Birthday girl.

Alexandra's birthday celebration commenced! We stopped for brunch at the wonderful Farm Shop [where I sampled the most spectacular chocolate chip cookie of my life], accidentally bought a book at next door, and continued on to Julia's workplace, the undeniably hip Smashbox Studios. Family portraits were taken, stories of the Kardashians were told, and I was informed that I looked like someone who should be performing at the Grand Ol' Opry. New life plan! We hit up Hollywood -- the Chinese Theater is the stuff of legend in my household, as it is where my parents saw Star Wars in 1977 -- and continued to the tar pits. Hold on to your hats, those will post tomorrow.
