As of today, ONE week to go. Is it too late to change my mind? Yes, I’m smiling in my photo below, but if you really look into my eyes you will see FEAR. (Go ahead, look! I told you.) I know that it’s not appropriate to say this out-loud, but the idea of having…

Operation Smile… I dare ya.
Did you know, the difference between this: and this: is about 1 hour and $240? Or, if you break it down, $20/month for 1 year. It’s true…. that’s IT. I realize that my hormones make me extra-emotional these days, but this subject matter broke my heart before the whole pregnant thing happened. More than 200,000…
Byebye belly: Things I will (surprisingly) miss.
May lightening strike me RIGHT NOW as I write this. After being mildly annoyed with my growing belly for the entire duration of 2010, I’m just now getting used to my “pregnant body” and am begrudgingly owning up to the fact that I will miss certain things once this 9-month watermelon makes its way out:…

2-Week Countdown: My LAST party?
Never in my life did I think that I’d write the words “I think I just went to my last party last night.” But, I just did. Damn. Last night, I went to a fabulous Labor Day Weekend Party with my hubby at an amazing Hollywood Hills mansion overlooking the most spectacular view of LA….
Michael Jackson’s bro to the rescue.
Randy Jackson (brother of the late Michael) did some good this week, with the help of my very own husband (Dr. Andre Panossian, below) at Children’s Hospital LA.
