My Surreal Life: I Had Lunch With Jessica Alba Today 2008-04-04 01:59:00 I spent five hours at Kira's middle school today. It was their Open House, and for two hours before classroom visits they had a World's Fair with food booths, games, jugglers and live music. I had volunteered to set up and work the PTA bake sale, so there I was in our makeshift booth made out of lunch benches, with my frosting-smeared shirt and plastic gloves hustling brownies and cupcakes for Read more:Lunch

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This 2008-04-08 11:30:00 I don't believe in dreams as prophecy, but I do think they can say a lot about the person having them. For instance, maybe they can tell us the difference between someone who is worried about school and her academic future, and someone whose biggest concern is getting jacked at McDonalds.

Keep the Ball, Just Give Me The Peanuts and CrackerJack 2008-04-07 10:30:00 MetroDad has a great post up right now about baseball. Specifically, baseball players of Asian descent, who he calls "our greatest weapons in battling mainstream media's perception of the emasculated Asian male." I say amen to that, since Asians certainly aren't getting any respect in Hollywood, where all the roles for rickshaw drivers and grocery owners have completely dried up.
I also have a Read more:Peanuts
Look Who's Talking 2008-04-11 18:55:00 Awhile ago I told you we had gotten a new cat, Milkshake. Isn't he cute? We love him to death, but problem is sometimes he does bad things, things that make me threaten to make him live in the garage, or put on that humiliating, pink furry cat sweater I bought him as a joke.
Thank goodness I took that Cat Whispering class! Best five-grand I ever spent, even though it was being given by a guy Read more:Talking
'My Interview With Alicia Witt', or 'Why I Cringe At The Sound Of My Voice' 2008-04-18 18:58:00 The spring issue of Genlux magazine is on the newsstands, and my interview with Alicia
Witt (88 Minutes) is the cover story. Which is exciting because the photos are beautiful, but honestly, my interview pales in comparison. (Although, in my defense they did change a word here and there.) And holy crap - my byline is like 90-point type, so there's no pretending I didn't do it.
Why is it that Read more:Sound

A Baby Shower! 2008-05-05 05:44:00 I was asked to be a part of a virtual baby shower for three wonderful bloggers who are all expecting their second child. The theme? Advice for moving from one child to a crowd of two. I was happy to oblige, and put the date down on my calendar.
Then a funny thing happened on Friday - my computer crashed. But I was too busy to deal with it, because it was time to pick up both my girls from Read more:Shower

My Perfect Mother's Day Weekend 2008-05-11 16:41:00 Happy Mother's Day! Hopefully you are relaxing in your pajamas and ignoring the stack of dishes in the kitchen while your husband and children feed you bonbons and champagne. As for me, I wrote about my ideal Mother's Day weekend for Uptake this week:
There’s a column in the Los Angeles Times every Thursday called ‘My Favorite Weekend
’ where celebrities write about what their perfect weeke Read more:Perfect
My Favorite Restaurants. And By The Way, Art Supplies Are Edible. 2008-05-14 16:10:00 I wrote about my favorite restaurants in L.A. this week for UpTake. I started off my post with a mention about the time I ate an eraser. Maybe not the best way to start off an article that's sharing my culinary opinions, but there you go. (Also, if you know of where they serve the most badass margarita in your city, go on over and leave a comment on my UpTake post. I'm going to do a Read more:Favorite

Sometimes It's NOT The Thought That Counts 2008-07-11 18:57:00 I'm hosting a giveaway on my reviews blog, a first for me. I'm giving away a cookie bouquet to the person who can tell me the most pathetic gift story ever. I'm not talking about a sweater that was the wrong color, or the time you received a sauté pan when you clearly stated that you wanted a griddle. I'm talking about the most grievous of gift giving crimes, the ones that leave you speechless Read more:Sometimes
