I’m famous!  Famously frumpy, anyway. With the school’s Dinner Dance & Auction looming and no Katey or sisters in town to help me shop, I turned to Susan Wagner.  From reading her blogs, I know that she’s a mom, she’s my age and she’s a fashionista – something I’ll never be! Here’s the advice she [...]

I actually returned from D.C. with some money still in my pocket and decided I should use it on a new ‘do. So, before Dan left for the office this morning (yes, on a Saturday), I headed over t0 my salon to get a new look.  Not only did I get my ‘do done, but [...]

My dear, wonderful, fun friend Kristina made The Cut today. For the past year she’s been growing out her long, thick, beautiful black (or nearly black) hair for Locks of Love. It has apparently been somewhat of a struggle, as it takes quite some time to dry and can be difficult to style (although I [...]

Staying true to his Gloria Gaynor ringtone, my dad (and mom) survived the visit with us. I talked to my mom from the airport in Austin a little while ago and I told her I thought the weekend went really fast. “Well, I’m glad you thought so,” was her reply. Hmmmm. Does that mean she [...]

Why is it that a few pounds take so much more effort to take off than to put on?  I can eat right and exercise for a few weeks to take off 5 pounds, and then easily put it back on in a weekend.  I know… it’s the beer and wine.  I need some kind [...]
