The day after

   I love the day after Labor Day- I still continue to wear white; I love being a rebel. All kids are back to school; even if there not your kids, it’s still great. Here in San Diego the tourists have gone home; this means I can now fit my towel spaciously on the beach. [...]

The 4th

It seems like the  4th of July snuck up on me. I think when you are unemployed all the days just kind of meld together. You’re not looking forward to that 3 day weekend because basically you have a 7 day weekend which stinks with a capital S. I don’t have that excitement of sitting [...]

They say it’s your Birthday

Its May 20th today…is there mail delivery, are they picking up my garbage, are the schools closed? Today is Cher’s birthday (is it not a national holiday yet)…Happy 63rd Birthday Cher! I first saw you in 1975 and last saw you just a couple of months ago…you still got it! Cher and I actually have [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

This Sunday is Mother’s day and since I am a Mom I guess that gives me the right to celebrate. I believe people have different ideas of what a Mom’s job is. I do know out of all my jobs it was the hardest but definitely the most rewarding. I believe the job of a [...]

Our May Flowers are here

May 1st, often called May Day, may have more holidays than any other day of the year. It’s a celebration of Spring. It’s a day of political protests. It’s a neopagan festival, a saint’s feast day, and a day for organized labor. In many countries, it is a national holiday. All I know is that [...]

The Hills are Alive

I did end up watching both The Sound of Music and The Ten Commandments this past Easter weekend (well, most of the movies…they are both so damn long). I had to laugh because I watched The Sound of Music with a 12 year old that has never seen it.  She kept stating how “predictable” it [...]

Your Perfect Easter

Wishing you your perfect Easter…from the Daily Dalia

Hippity Hoppity Easter’s on its way

Tomorrow is Good Friday, odd name for the day Christ died on the cross. They say “good” is an adjective applied to the day, is an Old English expression for “holy.” I went to Catholic school for 9 years and never knew that. I did know that I couldn’t eat meat that day or any [...]

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to

This Sunday, March 29th, is my birthday. No, it’s not my golden birthday. I would bet that there are very few men who know what a golden birthday is, well let me tell you. If it was my golden b’day I would be turning 29 on the 29th…get it. I think birthdays are more of [...]

I haven’t been canceled yet

  My, my how time does fly; it’s been a year for the Daily Dalia blog. Why have I not yet been offered a book deal or Lifetime movie?? I’m already thinking of who should play me…maybe Julia Roberts? I think it’s time for “the best of the DD…a year’s retrospective”.  (Honestly, it’s one of those [...]
