There’s something on the floor. Not under the tree. On the floor outside the bedroom door. Pretty sure it came from the dog. Not sure which end it came from. This was Christmas morning. And perhaps a metaphor for the year. There’s been a lot of crap this year. Fear and tears over fires and [...]

The shit you take when you evacuate. I took a ratty stuffed elephant I had as a kid. His name is Dinkie. He has one eye. I probably ate the other eye. When my friend lost her home she said “I wish I’d taken my son’s baby blanket.” I had time to pack before evacuating. [...]

I got a jumpsuit. It’s a onesie for grownups. Easy for travel. Except when you need to pee. Especially on the train. Some people (by people I mean men) have bad aim on the train. I was the girl on the train. Traveling from Prague to Budapest to Vienna to Prague. Can not even calculate [...]

Podcast link: Ok LA I tried low carb. But I ate chips and that was it. I’m trying intermittent fasting. You eat for 8 hours. Then don’t eat for 16 hours. Problem is last night I ate at 11pm. So today I can’t eat until 3pm. All this to lose that baby weight. Because my [...]

My husband says my dress looks like a sofa. I say it’s more like a tablecloth. A long tablecloth. And I hate long dresses. Mostly because…they’re long. I like short skirts. Plus a long dress makes it difficult to pee. And I pee freely. I rented the dress. Guess I should have rented more of [...]

strong> I picked up this guy on the street. He said we’d meet halfway. Halfway became a half block from his house. Steve and I were heading to KABC to see Jillian. He should know better than to let us drive. Last time Jill drove she hit a concrete barrier. This time I got lost. [...]

The sign says Happy Hour… 7am to 6pm. That’s a bit too happy for me. But I did have a midday Margarita. It was supposed to be skinny. But it tasted like a Slurpee and came in a Big Gulp cup. Tabasco is the beach bar with the 11 hour happy hour. There’s another tacky [...]

It’s been raining. And I’m pouring tea. I’m a coffee drinker. But I drink tea when I write. Mostly I’m writing emails for Mending Kids. We have a fundraiser coming up. I’ll bug you to buy tickets in a bit. But I’m thinking about… Mending me. Probably because of an email from a friend. We’re [...]

Don’t speak with almonds in your teeth. Something I should know after 30 years on TV. Apparently I didn’t eat healthy then. With almond bits in my teeth… I was about to speak at the ACP Journalism Convention. I was about to impart all my wisdom. Then what to do for the rest of the [...]

Are vitamins better with red or white? Took my fish oil with a nice pinot grigio. When you wash down your vitamins with wine you know you’re in Vegas. But it was almost 5 o’clock…and way past Dry January. I like to gamble for 5 minutes and then take my chances at the shops. One [...]
