Howdy, folks! I forgot to ask last week…how was your Thanksgiving? We spent ours in Santa Fe with my family, and it was a perfectly festive break from our not so Christmas-y Southern California weather. We left on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and DROVE to Santa Fe because, well, we are obviously insane. However, the [...]
We will be taking a quick trip to a lovely resort this weekend for our final jaunt before the baby arrives. (Can you believe I’m 8 months pregnant? When did that happen? Also, how did I go from tiny pregnant lady to ENORMOUS pregnant lady in the past 24 hours? Riddle me that, buckos.) I [...]
We are currently in Oklahoma, awaiting the 3 to 7 inches of snow we heard might be making its appearance just in time for Christmas. Wito just might lose his mind in the presence of strange white stuff falling from the sky. We are cautiously optimistic, Mr. Weather! Please don’t disappoint this wide-eyed preschooler! My [...]
Listen up, ladies and gents! I’m super excited to be working with Leslie Blodgett of Bare Escentuals and Sephora (OMG, pinch me) on a contest that starts today and goes through October 23, 2009. Many many MANY of you all need to enter immediately. Why? #1 – (1) grand prize winner and a guest will [...]
Planning my wedding was a little stressful. Wait, I know what you are thinking. What wedding planning process ISN’T a little stressful? It’s the nature of the beast! I’m sure most brides-to-be have experienced that familiar bottom lip quiver at some point during the process. (Or full-out bridezilla rage…you know who you are.) My wedding, [...]
Let me just say this. Being online while flying makes plane travel infinitely better. INFINITELY. Virgin America, I like you. However, I would greatly appreciate if a certain someone in the general vicinity would put their shoes back on. (Lady sitting next to me, are you reading this? Shake your right foot if you are. [...]
Before this weekend, our last visit to Chicago was in 2005. D and I were practically newlyweds! This trip was a little different, though. Same spot, but with a minor addition. You know…only the greatest thing that ever happened to us. No biggie. It’s a little bizarre reading my posts about that trip from four [...]
Stop taxi, STOP! from whoorl on Vimeo. Thank you to the taxi cabs of Chicago for keeping my son completely enthralled for hours on end. (Well, just the yellow ones. To the rest of the colors, Wito says YOU SUCK.)
Well, it’s time to re-pack my bags and head out to Palm Springs for sun, swimming and a little relaxation. When I mentioned to Wito that we were leaving for Palm Springs to see his beloved great-grandparents, he dashed out of the room and returned looking like this: I think he is more excited than [...]
Wito and I arrived in the very balmy state of Oklahoma today. Like SEAR MY FACE OFF WITH A BLOW TORCH balmy. How I managed to endure summers here for 18 years is truly boggling. And what does my family do to combat the heat? We sit around, drinking vodka tonics and wearing holiday reindeer [...]
Photos, videos and a little commentary of our trip to Kauai here. (I WANT TO GO TO THERE.) (AGAIN.)
After an incredibly long red-eye (thank you VERY LITTLE, headwinds) and a near miss of my carefully-orchestrated Overlapping Layover Plan in Phoenix, in which my saintly mother flew with Wito to Phoenix from Oklahoma City to assist in the Official Toddler Tradeoff, we’re home! I’m sorting through six days of photos and videos and receipts, [...]
Being an expert planny planner, I am putting together a list of things to do while in Kauai. I would love any suggestions! This is what I have so far… Restaurants: Beach House Tidepools Caffe Coco Postcards Activities: Zodiac Boat Tours – Na Pali Coast Secret Beach Waimea Canyon Kilauea Lighthouse Drinking cold libations at [...]
Dear Dad, I know my trip home was completely last-minute and that you have had an extremely full plate with the new house. (Which is absolutely beautiful, by the way. Wowza.) However, I am a little disappointed in the candy drawer. I know what you are thinking, dad – people would kill for that candy [...]
Damn, you all have some opinions about The Shopping. And here I was, thinking no one even read this damn blog anymore. After careful thought and consideration, I have gone against the majority vote and decided to return two of the shirts. (No Shopping Mandate is BACK ON, SISSIES! YEAHHHHH.) I am keeping the gray [...]
