It's All About Me

About Me

It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

I heard about Splendora from...

Dogpile five years ago when I was trying to track down a pair of shoes. I've been hooked ever since.

I'm Listening To

Joshua Radin, Zero 7, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jose Gonzales, Sia, Imogen Heap, Bitter Sweet

I'm Watching

Make Me a Supermodel, LOST, Chelsea Handler, John & Kate + 8, The Soup

I'm Renting These DVDs

Season 2 of Big Love

I'm Reading

Nothing ... life's too hectic right now. Do Splendora diaries count?

I Just Bought

A C&C tank

Style Icon(s)

A little bit Charlotte York, a little bit Faye Dunaway c. 1968

Celebrity Alter Ego(s)

I've been told Debbie Gibson, a comparison I've been trying to live down for 20 years

What's in Your Handbag

Papers galore, a pair of baby socks, and a ringing cell phone I can't find

What's in Your Closet?

Lots of tanks, halters, linen, and strappy wedges. I do live in Arizona after all.

Favorite Cities

Boston, Santa Monica, Dublin, Paris, Costa Rica (not a city, but it is a fave)

First Concert

Yeah, I'll admit it: Neil Diamond.

Dream Threesome

It's an Olympic year, so I'm dreaming of Michael Phelps & Bode Miller

Thanks Melissa

Your comment on my wedding video made me crack up! I wish he had done something cheesey like that so at least I'd have something to laugh about in the video. Yeah, it's a total bummer but at least we have great photos and I'm sure we'll be looking at those more anyway.

Thank you for your comments on ....

.... comfy heels and politics diary entries. I love the motto on the bottom of the Hollywould shoes. And I hear you on the politcal front, it will be a long year. I did however take the positive approach and emailed one friend some of what I said in my diary and got agreement back. I am glad I nipped it in the bud; friendship saved.

P.S. Love the new photos.

I'm here!

Thanks for checking in on me Melissa B! I haven't been around these parts as much as I've wanted to be. My day job is helping produce a performing arts festival and while everyone slows down for Christmas, we gear up for a major production. Eek. I do manage to sneak in some Splendora Diary reading to keep me up-to-date on my favorite blogstresses though :) Speaking of, how are you hot mama?

Thanks for the wake up call

Thanks for the wake up call, Melissa. You kindly responded to my missive about moving to a small town from Daytona. I was venting just to vent but having someone read about it who wasn't my close personal friend just agreeing with me, who could objectively look at the situation, opened my eyes. A fabulous life is all around me but I'm finding reasons not to embrace it. I live seventy footsteps from the lake, have a jetski and don't have to work. What on earth is my problem. It's not even EASIER to be complacent. It takes negative energy to be this way. Enough of it, I say! Thanks so much. Happy baby-birthing!

Hi you

I love your pup, he looks like a giant lover! Thank you for your concern regarding the gray wolves! I just wanted to post and see if I could help the issue reach more peeps. You are one of my favorite Splendorinas. I LOVE that you love animals! See you later, sweetness! : )
