I never thought I’d say this, but I miss California. I miss the way you can go outside and not break into a sweat from the sheer heat and humidity, that is both oppressive and shocking – given that it’s only the beginning of April. I miss our salads. Oh do I miss our salads…

How To Make It Into My Next Book – Vacation Edition
I’ve been somewhat quiet on the blog lately, mainly because I’ve been on vacation for three weeks now. I have one more left to go and I am certainly ready to get home. It isn’t that I just love the community in which I live in southern California SOOOOOOO much. You guys know that isn’t…
My Threesome With Pancho and Jesus; or, the Most Humiliating Day of My Life
I couldn’t decide what to title this blog post. I already wrote one early this morning, but then I experienced perhaps the most humiliating and simultaneously hilarious day of my entire life. Mostly humiliating. Think about the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to you. Maybe on your wedding day a bird flew over…
Did Somebody Say “Get Me Away From These Douchey Danes!”?
Let me start by refreshing everyone’s memory: My husband freaked out a little bit because I was sitting around crying being so kidless and fancy free, the Pookies being gone for this 12 day trip away from me. For the record, I was not crying because I had free time, but rather I realized how…
Vacation Report 6: Chicago Food versus California Cuisine
So I’m pretty sure I have mentioned this before, but prior to our vacation to my sweet, home Chicago, I essentially starved myself for the months preceding so that I could eat whatever I wanted without worrying about returning to California in a hefty bag (for lack of any fitting clothing). While here, though, I…
Vacation Reports 2, 3, 4, 5: I Feel Nice Again
Apparently I am becoming nice again. In fact, as I write this there is a large group of about thirty people in the lobby of our hotel, all making noise and being the biggest pigs humanity has to offer – and I’m not even going to blog about them. Half of them are not fully…
Planes, Trains, and B(itch)Mobiles
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was such a great movie. Goddamn it was. It might be my secret love of Steve Martin – ever since Saturday Night Live and LA Story, I have always had an affinity for him. More likely, it’s the fact that seeing that movie over and over again has made me realize…
Porking My Way To My Past
Okay, before you all get your panties in a bunch over the fact that I used the term “porking” in the title of this blog, consider first what I do not mean. For one, if you were thinking I meant I was going to “pork” all kinds of people from my past, that’s obviously not…
Arch Nemesis #57: the Pacific Ocean
That’s right, here I go again being nutty Heather – adding things to the Arch Nemesis List that make absolutely no sense at all. Ultimately, I’m almost certain that my hatred of the Pacific Ocean is nothing more than my ridiculous fear of it. The ocean is a beast. A beast filled with things that…
