Woke up at 4 a.m. –– a surprisingly good night of sleep considering that I dropped Belle off last night with Kate, her pre-guardian before Daniel and Lana (FYI, Kate is spectacular and her parents even raise labs as guide dogs so she is more than well qualified for a night of Belle-sitting) –– all to catch...

I needed to swing by H&M today to get a few things for my Cancun trip –– like white t-shirts etc. –– and in the pile of things I bought, I realized the clerk had forgotten to remove one of the security dye tags they have to discourage shoplifters. The thing is that it’s an $9.95 t-shirt –– and my...

In Bikram today, the newish teacher –– someone I think is intelligent and competent and nice –– super-bizarrely decided to open all three windows and keep them open … even though the temperature had plummeted to 97 degrees. The standard for a Bikram class is 105 degrees, so her doing this was totally...

I’m happy to say that on my secret tumblr blog where I write about my diet/exercise regime every day, reporting my weight loss (or gain), waist size, Body Fat and BMI (taken from a $40 device I bought on Amazon, so I’m not sure how precise it is), I now have exactly one follower. And frankly, I...

Tomorrow morning my assistant makes another storage run for me –– I’m too busy with 2 clients + a newsletter to write + a dozen promotional emails, plus my Cancun workout + a play –– and somehow this second round of packing stirred some moody moments in me. It’s going to be sad to leave the cot...

My new assistant needs an assistant –– at least one. Things are so crazy busy –– especially with Mercury in Retrograde –– that he’s going to start pre-interviewing interns for me for some of the social media stuff re: the novel’s release in June. In other suc...

Somehow, itt knows that I’m interested in a new Jack Spade knapsack –– the ad is literally on EVERY page I visit that has ads.  It’s terrifying how (I think via the Face Place) that somehow this is communicated this to every site I visit.  (I’m not kidding). In other news: 30 minutes of J...

In some ways, almost by definition, owners of convertibles are optimists. We belief that the weather’s going to be consistently good enough to justify the added expense for our vehicles’ ability to open up to the sky at will. My optimism was tested today as I looked at the weather forecast for ...
