I think I’m coming down solidly in the “naughty” category this holiday season. I’ve been pretty royally lazy the past month. Attended six Christmas parties without throwing one of my own. Barely got the house decorated. Baked only one batch of cookies (from a mix!). And I’ve spent easily $500 on clothes and make-up for…

It’s the final advent calendar post and time to reveal this year’s holiday card photo! It’s tradition each year for Rob to stage a picture of to send out with our Christmas cards. We took the picture this year in front of the Ferry Building downtown. This was actually the very last shot on the…

“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report” will resume production on Jan. 7. Yay!

Brrr….it’s mighty cold outside today. And I believe those areas outside of the California coast are even colder. So how do you dress cute when you need to stay warm? Here is Anne’s question from Reno: I love all your what to wear posts and I was hoping you could do a post on new…

I’m in a bit of haze from my busy night. So I don’t have any cute advent calendar photos of the city to share. Instead, you get a screen shot of me looking cheezy at 4am in front of a poster board backdrop of San Francisco. At least my outfit’s cute 🙂

Ahhk! I just got scheduled for a 4 am live TV interview for work tomorrow morning. I haven’t done much TV lately and I need to buy something new to wear on the air. Yikes. There are so many rules: no white, no black, no pattern. And they would like something bright. I’m going to…

When I finally did wake up yesterday, it was to get dressed and attend the December Ladies Activity Club party. My friend Margaret came up from the peninsula to go with me 🙂 We broke from the gingerbread tradition this year and made paper and wire Christmas trees. It was pretty easy: basically you buy…

I feel so much better today! Sleeping 25 hours out of the last 36 will do that, I suppose. My boss thinks my “hibernation” sick-day method is intense, but you can’t beat the results. My throat is barely sore and I can breathe out my nose again. For the few hours I was awake yesterday,…

All this holiday fun has caught up with me. I came down with a nasty cold last night after returning from a dinner party.
