I love stuff! I always have and I always will. Minimalism does not appeal to me. Stuff I really love includes: clothes, shoes, purses, books,magazines, furniture. Sometimes I feel like all I do is consume. There will always be something else I want or “need” to buy. It’s true that I am an avid and […]

Back to Normal
Things are back to normal. My mother, brother, and nephew have headed back to their homes. It was wonderful to spend time with them, but I have to say I’m happy to have my home back. My family is LOUD! I mean, nothing is quiet. Even when they are shushing each other it’s loud. Put […]
Stand Up Momedy Hour
Update: Since writing this post it has come to my attention that someone else already had the following great idea and even trademarked it. What can I say, great minds think alike, but even greater minds execute and trademark there ideas. Visit Momedy by clicking the link. One of the things that I excel at […]
Personal Assistant
One of my many jobs is as a personal assistant to a pretty wonderful man who needs help with the mundane details of his life. Usually that means doing his grocery shopping or researching wine he wants to buy, but every once in awhile I’ll be asked to do something “unique”. Today, I fulfilled one […]
Art
Art is amazing! It has made my life so much better. Let me explain. My younger brother is visiting with his son and my mother. My brother was the first love of my life. He has brought me so much joy and he has also brought me immeasurable pain. He is a recovering heroin addict. […]

It started with some kind of infection in my middle finger. My co-worker suggested perhaps I had overused the finger to flip people off, but I […]
Audition
Went to my second audition since giving birth, today. I almost turned it down because I feel self-conscious about the weight gain, but who am I to deny myself opportunities? I’m so glad I went. I love acting and everything associated with it. Lots of actors are very particular and prefer theater over on-camera, or […]
Yuck!
Today, I met a Mommy friend in the Duboce Park area and we decided to go to Duboce Park Cafe (http://www.doloresparkcafe.org/). I’ve been to this cafe many times with mixed results, but they make a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich that I always enjoy so I decided to treat myself. Oh, boy! I ordered the sandwich […]
Lovin’ Hug, Mami’s Little Helper
Today, I took apart my baby’s Lovin‘ Hug Swing by Graco. You can use the swing up until 30 lbs and Put Pie has at least 9lbs to go, but she’s made it loud and clear that she no longer enjoys the ride. No big deal, I went and bought a big plastic tub to […]
