The Facebook Diet

No one needs a Facebook Diet more than me. I blame it on living alone. It’s what you do when you wake up, go to bed, or are standing in line bored. Did you know single people spend more time on Facebook and post more than people who are coupled? Recently, I was given The Facebook Diet (50 Funny Signs of Facebook Addiction and Ways … Continue reading The Facebook Diet

Hugs, not more Drugs – Eggs on Ice, Day 5

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

Griffith Park Teahouse sends Wishes to LA

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
