Wino


A woman was sipping a glass of wine sitting on the patio with her husband.

She said, "I love you so much, I don't know how I could ever live without you ..."

Her husband asks, "Is that you, or the wine talking?"


She replies, "It's me, ... talking to the wine."

KeaNO

Back in the day, we all loved Keanu. He seemed fun in Bill and Ted, the perfect boyfriend in Speed, the is he gay or straight in My Own Private Idaho, then Mr.
Black Ninja in Matrix before he got all sad and homeless-guy looking.
He just wrote a book - Ode To Happiness. A little poetry like this:


 
Happy yet?

Scottsdale Public Art

Great presentation about the art in old Scottsdale. We don't get a lot of history around here, so it's always fun to go back as far as we can, the ghost stories, the gossip, the wild women, the cowboys and Indians of the past, riding up Scottsdale Road, all the way north to Camelback.

Damn Shoe Whore

Last month - the Nine West sandals I got at DSW for under $18 bucks.
This month - the Nine West store next door.

Movie Madness - Submarine

I love Oliver Tate.

Summer Solstice

It's that time again. A little Labyrinth walk to celebrate the summer solstice. I still don't quite understand what that is, but Cave Creek at sunset is gorgeous. And there's a gong!

Shawna and Dan

The maj ladies went wild. For over a decade, we've watched the kids grow up from the dining room perches during all of the Mah Jong games, as the cracks and bams were flying around. Tonight the eldest maj daughter, Shawna, 24, married her high school sweetheart, Dan, in a beautiful, moving ceremony, followed by a party we'll all remember for a long time - the cocktail hour, the photos, the Electric Slide, the getting low, low, low, low, the who's leading who here?, the handsome hubbies in suits, the father-daughter dance,  the My Big Fat Greek Wedding similarities - wild vs. white bread, the new friends and especially the old ones, who've got more spunk than I've ever seen. Maj will never be the same.

Baller


Shana was on FIRE tonight!! Called in to help for a double-header on a City of Mesa co-ed softball league, she moved right in and took charge, smacking the ball across the field, sliding, manning first base like nobody's business (not one ball got past her) and blending in to a team full of fun players like she's known them forever. Shawn, Zach and I led the (small) crowd in the peanut gallery, clapping, cheering, even doing a perfectly timed three man wave when Shana nailed a double, bring a couple of teammates home. They won both games! She was awesome. 



TGIF Lipstick Call

Pita Jungle's always the happening place. Cool servers, amazing food, ridiculously low happy hour prices. The gang surrounded the hummus and sangria filled table, snagged the walking by masseuse, Sharon, and tried to figure out how much is too much honesty, why we aren't the loving, fun, zen friends, summer plans, budgeting, how a little peppermint essential oil can kill a migraine, the upcoming slumber party and playing a Where's Waldo game to find where we all can retire, chuck it all and live the good life on a beach somewhere.
