Not Bad . . . For A Kid!






My teen is really growing up. I know this because she is starting to seriously narrow down her career choices. She's gone from wanting to be a fairy princess to an American Idol to a child psychologist and now there's some buzz about international business. I've enjoyed being an eyewitness all these years to my child's metamorphosis. Of course, what she decides to do with her life is up to her. It always has been.

But if you ask me, I think she has some real talent as a photographer, as you can see for yourself. Keep in mind that these pictures of her are self-portraits. She posed for the camera while holding it at arm's length at the same time. She's both Tyra Banks and Annie Liebowitz all at once.
What do YOU think??

Where Are All The Mens?

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and you know what that means?? It's THE best day of the year to run errands and get all your items checked off your "TO DO" list because there is NOBODY around, Ladies!

Today was multi-tasker heaven! I was the first car at all the traffic lights; I zipped through the express lane at Ralph's with more than 10 items and didn't feel guilty about it; and best of all, there were very few cars in the drive-thru at In 'N Out. I literally got in and out -- and that, my friends, is a small miracle at the most popular burger joint in Southern California.

It's a ghost town out there because everyone who calls himself an American is plopped in front of a flat-screen TV somewhere spooning up chili and watching that overrated match-up between the Steelers and the Cardinals (at least I think that's who's playing!) Including my teen and tween, who are with their dad at his annual Super Bowl gala, but probably wishing they were with me. (They're not big football fans, either.)

I'll admit it's quite nice to have the whole town to myself, practically. While there were a few other women out and about, with whom I exchanged that knowing "aren't-we-the-smart-ones?" glance, I did miss seeing men around. Especially in Home Depot.

A world without men. It was a little eerie.
