There is nothing like spending the afternoon or evening at a Southern California beach: the smell and breeze of the air, the climate, the laughter and energy of the people, dog's splashing in the water, the beach activities, daisy dukes bikini's on top, guys in swim trunks - what's not to love? I have had [...]
I used to work for a traffic information provider company in Minneapolis for a couple years and later transferred the job to LA. My job required me to input data from our traffic sources (i.e. police, fire, highway patrol and emergency scanners, traffic software data, cameras, radio stations, traffic congestion flow maps) and enter it [...]
Today I am celebrating my 6 year anniversary as a Southern Californian and boy am I damn proud of it! After driving on the 15 coming from Vegas in a packed car, god awful traffic and brutal desert heat, I crossed the California border with my mom on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2010. I remember when [...]

It was interesting and a bit eye opening to say the least. I am currently single and enjoying my life with positivity and hope that you might [...]
I'm back with Part II of my cooking adventure with Maria Menounos' "Every Girl's Guide to Cooking" book! As you saw in Part I, I give my comments, rating and the total number of times I swore. I am still having fun with cooking, although I must admit that chopping vegetables and fruit isn't really [...]
I know this blog focuses on Southern California and the LA area, but I have gotten the question asked by people in previous years wanting to know if they should move to LA and NYC. I also gave my two cents to a Facebook friend who recently reached out asking for everyone's opinion. I decided it was [...]
