I made the husband watch the Oscars with me. Well, at least the first hour of it before we went to bed. I told him it was like the Superbowl for women. We have to watch it. I really liked Anne Hathaway and James Franco's movie clip intro using Inception. I thought it was really cute.  But lets be real. I really only wanted to see what the ... Read More

My husband loves broccoli cheddar soup. Especially from Panera. So I set out to find a recipe to replicate it.  The problem was every recipe I found was either a) crazy complicated, or b) included ingredients that sounded terribly bad for you. Until I found this recipe on Mel's Kitchen Cafe Blog. And let me tell you, it is good. Really ... Read More

I wore this sparkle top to work last week and got a ton of compliments. I think I bought the top two years ago for a New Year's party. After rediscovering it in my closet I decided it was time to jazz it up for work. Everyone loved how sparkly I was! Even my boss said she loved it.  So can you wear sequins to work? I say yes. ...

Over the weekend the husband and I went to the boat show! Because, I guess we are in the market for a boat?  They had beer there! And beef jerky. It was like a carnival of sorts. I told the husband to go stand by the "sparkle boat". It was my favorite. There was a mini lagoon set up for demonstrations. I have no idea how they kept the water ... Read More

I wish I was the kind of girl who cooks beautiful healthy meals for her husband every night, always has a spotlessly clean house, makes it to the gym 5 days a week, always looks put together, is up to date on important world events, and always knows the right thing to say at the right moment. Instead I'm the girl that: - Feeds her husband grilled ... Read More

Have I mentioned that I love my husband? Last night he came home with these just for me.What else says "Happy Valentine's Day" like some Easter Candy? But he knows I LOVE Peeps. Especially the yellow ones. I quickly ate three of those bad boys before I remembered to snap a picture. He also bought groceries and picked out a new recipe to make for ... Read More

I'm totally going to be that mom that gets upset when her child gets an A- on his/her report card. A-, why isn't it an A+???? This is Wrigley's "report card" from doggie daycare yesterday. He always gets "Good". But not yesterday. Yesterday he got "Fair" for Playfulness. Say what? I have the most playful dog ever. What happened? The comment says ... Read More

My mom found Jack a few months ago. He was hanging around her neighborhood soaking up the California sun and scrounging food where he could get it. Being a cat lover, she took him in. He is one of the sweetest and friendliest cats she's ever had. She took him to the vet, got him updated on all of his vaccines, and took him to be neutered. When she ... Read More

I gave up on reading Water for Elephants. I got about a third of the way through it, but then just couldn't bring myself to keep going. I desperately wanted to like this book...but I just didn't. The whole time I was reading it I was on edge. I was either worried that I would have to read about any mis-treatment of animals or I ... Read More
