Last year I gave up meat for Lent. It was challenging for only a few days and then I pretty much adjusted. This year, I wanted to kick it up a notch. How you ask? I’m giving up laziness. Here’s what that really means: #1 40 days of working out- This is going to be … Continue reading »

My Findings Were Eye-Opening.
Almost 2 weeks ago I decided that I was going to track every hour of my day and see how I was using my time. I logged everything I did the whole week, and then took a week to really think about what I observed. Below are my findings (please welcome some nifty charts and … Continue reading »
Blogging is a bitch.
Hey we hit 40,000 page views — That’s pretty cool! Only a month a go I wrote about our first big success so it seems that we are growing and loved but, I have to be honest with you readers, sometimes blogging is a total raging, hormonal BITCH. Half the time we put out material … Continue reading »

Photolust: Jillian Kay
It all started with this goldfish bowl, and if you think I’m kidding you’re totally wrong. A few years ago I met Jillian because a friend of mine told me she was doing head shots in San Jose and I desperately needed some. Being the online diva that I am, the first thing I did … Continue reading »

Not because of the heart pouring teenage soul series, but because I’ve taken bits of everything and strewn them together into a stew of ideology. This time of year is dedicated to the traditions of Easter, and that includes Lent. Traditionally … Continue reading »
Moving- Nothing about it is awesome.
In the next three weeks I will be moving from my delightful apartment in Pacifica and heading south back to San Jose. Today the woman who will be subletting my place came to view it and decided immediately that it was a great fit for her husband who loves to surf. Warms my heart to … Continue reading »
a new look (in more ways than one)
So my blog(s) needed a makeover. It’s been the same since 2010 and with 2012 approaching sooner than I will notice I had a moment of ah-hah and pushed together all three of my blogs. Why? ‘Cause I’m tired of not providing enough content for any of them to make it worthwhile to subscribe to. … Continue reading »
