FEELING CHECK

Okay- I think I’m in denial of the next surgery. I have been so pre-occupied with the bootcamp and getting us out of this financial crap hole that I haven’t really “checked in” with what’s imminent…
So, my feelings on it are… Conflicted. I have fear, yes. The fact that women VOLUNTEER for this astounds me. [...]

MAD DASH

Well- I met with Kao (A.K.A. The Boob Maestro) and in spite of my expander saline bag moving (Who can tell- it’s always been this amoeba shape???) he says I’m ready to have my next surgery. I am officially ready for my “MTV Boobies”- wahoo! I am excited but also a little “put out” by [...]

THE GLUTTONY OF JOY

I’d love to say I’m logging this post to enlighten, bring a smile, entertain or what-have-you but it’s really just to relive, in type, a truly BRILLIANT, perfect weekend. I simply basked in the gratitude and sheer overflowing LOVE of my life.
(Man, I hope you’re not having a shitty day. It just gets more gushy [...]

SPEEDING TREADMILL

Okay- so I’ve been slacking because of the Bootcamp starting back up. The great news is that this round I have 5 gals instead of 1 but it’s hard work. Also, Doug has been working EVERY day now, usually until 7:30pm when kids are in bed. I am totally fried. It doesn’t help that it’s [...]

TINY MIRACLES

So, when we were in NY, just after leaving the Easter Parade on 5th ave. Doug found a butterfly on the ground. He picked it up and put it on Max’s hand. Max stood so still and transfixed. He stared at it, walked slowly and nurtured it. Everyone- literally- everyone coming off the parade commented; [...]

NO PLACE LIKE IT…

Got in last night and got everything put away and situated (refer back to my post X-mas issue on this compulsion.) and slept in our bed with Doug the Benevolent Snorer and realized…
Fancy as it may be, exciting, glamorous, fun-filled… travel & Elsewhere is nice but… I LOVE me some Burbank.

Easter in NYC

1st Blog entry on new site- forgive my absence. Have been in NYC with in laws & kids since the 9th. It’s amazing as always and awesome. Max is fascinated with the steam that comes up from the subways and that you don’t have to buckle up in taxis. Scout is fascinated with her first [...]

SUCKER PUNCHED

MAR. 25, 2009
NO, IT DIDN’T GO DOWN BETWEEN ME AND ANYONE IN TARGET OR THE LIMPY CHURCH HAG… IT WAS A MIGRAINE. I WOKE UP WITH IT- GOT THROUGH MAX’S DROP OFF THEN CALLED DOUG HOME TO HELP AFTER THROWING UP AND HAVING SCOUT WATCH AND COPY ME .(SHE ACTUALLY SPIT INTO THE TOILET!) I’M [...]

REALLY. AIG, REALLY??!!

MAR. 18, 2009
Am so depressed all my comedic morning radio shows are off the air because all the political ones are left and listening to those makes me totally nuts.
I feel like I wanna hijack the airwaves (starting with that bastion of objectivity, Fox News) and just scream- “STOP THE INSANITY! STOP IT- STOP IT- [...]

GAME FACE

MAR. 15, 2009
So, laid way low the rest of the weekend and tried not to act crazy…
So far so good but… Man- I’m over me. BTW- my kid fully *rocked* that trike-a-thon. He rules. In the midst of my self-debasement/hatred/obsession I neglected to mention that.
Later on Friday, I got word from Xavier- the school we [...]
