I somehow killed my limequat tree by moving it across the living room. Maybe it died of a broken heart thinking that we loved the Christmas tree more. Or maybe it was the ant invasion. Or perhaps it wasn’t really dead. It is now at least. There is no way it can survive Rob’s special…

Living in an apartment building comes with its own unique benefits and challenges. Largely the challenges have to do with living within earshot of several other people. For the record, I would like to formally announce today that people living in old, wood floor apartments should never own the following items: Rolling chairs – Not…

I can’t believe that little ol’ EmilyStyle.com was featured today as a “blog to visit” on Spirit Fingers. In my opinion, Spirit Fingers is one of the best and funniest websites in the universe. The pressure is on now…quick!…think of something funny to say about MUNI, legwarmers or embarrassing yoga mishaps….ack!…I am drawing a blank!…

Attention home fashion fashionistas and readers of Domino Magazine: Jonathan Adler is having an online sale featuring “scandalously well priced” goods. If you have ever coveted his pottery, rugs or pillows…now is the time to whip out those credit cards. I love this cactus vase and cannot believe it’s only $24. Even better are these…

I love Macy’s! I love it even more when they have huge sales…which they do about 300 days a year. Sales that include adorable winter party dresses and cute coats. My picks: these satin and velvet pumps for only $30. At that price you don’t even need to decide between the green and the pink…you…

At the end of our delicious Valentine’s dinner at Catch last night, the waiter brought us two small boxes of chocolates with our check. One contained five Ghirardelli chocolate squares (delicious!) and the other was a promotion for a HBO show called Big Love. I must be a little out of the pop culture loop…

Spring was officially here last week when San Francisco was a balmy and unexpected 75 degrees all week. Today, the temperature has dropped back down into the 50’s but I still insist that it’s time to start dressing for spring. Celebrate with me the annual return of the white pants! Although worn with a wool…

Many thanks to my co-worker for delivering boxes of chocolate to the whole office today! Valentine’s Day just isn’t official until you have scarfed down a chocolate covered caramel from a heart shaped box. These chocolates remind me of a Valentine’s Day a few years ago when Rob gave me a 4 pound, 17 inch…

Rob surprised me this morning with a bottle of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume! It smells wonderful…even when combined with eau de chlorine that is lingering on my skin from last night’s swim. I gave Rob a box of See’s Candy and high speed internet access hookup for the apartment this morning. Tonight is a romantic…

At Taco Bell last night, Jean said “I bet you are going to blog about this…aren’t you.” Well, I wasn’t going to but now I feel obligated. This is just a quick note of praise to the marketing geniuses at Taco Bell HQ who came up with the idea for the “Crunchwrap Supreme.” Replace the…
