June 2009

This week both of my babies are IN COLLEGE. Jack is attending an insanely high priced computer programming camp at University of Irvine and Tucker is going to the “Titan Elite” baseball camp at Cal State Fullerton. Which means a heck of a lot of driving for me, but in true Massura fashion we are always the first to arrive each morning. And although I tried to get a photo of Jack going into camp today, I thought better of it since he was shooting me the look of “oh-my-god-mom-you-are-scarring-me-for-life-with-that-damn-camera-and-I-am-totally-gonna-need-therapy-if-you-take-a-photo-of-me-with-all-these-way-older-guys-at-this-camp”…so I didn’t get his photo. But I got a few of Tucker….I am pretty sure he is dreaming of playing in the major leagues in everyone of these shots. And that is okay by me. Of course he can play in the majors AFTER he gets a college degree. Stanford or Harvard would be acceptable. Ahem,

And recently he returned with a box of these…   What the heck is it? Well according to the beautiful packaging it was a ‘blooming tea’. Although after looking at this photo a [...]

  So while Dave Brubecks was busy having his Kenmore installed into his fancy laundry room…..you know the laundry room with a fireplace, dining table (cuz who doesn’t love to sit and have a meal to the hum of the rinse cycle) and that swanky horse rug, his children stood outside during a winter blizzard [...]

OC Review: Monsters & Music & me…

I love it when I am asked to review an OC event that turns out to be worthy of glowing commentary- and the monster exhibit at The Muzeo is a perfect example. Located in a newly renovated part of Anaheim, I entered being pulled by Jack who was excited to see what it was all [...]

Today I had the honor of giving a ‘workshop’ or talk on interview skills at the National Future Business Leaders of America conference. I was a little stunned at the size of the conference, which I was [...]

I can’t believe it has been a year since I wrote this post about my boys first time at Surf Camp. It was an emotional experience for all of us. This year was much different; less drama and less defeat. But this year I am still stunned at my boys perseverance. Surfing is not for [...]

Guess what I tried? A brand new Spicy Chicken Sandwich at Chick-fil-A and I gotta tell you it was delicious. I wasn’t too worried about the ‘spicy’ part since I cant get enough of hot and spicy food, but this was actually more favorable and only slightly spicy. It was just plain good and tasty. [...]
