typically.eclectic.: Mic Check - 1,2 - 1,2 →
My baby girl is blogging! She’s really smart and funny and pretty [as if that matters.]
[IT DOES.]
Check her out. She’s the best!
typicallyeclectic:
I am back. After a long hiatus from the rocky start of my blog, lots of thinking & stressing, and the new year [plus, the encouragement of one very special friend] - it’s time that I pick this thing back up and start creating.

Awesomeness Abounds: Me, as a parent. →
heylaney:
In bullet form. Because me, as a parent, has very limited typing time:
It’s much more intuitive than I thought it would be. I’m a “go to the information” type person but all those books I bought? Those posts and articles I bookmarked? They’re gathering literal and figurative…
This is lovely. You’re both beautiful mothers & it makes me love my own that much more.

Girl with a Lesson Plan: In the midst of Occupy... →
I could not agree with this more. Given that both of my parents are police officers, it gets incredibly frustrating to hear people generalize ALL police officers as brutal, non-peaceful people.
girlwithalessonplan:
In the midst of Occupy ____________, please keep in mind there are good police officers out there.
I’m likely in the minority here, and yes, I know I am biased because I am in a...

DAUGHTERS OF SIMONE FEATURED ON THE HUFFINGTON... →
octaviaminor:
Life is laugh-out-loud funny sometimes. Yesterday was the perfect example. We officially launched Daughters of Simone 4 months ago and really only put decent inventory up 3 weeks ago. We’re updating our structure and constantly asking ourselves what we can do to sustainably build this business. We began as two girls who met every Wednesday over homemade dinners and vino to discuss...

Leaving My Options Open
Me: I have a new celebrity crush for my list.
Boyfriend: Who is it?
Me: Mark Ballas.
Boyfriend: Does he have as many Twitter followers as me?
Me: Let's see - you have 94, he has 88,000.
Boyfriend: Hmph.
[Seconds later...]
Me: You know what a celebrity crush means, right?
Boyfriend: ...
Me: It means...
Boyfriend: No, NO! Stop right there. I know what you're going to say and I do not authorize that.
Me: I authorize it for you!
Boyfriend: I'm no fool. There's a lot higher possibility of you sleeping with someone of celebrity stature because you're a lot more attractive and female and pretty and you're interrupting my homework, good day!

Decisions.
So I am lucky. Blessed. Whatever you want to call it. & I think I have expressed that on this blog.
I love my life.
About 7 months ago, I started working really, really, REALLY hard to get a job that I was sure was perfect for me. It was in the industry I was sure I wanted to work in, it would push me, it would challenge me, I would learn new things and be forced to innovate. I got the job...
Compliments from My Future Roommate
“Love, of all the people I’ve kissed in the past two weeks, you’re easily top five.”
My Future Roommate
Me: Thank you. Thank you very much for farting in my bed.
Aaron: Love, it's not a big deal. I fart in your bed all the time.

Adventures
As one of his 8 Chanukah gifts, I bought Aaron an adventure. [I know. I’m the best shiksa ever.]
My dude is the kind that would rather be gifted with an experience than an object, so I selected a three-hour guided hike through the mountains of Montana de Oro State Park, which sits almost in the middle of California about an hour north of Santa Barbara and right past San Luis Obispo. We...

Moostache
I’m a volunteer Advisor for a YMCA group called Youth & Government. There are several different Y&G delegations throughout California and the “mascot” of my delegation is a moose, as selected by our kids.
At our first training & elections conference in November, I bought fake mustaches for all of the advisors because it was Movember and, hello, it’s funny....

1.2.11
I’m still a sickly little thing today; pathetic, really. Aaron & I have been on the road home from Napa since 2pm. Inclement weather has caused all sorts of freeway closures & car accidents and bumpertobumper traffic, so it’s been 7 hours of driving with no end in sight.
It could be worse though. I could be making this drive by myself in this god awful weather being...
