Some Christmas presents are best given early...
We have a cold rain this morning in Southern California and we were up at 5:30am because hubby had an early business appointment. One of his Christmas presents was sitting there boxed up. (What was in it was a beautiful flannel- lined rain jacket which he desperately needed.) We searched the house... Sign in to see full entry.

Another killer pilates session...
I am totally wiped out! Another hour of intense pilates this morning has me home lazily resting in the sun with Mister Cat. I've been really enjoying working with my new trainer- she's amazing- but I am surprised at how much more rest time I need afterwards, compared to a few years ago. However,...

Got lost today... sort of
There is a really neat health food store in Orange County California called 'Mother's Market.' Today I motored off to find one of their locations and got kind of lost on the way back. While in the market, I scouted through all sorts of mysterious shopping areas, kind of meandered around, choosing... Sign in to see full entry.
Alone in the beautiful pool...
Last night I found myself in our apartment's beautiful sparkly blue warm Olympic-size (non-chlorine) pool.... lazily paddling from one end to the other and back. The palm trees lining the pool were lit, the sky was dark with a few planes flying overhead, the pool was huge and I was the only one in... Sign in to see full entry.

A wonderful gift...
Somehow I've reached that magical state of being where I actually want to exercise and get back into shape. This happens periodically and it's never really clear why. For those of you who want to say 'Oh barf!' at this point, I couldn't agree more. When I'm not into exercise and I hear this kind of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Queen
Today we saw the movie, 'The Queen,' starting Helen Mirren. She plays Queen Elizabeth around the time of Diana's death. It was a wonderful movie- Ms. Mirren should be nominated for an academy award for her excellent performance! The 'Cheshire Cat' grinning actor that played Tony Blair did a pretty...

Not your typical Orange County lady...
I'm starting to get a fix on the 'typical' Orange County look for women around here: glittery, fashion-conscious, detail oriented, gorgeous hair, gotta have a nice car, great clothes... but I see a lot of 'vacant' faces too. I admit, I've cleaned up my act a little so I don't stick out like the... Sign in to see full entry.

Wiped out from my slave driver pilates teacher !
Muscle memory is a funny thing. I've been doing pilates for about 15 years- started doing it way before anyone knew what it was... but the problem is, I haven't been doing it for the last two years! Today I had my first session with my new pilates instructor (conveniently located about 6 blocks... Sign in to see full entry.
