It’s day 5. I feel like a human pin cushion. I had my first official cry the whole car ride back from the doctor to the pharmacy. Maybe it was Pink Floyd on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Maybe it’s the hormones. Maybe it is because I now may not be able to go through with the procedure after today’s ultrasound. I attended a funeral this week, … Continue reading Hugs, not more Drugs – Eggs on Ice, Day 5
I spent a hot, steamy, schmoggy filled LA morning fighting July 3 traffic to wind my way up to the Griffith Park Observatory in search of the recently placed Japanese style teahouse in the canyons. Happy my friend cut and paste the directions onto his phone because the 4th set of directions went along the lines of “Stop when the 5 dirt paths converge, take … Continue reading Griffith Park Teahouse sends Wishes to LA
I had dreamed by this age I would have 3 boys and a kind, caring husband, one that was responsible and trustworthy along with fit and handsome. I envisioned teaching my children tennis and reading to them each night as they smiled in awe as I made each character have a different voice (like I did for 17 years in third grade). I saw us … Continue reading Putting my Eggs on Ice

The guy in my yoga class said he often has two buns. Buntastic! Well, whether you … Continue reading LA ManBuns #Swoon

Due to the hustle and bustle of the touristy Santa Monica pier, I had not stepped foot on the pier in some time. I was curious to check out this seafood restaurant called The Albright, established in 1977 right on the pier on the left hand side. After getting knocked by one too many strollers and kids, I contemplated my desire to ever want children, but … Continue reading The Albright: Eating Lobster with a Vegan
I am not a wine expert, but I am a wine enthusiast. So, it was fitting that Wine Enthusiast magazine sponsored LA’s La Nuit en Rose. The rosé had me feeling quite rose-y this past Sunday at the sexy Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood. Guests mingled from one station bar to another sipping at least ten shades of rosé at 14 different bars with multiple blends at each … Continue reading Rosé Day in LA

At the top of these private apartments in a historical building in Koreatown, we sat down to share dinner with an intimate crew in a small room, after cocktail (or water) hour in another quaint room nearby.
