Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
These days, when I wake up in the morning and want to make myself happy, I open my curtain. Outside, in my backyard, are thousands of tiny, brand-new vibrant green blades of grass. I get excited to see more and more of them with each passing day. Wow, sounds, thrilling, doesn't it? I have been … Continue reading Grass and Happiness
Just the fact that I mention I have a 'diet' probably sounds ridiculous to most of you who know me in person. In fact, I went to the doc the other day and when they weighed me- somehow (with shoes on), I weighed four pounds less than my last visit. Which is kind of nuts, … Continue reading My So-Called Diet

It's been a little while, hasn't it? Since I last posted a recipe... pervs! Sheesh. Ah, I know. My brain has been in deep thought mode as of late, and honestly, there hasn't been much time to cook! I did bust out the DSLR for one gorgeous in-season fruit (?) veg (?)recently ... the glorious … Continue reading Oh, Aubergine….

Don't you worry your pretty little heads, I'll be sure to fill you in on my Napa weekend soon. But I want to … Continue reading Croatian Persuasion
The first time I read The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett, I was in elementary school. I was a voracious reader, mainly sticking to the likes of The Babysitter's Club or Sweet Valley High (Sweet Valley Twins I also read, but they were a bit thin). I also dabbled with Nancy Drew (I considered … Continue reading The Secret Garden
There are two things that pump me up about spring besides singing birds, blooming flowers and sunny weather. Rhubarb and The Bachelor/Bachelorette. First, the Bachelorette. I am so excited to watch Emily (aka the closest thing to a natural, human Barbie) find "love". Yes, it's stupid. And we all know what's going to happen. But … Continue reading Rhu-Barbie
Listen, this might be a bit of TMI for you. But it's life, what can I tell you. And truly, it is a part of life: . Yes, that teeny tiny dot is called something. And there are probably thousands of us gals experiencing it this week. Fortunately, this go round is pretty easy on … Continue reading TMI and Other Stuff
No, this is not a post about Mayim Bialik. Although I have total respect for her and think she is super smart. This is blossom in the literal sense, as in a flower in blossom..... Spring is one of my favorite times of year, along with summer, fall, and winter (in that order). Now if … Continue reading Awesome Blossom
