Don’t mind me, just basking in the afterglow of yet another fantastic trip to So Cal over my 4th of July vacay. As I mentioned in my last blog “My quick diet before Hollywood…”, Jeff and I took a baby-free trip down to Hermosa Beach to visit our friends, basically trying to relive the good old pre-baby days of partying like it’s 1999 and coming home with a top 3 … [Read more...]
