I’ve told you about the 2010 Baby Boom with all the friends and their babies coming in this year. But I don’t think there are enough babies to go around for Easter… On that note, the Boom has begun: March 19: Zachary arrived a little early for J.C. & Erick and Big Brother Joshua. March 24: Chloe arrived a little late for Aurora & James and Big Brother Dresden. March 25: Conor arrived on cue for Irena & Danny, first time parents! Next up… April 17: a girl, first for Lynda & Sean May 27: a girl, first for Olaina...

There have been more than one occasions when my bus buddies and I, the last group to get on the bus heading for Downtown LA, would get on our “full” bus to find this. When I say our bus is full, it means there maybe just enough seats for the last 3-4 of us to sit down and then that’s it. This guy here would sit just like this with his lunch on the seat. He would WATCH us scan for seats and not move a muscle. Until we go up to him to ask him for the seat, he...

I went to my college friend’s wedding yesterday. I knew she is religious and as I received the invitation, I found out that he is too. It’s a match made by God, essentially. I have been to many weddings: a full mass in beautiful cathedral and Christian-light ceremony which I really don’t mind. I’ve been to the we-made-our-own-tradition, and this-ain’t-about-God/gods ones, and those are usually quite fun. But this one totally takes the Holy Roller cake. It’s a little bit frightening when every sentence of the introduction of the ceremony had either God or Jesus Christ in it. And then...

10 weeks. 1 accidental egg. I think I’m doing pretty good! Breakfast: A tall decaf Americano with half-and-half, Sugar in the Raw, and Caramel Sauce…not syrup. And YES, I like my coffee like my men: tall, decaf Americano, white and sweet topped with caramel sauce. 😉  I was too stressed out to eat anything else that morning. However, lunch came at me fast. . Lunch: The Vegan Spicy Soyrizo & Black Bean Wrap from Mendocino Farms in my building. The place gets PACKED very quickly so by 11:45 I was already ordering. . Dinner: Homemade French Onion soup from...
