poka bean: the buffer
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2006/10/buffer.html
Sunday, October 08, 2006. My dad called me up last week and asked if he could take me to lunch on Friday. How lovely! Little did I know it was all a big scheme. He was meeting his sort-of estranged step-sister for lunch and he invited me along to be the buffer. I'm such a sucker. Was, "Uh, hmmm. Maybe 1969? Known the world over for their smash single "Heaven's Just A Sin Away." Wow. Intense! Take a look at their pictures and I'm just SURE you'll be able to see the family resemblance. If I've got the ...

poka bean: March 2005
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2005. Word to my lauras. I have become addicted to talk radio. Conservative talk radio, specifically.much to my father and fiance’s delight. I covet my morning and evening commute time as a chance to hang out with my Lauras. And no, you talk radio amateurs, I don’t mean Dr. Laura. Get with the times. I’m talking about Laura Ingle on KFI. Courtroom drama reporter extraordinaire, and Laura Ingraham on KRLA. And Laura Ingraham. What more can I say than almighty heavens, glory be! I desp...

poka bean: i kind of want to call this one "spores = whores"
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-kind-of-want-to-call-this-one-spores.html
Tuesday, November 28, 2006. I kind of want to call this one "spores = whores". Wet carpet = lame. Finding out you have a leak in your wall and that your home is a thriving and productive mold factory = even lamer. Discovering that your mold problem has ruined part of the only material posession you truly treasure = the MOST LAMEST EST of ALL. So in case you haven't picked up on this already, POKA BEAN = NOT HAPPY. Posted by Poka Bean at 6:57 PM. Posted at 6:29 AM. And sodapop as a middle name? The foxtai...

poka bean: photos. because i'm out of words and they're worth 1,000 a piece.
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2007/01/photos-because-im-out-of-words-and.html
Thursday, January 25, 2007. Photos. because i'm out of words and they're worth 1,000 a piece. I've been really uninspired about blogging recently but I've decided to take matters into my own hands and spice things up with a few photos from the holidays. This is my nephew in the bathtub on Christmas Eve. Oh, how I love this boy. This is view of the sunrise over Dana Point Harbor as seen from the patio of the little inn Jon and I stayed at after Christmas. It was as amazing as it looks. Posted at 6:47 AM.

poka bean: February 2005
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2005. Observations at target on my lunch break. Two young girls, probably 9 or 10 years old, were standing on the greeting card aisle oohing and ahing over the prettiest designs on the shelf. In desperation, one of them exclaimed, "Why do. Get all the pretty ones? Ah, the ignorance of youth! I wonder: At what age do you finally begin to understand that the pastel flowery cards with cheesy rhyming poetry in scripty fonts are, in fact, the worst picks on the rack? Why is it a fish?

poka bean: you people suck
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2006/12/you-people-suck.html
Thursday, December 14, 2006. Harsh words, I know. But in my time of need you have NOT come through with even a SINGLE book recommendation even though I asked really nicely for your input. So now I'm not asking so nicely anymore. I'm demanding.LEAVE ME SUGGESTIONS FOR A BOOK TO PICK FOR MY BOOK CLUB. IMMEDIATELY. Time's a wastin'. Posted by Poka Bean at 7:06 PM. Posted at 6:39 AM. I don't know what you've already read in your book club nor what sort of book you're looking for. Um, Time Traveler's Wife?

poka bean: October 2004
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 07, 2004. Next speaker, please. It's Day 1 of spring break my senior year of high school and I'm on drop-mom-off-at-work duty so I can use her car all day. What better way to ease the pain and inconvenience of having to get up so early on my vacation than to stop at McDonald's and treat myself to breakfast? As this thought occurs to me, I begin mentally patting myself on the back for being such a genius. Ah, hindsight. Me: "Hi. I'd like hashbrowns and a small orange juice.". I pull out ...

poka bean: the love of an italian mother
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2007/06/love-of-italian-mother.html
Friday, June 15, 2007. The love of an italian mother. Why is there a rifle outside my laundry room door? I am not kidding. That is an EXACT quote. And I know that because I pocketed that note off the table the minute nobody was looking and it is now hanging on our refrigerator. I love the Italians. Posted by Poka Bean at 7:33 AM. Posted at 12:03 PM. How much do I love that you stole the note. You are awesome! Posted at 10:00 AM. Ok, am I on glue? Where is there an Italian Villa in San Diego?

poka bean: training for the big day
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2006/11/training-for-big-day.html
Monday, November 06, 2006. Training for the big day. Every time I go to yoga, I fear THIS will be the time I get kicked out of class. It is humanly impossible for me to control my giggling at the mention of the words "yoga practice." As in, "Take a deep breath and focus in on today's yoga practice." What exactly are we practicing for.the big game? It strikes me as funny everytime. It ruins my concentration and prevents me from being able to. Clear my mind of all thoughts.

poka bean: proof that men are from mars
http://littlepokabean.blogspot.com/2006/10/proof-that-men-are-from-mars.html
Friday, October 20, 2006. Proof that men are from mars. Over a quiet and romantic candlelit dinner the other night, Jon looked at me with stars in his eyes and said, "You know what I haven't seen in awhile? A movie set in space.". Ah, yes. Exactly what I was thinking. He must be missing home. Posted by Poka Bean at 4:20 PM. Posted at 7:05 AM. Oooh to be a man. That's too funny! Maybe they are showing space movies in the dog house this week? Sunny So. Cal, USA. View my complete profile. I beg of you.
