I sad mac'd.And it was really, really SAD. The Mac Geniuses told us that the hard drive had completely failed and based on their assessments none of the data was recoverable. Billy, of course, rewarded their dilligence and good news by immediately purchasing a new iMac while I, devastated, cradled our deceased, but still warm, little harddrive in my arms with nothing but a flimsy plastic bag

I am leaving for our annual girls' trip to Florida in less than 2 days and instead of using this quiet moment to pack and plan I am, ridiculously, blogging. Why? Because I can't in good conscience let that Tennessee Williams poem languish any longer on the screen and also because I am notorious for finding ways to needlessly squander my time so that no matter what I am frantically rushing in the

9 years ago, today, Billy convinced me to forego a friend's St. Patrick's Day party and instead drive with him up to Malibu. We were both living in Huntington Beach and had only been dating for about 4 months. Somehow, in that short time, we had crashed head-first into an all-consuming romance where we were convinced we should spend the rest of our lives together. Now, of course, we both freely

Et tu, Target?Yesterday, while enjoying a leisurely shopping binge at Target, I came face to face with our nation's credit crisis, and couldn't help but feel betrayed by the store that I have grown to think of not only as a friend, but an ally during shaky economic times.I filled my cart with random necessities and random non-necessities and approached the check out counter. I was, of course,

I am still basking in the beauty that my dear friend Amanda sent in the form of a Christmas card this year. Can I even categorize a photo like this as a Christmas card? This is her, underwater, with her beautiful baby, Bria Rose. She lives in Kauai and is apparently part-mermaid.

HOW TO HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFEStep 1. Find a snake in the backyard.Step 2. Push through all your paralyzing fears to capture said snake and place in tightly lidded shoebox.Step 3. Boast to your friends and husband about how you bravely caught a huge snake and how you are SO GLAD, because NOW that the snake is securely captured it can be identified, and NOW you can be sure it
