Flying into Vegas the flight attendant asked me if I was wearing a lucky elephant (a diamond pin I got in Bali and pinned on my fav jacket I found in Hong Kong at Shanghai Tang) and then she asked me if she could touch it – I told her yes because I’m lucky – and she said she was going gambling tonight and now just touching my elephant she knew she was going to…
The USAA appointed apprasier came by at 7:30 this morning and right off the bat she dropped a bomb on me – a familiar one – she said because the addition was not “connected” to the main house it could not be counted in the total square footage [we went through this in San Rafael when we finished the bottom of the house and because you had to go down a flight of stairs that…
Not that mayor – this is the mayor of our neighborhood or so some call him, he calls TL the mayor – who knows – anyway he was at the LaLa for the MG Marathon party the other morning and as we went through each room he said – “if this were my house, I’d walk through each room and say and look at this, and look at that.” And I said, I know it…
In the Sky Mall catalog there were three items that stood out as more than mere curiosities – there was something sinister about their concept as if created by delusional crack addict inventors tinkering away in their garages having an ah ha moment that was chemically induced. 1) Dryer Vent Brush $12.99 #131839A – “over time, lint accumulates inside your dryer and that can cause a vent fire and reduce air flow…the 10 foot long…
After 22 months of all my belongings packed in boxes, I opened my past with delight, surprise and sadness. There was Sam’s photo right before he died. They say time heals all wounds – it does not – it just dulls the pain. I miss him as if he died yesterday and it has been four years since I held him while the vet gave him his lethal injection. He had lost the use of…
Last night after packing and getting myself ready for today, I ran a hot bubble bath and got in – this was my second bath in the tub and both times I have fallen sound asleep. Obviously, I want to be awake for the next one but I’m starting to think the floaties might not be a bad idea. By the end of the day yesterday, I had had it with all these men around…
I got an email from Bud in which he said, “I miss the Lala on the Bayou! I know it so intimately and I feel like a piece of me will always be there.” Yesterday Steve was here going over some of the final details of what needs to be done and we were talking about the bricks. He asked me where they came from and I said didn’t you see the original photo of…
I was on my way out to Pilates today when things started popping around the LaLa and I was trapped here all day up until locking myself out and having to wait for my new dog sitter to come back over with the keys. It’s now 9:39 – I didn’t get anything hardly done that was supposed to get done today but other stuff got done. Now utterly exhausted, I cried uncle when I was…
My smoking hot electrician sent his son to work on my house today and I just shook my head. I said you look just like your daddy. Turns out he lives down the street – so now I’m really listening to him – he’s as hot as his father without having the older air about him. He said he saw me at La Vita the other night. He had met me when I first bought…
A friend – who normally calls a lot – had been incognito and now I know it’s because she spent five days with a 25-year-old. It was kind of like some tour package vacation thingy – where she met him, disappeared into a haze of days and nights of – well must I spell out of what? – but she says she feels like a brand new woman – hmmm.
