It took me two days to recover from the wedding this past week. I slept all the way on the drive home until we hit LA and stopped at Philippe’s for dinner then continued sleeping off and on all day Sunday. One thing I have learned and I have been sharing this advice with family and friends so they know next time ~ friends do not let friends do ‘the lawnmower’ dance under any circumstances. Anyway, with my nephew’s wedding,… [Read More]
My nephew’s wedding was beautiful. It was at the Edna Vineyards on the central coast of California. It was a true destination wedding as everyone had to travel to attend. The bride is a graduate of a university nearby and had always wished to be married there. This was one of many wishes that came true for her this day.We begin the day before for the rehearsal and the arrival of guests. A house was rented for the groomsmen… [Read More]

The destination wedding we are going to is in 2 days. It is truly in the middle of nowhere to my way of thinking. The biggest airports are either LAX or San Francisco and this location is equidistant to both. This means a long trip by car, around 6 hours. Friends have called to inform me of the traffic we will probably hit. Seems the processional to Neverland is also headed the direction we are going. I really hope we… [Read More]

I was tagged by Pink In A Sea Of Blue to list 10 things about me that people might not know. ‘Pink’ was also the winner of my give-away last week. We both have a son with the same name. I bet you didn’t know that! 🙂1. I do not get my nails ‘done’. I’m a hands on kinda gal and I’m too active to keep a manicure looking nice and I don’t like to commit to weekly appointments for… [Read More]
If your man is going to wear critters this summer…. Please, wear these … Not these! I don’t know about you but this reminds me of a subtle PSA in middle school. Theme to Deadliest Catch – “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi SHARE THIS POST:
Just once I’d like to own a pair of CL red soled shoes. I really do love these. So Audrey. Even without the kitten heal. Perfect for the destination wedding this week. And speaking of Audrey, would you like to play a little game today? If you listen to “Une Very Stylish Fille” on the sidebar or on the video, can you tell which Audrey movie the lines are from and who said them?I’m not going to tell ~ yet…. [Read More]

After all our celebrations last week I have been in an ‘after-parties-let-down funk’ and have resorted to eating mass quantities of dark chocolate and chips and salsa as college boy returned to Boston and the new graduate headed for the hills with his gf’s family to camp. Suddenly, I was faced with my first real taste of the empty nest. I hated it. To trade one vice for the other I crossed over to the dark side of retail therapy… [Read More]
