hint: i do not consider the ladies the "trick" part of this equation.

this post goes out to my friends, family, and readers on the east coast who are hunkered down due to hurricane sandy. i want to send a little bit of sunshine and lots of love from california.

i've been reading twitter, tracking updates and viewing photos from the field. also, i've been tracking the twitter feed of newark's mayor cory booker, whose superhero, on-the-ground response to NJ citizens in need is courageous and the true definition of leadership. i recommend you follow him, too!

hold tight, east coast. we are all pulling for you! xo

kittens, i am one year older today!

please, pour yourself to a cocktail and mingle amongst the mushrooms and menfolk. party favors are on the ceiling -- do with them as you wish (and be creative!).

and most of all, THANK YOU for the best gift of all -- you! i've had the pleasure of making so many amazing friends through this little blog. it's enough to make this birthday scorpio swoon!

xoxo,
tula

darlings, i just spent 5-minutes flinging felines over at cat bounce. i highly recommend you do the same while listening to this song. i swear, the results are better than prozac.

the house at modern findings is a fabulous example of how to get groovy with your greenery. from the floor to the shelf, planting a little plant in your pad is not only easy on the eyes, but good for the air.

i have completed my jury duty, kittens! i am officially an upstanding citizen.

i would like to thank john waters' book "role models" for keeping me company in the juror pen and inspiring me to change my name to "princess summerfall winterspring." also, kudos to this crappy cup of coffee for supplying me with artificial energy and strength.

until next year (or my next arrest), see you later, L.A. courthouse!
