Tweet …that I can’t get enough of Mr. Conjunction Junction. I love the idea that when I was a little girl I could watch something great like the Schoolhouse Rock cartoons on Saturday morning and now I can go see the conductor of the conjunctions himself play live under the stars over Beverly Hills. Jack […]
Tweet Critter and Miss Strawberry discover what Mommy and Daddy really mean when they say “you little monkey!” This was my first trip to the L A Zoo, too. And you know how hard it is for me get excited about going anywhere out of Los Angeles proper. While it was fun to finally check […]
Tweet On Tuesday the Critter and I strolled to Roxbury Park and then to lunch with The Chef. On the way, we saw these cars being washed. I’m sure The Husband will want me to say what type of cars they are, and I will as soon as he gets home, but aren’t they tres […]
Tweet …that there is not a line a block long at Sprinkles, the cupcake factory that has captured and addicted millions. In spite of the fact that I live a mere five minute walk from there, I never go, because I truly could bake cupcakes in the amount of time it would take to stand […]
Tweet I know we all are incredibly spoiled by the weather, yet the last few years there have been some unusually high temperatures for a spate of time here and there. My dear Husband goes around like a big bear with a thorn in his paw during these seasons, as we forget too soon once […]
Tweet When I was expecting the Critter, I was haunted by the voice of Louise Nevelson in a documentary I saw in design school. I can’t quote her, but she was talking about having children when you’re “on this search” for art and that it’s unkind to put children in in the position of coping […]
Tweet This has been what the backside of The Peninsula has looked like, roughly since New Years. See the tiny blue thing dangling from the end of the crane? That’s a BIG dumpster, hauling debris down and building materials up to the rooftop where the normally glamorous pool and cabanas are. My little birds in […]
Tweet …that this would be approved so soon. So there goes the neighborhood, until the three year construction period is over, starting with demo in June. I SO dread the dust and wondering what is in the particulate. I suppose the City Council made the best deal for the city that they could, and my […]
Tweet It occurred to me as I sat on the terrace enjoying a glorious California morning the odd trivia that led to the painting currently housed a la John Saladino in my direct line of vision. The original muse for the painting was a staircase that led to a garage apartment on Charleville. I walk(ed) […]
Tweet It was not really fair to get so excited about Easter and then not spill the beans about what happened around here. All the cards with the critter’s adorable photo went in the mail, the Grandmother arrived from Mississippi without unpleasant travel events, bringing along “her baby’s” handpainted Easter basket and bunny. My bunny […]
