Perhaps it’s because mercury’s in retrograde (I don’t even know what that means or if it’s true, but I felt like saying it), but once again the fa-fa-freeeeeeeaks were out at Target last night.  As I was dashing out of the store, I walked past a homeless man who appeared to be holding what looked like a margarita. Okaaay. Then, I heard someone talking (maybe even yelling) loudly in my direction.  I ignored it as the only thing on my mind was quickly getting home to kiss Baby-Ko.  The yelling got louder though. I turned. An old couple that looked like they  had been plucked from central casting waved at me. ...Read More
Yesterday, I stumbled upon askmen.com, a website I can only assume is geared towards, duh, men. Apparently, every year they compile a list of the Top 99 women from the year. Last year, Katherine Heigl was named the No.1 Most Desirable Woman. This year, men must have been as annoyed with the dead-Denny-Duquette-sex like me, because she came in at No.81. Ouch.  Every year, voters from all over the world are asked to look beyond sex appeal and beauty to pick women who have the characteristics they value most in a potential companion, like “intelligence, humor, charisma and ambition.” Based on those attributes, you’d think Tina Fey would come in at ...Read More

Tomorrow is the day. The day so many of us have been waiting and praying for.  Obama. Barack Obama. President Barack Obama. I cannot wait. However,  I hate to say it, but I’m gonna miss ol’ Bushie….. Only for the jokes of course.  And I’m not the only one. Here’s what one toddler has to say about our (almost) former 43rd President… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6KDvZorCV8] Buh, buh bye George! 
I feel like I’m always doing laundry.  In fact, tonight before I left to run an errand and pick us up some dinner, I  took some laundry out of the dryer and threw a new load in the washer….  I threw the dry clothes on the dining room table. I’ll fold them when I get back (i.e. pray that my mom, who’s over, will get to them first)…. ** At California Chicken Cafe, I spend 5 minutes debating (in my head) about which salad to have. I order two California Salads (chicken, feta, avocado, tomato, pita chips) and take a number and wait for my order. Crap. I changed my mind. I ...Read More

Remember back in the day when you played Tetris or Mario Brothers and you closed your eyes at night, and all you could see was the game?  Blocks falling in to place. Mario jumping over a brick wall… Luigi throwing a fire ball….  Well, a similar thing has happened to me with Facebook….. ** As I waited for T-Ko outside the men’s restroom at the Laker game, my blackberry buzzed– I had two new notifications on Facebook. Someone had commented on my status.  As many of you Facebook junkies know, there is a tool on FB that allows you to update people with your status. “J-Ko is….” and then you fill in ...Read More

I posted a while back about how I used to list all the things I would NEVER, gasp, NEVER do when I had a child of my own.  Well, those with children know how ridiculous that romantic little notion is… Especially, when you’re on “vacation” with said child and said child happens to be interested in everything he shouldn’t be and wants to be everywhere he shouldn’t and can’t be.  SO, what do you do? You go in to SURVIVAL MODE. You do what you can to get by. You make do with what you got and you break all the rules and become a mom that you never, gasp, ...Read More

Two years ago tonight, I was up in wine country with a bunch of friends, staying at a beautiful house along the Russian River, drinking wine, eating delicious meals, and makin’ babies. Well… Turns out I actually only made one baby to be specific, but the point is I literally conceived on New Year’s eve (or New Year’s day…. it was a lucky 24 hours for my husband and I).  Now, we’re  back up in wine country, with the same group of friends and a couple of additions to the group — the scenery is still stunning, the wine is still delicious, and the food is still making me fat ...Read More

I wanted to write about my new favorite show “Whatever, Martha” on Fine Living Network- I stumbled upon this gem last week. Alexis Stewart, Martha’s daughter sits around with her friend Jennifer and watches old Martha Stewart Living segments and literally talks shit.  I mean, literally. She calls her mom uptight, sexless, makes fun of how boring and ridiculous it is… One segment she made fun of Martha’s guest who is a twine collector. Yes, twine. Anyway, the show is hilarious but what I love is that Martha Stewart is actually executive producer which means- she’s in on it. She knows her daughter is talking shit and is cashing in ...Read More

Facebook is my crack.  I know... I admit it…  I used to talk a lot of shit about friends (and husbands) who seemed overly obsessed with status updating, reconnecting with old friends (and flames) and playing silly games like Scrabbulous or throwing monkeys at each other (or some other ridiculous FB application).  But I get it!  I’m addicted too now.  I’ve got over 200 friends (Tyler Florence included) and I’m feeling pretty good about myself. I think I’m finally cool. 🙂 HOWEVER, one thing NOT so “cool” about me and Facebook: the photos that my so-called friends have decided to upload of me!  Sure, it’s fun to take a walk down ...Read More

We recently posted this video on MomLogic.com.  When I first saw it, I literally could not stop laughing.   He obviously hates puppets as much as I hate birds. http://embed.break.com/613580Kid Is Terrified Of Puppets – Watch more Free Videos Yet another reason why I need to make sure I don’t pass on my irrational fears to my own child!
