This weekend has been one of the longer ones I had in a while. Don’t get me wrong, I still had just 2 days like everyone else, but it felt like a week. I guess when you helped others, pampered yourself, and did things you love, it was just as rewarding as a weekend away on a vacation. It’s hard to belief that I voluntarily rolled out of bed at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, but I did. I was up to bake chocolate croissants to take over to my friend Greg’s garage sale fundraiser for his very first AIDS...

All of us survived the Oscars Marathon. Olaina and I actually stayed for all five. There was a good 45 minutes break between Ben Button and Slumdog Millionaire. We all had a wonderful time. I still like Slumdog Millionaire best. An FB friend raised a question of Slumdog being overrated and that there are better screenplays out there that should win. I agree with him on that. Lord knows how the Academy votes this year. Are they looking at the craftsmanship? That case, Benjamin Button should take the cake for the epic scale. Screenplay and directing? Perhaps Frost/Nixon should win...

It’s over. My big event is all done. Hellooooo, normal life! Kind of. I have next week to get content to our web people and we need to launch that puppy at the end of next month. But today, I will wrap up other things and will lunch at Drago Centro. Yep. Treating myself to a Dine LA menu as a celebration of having managed a sold-out event and having been with the Office for 4 years. I’ve also been blogging a little prolifically at the food blog since I started to remember to pick up my camera when I...

I technically haven’t been “home” since Monday. Work has been driving me bonkers with how crazy busy it’s been. I got home on Monday for 5 minutes and Brandon whisked me off to see “Taken”. Holy crap, Liam Neeson is scary. He really did carry the movie. If it was somebody else, that movie would not have been that good. But I digress. Tuesday was Spamalot night. I didn’t get home until 8 p.m. Brandon was nursing a stress/sinus headache when I got home so we just went to bed. Wednesday was yoga night. Brandon finally was available to go...

I was on the couch most of the day yesterday. Oddly enough, it was quite a productive afternoon. I haven’t quite gotten caught up with all my magazines. I would leave them on my little side table/cabinet by the couch so I can read them when I plop down. However, the Man of the House doesn’t like seeing stuff on there (even though he generally sits on the other side of the couch), so he would put them in the cabinet. Since I don’t see the magazines there, I forget about them. Until the newest one arrives in the mail...

I had a feeling I might have done this before but for the life of me, I can’t find it on the blog. I guess if I can’t remember, then it never really happened. Since I got tagged bajillion times on Facebook for this, and for some reason I’m not even tired, here’s my random 25. I’m ambidextrous. Sort of. Think I was born a lefty but then was made to use my right hand. I write with my right. Shoot hoops and pick up heavy stuff with my left. I bat left because as a lefty forced to play...
