the bikini clad Barbies with bouffant hair framing … Continue reading
The other day my mom sent me this adorable little story about Emily flashing the boys in the schoolyard: Little Emily went home from school and told her mum that the boys kept asking her to do cartwheels because she’s very good at them. Mum said, “You should say “No” -they only want to look … Continue reading

Well, I finally made it to Eat, Pray, Love last night and though I really, truly wanted to enjoy it, I did not. The tell tale sign that I’m not digging a flick (at least here in LA) is when I start thinking about earthquakes and looking for the exit. Let me tell you, I … Continue reading
Is anyone else ready for Mercury to go direct? Yes, I follow my astrology. Man oh man what an inside out and backwards end to a week. Managed to get something lodged in my eye during a horseback riding lesson on Tuesday, which developed into a full blown eye infection by Thursday. Escaped work and … Continue reading
If I had one quarter the tenacity of a flea I would have written five books by now. The flea battle continues on the home front as doggie, despite trip to the groomer and really obnoxious use of water washing everything, still has fleas. Those fuckers really want to live. Anyway, I’m brain dead this … Continue reading
