I may be naive, but I’m not really concerned that the devil, if he/she/it even exists, is going to take over my children because they go all Bela Lugosi one day a year. I feel pretty comfortable all children, for that matter, are safe. Can’t we leave Halloween alone? Pretty please. I’m a Halloween fan,…
I understand why people get behind, feel so passionately about, the environment. I spent this past weekend at the beach. I took a walk Sunday morning. I was hoping to beat the Halloween candy to my ass, so I was walking fast and sweating to Rihanna. I reached the breakwater and decided to return along…
I couldn’t live in Paris. Apart from the fact that I don’t speak French, I just wouldn’t be able to live my day to day there. It’s too much for daily life. My senses would be lavished all the time. The food, the views, the art, the beautiful people, the monuments. My God, even a…

I physically can’t smoke, I suppose I’m happy now that I’m not a smoker, but at the time I…

I have this blouse. I bought it about two years ago. It’s an actual grown up blouse, silky and everything. I brought it home because it was cute and I saw it on the model in the store and thought, “I could wear that.” It has sort of a swirly pattern and it looks very…fun,…
Sundays are Pancake Sunday at our house. It’s really the only day I cook and I’m working on mastering the art of the pancake. We’ve had blueberry pancakes, regular pancakes and this Sunday…buttermilk pancakes. Pancakes are really quite simple, but you need to stick with a basic recipe and don’t mess with it too much.…
