The Life of a Working Mom in the O.C.
Yesterday was my son’s eighth birthday. This is the first year that we didn’t have a big party. I had no pre-party planning anxiety, which I usually do. It feel awkward and so nice, though. My husband, my son, and some of their friend’s went to Palm Springs. They went shooting in the desert, they [...]
Aloha, is my way of saying, “Hello Monday”, today! How is everyone? Can you feel summer creeping up on you? Is it almost the end of the school year? Where did the time go? Hello to some speedwork on the treadmill! A little over a week ago, I ran the OC Marathon Half. I had [...]
Hello Monday! Hello to starting a fresh new week! Eeek… Hello to school {for the kid}, work {me and the hubs}, dentist appointments, run club {kid}, running {me}, and soccer {kid}!

Last weekend I hopped on the freeway right after I picked the kid up from school. We headed towards Palm Springs. My parent’s have a place there and I hadn’t been for awhile. Plus it was a lot warmer there than it was at home in Orange County. We got stuck in some traffic but [...]
So my son is sorta obsessed with that song, “Gangnam Style” {over 900 million hits on YouTube} by Psy. Have you heard of it? I’m sure you have. While listening to the radio sometime in early November, I heard KIIS FM advertise their “Jingle Ball” concert series that was happening on two dates in December, and Psy [...]
