I don't watch Mad Men...
…but Jon Hamm was sitting across from us at dinner last night.
The Scene: Craft (Los Angeles)
The Suspects: Jon Hamm and another dude (agent? manager? friend?) sitting in a booth. Platonic, don’t go there. We were right next to ICM (his representation), so it makes sense.
The Crime: Looking pretty damn good despite needing a shave 3 days ago.

Seattle Stories: "Dinner Tonight"
And just like that, it was time to go home. We spent our last morning walking around Pike Place, taking some more obligatory tourist pictures, and purchasing fresh crab and clams to cook for dinner that night, at home in LA. Oh the power of a cold pack.
And back to LA…
Quite a tasty meal if I do say so myself!

This is something that goes on in my head daily.
Except replace it with Cannon and Nikon. Cannon and Nikon. Cannon and Nikon.
I go back and forth and back and forth. And just when someone sways me in one direction, a little camera devil on my other shoulder whispers, pick ME.

Seattle Stories. "The Gamble."
After braving Snowpocolypse, we were pretty wiped out. But it was our last night in the city, and we didn’t want it to go to waste. A few people had recommended The Walrus and The Carpenter, but we just weren’t sure. The menu looked different. It was far away from our hotel, and cabs weren’t really running. And after our disappointing night at Shiro’s, we thought about...
And there it is!
Prior to posting the Jet Blue story, I thought to myself, Alena and Allison will surely appreciate (and be horrified) by this! And then…
I rest my case.

Deep Thoughts While Facebook Stalking.
Why are friends and family of the bride required to sit on her side, and vice versa for the groom?
I’m trying to analyze just how fugly this wedding was, and all I’m looking at are pictures of the bride’s back. I can’t even see one bridesmaid.
As a guest, if you’re sitting on her “side,” then she has her back to you the entire time. That’s some...

Seattle Stories: "White-out"
On Sunday we woke up to a complete blizzard. Everyone kept apologizing to us.
So sorry about the weather! What a bummer! This never happens!
But no one seemed to understand, snow is our jam! We weren’t going to let a little snow slow us down. We even decided to take a boat tour. In a white out. Which started off like maybe this was a bad idea and turned into this is unreal and so...

I missed a step...
My sister called me this morning.
While her three kids are at school, she’s going with her friends to see The Hunger Games.
In a private rented-out movie theater. With a chef making them breakfast. And a bar. (A BAR!)
Not sure when my sister became a Real Housewife of Orange County, but I’m only mildly opposed so long as I get to reap the benefits.

Seattle Stories. "He has his own boats!"
By the time dinner rolled around, we were feeling much better.
Something you should know about J and me. We are serious about food. Eight years together, and we’re becoming a foodie couple. And we love, love, love sushi. Seriously, if you ever need a sushi recommendation in LA, ask us! We are very serious about sushi. Sushi snobs, if you will. And proud of it.
Of all the meals we were...

Seattle Stories. "This is Serious."
After we cleared the pipes, if you will, we finally were able to stomach food. Adam, the waiter at Matt’s, recommended we check out Serious Pie. Neither of us anticipated eating pizza in Washington, but Adam must have been psychic because after the day—and night—and day we had, pizza seemed perfect.
At the time, all we could remember was that it was a Tom Douglas restaurant,...

Questions and Answers: Make-up
The question was asked about this photo:
And I am happy to share! For me, make-up must fulfill two basic requirements. I like it to be inexpensive, and the brand can NOT test on animals. It’s not too often these two go together. So I bend on the cheap and go with cheap-ish. I also justify it if I can buy it at Target because well, it’s Target. My blush is a combo of:

Seattle Stories. "Can I puke off this thing?"
The next day we woke up, looked at each other, and mumbled something to the effect of, “Oh fuck. Shit. Balls. My head! I think I might puke. Too much wine. Too many shots. No, don’t say ‘shots’ ever again. I hate Zig Zag. Eric the bartender is the devil. This is it. This is really death. I’m dying. No, no, I died.”
But we knew it was a short trip, so we...

Seattle Stories. "The (All) Night Cap."
After dinner, the boy and I were really, really tired. Slightly drunk, slightly hungover, slightly worn out from our transatlantic 2 hour flight, we almost went straight back to the Inn. But Adam recommended we check out this place called Zig Zag for a quick drink. It was a good call.
We were immediately ushered to two seats at the bar, which had a total speak-easy feel to it. Score. I was...

Seattle Stories. "Anatomy Lessons"
After we sobered woke up, we headed over to Matt’s in the Market for the start of an eventful night. We had the most perfect view and the most perfect waiter, Adam. He was so knowledgeable about Seattle and food and life. Seriously, if you ever find yourself in Seattle, go to Matt’s and ask for Adam. Just shoot the shit with him.

Seattle Stories. "And we're off!"
Seattle, we loved you. To recap, the boy and I had Delta money to burn. We chose Seattle. I asked, you guys answered. I debated, you gave advice. I stressed, you helped.
It was amazing. We fell in love with Seattle. The people! The architecture! The food! Seattle, has got it going on. If I didn’t work in TV, I’d be plotting my move A-Sap. Yes, it was cold as shit & it snowed...

Congratulations Rick. You just punished 130,000 low-income women. And all the doctors and nurses in your ERs who will have to treat these women when they are in desperate need of medical attention. And your taxpayers who will have to pay for those ER visits. And for the women who choose to use their limited funds on medical care? Pretty sure you’re going to see a rising number of families...
