Shop till you Drop!
Needless to say, this was my kind of weekly activity. Lisa and I got up early and headed to downtown LA to the fashion district to attend the monthly sample sales. This was SOOOO up my alley. Discreetly pushing other women out of the way so I could get a deal? Hell yes! It was as … Continue reading
Shopping in Your Skivvies
Yes, that’s what you can do in downtown LA if you attend a monthly clothing sample sale in the fashion district. If you keep all your clothes on all the time, you may miss out on that $20 designer skirt that hordes of other women want. For obvious reasons, we couldn’t snap any photos of … Continue reading
One for your journals: I hiked.
For those of you who know me, this is a biggie. That is because there are two things I really don’t enjoy: 1. exercising / exerting myself 2. walking/hiking/running with no destination – just going in a loop or worse, going back that way you came – I just don’t get it.

This has been true whether the activity works out as hoped or completely bombs. In fact, I think that … Continue reading
Third time’s a charm!
So what do you do when you schedule something really cool for We Never (think Jet Packs but cooler) but the equipment fails so we can’t go – so then you schedule something the next day (the last day of the week which is also your birthday – think “spa”) but you show up 5 … Continue reading
One Jeff (Geoff) Is As Good As Another
What we feared would happen one day finally did. All plans fell through and we were at the end of the week with nothing for our We Never. Well, we’re 26 weeks strong so we can’t screw up now. If you’ve read Erin’s post you know by now that her suggestion was we kiss each … Continue reading
