We’re officially “off” and on our way to Orlando as of this morning. While the weather doesn’t look like it’ll be much of a treat, it will be nice to getaway and play for a week. I’m hoping the exercise we’ll get from walking will offset the consumption of sugary goodness and other gastronomically [...]
Need a bag for any reason? Laptop? Luggage? Umm…. pencils??? Casauri is having a 60% off Valentine’s Day sale that ends today (coupon code: LUV60) on everything on their website. I own the spiffy blue laptop bag above… it got me through graduate school with an extra bit of fun, and I always got [...]
I was still pushing and prodding these flowers into shape late into the day… but hopefully I found my luck with arranging them shortly before our big event began yesterday. I donated some of my early morning time and headed to a local floral wholesaler to brighten up the room with some flowers. I [...]
Did I mention the other day that I had purchased a few of those ridiculously long/cheap shirts at The Gap to use to make t-shirts? So that means I need to be creative and use whatever craft time I can find during this week to finish up my strange little goal.
So here’s t-shirt design [...]
On Sunday, after we went to the zoo, we stopped by the local Japanese market for a bit of fun shopping. While we could have stocked up on sushi wrappers, sauces, sushi-grade fish, noodles and such, we grabbed silly snacks instead. I couldn’t bare to leave without some Super Lemons (my [...]
They just released the schedule for summer stock at the California Musical Theatre, and I’m ridiculously happy that two of my favorite shows made it into the mix (Guys & Dolls and Into the Woods). Mr. M has already enjoyed a few of them on Broadway, as you can see from a small [...]
I think I’ve found a quick answer to our “lack of color” dilemma in our master bathroom: MIBO tile tattoos. Our master bath is the same color as the rest of our house (Dunn Edwards Cochise), and while recently we spiffed it up by adding 2 new towel racks, it’s [...]
Remember how I said that I was going to create some shirts for our Disney trip? Well, I invested in some oh-so-expensive Gap stretch shirts ($3.99 for super comfy cotton!) for my experiments and got to work!
Adventure #1: Bleach Pen!
First, I picked out a bold b/w graphic that I wanted to use: [...]
On Sunday, since the rain had magically disappeared from both the sky and the weather forecast, Mr. M and I headed over for an early morning trip to the Zoo.
I can say with certainty that we were probably the only guests without small children to walk around the [...]
While it may not look like any sort of baking/cooking masterpiece, I can guarantee you that there’s nothing more delicious for dinner than a sugary-covered, lovely bastilla.
I had endured a craving for quite awhile now, as it was an old LA-restaurant favorite (Sunnin in Westwood) that wasn’t available around the corner anymore. [...]
how to end a long long rainy week on a good note:
1) cook up a hot pot of broccoli chowder on the stove to warm the belly & heart
2) drink down a glass of cold red wine sangria and unwind like it’s a hot summer’s day
…. and… enjoy the weekend to [...]
This afternoon, I visited Ticketmaster’s website with a general curiosity as to how much Super Bowl tickets were selling for in this lovely fiscal climate.
And I quickly got my answer…
Tickets in Section 329 (THE tippy TOP), Row Z (probably the last row, unless there’s AA or something) = $1552 each.
Lovely. [...]
