Girlfriend of The Year

Girlfriend of the year

I’m an amazing girlfriend.  OK, well technically I don’t officially have that title yet, but after what I did yesterday I should really just be granted the “Best Girl Friend of the Year” award without actually having to go through the whole awkward talk.  I actually thought maybe I would forget how to be a good girlfriend since it has been so long.  Just when I was about to order How to be a Good Girl Friend for Dummies on Amazon, and was contemplating over the box set that includes the instructional manual for born again virgins I was thrown smack dab into a girlfriend-esque situation and realized it’s kind of like riding a bike. He decided to take his parents to Vegas since they are here from Sweden and have never been before.  I actually did get the invite which I was … [Read more...]

Mulligan’s for Mama’s

Golf2

I am officially a golf lesson drop out for the umpteenth time and need to get back to my lessons.  I keep telling myself there are a million reasons why I need to learn to play, I take the lessons, but never actually get to the game.  Yesterday was the John Margolis golf tournament which is a tournament for the real estate industry in South Orange County.  Once again, I found myself not golfing….so as an attempt to motivate myself to actually get to a game I am writing the top reasons why women should golf. The clothes Is it strange that I envied The Girls Next Door when they put on their ‘sexy’ golf attire?  Golf attire goes beyond geekdom.  For any girl who missed the opportunity to go to Catholic school, this is your opportunity to put on an outfit, that is meant to be … [Read more...]

Punk’d for Dating

Coinstar

Have you ever been in a situation that is so absurd you think you must be getting “Punk'd”?  Or for the older crowd: have you ever felt like you might have been caught on an episode of Candid Camera?  Only to realize that you simply have attracted a certified nut case into your life.  Remember that saying: “Smile!  You’re on Candid Camera!!!”?  It’s all fun and games, until someone pokes their eye out.  Wait….that didn’t come out right.  It’s all fun and games until it happens in your dating life and you aren’t getting punked.  It’s actually simply a result of the pathetic pool of single people to choose from. I have come to the conclusion that I need to create a spinoff of Ashton Kutcher’s show that is about punking people on dates or in relationships.  … [Read more...]

Products to Like on Facebook

Rogaine

Why do I love holidays?  Friends: yes.  Family: yes.  Good food and beverages: yes.  But let’s not forget the fact that I get to catch up on sex, trash and fashion via Cosmo, US Weekly, and Teen Vogue (gotta get my Bieber Fever fix).  This is where I get my real education. Take, for example, an ad that I learned a great deal from.  I was flipping through one of my many magazines, that I read from front to back, when I came across an ad for KY Jelly.  Surprised that this would be in a magazine?  Not if you’re reading Cosmo.  This is actually one of the 'G' rated pages.  What WAS surprising was the little piece of the ad that said: “Make sure you ‘like’ us on Facebook!” Oh dear.  I get the whole social media thing, I actually get a lot of business through social … [Read more...]

Laguna Niguel Bank Robbery

At 4:30 I was going home in Laguna Niguel and noticed several cop cars near the complex right near my house.  I thought maybe it was just another domestic dispute and didn’t think much of it.  A short while later helicopters began to circle the neighborhood.  Ruh Row! Let me get one thing straight.  I live in a very safe neighborhood.  So safe that many times I’ll leave my car running in the driveway.  So to hear helicopters in the middle of the day, or ever for that matter, is very strange.  I went out to the Starbucks off of Golden Lantern around 6:00 to go grab a coffee, and noticed more cop cars and loads of people.  I also noticed that the local Citi Bank was taped off with yellow tape, and several news trucks.  Holy doughnut holes Batman, our local bank had been … [Read more...]

You can be a Winner at the Game of Babs

IMG_2077

In case you haven't noticed it I am a very competitive person. I am 99.999999% sure the parental units are to blame for this one. Sorry Mom and Dad, but I think you missed the parenting class on giving A's for Effort. Anyways, typically, this competitiveness is a good thing, except when you start to take score against yourself because you have no one to compete with. So I know you were really bummed my Game of Life wasn't televised over the weekend, but here are the play by plays. Loss: Henna Tattoo gone bad My attempt of being funny fails miserably. If you missed last weeks post about Jennifer Anniston getting her dog's name tattooed on her foot, I was going to make fun of it by getting my dog's name put on my foot in Henna. I've never gotten a henna tattoo and didn't really know … [Read more...]

Love Letters from Facebook

Big news.......I have found the man I have been searching for my whole life.  I am thoroughly excited to change my status on Facebook.  As soon as I read this love letter he wrote me via Facebook I just knew he was the one.  I have copied and pasted the letter for all of you non-believers out there who think true love may not exist.  The only thing I changed is his e-mail, so that I wont have jealous women trying to steal my little love muffin.  Enjoy the read!  Hello Dear , should i say you are a woman of substance or better still a God sent from above may be you might call it flattering i Am Bobby by name and have come to realize that true love can only come when you don't look for it,but that doesn't mean you should not say hello to a beautiful lady when you see … [Read more...]

Be a Smart Slut

PJ's

Happy Friday friends.  It's almost the holiday weekend.....Holla!!!!  So, I know you were beginning to think this site is all about me.  I have actually been accused of being very self-centered.  My half-brother even got me pj's for Christmas that say I LOVE ME.  I think it was his attempt of being funny, but I guess he didn't get the funny gene, because it was actually somewhat offensive.  Nothing like getting into the holiday spirit like bashing family members!  I think my brother would be overjoyed to hear that I am sitting in my I LOVE ME PJ's, about to write about something that can help women around the world.  Getting outside of myself.... So, I need to explain my thought process on what I am about to write about, so you don't think I'm a crazy person.  This is … [Read more...]

Mannequins Gone Awry

girl mannequins with jewelery

I was getting my hair done yesterday (Can I get an amen that I won't have white trash roots for the fourth of July weened?) and next to my hair place they were putting in a new store.  While I was overjoyed with my hair I was deeply disturbed by the mannequins in the window of the store. I had to take pictures.  It brought me back to a story at Family Classic Cars in San Juan Capistrano.  One of my clients wanted to set me up with this guy named Ray Drysdale that either owned the shop inside Classic Cars or was the manager (I don't really remember).  When I was introduced to Ray he gave me a tour of the store.  I must say that it was the most extensive tour of such a small space I have ever been given, and I have never seen a man so passionate about little things, one of which … [Read more...]
