Hi, Chaos Crew…Busy day here at the CCHQ. Recorded the show, secured the bartenders for the school fundraiser, and had a meeting with my big sister Liz about business while she was at a TV press junket, spotting Spielberg, Hanks, Sarandon, Pacino, Rosie and Brenda Vaccaro while we sat at our table outside the hotel [...]
Here it is, people. My first business meeting of 2010. It’s really more of a meet- and- greet, but when you’ve barely left the house for months, the prospect is nervous-making. Holing up in my home office writing for the last 6 months and recording a show in my closet has required little to no: [...]
For me, the New York Times Style section can be the height of comedy. Besides featuring fashion I’ll never wear and home design I could never afford, the editors at the New York Times like to identify trends that barely exist. Most of these trends feature hip, 20-somethings, preferably those who live in Brooklyn, engaging [...]
Welcome to 2010! Okay, not that much has changed Chaos-wise– same Lian, same issues– but it is a new year! Amen…On the show this week:The Chaos Chronicles: BCS madness.

That’s right, no school because it’s The Big Game in Pasadena: The BCS at the Rose Bowl.I was down in the Rose Bowl area this morning, buying tickets to the ESPN Tailgate Party featuring The Goo Goo Dolls and [...]
A new study out of Australia confirms what every woman reading this with a partner and child(ren) already knows : we gain more weight over the years than our single or childless female friends. I’m glad we now have the scientific research to back-up what any trip to mall can tell us. As a women [...]
You know I am a girl who loves a list, so this time of year is like, like Christmas for me. All the "Ten Best" this and "Top Ten" that, about everything from financial advice to beauty tips to movies! So many, many action items. I love it. And this year being 2010 has only [...]
Happy New Year all. I tried to get up off the couch several times yesterday to post these in a timely, Twitter-iffic moment. But I was wiped out after a full 24 hours of entertaining, schlepping, clapping and cheering and eating mac and cheese. Then, my husband and I watched The Rookie for the 16th [...]
Finally, finally– the Ice Cream Snowmen arrived in my inbox from makinglifebetter.com as part of the 31 Days of Confection Perfection! I saw this little guy when I got a sneak peak of the 31 days calendar way back in October. That, I thought, is right up my alley. It’s the only snowmen we’ll have [...]
