When I was little, Easter was my favorite holiday/day. Today, we'd decorate eggs and get our easter baskets filled with grass. Tomorrow, we hunt.

"Be vewy, vewy quiet...we're hunting for a wabbit."

I loved when my parents, I mean the Easter Bunny, would hide them in unusual places in the yard.

Is it raining where you live? I started this blog with the theory that it always seems to rain on Good Friday, and it always seems to be sunny on Easter. Today, it's 63 and sprinkling in downtown L.A. Hopefully, it's sunny on Sunday. I'm excited about going to church. I am about to join a new church in Pasadena called All Saints. It's really nice there. Lots of great ideas. The rector, Ed Bacon, has been on Oprah. But that wasn't the reason we joined this church. Ant and I have been "window shopping" for a church for awhile. We wanted some place that felt like home to us.

We both grew up, believing in the same thing...higher power and all that...but with very different organized religions. I stopped believing in organized religion around the time I was 16. My grandfather had passed away, and even though the church preacher mentioned it in the sermon that day...no one said anything to me afterwards! I felt like everyone went to church to parade their outfits and their children's accomplishments and not to listen to the message from God.

Recently, two of my best friends in L.A. were talking about just wanting to feel more spiritual, and I completely got it. We all have a mind. We all have a body. We also all have a spirit, and just like we take care of our mind (reading, doing crossword puzzles, stress relief) and our body (eating well, exercising, relieving stress as much as possible)...we seldom think about how to take care of our spirit. And I think we need that. Well, at least I do. Also...someday in the future...far, far away (in my mind)...we may want to have children. I'd like them to have a moral foundation. Of course, I think it's my responsibility, as a parent, to teach and give them that moral foundation. But we live in a very secular world that doesn't teach about the spirit. And so for one day out of the week...it would be nice for them to hear something that feeds that spirit. It truly does take a village, after all, to rear a child.

25 Random Facts on Facebook

Everyone I know is writing random facts about themselves on Facebook. I'm getting tagged by some and not allowed to see some others. Not that I mind. I'm not sure I really want to know all of these random facts about my friends and not-so-close acquaintances. I definitely don't want to know how someone lost her virginity, especially since I barely even knew this girl in high school. But there are some people's random facts which are fun to read, especially when they are truly random facts. Like my friend, Karen. She wrote about how when she had a super long commute to work, she used to pass the time by nibbling crackers into the shape of states! Now that's random, bizarre and funny!

Recently, when I mention stuff that Anthony doesn't already know about me, he's been pointing out that I should write that in my 25 random facts about myself. Like the other day, I mentioned that I was in a band with my friends Jill and Heather. We called ourselves The Furies. And I was going to play keyboard. Jill was going to play guitar, and Heather was going to play the drums. But no one wanted to sing. So the band died there.

Piper is a Tiny Terror!

Piper is now about 2 months old, and she's quite the Tiny Terror, as Anthony likes to call her. She's scratching up my expensive leather H.D. Buttercup couch! And she bites us all of the time...sometimes affectionately, sometimes to get her way! We've tried practically everything! Spraying her with water, putting down aluminum foil, everything that other people's cats don't like, and everything that "Kittens for Dummies" told us about! Nothing is working, unfortunately. And some days, I am at my wits end. Of course, she's still very cute. But if you tell her "NO," that is exactly like giving her catnip and encouraging her to do something, over and over, again. Anyone have any solutions to the terrible 2-month old kittens??

I LOVE the Miss Dior Cherie commercial!

Here's apparently the director cut of the new commercial for Christian Dior's Miss Dior Chérie fragrance. Directed by Sofia Coppola with model Maryna Linchuk and song "Moi Je Joue" by Brigitte Bardot.

It smells like a smokehouse BBQ...

My friend Carla, who lives in Texas, always calls when we have a fire, earthquake, or any other newsworthy event in Los Angeles. And most of the time, I tell her that it's far away, didn't really cause that much damage, or how I'm just not affected that much. But since last week, the latest fire has spread across the southland and burned down a lot of people's homes. It's also caused damage to a lot of other homes and structures. And of course, tens of thousands of people have evacuated their homes. Anthony's sisters and family members who live in Chino Hills (one of the major fire areas), have left their home and is living with relatives in Fontana (far east). There are fires to the North of me (in the valley), South of me (Brea, Anaheim, Orange County), East (Chino Hills, Diamond Bar)...and the skies are a heavy, foggy gray. It's hard to breathe when you're outside!



(But it hasn't stopped us from going to a Kings game last night...Lynn had box seats and VIP parking! And today, we went to the grand opening of Urth Caffe's new downtown location and HQ! Will Ferrell was there too...sat right next to us...so of course, I've been saying I had breakfast with Will Ferrell!) Free food and drinks...I love it!
