A friend* recently noticed (from a Facebook post) that I’d eaten dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse. She seemed more than a little shocked given my formerly-hippie ways (back in the day when I eschewed meat, wore all organic-cotton clothing, and grew my own veggies in my expansive compost-fertilized garden). It’s a huge change from the now-me, [...]
Belgians at Big Corona beach http://t.co/eVYqp15k # Christmas this year: 3 Remys, 3 kitties, 2 Belgians, and a whole lot of sunny weather. What could be more fun? :) # Unsurprised that no one in the local French's Bakery actually speaks french & that they have more cupcakes than loaves…& no macarons? :( # Empanadas [...]
Today is a day for a poem. You know that kind of day…when morning comes while you’re standing stocking-footed in the garden and eating greek yogurt with toasted almonds and a sprinkle of nutmeg and realizing that the rosebushes in your backyard are covered with new buds (again). And you can’t help but think that [...]

This was a mixed blessing: it allowed me space to grieve the loss of my marriage and [...]
Mitt's latest campaign strategy: http://t.co/aYmVHTWc # The first present under my tree came all the way from Australia (wow, I do love getting packages in the mail from far-off places!). :) # "Voting for a Mormon" (or not), from the Chronicle of Higher Ed: http://t.co/AwAbP4UK # Perhaps the most gorgeous sunset I've seen from a [...]
If you just happened to reach into your shoulder bag to grab your cellphone this weekend while traveling in a foreign country, and found it missing…then your heart started racing more than a little bit as you retraced your afternoon and realized that it was probably still in that coffeeshop where you’d stopped for awhile [...]
Good read: "How Doctors Die" (pretty similar to my views after having gone through cancer treatment myself) http://t.co/Rn01qFsL # Rental agency guys tell me I need a 'muscle car' while mine gets repaired. I think maybe that's because I'm carrying my #outrigger paddles. # Vasia-kitty makes purry-sweet mantle decor #awwwwww http://t.co/5kQnRj4Q # This list brings [...]
