My new phone came today. It's still in the box. That's how tired I am. #iwillsleepfeb18

Someone's AT&T contract is up. So someone's getting a new phone. And someone is excited.

2012-01-31T20:00:00.001-08:00

Praying Matthew and Jennifer get to the Soho Theater before the premiere begins. Flight delays all around! Gotta love NYC!

2012-01-29T15:51:00.001-08:00

Personal Retreat at the beach...sunrise.

2012-01-29T07:02:00.001-08:00

The sunrise yesterday as I walked to work. Beautiful!

2012-01-28T18:09:00.001-08:00

Coincidence? College Roommates. Both end up in Los Angeles 20 years later. One co-writes a documentary on sperm donation that premiers in NYC on Jan. 29. The other co-writes a CSI episode on sperm donation that premiers on CBS on Jan. 29. It's crazy, Matthew Eppinette and Robert Hornak!!

2012-01-28T18:08:00.001-08:00

Matthew Eppinette will soon be off to NYC for the Premiere Showing of Anonymous Father’s Day, the documentary film that he co-wrote and produced with our friend and Executive Producer, Jennifer Lahl. The film explores the stories of women and men who are the children of sperm donors. The Premiere is at So Ho Digital Art Gallery so if you're close, go see him! I'm jealous that I'm not going!

2012-01-28T10:15:00.003-08:00

Remembering Mom today. It seems like only yesterday but it's been 14 years and I still think of her a million times a day. She was the best!

2012-01-28T08:21:00.001-08:00

It's official. A decision has been made. Cheez-Its are better than Goldfish.

2012-01-25T18:34:00.001-08:00

Found this pic...perfect for the occasion. Congrats to my big brother on his new job representing the US Dept of Interior Bureau of Land Management to ensure that companies comply with environmental regulations. I think his love for the land started all the way back here!!

2012-01-23T07:26:00.001-08:00

Scrabble Mugs

2012-01-22T08:41:00.000-08:00

I love these Scrabble mugs.

It's okay to save my calories all day just to have this, right??

2012-01-20T20:52:00.001-08:00

I got this from a colleague (as a thank you for giving him a list of all the MUSTS) who's at a conference in New Orleans. TOR.TURE. How rude. #tryingnottobejealous

2012-01-19T17:49:00.001-08:00

I am not a fair-weathered friend...you still got my love, Saints!

2012-01-14T21:41:00.001-08:00

Flower by the beach

2012-01-14T15:13:00.001-08:00

Today I will decorate 10 tables, distribute 600 posters, welcome 40 prospective students, plan 3 lunches and 2 receptions, book 2 bands, and process 25 checks. Tomorrow? I will sit on the beach and read a book. #takeadeepbreath

Tagxedo

2012-01-13T11:33:00.000-08:00

I just found what will, I'm sure, become my biggest time waster EVER!! Tagxedo let's you create your own Subway Art!! Just enter the words, change the font, color, and design. Voila! And then you can turn it into a shirt or frame or mug...oh my, what have I done!!! I did this one in 3 minutes!

Will I ever get my Christmas and New Year's photos posted?

2012-01-11T21:51:00.001-08:00

My office smells like someone has been giving perms in here all night.

2012-01-11T07:51:00.001-08:00

This sign is on our condo gate. I have so many questions about it. But first, did you lose your monkey??

2012-01-10T12:34:00.001-08:00

Contemplating Timeline. Putting off the inevitable. Do you like it or have any tips?

2012-01-09T22:16:00.001-08:00

2012-01-09T17:33:00.001-08:00

I made it. I made it. They are taking votes whether to turn off music and turn on the game sound. Uh, YES!!!!

Here's hoping I get off work in time to see kick off!

2012-01-09T12:32:00.001-08:00

Kinda looks like a spaceship just landed.

2012-01-08T23:21:00.001-08:00

Christmas put away...Mardi Gras up!

2012-01-08T13:43:00.001-08:00

How do you find a hidden ornament in a tree? It's in there. I know it is...I have the empty box. But I can't find it.

2012-01-07T13:00:00.001-08:00

With "guests" coming tomorrow, I feel as if I should take down Christmas decorations. Why is putting them up so much fun and taking them down not so much?

2012-01-07T10:14:00.001-08:00

The new Gmail really, really, really bothers me.

2012-01-05T19:16:00.001-08:00

It's 88 degrees and I love it! I'm so thankful.

2012-01-04T14:10:00.001-08:00

Coming back to work = Not Bad. Coming back to Inbox = Bad.

2012-01-03T17:05:00.001-08:00

2012-01-02T22:42:00.001-08:00

And just like that, the house is empty again...so sad. But so glad family could be here! #itssoquiet

I was so upset to read that marshmallow and tortilla throwing is not allowed. But it seems that some disobeyed the rules and brought them anyway! It's gonna take more than our average rain to clean up the smashed marshmallows!

2012-01-02T13:59:00.002-08:00

Our street...glad we live close and don't have to sit in this!

2012-01-02T13:59:00.000-08:00

It's here!

2012-01-02T08:10:00.001-08:00

I'm one of 700,000 waiting on the Rose Parade. I think all of them are on my row.

Waiting...

2012-01-02T07:50:00.001-08:00

Barely peeking over...soon to be cheese dip!

2012-01-01T13:50:00.001-08:00

Oh no...

2012-01-01T13:05:00.001-08:00

He's melting.

2012-01-01T12:11:00.001-08:00

The New Year's snowman has started melting.

2012-01-01T11:46:00.001-08:00

2012-01-01T00:37:00.001-08:00

It's here! Happy 2012!!

I'm on Air Force One.

2011-12-31T14:20:00.001-08:00

I'm in the Oval Office.

Who dat?!?!?

Excited to continue Christmas Holiday celebrations as we head out to pick up Allysia Smith Eppinette and Paul Eppinette at the airport!!

2011-12-25T19:15:00.001-08:00

My new napkin rings. I love them!

2011-12-25T13:21:00.001-08:00

I think we win for the best Christmas Day weather.

2011-12-25T12:45:00.001-08:00

The Christmas Eve Table is set.

2011-12-24T20:27:00.001-08:00

Watched old family movies last night. My brother's life was much more interesting once I came along. #stylishsiblings and #istillhavethatpurse

2011-12-24T20:26:00.000-08:00

Easy Cheeeeese, of course, is on the menu for Festivus.

2011-12-23T18:58:00.000-08:00

Happy Festivus! Our Festivus Pole is up with our grievances aired. Later tonight...feats of strength.

2011-12-23T16:54:00.001-08:00

Coastal Living's View of the Day....Ahhhhh...

2011-12-23T10:37:00.001-08:00

Christmas in SoCal

2011-12-22T19:32:00.001-08:00

I see ocean.

2011-12-22T18:05:00.001-08:00

2011-12-22T11:36:00.001-08:00

I see snow.

Once again, M wins Husband of the Year award...taking me to see the taping of The Voice tonight. There's probably a lot of other places he'd rather be! #19/19

2011-12-20T14:53:00.001-08:00

2011-12-19T20:31:00.001-08:00

Monkey pancakes for breakfast, prosciutto-wrapped melon and pumpkin tortellini for dinner...with my husband of 19 years. Happy Anniversary, Honey! #19/19

2011-12-19T13:20:00.001-08:00

I'm going into Target. If you don't hear from me in 3 hours, send help.

2011-12-18T18:14:00.001-08:00

Love is...takeout pizza and staying up to the wee hours testing out a new-to-us TV series on Netflix. #19/19

Don't let that Usher catch me taking a photo!

2011-12-17T20:47:00.003-08:00

Don't let that Usher catch me taking a photo!

2011-12-17T20:47:00.001-08:00

Glad I didn't wear mine like that...woulda been embarrassing to have on the same outfit!

2011-12-17T19:07:00.001-08:00

They don't have the red carpet out for me like they do for all those Oscar nominees! I guess I shoulda called ahead.

2011-12-17T15:06:00.001-08:00

Off to the first 19/19 Celebration: IRIS Cirque du Soleil, the history of cinema.

Today begins the 19/19 celebration. 19 years ago on Dec. 19, I married the bestest man in the world!

2011-12-17T10:52:00.001-08:00

I can't NOT post this!

2011-12-16T09:26:00.001-08:00

2011-12-15T10:39:00.001-08:00

Some days you just need to go back to bed. And most days you can't!

TV cameras

2011-12-11T14:41:00.001-08:00

It's payback time. Since my man has so generously been to numerous singing competition tapings with me, we're going to see Top Gear USA. ("Featuring super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews...") Since I know nothing about cars, I will try not to ask too many questions. I'll just smile and nod. And then maybe I can help them figure out how to add in a little singing! ;o)

2011-12-11T10:47:00.001-08:00

2011-12-10T12:04:00.001-08:00

Here's hoping everyone is at the mall and not the grocery store.

This photo is not edited...there's a halo around the moon tonight.

2011-12-09T23:43:00.001-08:00

Today is mom's birthday. I bet the birthday song sounds pretty amazing in Heaven.

2011-12-09T08:22:00.001-08:00

Found oolong tea!!!

2011-12-08T18:01:00.001-08:00

I intended to turn on the faucet. Instead I plugged in my curling iron. I only realized it several minutes later when I couldn't figure out why the water wasn't on. #longroughday

2011-12-07T19:25:00.001-08:00

This is the day I'd like a Carolina Honey Tea from Argo Tea. Friends in Chicago and New York, please go and have one for me!

2011-12-07T11:05:00.001-08:00

It's always interesting to watch the attire of students as the quarter progresses. It's Finals week...we're lucky to get anything other than pj pants and flip flops!!

2011-12-06T10:48:00.001-08:00

Today calls for a Christmas mug of delicious cocoa.

2011-12-05T21:25:00.001-08:00

In the mail...why must they torture us?

2011-12-05T19:39:00.001-08:00

First attempt at making something I saw on Pinterest. Not optimistic. At all.

2011-12-04T17:54:00.001-08:00

Anyone want a 2 for $10 subscription to Coastal Living? Great deal. I can send you the code.

2011-12-04T15:54:00.001-08:00

Dreidel dog toy?

2011-12-04T12:53:00.001-08:00

Another successful Craig's List sale...Huzzah!

2011-12-03T21:02:00.001-08:00

Someone got a Christmas tree!

2011-12-03T18:26:00.001-08:00

So according to my FB albums, blog, website and iPhoto album, Christmas 2006 did not exist. What?! Then I checked our Guest Book and there are NO entries for 2006. Does anyone remember seeing us in 2006 or were we abducted by aliens that year?

2011-12-03T12:42:00.001-08:00

Prosciutto wrapped arugula...not your normal Monday night football fare...deee-lish PLUS I get to see the Saints!

2011-11-28T10:43:00.001-08:00

Trying to find a place to watch the Saints tonight...not succeeding.

I will never tire of this view.

2011-11-25T16:59:00.001-08:00

Hello, Mr. George Hamilton Turkey

2011-11-24T16:53:00.000-08:00

The table is set!

2011-11-24T14:35:00.001-08:00

Bye-Bye, Mr. Turkey!

2011-11-24T14:19:00.001-08:00

2011-11-23T22:21:00.001-08:00

Hitting the road. Radio show accompanying us on our trip tonight: songs about birds. First song? Jive Turkey.
I wonder about the others. Are there really that many?
