Over The River And Through The Woods…
To The CHART HOUSE we go! Happy Thanksgiving to you and to us!
It’s Just So Sassy!
I'm doing this new diet, as I referenced earlier, and one of the things you have to do is drink this special recipe water. It has cucumber, lemon, mint and ginger in it, and it's really quite tasty. They call it Sassy Water. I may have a new addiction!
Weight-loss update
I know you're probably wondering how I'm doing on my weight-loss goal, so I'll tell you: I've lost 10 pounds and I realize I have at least 10 more to go. I'm in size 10 jeans now, which is very cool, but I am not done. I had plateau'd for a couple of weeks, so [...]
Sighting: Russell Simmons!
As I met my friend Nina this morning at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in West LA, who should walk in but Russell Simmons. He's a good-looking man, wearing his signature baseball cap and talking on his phone, no doubt making a deal that earned him millions of dollars while I sipped a latte.

Breaking News: Girls’ Night In A Lot Of Fun
Yes, it was no surprise, really, that having some friends over for a few drinks and some pizza was big fun for all. Big laughs, near tears, good fun, talkin' story, as we used to say in Hawaii. Just don't ask me about thongs. No, seriously, don't ask.
Adventures At Costco
OK, take it from me, there's only one way to do Costco: you must pay for the Executive or Business membership, or else you can't shop until 11am — which is ridiculous and breaks up the day. The place doesn't open even for Business members until 10am, which is bad enough, but hey, it's [...]
New Blog, Same Dame
So here it is. I've started a new place to write about my life and Mar Vista Mom will be morphed into a new kind of site. Come on back often to see what's happening!
