So many of the big wedding decisions are done now. It’s come down to the little details. Booking hotels, planning showers, picking out things like ring pillows. I’m on the last week of letting my hair’s roots grow out so I can try to get back toward my original color for the wedding. Another week…

Note: I’m thrilled that my April Fools day prank worked. I didn’t think you’d fall quite so well for that terrible outfit! Gotcha! Isn’t it amazing how well you remember the books you read as a child? I could probably draw from memory all my favorites. One was the clever drawings of Richard Scarry. I…

Jessica has a big work trip coming up: I am going on a business trip to Portland and Seattle in early April. Since I’m a physical therapist, the classes will be spent in shorts (your favorite, I know), so that part is all taken care of. What I really need help on is the social…

Jennifer has a fun problem: I know your list is super long {ed: it is, please wait at little longer to send your requests}, but I’m a desperate woman so I wanted to get in the queue. I recently had a baby (3 months ago). I’ve worked hard to regain my figure, and my old…

Who else watched the first part of Masterpiece Theater’s Sense and Sensibility last night? It’s up against stiff competition from Ang Lee’s version with Emma Thompson that I’ve watched at least eight times. So far, the TV version is a lot more detailed and realistic. The most striking change is the cottage. In Ang Lee’s…

This weekend was short and full of driving. It’s fun to visit our country friends Rich and Molly but I wish they lived just a tiny bit closer. On Friday night, Rob and I came home from work to pack for our trip. To bed early in order to wake up at 6:30 am the…

I know that technically I can afford some of these lovely handbags…but I could never actually bring myself to fork over the money. But, what if: 1. Kooba Katy Bag – $645. 2. Riverstones Bag – $248. 3. Vanessa Bruno Tote – $628. 4. Bottega Veneta Hobo – $1,304 – Urban Outfitters made a knock…

This has been a pretty long week. I’ve had headaches, which I never get and if I do usually means that I’m coming down with a cold. Here’s what I learned this week: It makes me happy to see my back neighbor’s garden in bloom for spring. We have started mailing out save-the-dates. It is…

Okay, so I love musicals. It is pretty geeky and old fashioned of me…I just appreciate the concept of people bursting into song and dance in everyday situations. We covered one of the best modern musicals earlier this week, Everyone Says I Love You. Here are some other favorites: 1. An American in Paris –…

My gosh, it is cold today. Our warm spring weather in San Francisco has disappeared. It even rained yesterday. Too far on the calendar to wear tweeds…too cold to wear spring brights, what’s a girl to do? How about toss her current wardrobe and stock up on lovely new bargain pieces: Sweater – In warm…
