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,…

I saw Star Wars!

So, me and the Boy saw Revenge of the Sith last night. Blew away the first of this trilogy, much better than the second, but still…Look, I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I’ve been a little disturbed by Lucas’ need to screw around with his own mythology (Jedi can’t marry? So, how do they make…

The Apprentice – DOH!

So, I was watching the Apprentice on Thursday, and spent the better part of it cowering on the couch. Although I still believe Tana’s task – as shown – was tons harder than Kendra’s, the Olympic Event was just…traumatic.

The Dishes Are Done!

Okay, it’s 3:30 in the morning, the advice column is up, the blog is up, and I am going to bed. Tomorrow I’m tracking down a potential site for my future webmistress and trying to find hotels in Santa Barbara. And middling things like changing my car insurance and going to Target. Ah, the glamourous…

Ode to Craigslist

Okay, so Craigslist is like, the greatest thing ever. I found our house on Craigslist. A great deal of my clients found me on Craigslist, and I’ve found a few of them there as well. Part-time jobs, DVD players, you name it, I’ve found it. Right now, I’m trying to find a reasonably priced Treo…
