I wanted to follow-up my San Francisco Home Tour post with a similar post on apartments. Buying a home in SF is unbelievably stressful. You should be cashing in those stock options. Your granny hopefully wrote you into her will. Money…
Money Monday: Cash Out Refinance
I’m having a major freak out because I’m in the early stages of getting my place ready to sell. The tenants have been given notice. I sold one of my beautiful velvet couches last weekend. Stagers and painters will be…
Blunder Woman!
Many moons ago, on the Burning Man playa, a friend of mine came into camp and gave me a Wonder Woman doll that he found laying in the dust. Whenever I look at the doll, I feel inspired. I think,…

Eating for 1, Dreaming of 2
I am that person who scoffs at lactose intolerance. They say Asians tend to be lactose-intolerant. I say the phobia is in your head. On the California ballet, I vigorously nixed Proposition 37’s Right to Know initiative which would have…
San Francisco Service Recommendations
Since I spent part of my holiday getting primped, I thought I’d do a post on all my favorite services. Hair I’ve been on the hunt for someone skilled in cutting Asian hair because mine’s so thin and limp….
