I know I shouldn’t complain. We need as much rain as we can get here in the Golden State but my goodness, I’m tired of it. And this latest storm – so cold! The chickens are sitting on my back porch as I type, taking a nap! They don’t want to be out in the cold and wet. I don’t blame them.
I live on a dirt road so the dirt has turned to mud. Really slippery mud. On Monday it was 80 degrees – yesterday at 3 p.m. it was 46. What gives? I think it’s time to move on, Mr. Rainy Pants.
Check back with me about mid-July, when I’m complaining about the heat and feeling desperate for relief. Visit me again at the beginning of September when I wonder how soon Fall will get here and lament over the endless string of 90+ degree days.
Yes, I am fickle. Yes, I guess I’m never happy. Please forgive my moods.
Love,
K

And I guess when I’m feeling anxious, I start baking – I am making these as I blog. This is not a good thing because then I start eating more and well, damn it, it all goes to my butt. Sigh…
But at least it takes my mind off my anxiety. Good lord let’s hope I hear word soon! Please please please!
Ahem. Excuse my little fit. I feel better now. (Not really – just humor me)
Off to go frost the lemon blossoms…
psst – Save me!

I am insane. Taking all three kids with me. Right now I have all the best intentions. I think everything is going to be just fine. Yay the mall! I want to go to Sephora! Oldest has birthday money to blow. The younger ones I’ll bribe with a $10 goody each. It’s all going to be just fine.
Talk to me in a few hours, when I’m on the last legs of this mall trip and all I wanna do is go home. I’ll be thinking to myself — WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?
I think that every single time.
Happy Friday!

I have been a terrible blogger. Hiding away in my writing cave, finishing a book that I think turned out pretty damn good.
Today I feel good. Tomorrow, next week, two weeks from now? Ask me again. I’ll probably say it sucks.
Anywho, in a quest for your forgiveness I give you this hot photo of David Beckham and his posh wife (heh heh). I don’t normally salivate over him (hi Queen Kate! I know you love him so!) but I saw this photo on Crazy Days & Nights and was like oh my…
Do you read CDAN? You really should. I enjoy gossip, shame on me I know. But I find his stuff interesting and Michael K over at Dlisted makes me laugh every day. Every. Single. Day. He has a way with (naughty) words. I love him.
Do you think David is wearing eyeliner? Damn he looks good in that photo…

That’s how I feel. I’m in limbo, waiting for responses on certain things, various projects, etc etc. It’s making me batty, I must admit. Completely batty. So what does a girl do when she’s feeling low and sick of checking her empty inbox?
She goes shopping.
I went to Ann Taylor Loft. If I was rich I would own that entire store. All of it! But I’m not rich. I’m broke and I’m looking for things on sale and I had an extra 20% off coupon in my purse so I was ready. I wanted something fun and pretty and springy! I’m ready to shed the sweaters and put on something pastel colored!
I found a bunch of stuff to try on. I was going for it, just piling the clothes on my arm. The employee who helped me had a big wide eyes that flashed dollar signs and whispered cha-ching! every time she took the stuff and put it in a dressing room for me. Hey, I know they don’t make commission but I worked retail for years. You gotta keep those numbers up to look good to your manager, regional manager, corporate office a blah blah blah.
I get in the dressing room and I try on the first shirt which was this. Oooh, I thought. Pretty color. Subtle glitter. And on sale! I want it! Damn I look good. Better than normal! What’s up with that?
Next shirt – meh but boy my hair looks nice. Another shirt (I realized all I tried on were shirts and sweaters – so typical of me. I always buy shirts and neglect pants! Not good), it’s okay but wow my coloring is just peachy! My eyes sparkle, my skin looks good, what is going ON?
Any Seinfeld fans here? Remember when Elaine kept going to a department store and hanging out in the dressing room because she looked so good in the mirror (either Bergdorf’s or Bloomingdales, I think)? Damn it I tried to find a clip on YouTube but came up empty handed. Anywho, that is the dressing room at Ann Taylor Loft! The lighting, the trick (maybe?) mirror, whatever it was I don’t know but I looked damn good! And I’m not one to brag. I’m usually in sweat pants and a t-shirt. I am not a glamorous babe who walks around talking about how hot I am. Trust. Me.
Have you ever had this happen? When I got home I checked myself in the mirror. I looked all right. Nothing special. No peachy complexion, no sparkling eyes, no perfect hair. In fact, there was mascara under my eye and my hair was kind of flyaway. Yeah. I need that mirror – hell that entire dressing room – in my house pronto!

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s season finale is tonight and I’m sad. I’ve really enjoyed this season. Oh, hell, I enjoy every season with them but this one really kept me hooked. Excuse me while I go on a “Why I Love Them” list.
I used to not like Gretchen but now I think she’s one of the sanest of the bunch. Minus her rant on Lynne. And minus the fact that Slade is her boyfriend. Lauri on a past season’s episode said it best: “Slade wants to be one of the housewives.” TOTALLY.
I actually like Lynne and she drove me crazy last season. I don’t think she’s a very strong parent. In fact, she let’s those girls run right over her. But I like how ditzy she is. There’s something about that ditziness I find…endearing.
The new housewife, Alexis. Oh my. Her husband is a piece of work. If my husband talked to me the way hers does, I’d tell him to shove it. But she seems to like it. And he keeps her in designer clothes and expensive diamond jewelry so it works for them.
I could go on and on but don’t want to bore you. Later tonight after the kids are in bed I’m watching it. Whoo hoo! Until next season ladies!
