After my panic attack at work a couple of weeks ago, I have still been incredibly busy, but somewhat more calm. (Perhaps it’s just that I’m too busy to do more than just try to keep my head above water? Hmm.) I am still considering all my life options, but since I [...]

“My Cats Are My Babies.”
It’s the end of another long and hectic week, dear readers, and I am very glad for it. Tomorrow my friend M. arrives for a visit — from New Mexico to Los Angeles for the first leg of her West Coast goodbye tour, and then on to her new home in England. M. [...]

A Heartwarming Halloween Tale
The date is October 31, 2001. The place is Beverly Hills, California. Kids go door to door collecting Halloween candy. All is right with the world.
One resident of the neighborhood opens the door to see a person dressed as a ghost. The ghost begins to reach under its costume and pull out an envelope. The [...]

“Nope, It’s Just Me and My Cat.”
It’s been a long Monday, but a good one. Still, I am happy to be home, in comfy clothes, Sex & the City on in the background (no, there’s no such thing as watching it too much), with Noodles on his new-favorite perch in front of the balcony, and blogging. Mmm.
Today I met [...]

That’s the thing about needs.
Sometimes when you get them met, you don’t need them anymore.
That’s one of my favorite Sex and the City quotes — from the episode where Carrie and Aidan have moved in together, she is feeling crowded and she tells him that she needs to shut the sheer curtain that separates the “bedroom” from the sitting [...]

Today has been one of those glorious fall days in L.A. Sunny, warm, with a cool breeze, everything washed in a soft glow. I walked up to the corner coffee shop to get an iced chai, and walking back down my street I felt peaceful and calm….a feeling that has been increasingly rare [...]

Bloggity Bloggity
Apropos of nothing: is there a cuter TV couple than Jim and Pam on The Office? Yes, I know, how very 2 years ago. And yes, I know that in real life, John Krasinski is rumored to be somewhat of an ass. (Stop breaking my heart!) But I was just [...]

Little Miss ???
Today, dear readers, I had the closest thing to a panic attack that I have ever experienced. After realizing that I may have screwed something up at work and that any helpful paper trail had been routinely deleted from my email without me printing them, I closed myself in my office, tried not to [...]

Congratulations, and Here’s a Cheese Grater
I interrupt my regularly scheduled workday, dear readers, to bring you a little blogging. My friend JV is getting married in a couple of weeks in Ohio, and I am getting very excited about the trip out there. I’ve never been to Ohio, weddings are always fun, and my friends T., J., and A. will [...]

Beatles, Bonsai Trees and more Blogginess
Today in Los Angeles, dear readers, felt like the beginning of winter, with all its damp chilly fogginess. I wore my favorite chunky sweater to fend off the cold, and I confess that right about 3 pm (siesta time), I took advantage of having my own office, put my head down and took a [...]
