i anticipated to awake in a rage. fists in the air, ready to scrap with puppies, the elderly, the angels, and whomever else wanted to butter my hurting heart. that bastard cancer has devoured another loved one. and, AGAIN, last week i received the infuriating news that one of my idols, truly a girl-crush {though [...]

  i want! i want! i want! mary jo matsumoto’s naked-state-of-mind soft tote is the sweetest baby pink, and truly is “butter soft.” i have two in this shape already, and they come all over the map with me; snagging compliments and snapshots where ever we go. how can a girl not have pink?   and how [...]

this last week was a baby jubilee! hunkiest and i were doused in boy-baby madness with the arrival of two of our best friends’ handsome sons. on thursday, rogan, aka “mr.smiles-while-breathing-sleeping-eating-and charming the pantaloons off all within a 20 foot vicinity,” came to stay with us for 5-tickle-me-happy days. mmm. nothing like hearing a baby’s [...]

scenes {binges} from a weekend….

January 21st, 2013 · No Comments · Diet, emotional eating, friends

  like most of my misadventures in nutrition and portion control, what starts out innocently, for example a friday night forehead to forehead celebration of the ice cream sandwich, pre-empted with a two hour-plus tribute to pasta with pesto; ends with my puffy, carbo-loaded face, hung in shame as i recount my lack of poise, [...]

just when my tuesday couldn’t get any sweeter, my georgia peach of a friend, danielle, gifted me this cali-friendly pendant. just 3 hours ’round the neck, and i’ve already received compliments to keep my daily insecurities at bay. talk about making me forget about that jar of peanut butter i made out with last night.  [...]

yesterday in yoga as i reached my left arm skyward, like a sun thirsty bamboo stalk, i felt so jubilant i practically glowed fluorescent. stridently transitioning from pose to pose, with protractor attention to form and rumi-like rapture on our spirits, this was not your “i whip my hair back and forth” yoga flow i typically [...]

in the words of neil diamond, “hello my friend, hello.” i’ve had a technological imposed vacation away from y’all where i filled my time with toffee consumption-that’s with a {T} and i’m talking 12oz boxes at a sitting, and booty shaking—that’s with a {B} and i’m talking sasha fierce!  i am sitting here on fantastic news. news i [...]

thanksgiving: ✔ christmas: ✔ new years? come to mama boys; let’s get this show on the road. i’ve been in the fast lane to 2013 since june, practically indifferent to various turnpikes and exits promising adventure and hoopla. my music is loud and the beat is hard. an old, black t-shirt with ripped off sleeves kind [...]
