Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

Do you ever have those months where every single weekend is jam packed with stuff? Well, that has been my family's life this past month. I'm not complaining, we are just BUSY. Hubs has been off of work for the past few weeks but he hasn't been sitting around. He has been busy with projects around the house during his in-between HOUSE WIVES gigs. He just went back to work today on ORANGE COUNTY which is starting it's 10th season. I headed into work this morning not knowing where the week is going to take me. It might very well be the end for my start up company. The good news is that my little family is happy. We've been lucky to make some new friends with people whose kids are in Penny's swim class and who, coincidentally live down the street from us. We have been having playdates here and there and this past weekend we all went out to a kid friendly brew pub for some food and libations. Did I mention they have a killer pretzel mac and chess bowl t...

Caught up with our friends, the Pierces for a Sunday afternoon full of tea. I bought one of those Groupons and sometimes you never know what you are going to get but this one didn't disappoint. We had so much tea we could practically float home! It was Penny and Dave's first tea and I think both had an enjoyable time. Verona brought her big floppy pink hat which we somehow got Penny to try on for a picture or two. She was quick to throw it to the found as soon as the camera was put away. In addition to great tea, they had these gigantic scones with cream and strawberries. I didn't even need the mini sandwiches, I could have just eaten a platter full of scones! Penny had fun drinking water out of her little tea cup while the adults cautiously looked on preparing for her to push the cup off the table. But luckily, she was a good little girl and there was no broken china at our table that day. It always amazes me when they bring out the 3-tiered tray how much food i...

I have Moses to thank for all the great people in my life. I really do! When I was pregnant I used to walk Moses around the neighborhood to get exercise (I still do). That is when I met 5 ladies who also had dogs, who also happened to be pregnant. We all got together and formed a mommy club as a result. Ironically, we all had girls around the same time. And those girls are all 3 years old now! Two of the girls were born a few days apart so their moms throw them a joint birthday party this past weekend at Griffith Park. Complete with pony rides. Here is a picture of the girls all grown up. What trouble are they going to cause us a few years from now? :)

Moses and I's better half ditch us for Disneyland again with the girl, so we are doing what every mother and fur-baby do...eating pizza and sipping cocktails and watching trashy soap operas. Mo is stunned by the recent events on the Bold and the Beautiful.

Ran into Marky Mark in the elevator. I'm taller than him even with his hat on.

Penny has just discovered Siri...I'm dying laughing.

This cracks me up!

I think, in my old age of nearly 40, I am turning into Mrs. Kravitz. Remember that crazy lady from Bewitched? Or perhaps not. I'm always amazed that there are people out there that don't know what Star Wars is let alone a reference from Bewitched. Simply said the world is starting to bother me like it bothered crotchty Mrs Kravitz. I joined this neighbor social site called Nextdoor. It is like Facebook for your neighbors. Instead of "Like" there is "Thank." Similar yet different.  If you thought Facebook was full of complainers you should get on Nextdoor! There is all kinds of complaing on this site and they take it to another level. Moreover, if someone doesn't like what you say, they can report your comment as inappropriate which someone did to me today hence, my foul mood. My bad, I decided to jump in a conversation about dog poop. I happened to make a Forrest Gumplike comment of "Shit happens" when I get an email from the administrator. ...

Some days…I feel like this…especially on Monday's.
