I posted a long time ago about the pain of being a Jane of All Trades. The trades I keep collecting have a collective weight that threaten to crush me. Just take a look at the list. Current Hobbies Playing piano, guitar (need to do more of that) and singing. Cooking. Photography. Photography of stuff I cooked. Blogging. Tweeting. USC Football fanatic. Pop culture fiend. TV junkie. Movie and entertainment news addict. Supporting the troops with being an Operation Paperback volunteer and gathering funds to do my own Operation Jingle All the Way annually. Thrill the World Los Angeles. Developing...

Within one week I have been to a cooking demo and wine tasting with a gaggle of girls, to hanging out with furry police dogs, to sitting in a funeral service. Thursday got me into a fun evening sponsored by Fresh&Easy. Always love it when you put girls together in a room and let the wine flow. 🙂 Sunday got me into the Orange County Police Canine Association show at the Orange County Fair. If you remember, I go to one of these every year in the fall to support our friend Steve and his canine Lycos. This year, they’ve...

“My friend is having a green wedding,” an acquaintance said. Everyone present chimed in. How cool! How exciting! Of course, being me, I piped, “Ah! Green wedding. Also known as just another wedding that cost twice as much.” “Well, they’re using all these recycled materials and stuff. You know, being really green about the whole process.” I chuckled. The acquaintance, at this point, was getting annoyed with me. “Well, she’s a very environmentally conscious person. They want their wedding to be good for the environment.” “The bride and groom and two witnesses carpooled to the courthouse and get married by...

One of those questionnaires people sent around asked, where would you want to live if you can live anywhere. My answer is “out of a suitcase, in hotel room, anywhere in the world.” Some people insist that they sleep in their own bed. I don’t seem to have that much of an attachment. I like to be somewhere else once in a while. A change of scenery during the day is one thing, but to have slept somewhere different is something else altogether. Yeah, I guess you could say I have the Travel Bug. A dormant strain, compared to many,...

My brain refuses to shut off. I am simultaneously working on plotting the route to the Port of Long Beach boat tour tomorrow, then what to take to the Long Beach Tweet Up potluck tomorrow night. Then planning a baby shower for my coworker next Saturday. Then updating my LinkedIn status and checking in on the long-abandoned MySpace. Then connecting my family with my beloved cousin who hasn’t been back to Thailand from New Zealand in YEARS. And I’m thinking about the Italian lessons I will be taking September and if I should start prepping for that with a dictionary...

Tuesday marked my first week anniversary for being a metal mouth. And I ated a cheeseburger. Oh yeah, I have a new blog set up for just that at Brace Face Chronicles. Someone questioned if I should need another blog. I would answer with one of these. Because I can just have one concentrated area to bitch and moan all about my inability to eat or the pain the braces hath brought. Because I can share the experience with other adults who are now getting their braces…or like me, getting them again for a second time. * At a recent...
