Diamonds, rubies, pearls, and….chocolate? Part 2.

The air date is upon us!!! Tune into The Food Network on Tuesday, November 16, 2010….that is NEXT TUESDAY….to see the episode of “Private Chefs of Beverly Hills” I happened to have the pleasure of being a guest on 🙂 Click here for the episode info. See, I told you I would keep you posted. Now you can consider yourself  ”in the know”! 

Diamonds, rubies, pearls, and….chocolate?

As I mentioned before, The Man gets us invited to uber-cool stuff as the result of his charm, dashing good looks, and….occupation (can you tell that I adore this man?) Two days ago, I found myself dashing madly around the city (with 3 giggly little girls in tow) getting coifed, manicured and tanned, in preparation for an event like no other. We had the unique pleasure of attending a dinner party that was filmed for a reality show on a well-known network. OH WHAT A NIGHT!! Didn’t read the release, so I’m not exactly sure I can disclose details, so I won’t. Certainly don’t need to be sued for a gazillion dollars by a large conglomerate for giving out top secret info!! However, I CAN give a great big shout out to Ann Mangini, co-owner of Rafinity Jewelry in Santa Monica, California. She was the FABULOUS hostess for the evening, and let me tell you……that ROCKSTAR of a lady knows how to make a girl feel like a princess……the pearls I am wearing in the photo of The Man and me were my party favor :-))))) Check them out on Facebook, here, go visit them in person at 1408A Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California 90401, AND GET YOURSELF SOME BLING!!!!!

Welcome to the “genius bar”

Not one to beat around the bush. Let’s just dive right in and pick up where you’ve never been. Shall we?

Being the devout Mac worshipper I am, I trekked over to my local Apple store today….alone…with 3 small children…My Beans… in tow. The Man’s laptop has become possessed, so it needed the attention of some Geniuses. Of course, I envisioned all sorts of ‘bull in a china shop’ scenarios. Who wouldn’t. Right? Much to my surprise, that place was better than a freakin’ day care run by Mary Poppins. Sugar Bean settled on playing with an iPad, while Butter Bean and Sweet Pea plopped down on the ultra-modern, ergo-balls and played games on the dedicated “kid friendly” iMacs. Genius, I say.

The Man’s piece had to be sent away for a few days. Oh yeah, it’s under warranty, thanks to AppleCare, but I await the phone call saying “We’re sorry. Your Mac has been exposed to liquid, and therefore, Apple can’t “care” anymore. It’s going to cost so much to fix it, you might as well go back and buy a shiny new one. On the upside, while you are shelling out megabucks, your kids will be having a blast…..free of charge.”

Thanks, Geniuses.
