She Wants It All

by Jodi McLean Amy suggested that we all go out and do something that brings us joy this weekend, so I am reporting back that I have had a wonderful Florida weekend, so far!  Today we went out on a friend’s boat and played in the Gulf – the current was really strong due to the tide [...]

By Amy Plouf I am all about joining a dating site. I did this when I was single. While it was not how I met Jabie, it was a way to meet guys without having to hang out at bars. Just be careful what you wish for. Dating sites are ideal for limiting the pool [...]

by Jodi McLean I attended opening weekend for the highly embellished SATC2, not once, but twice.  After seeing it the first time, I wasn’t too excited to sit through it again.  I’ve read the reviews, and they haven’t been nice.  I left the theater the first time feeling let down.  Hollywood seems to have crushed [...]

by Amy Plouf Always Appropriate to Bring a Gift to a Party As you know, Jabie and I are going to LA for a series of charity events involving Days of our Lives Actors. We will be attending 2 parties, a breakfast, autograph session and brunch.  I want to bring a respectable donation to the [...]

by Jodi McLean As promised, I finally visited the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary today, and it was a really enjoyable afternoon!  I can’t wait to go back with Amy and her kids.  I think they will love it.  (Once you get used to the non-captive birds who do fly-bys that are a little too close for [...]

by Jodi McLean I heard this song while driving today, and thought “what a great theme song!”  I was checking things off my to-do list…things I had been putting off, or dreading, or maybe the place I wanted to go was just too far away to justify going right now. So, I went to the [...]

by Amy Plouf My hairstylist is a gifted woman. I have gone to her on and off since 1998. The off being when she worked in a really fancy salon. I get a little uncomfortable at those places that offer you wine and you have no idea who to tip. Anyhow, I always leave there [...]
