Pool Side

Lounging with friends by a pool;
We laughed, while enjoying sparkling rosé and grapes.
Just like the ancient Roman’s––minus the corruption, brutality, and servants fanning us with giant leaves.

Book It!

Only five short days away from a trip to Hawaii!!!
What relaxing vacation would be complete without a few juicy summer books to read?
I think I found the perfect summer selection-
I'm going to kick start the vacation reading Tina Fey's book Bossypants!
Who knows where I'll go from there...

Random BBQ

Summer is coming to an end.

So is the propane in our tank...

We might be running low on heat, but thank God we've got a lot to drink!

There's nothing like a random Tuesday night BBQ with friends.

Life is good.

Manic on Monday!

Another Monday.
Another month.
Summer is rapidly swimming by!
Working hard to achieve new heights.
I need to enjoying the down time too!

July!

Just can't wait to eat hot dogs and potato salad.
Utter bliss by the pool.
Long days and beautiful summer nights drinking with friends.
You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to a vacation!

Summer... and I'm Working!

I'm so ready for a fun summer adventure!
All I've been doing the past three weeks is either moving or working... or working on something I've moved!
I'm over it!
And I'm freaked out that summer is half way gone!
So, today was the last day I've allowed myself to work on any projects involving my apartment.
It's time to get my mind refocused on new creative projects and fun summer trips!
First stop; a trip to the beach tomorrow. Followed by a fun, action packed, summer movie Friday. Wrapped up with a day of summer pool partying on Sunday... That should put my mind at ease for a moment.
Just long enough to realize that I still have a trip to Lake Tahoe and New York City this summer...
Both are for work! But believe- I'm gonna do my damnedest to have a little summer adventure time too!

Where Is Summer Going?

If you take too much time to think about how fast time is passing-
Then you've already lost too much time thinking about something that cannot be stopped.

Will Summer Please Stay Put?

I have to admit I'm over this Summer sun tease...

It's been a strange weather year all around for those of us who live in Los Angeles-

One day violent rain and wind, the next day the sun is out with nothing but blue skies...

Then of course there's "June Gloom." I think the name says it all... Los Angeles usually gets to enjoy a sunny April and May and then with June we get the gray!

But this year, almost every other day has been gray!!

I'm over it! I want to wake up everyday and know that I'm going to be hot and sweaty! I want to know that the sun is going to bake my skin to a golden perfection! I want to wear shorts until 11 pm! I'm sick and tired of freezing in LA!

Will the Summer sun please stay put!

Detox ASAP

Enough is enough!

I've spent the past week in a thick haze of gluttony-

I never have a problem overeating,

In fact, it's what I do best-

I love food. I crave it every second on the day...

Usually, I trick myself into feeling full by drinking gallons of water a day-

This week I haven't been able to put down the fork and step away from table,

Because of this, my gut is doughy and threatening to burst at any moment.

Two nights ago I was in so much pain that I though my appendix was going to explode-

I woke up at 4 a. m. with sharp pains in my side,

After a twenty minute google search and three articles on web MD about appendicitis-

I seriously contemplated calling an ambulance!

...Until I realized it was just horrible gas!

That's when it occurred to me that maybe I'm eating too much shit!

I know, I know... it's okay to have fun and splurge every now and then-

But with Summer, bathing suits and beach parties right around the corner...

it's time to say NO to the chili cheese fries, and hello to the garden salad with a side of vinaigrette!
