Who knew frosting could be so funny! CakeWrecks.blogspot.com … is a blog where people send in professionally decorated cakes that have ‘gone horribly and hilariously wrong.’ What makes this blog over the top are the witty and sassy comments by Jen, the blog author. Some fan favorites : “The Flash Drive”; “Hey Beheh”; “The Sexual Harrassment Cake” Thanks to my wonderful niece, Mizz, who has the greatest sense of humor and for knowing I would get such a kick out… [Read More]

I saw this beauty yesterday in the LV store. It was calling my name – in French even!It was iridescent like the vinyl of a vintage car’s back seat just pleading with me to hop in and be bad. For close to $900 I couldn’t be that bad even for a bag. Ever. I found this knock off for $239 and although I know it doesn’t have that hypnotic allure of the real LV, I’d be happy to take her… [Read More]
I’m sure you’ve heard about the NY Times columnist who is accused of plagiarism from picking up a quote from a blogger. This comes on the same day I found someone using a photo of mine taken from my blog. It is okay with me because the photo is insignificant but it took me quite by surprise. It got me to wondering though- should the creative writings and original photographs of bloggers be protected or is everything up for grabs… [Read More]
Today was a day for a few firsts. In Laguna, it was the first time I had been there for lunch as I prefer going there for dinner to watch the sunset. It was the first time I had been to K’ya on top of the Casa de Camino hotel. It was the first time I have had a Salade Nicoise. It was the first time I had seen or tasted caper berries that were on stems and as big… [Read More]
I had a lovely day with Lady Kate. Lady Kate was my room mate in college in the sorority house. She was, and still is, a morning person and I was…uh…not. She would throw open the curtains in the morning and chirp, “Good Morning”. I hated that. I talked on the phone until late at night and would pull the cord into the hallway to try to be quiet but I wasn’t too successful. She hated that. We never quarreled… [Read More]

I think technology can definitely be a double edged sword. No new idea here. Since finding the blogging world in January I have reset my priorities. I get up earlier and spend the first few hours catching up on my east coast blogging sisters until I decide I better get into the shower and get on with my day. I am thankful I have a new and exciting creative outlet and have connected to other women all over the world… [Read More]
I have no idea why I am regressing to my childhood this week.Perhaps I am feeling insecure starting a new diet that I know will be challenging for me. I just wish I could wiggle my nose…. Thursday night was my favorite TV night because Bewitched was on. I always thought if I could be like Samantha I could get Tony Tumasone to love me, my homework would be magically done and I’d have straight hair. That was all I… [Read More]
I will be beginning Nurti-System this week for the family wedding season so of course I am craving all that I cannot have like a big box of Trix that I literally have not eaten in at least 10 years if not more. This was my favorite cereal growing up and I can still feel what is was like waking up at the crack of noon on Saturday and filling up my bowl with the flavorful corn puffs that would… [Read More]
