Wednesday was a mess of best made plans going awry. I tried to head to the Getty under the impression that the summer hours had it open until 9pm every day. Not so! That’s only the case on Friday and Saturday nights– so be warned if you try showing up at 5:30 on a Wednesday.
I was visiting my friend L yesterday and finally (because I’m such a slacker) met her new baby (who is adorable beyond words). I kept looking at this perfect little person and thinking about the amazing world of possibilities that are ahead of her. She can be anything, do anything and pursue any avenue she
I was aimlessly drifting through Twitter a while ago (as I do when I’m procrastinating), and I ran across a post about someone who was moving.

I can’t begin to name the piece, though it feels remarkably Gershwin-like (are those strains of Summertime I hear?). The children who were running
I’m trying to grasp the subtle (and not so subtle) nuances associated with clothing messaging—and I don’t mean t-shirt logos. Don’t worry if you are confused. I am also befuddled by the concept.
