In LA LA Land

Sorry for the delayed post: I was on a flight from Chicago to LA that took just a wee bit too long due to mechanical issues and then had to hustle it to a speaking engagement. The crowd, though small, spanned three generations and was wonderfully intimate, allowing everyone to express their feelings. Mothers voiced their concerns over saying the "right" things in front of their daughters and sons; new mothers spoke of relishing their incredible capacity to feed their babies; a model who had struggled in the past with body image was inspiring in her words as she spoke of being careful to keep that world separate from her daughter in one sense (ie having to look a certain way) but is so glad her child has the unique opportunity to view airbrushing up close and personal, so perhaps she won't get sucked in to the media's illusion machine so easily.

I'll be here throughout the weekend and am excited to shop, try my first In n' Out Burger, and spend time with my brother and sister-in-law. Expect more from the West Coast...and until then, sweet dreams!

Hooray for In 'N' Out! The fries are the best hot and you must try the milkshakes. They are heaven.

I am drooling thinking about an In 'n' out burger with grilled onions and a ton of fries!!! We just moved from Socal to Pa last August and I sooo miss the food!Enjoy

I'm wondering what you thought about that In N Out Burger!

I had a double-double and it was a really great treat! I think I over-slated my fried, tho, because I've been left in a perpetual state of thirst for the past 24 hours! Definitely not a once-a-week thing, but could become an LA-treat to look forward to!

yeah looks good to me ;D
