StarStruk By Life

I have spent the wee hours of this morning going through my comcast inbox…amazing the things I keep…I’m always afraid that the moment I hit the delete button, I will need what I just lost.  I’m down to just over 500 read emails, nothing unread. Nearly 1,000 other emails were distributed among subfolders (theater, family, etc.).  Of […]

UGH…last night was one of those nights where I slept for 3 hours, was awake for 3, then slept for 2…now I have a full day ahead… I was amazed to hear a beautiful bird song in the dark, around 3am…I didn’t know birds sang in the dark… My early forays out to weed the […]

As I’ve mentioned before, I am a 2nd generation Southern Californian…I grew up on a major fault off the MAJOR fault and some shaking and rolling was a way of life. The big 6.9ish quake of 1971 that took out freeways and overpasses had my dorm bed rolling back and forth in the dark. I […]

Yes, I know they just came out yesterday, but if you already bought an IPad OR if you buy it soon, let me know how you like it…convince me that I MUST have one. I have asked for advice a couple of times as to whether I should leave my beloved Verizon and a Blackberry […]

Saturday mornings early mean Antiques Roadshow UK…it used to mean Cash in the Attic, but we have seen them all…love love love the female presenter, Fiona Bruce, and the quirky appraisers and the people who bring things to be valued…not to mention some of the amazing things…thumbs up for Saturday mornings and BBC America.  We took some […]

I hear tell that the sun will shine today…oh, please let it be true… My children’s generation of cousins is roaring into marrying age…many are now in their 20s…and there are LOTS of them.  With the institution of family reunions, my mom made sure that we all knew our cousins and our kids knew their cousins.   […]

I am NOT one for April Fool’s jokes. Watching Morning Joe, LOVED the footage of the American women playing the Mexican women in soccer in Utah as it snowed!  Instead of celebrating with slip-and-slide stomach glides, the American’s celebrated the game winning goal with snow angels! The rain has stopped in our neck of the […]

Today is my son’s birthday…27 years ago a few hours ago, Beloved Boy Child pushed and shoved his way into being…all 9 pounds 5 ounces of him.  I was such a darn hippy back then, I automatically told the doc that I wanted a drugless childbirth (same as the first…I did it once, of course I could […]

We have a dumpster in our driveway!!!!  Hus has been home for a while and has done an amazing job of organizing and tidying and decluttering.  That, coupled with the amount of JUNK we have accumulated in our basement and attic led us to take advantage of a local dumpster rental outfit’s Weekend Special.  So, […]
