Yasmine and I slapped hands in the corner tonight and, as a tag team of birthday celebrants, officially transitioned (in my mind, at least) from her birthday to mine. Or, at a minimum, we agreed to share the next few days as mutual birthday space or something like that. Bottom line: this entire week will … Continue reading Warning! Birthday week has officially begun…

I’m all over the internets!

They do this Ship 4 Free thing which is an offering of 4 bottles of wine, shipped … Continue reading Delso House White – Summer 2011
Mother’s Day

There was nothing I would have changed about the day, other than to have included more guests. There was very little indulgence in the traditional sense, but you folks know how I am - happy to be productive, … Continue reading Mother’s Day
