Musings on Orange County

I used to live there, actually, between the ages of 10 and 13, in Los Alamitos. The biggest draw at the time was that it was only a few miles down Katella from Disneyland. My wedding on Saturday was decidely far from there, in Mission Viejo. Everything went great, my interns were wonderful. Did what…

My precious puppy, the murderer

Hailey is the sweetest dog in the world. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body…unless you’re a bird. She caught a sparrow in mid-fly this afternoon, while she and The Boy were playing in the front yard. MID. FLY. And then just kinda looked at it, which is better than what happened the…

Now Introducing: The Charm Mobile!

Well, it’s finally done. I got the back of my car “wrapped” with a big ad around the back – I’ll post a picture just as soon as I find the computer jack for my camera. It took so long to get it done, like a whole month, but it’s done and it looks great….

Buckle up. I'm about to bag on someone.

Okay, so I was in San Diego and the O.C. this weekend – girl’s trip, one of my best friends is 6.5 months pregnant, and she (rightfully) figured she wasn’t going to get anywhere once the babe was born, so off we went – and as I am wont to, I picked up some of…

June Gloom…and Boom

I’m supposed to go on a trip with some friends of mine this weekend – one of those hang out by the pool the whole time kind of trips – when one of them checked the weather channel and realized it was going to be cloudy most of the time. Lived here my whole life,…
