I feel like I’m going to burst into flames. California heat is a dry, desert heat. Unlike the environment I grew up in of staggering humid heat, CA heat will suck you dry without you even knowing it. So, to hang out in a hot, inland California day, one must hydrate herself…with water. Not mead. Sunday, we went to Renaissance Pleasure Faire and had a grand time. So grand in fact, that I didn’t think to drink much water through out the day in the sun and heat. Instead, I was sipping my wee little cup of ice cold mead....

I don’t watch NFL. Could never get into it. But now I have 3 reasons why I will start following NFL this upcoming years. 1. My Dreamboat dweller Matt Leinart will play for AZ Cardinals. 2. Lendale White, the Thunder, will play for Tennessee Titans with USC’s mortal enemy, Vince Young. 3. Reggie Bush will be whistling dixie with New Orleans Saints. So, okay. I don’t know much about the NFL and the whole drafting process. From what I’ve read, Matty was supposed to go to the Titans or NY Jets and Reggie to Texas. The theory on Matty accordingly...

I had dinner with my friends Melissa and Jen last night at Jen’s house. Melissa is a good friend from high school who has moved away to Boonytown, IL after getting married a few years ago.

You see, Jen was my best friend from high school through college. We were tight. I went with her family on a road trip to visit her relatives in Texas...

I truly am solar powered. I did wake up and leave the house feeling pretty good. Alert and awake. The sun was peaking through the clouds as it made its way up the sky. The weather was crisp. Damn near dancing down the streets to the music on my new favorite MP3 player, Sandisk Sansa. As the bus headed up toward LA, the clouds got thicker and the lights dimmed. The bus was suddenly warm and comfy. And I nodded off. All over the place. As in my head was bobbing back, forward, left and right. And I couldn’t keep...

I had strawberries and chocolate milk for dinner last night. Because I wanted it. And because I can. 3 weeks in a row now that I went down to Downtown farmers market and NOT wanting my absolutely most favorite bacon-wrapped hotdog. I mean, it smells great. I was right there, but I just didn’t want it. And here I am. It’s 12:13. I’m hungry. But nothing sounds good to eat. Nothing. What the hell????...

Look what Amy got me!! Amy and her family had a huge garage sale over the weekend, and the boys were getting rid of some of their toys. These Monsters Inc. figurines showed up. Amy, who had contributed a few Star Wars toys to my desk in the past, didn’t know what these were for but figured I’d like them. So she saved them for me. And who knew, we end up with THE OakMonster. ;-D...
