I managed to fall asleep “early” tonight (before 1 a.m.). Guess who woke me up at 3 a.m. to ask me for a drink of water and a stroll? Now I can’t fall back to sleep. While I’m awake, I may as well thank gorgeous blogger Skybluepink for giving me this award. I heart you…

Dirty Unsexy Money
I paid for a recent transaction at the post office with a $50 bill. As the cheerful (kidding!) postal worker counted out my change, we both noticed some writing on one of the singles she gave me but neither of us paused to look closely. It was only after I got home that I carefully…
Matchy Matchy
Poor Henry! His problem paw swelled up and he had to have it drained. I believe that if you look up “misery” in the dictionary, you will find this picture. At least the vet thoughtfully color-coordinated Henry’s accessories for him.
Jaded
I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…
The Agony of the Feet
When I saw these kick-ass Frye boots on Gnarlitude Jen‘s blog, I just had to try them, even though a low heel is not my usual style. Unfortunately, when I got them on my feet, I felt like I was wearing rain boots. Even Henry was appalled. Henry: “Um…no. Just no.” I still think these…
London, Day 2: The Wizard of Ossie
Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…
Friends and Family Report
My gorgeous friend (and jewelry-selling assistant) Shawn Love has written, produced and directed a play! “Raw Love” had its first staged reading tonight. Guess who her costume designer is? Keep guessing till you say “Wendy Brandes.” That is the correct answer. Shawn during rehearsal. “Um, yeah, I don’t see that line in the script.” Shawn…
Remembering Mr. Chubbs
Two years ago today, Mr. Chubbs left us for the Great Doggy Bed in the Sky. He was a dog of excellence!
Just When You Thought It Was Safe…
…and you weren’t going to read anything else about big pussies…. Oh noes!!!! In reality, that cat is one of the most petite pussies I have ever encountered. It’s just the angle of the camera that is making him look so large.
Say Hi to Fernando!
Look who arrived by mail today: Fernando Von Bakonstein, aka the iHog. “Hello, bloggers!” He’s already met Gigi. “Someone needs a pedicure.” And he paid a condolence call to Henry, who is trapped in an e-collar again. “You’re right, Henry. This thing sucks.” Thanks to McGone of International House of Blogcakes for generously sharing the…
