So, as a general rule I don't eat donuts. Nothing against them. But I don't love donuts. I don't go out of my way to pick up a donut at church on Sunday (which is where I'm most likely to have a run-in with a donut, but that's not important right now). See? Donuts are not even on my radar. But we had ...

Contrast & compare
There are people who, when you see pictures of them as kids, you go, "Hmmm.... I just can't see it."You know what I'm talking about. I always think this when I see some child actors who have grown up and I think to myself, "Really?? They were so adorable once... but I just can't see it anymore." And ...

It's kind of a cool ...

Take a deep breath and just enjoy this…
I tell them every year on December 1st. "Stop what you're doing, take a deep breath and just enjoy this..."

(right, ...
Day One.
Happy first day of December! In our little corner of The Bubble that is Orange County, California, (I know bubbles don't have corners - it's a metaphor....but that's not important right now) it seems that it has become mandatory to decorate for Christmas in the moments following Thanksgiving. Seriously. The bird has barely hit ...
