9:34 PM Two chickens are accounted for this Thanksgiving. The other is cross country saving the world; prosecuting one criminal at a time. She will be home for Christmas. She'd never miss our favorite holiday tradition. We get more pleasure from movies than just about anything else you do horizontally. The season gets a jump… Continue reading Horizontal Pleasures…

The Duke of Cars…
Introductions are in order. I tell my favorite car dealer that I want someone to advise us on car care, teach us about necessary and unnecessary maintenance and how to buy a car. My car guy is larger than life, sweet as pie and said yes on one condition. He agrees to school us if… Continue reading The Duke of Cars…
Turkey Day Comport…
The day before the great turkey feast and I am hearing left and right from former Cotillion girls and friends of chickens far and wide concerning holiday behavior. Questions range from shrimp forks to boyfriends home for the holidays for the first time. What's a girl to do? Easy peasey, little ones. Here's some lessons.… Continue reading Turkey Day Comport…
The Thanksgiving Fete…
8:09 PM Thanksgiving can get lost amid Halloween boos and Christmas frenzy when it comes to festive tables, grand decor and sparkly touches. But why not, on the day we are most thankful, be grateful for all that is beautiful around us? Bring it in and set it on the table. One of our favorite… Continue reading The Thanksgiving Fete…
I Left My Heart in NOLA…
9:21 PM Baby Chicken turned twenty-one over the weekend. It remains a mystery how children become so old yet we remain so young and vibrant. Until we spend a weekend in New Orleans. And then we are reminded, in a Blanche DuBois sort of way, that we're a bit trampled, less skilled at all night… Continue reading I Left My Heart in NOLA…
More News of the Ridiculous…
New of the ridiculous is one of the only things that makes me feel, well, normal. The latest does not disappoint. This one strikes extra close to home. Seems a widow in Wales had some trouble canceling her dead husband's phone contract. When a spouse dies, those left behind have to prove it every which… Continue reading More News of the Ridiculous…
Day Made…
Day brighteners come in many shapes and sizes. Today they saunter up to sit on the porch of my mind in the form of Anna Wintour, Olivia Pope, panties and a quote. The divine Miss Anna, who we thought lost her marbles placing Kimye on the cover of Vogue, came to her senses Monday. No… Continue reading Day Made…
Excuses From the Poorly Dressed…
Every few months or so we are assaulted by the opinions of the poorly dressed. Clouded judgement can be found anywhere. Nowhere is it more misguided than men commenting on clothing. Boys, boys, boys. Unless you are reading this swathed in Armani, a power tie and a pair of wing tips, don't opine on tout… Continue reading Excuses From the Poorly Dressed…
Cinnamon Buns and Bra Straps…
7:32 PM Turns out, my dolls have lots to say, share and recommend. Today's finest comes from Our Favorite Redhead and our favorite neighborhood joint. It's a story of cinnamon buns and bra straps. Sounds like a day in the life, non? Our Favorite Redhead, a regular follower, first sends us a hint for pumpkin… Continue reading Cinnamon Buns and Bra Straps…
