February Showers Bring March Flowers
… well, at least here in SoCal. As you know, I’m from Pittsburgh and let me just say it rains there. A lot. The sky is also gray quite often. Living in Orange County for the past five years made me appreciate rain and – gasp – even miss it. I know we’re all... »

Boo to the City of Orange!
For actually taking to court a couple who is trying to reduce their water consumption. They tore out their lawn and replaced it with fencing and drought-tolerant plants, but that didn’t appease the city. Who (because I can’t believe it and I have to repeat it to myself) is now prosecuting them for not... »
A Plea
Dear Something Corporate, My husband and I were just listening to one of your best songs, “If U C Jordan” and we were wondering if you couldn’t just let bygones be bygones and get your original lineup back together? Smooches, Gina Upated: They will be reunited and performing at Bamboozle Left at Anaheim Stadium this March! OMG! »

That’s right kids. The rumors were all true.

Tanaka Farms
A few weekends ago we visited Tanaka Farms in Irvine. We’ve been trying to support our local business with the added bonus of actually knowing where our food is coming from. On one side you will see a produce “stand” stocked with fresh produce as well as honey, baked goods and jarred deliciousness. On the otherside... »
George’s Best Burgers: Simple honest burger dive in Anaheim
This weekend I’m pretty much residing at the Anaheim Sport Center with my youngest who is in a basketball tournament. The sport center is in one of the grittier sections of Anaheim (Anaheim Blvd and Cerritos). What lightens up the trip is getting to have lunch and dinner over at George’s Best Burger’s.

Letter From a Disney Hater
While my poor infant daughter who has a cold attempts to nap despite having a stuffed-up nose, I came across this article in the LA Times. And this perplexing letter: What I expected: Magic. What I found: It is a run-down amusement park. It feels nothing like the Disney resort in Orlando, Fla. I realize this park... »
Tuesday is Fasting Day for Disney Workers
Listen, I am a pro-union person. I believe that working people usually benefit from having a collective bargaining unit that pits them against management. Because if anyone thinks that management is keeping the best interests of workers in mind, they are absolutely delusional. But. I think that Disney hotel workers and their Unite Here Local 11 are... »

I Squid You Not
It seems that Orange County beaches are being overrun by giant squid. Chthulu would be proud? Ok, maybe I just wrote this post because I couldn’t resist the title. »
Target Misses the Mark
Dear Local Target Store, Have I mentioned that I really do love you? And that it hurts me to write this? I was standing in line with my items that started out as a small list and ballooned (as always) to about a bazillion things. I was tired and impatient, I’ll be honest. I get to the... »
