I have an issue with trust – I trust so implicitly at the onset that I think I set the whole thing on a timer to destruct at some later point. Maybe the lesson is to not trust so much at the onset, but instead to build trust. Because the one thing for certain is that when the trust is broken, I can’t get it back. Try as I might, I just don’t think I…
Here are a couple of observations from last night: When couples break up, they tend to look better than when they were hooked up. Some people turn into a kitchen witch when they are cooking [it takes one to know one]. J and P said they looked me up on the internet and I had 12 addresses in California – let’s see, I lived on Page, Mason, Vermont, and then bought the house in Marin…
40 miles this morning on the bike as we get ready for this MS ride – which will be 150 miles. By the end, with the sun high up in the sky, I was starting to feel it. All us girls headed to Russell’s Marina Grill afterwards and rewarded ourself with an onion mum (home of, no less) and a seabreeze (made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice) and eggs Ponchartrain (like Benedict except with a…
I was staying in last night to hang out with my girls (Arlene and Loca) but J called and said that G&T were over and they were taking the boat out. I’ve chided her about that boat – I have a canoe and want to get a kayak, but she has an inflatable with an electric motor. Well no more chiding. That boat rocks. I got in and laid back and we had music playing,…
For running a catastrophe story on New Orleans that is timed so conveniently on the second anniversary of Katrina and should keep the tourist away for another five years as well as drive those residents who have been on the fence away as well. Nothing iike “the sky is falling” attention grabbing journalism.
I swear it’s like there is no shortage of fun things to do in this city. I think I mentioned just this weekend it is White Linen night, and Satchmo Fest, and I had two party invites for tonight alone. So I decided to blow it all off tonight. I was lying on my couch with Loca and Arlene near me and thought about all the traveling I was going to be doing over the…
Last night after the walk, I got home and B called to come meet her and K and have a salad al fresco. When I got there they were sitting a few tables down from a rowdy group of about 8 couples. While we were eating our salad, the rowdiness kicked up a few notches and the next thing I knew the man towards the end of the table had his girlfriend’s hair in his…
Last night we all walked to show our strength in numbers in the hood and that we are not going to tolerate crime in our neighborhood. Loca came with me because Arlene couldn’t do that long a walk – you can see her in the slideshow (I’m wearing a brown skirt and cowboy boots). Fox News was there.
Stealing Magnolias This is by a guy name Bryan Donovan – he is an actor/comedian – and it’s funny.
I received some very nice wine and champagne as house warming gifts – there were several other interesting and fun gifts – CD compilations from L and L, M&V brought a fresh baked loaf of bread they made, someone brought a pineapple with flowers tucked in the leaves, GG brought a pot of succulents with jade in the middle (good luck), and another person brought lucky bamboo. Aren’t those all wonderful gifts for a house…
