The prompt for the Wordless Wednesday Linky Group this week is “Halloween.” I confess that I’ve never been a very big fan of Halloween, but at my relatively advanced age, I have grown to enjoy the fun of dressing up in costumes. These beauties are not mine–they were worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love–but they wouldn’t be out of place at the RenFaire. This gown and riding habit could be yours for a minimum bid of $5000 […]
It is a total cheat to call this a Flashback Friday shot, since I just took it this morning…but because I am wearing a time machine, I’m taking it. The “Exploding TARDIS” pencil skirt, with its Van Gogh-inspired print referencing the Series 5 episode “Vincent and the Doctor,” is letting me sneak a little cosplay into the office today. (30 days till the Doctor Who 50th-anniversary special, y’all!) Also flashing back this Friday: Desiree Kim […]
Well, these were pretty laid back, from what I could tell–just hanging out at the mall… This week’s Wordless Wednesday Linky Group theme was suggested by Susanna. document.write(”); Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.

Seven* years ago this weekend, this guy and I married each other. We’re both taking the day off on Monday, our actual anniversary, to wander around town and enjoy each other’s company. I don’t think we’ll get quite this dressed up, though. 26–Happy Anniversary! Love you, 28 *edited because 2006 was 7 years ago, not 8, and this accountant can’t do mental arithmetic Florinda and PaulSaturday, October 21, 2006The Westlake Village InnWestlake Village, California Also flashing back […]
I haven’t checked in at the Sunday Salon for a few weeks now, other than that time I talked about why this reader writes, and it looks like I won’t get there this weekend either (a houseguest through Sunday night, and a day off with Tall Paul on Monday), so I thought I’d do a little Bookkeeping here today. Reading I’m performing a potentially dangerous bit of book juggling right now–I’ve got three print books […]

…do fictional Realtors from TV sitcoms get bus-bench ads like real-life Realtors do. Phil Dunphy’s bench, on Franklin Avenue east of Highland “Watch a new episode of Modern Family tonight on ABC!” If you want. Or DVR it and watch it later–that’s what I’ll do. Or watch something else.

The Wordless Wednesday gang has decided to photo-blog twice a week, so welcome to our first Flashback Friday! This photo was taken by my husband near his family’s fishing cabin in the eastern Sierras at just this time of year, eight years ago–the edits are all my fault, though. Autumn at Lower Twin Lake, Bridgeport, CA, October 2005 I’ll update this post later today with links, so you can go check out the other gals’ […]
My great-grandparents, and some of their children, arrived in the United States in the wave of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe that landed on these shores in the early twentieth century. Like most of the rest, they were greeted by Lady Liberty as they sailed into New York Harbor and disembarked at Ellis Island. Last summer, I had the chance to discover what they saw when they arrived. June 2012: Two perspectives of the […]
Time Midafternoon on Saturday Place At the kitchen desk, under the ceiling fan, listening to the TV in the other room, waiting for a furniture delivery (a small sleeper sofa for the guest room and a matching chair, the last of our big purchases for the new house) Eating Nothing right now, but I may go hunt for a snack soon–most likely a granola bar. I don’t want to fill up too much, since we […]
I don’t know how to sail. No one in my family has a boat. But when “Envious/Jealous” popped up for our Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday prompt this week, I knew it was time to own up to my envy of people who get to spend their days like this. Sailing, East-Coast style: New York Harbor, Boston Harbor, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine (bonus: Portland Head Light, Portland, Maine) document.write(”); Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email […]
