The holy (nail) grail.

I have written before, many, many times, on both this site and over on the other, about my obsession with color. I am obsessed with the color of my hair. I am obsessed with the color of my rooms (and yours). And I am Ob. Sessed. With nail color. And it's weird. Because it has nothing to ...

“Friendship is thicker than blood”

This morning, as I drove my daughter to her last day of school for the year, we blasted One of our favorite musicals, Rent. We were on Disk 2. Her favorite.

A breath of fresh air.

Taking a little (and I think much needed) breather. See you very soon!

A whole new level.

This weekend was pretty awesome. And it's been a while since we could say that so let me pause a second so I can knock on wood. OK, back. Anyway, instead of going to the shore or taking a day trip, we stuck around, walked down the empty streets, soaked up the sun and enjoyed our fantastic ...
