Botox Bandit? It's getting serious in the OC.

Did you hear about this lady? Running from plastic surgery place to place to get her botox fix, then leaving before she paid for the services. That’s desperate. Some places have dine & dash, we have botox & bail. Love it. Read all about it.

My California Kid

All he’s missing is the board.

It’s as though he knows what the future holds.

He’s my Ty guy. Surfer name. Surfer hair. And love of all things surf and sand. I get a bit teary looking at this recent pic, as I can already see him grown up, with a love of more things than just his mommy. Will I lose him to the beach, the girls and all his other new interests? Probably, so I better hold on tight now.

peace and love

Raindrops: keep falling!

Hope you enjoyed Storm Watch ‘09! I personally loved it. Can’t get enough of the wet, messy, cold, dreary stuff. It’s just not natural to have that many days of sun in a row. No mudslides wanted of course, just friendly, wet stuff. Remember walking the streets looking for worms as a kid after it rained? Now everybody’s afraid they’re gonna melt. Next worm hunt next week maybe?

Daily Wardrobe Malfunction

Am I alone? Is there anyone else having the wardrobe meltdowns I’m having with my fashionista 5 yr-old?

Every day it happens. She simply can’t pick an outfit and be done. Zoe has to change into 3 different looks ... something doesn’t match, it fits too tight, or who knows what or why. What haunts me is my thoughts of “Did I create this little diva?” As a new mom to a little girl, I got all the baby boutique items (on sale) and dressed my little pint-size princess in the fun, fancy, trendy styles, and now I see I may have created my morning migraine. Me, maybe I did it!

If I could only turn back time, would I resist the latest leopard look? The 2-piece, to-die-for Baby Lulu. We’re working on one outfit a day now and no stress over clothes. It’s a slow process, and If anybody has quick fix advice, bring it on!

Thank God I got a boy the second time around: one outfit, it’s on and we’re out. Ahhh.

peace out

Could You Ever? Love or Crime?

Couldn’t shake this interview I saw last week on GMA with John West. West helped his parents “exit,” kept the secret for 10 years and now tells all in his new book, The Last Goodnights. Would you ever? Would you want your kids to help you? I’m on the fence, but wish this LA writer might not have done the book thing, and just spread the message. Then again, I know others that would buy the book now after hearing his story. Watch for yourself.
