Coming soon: more details about the Laguna Beach get-together and the San Diego get-together and even the Orlando get-together. Just as soon as Bossy and John Cusack meet, marry, and honeymoon.

Lara says
April 9, 2008 at 4:06 pmOMG – what IS that beautiful avocado creation?
Caroline says
April 9, 2008 at 4:07 pmHoly shet. I live in Hawai`i and I am DROOLING OVER LAGUNA BEACH. Teh gorgeous!
Jen M says
April 9, 2008 at 4:09 pmIs that *wiping spittle away* guacamole??
Holy crap I’m moving. YUM. Those flowers are so beautiful they almost look edible, too.
Caroline says
April 9, 2008 at 4:10 pmP.S. Bossy, honey, were you aware that they CAUGHT that woman who’s been stalking YOUR HUSBAND JOHN [so to differentiate him between YOUR HUSBAND THE CUTIE BACK HOME and YOUR HUSBAND AT STARBUCKS] last week?
I figured you might have missed this important news, you being on your bloggy walkabout and all.
Grandma J says
April 9, 2008 at 4:12 pmBossy is making me very homesick. I miss it, and I can smell the flowers and the ocean. No worries about too much humidity or bugs.
Ok, so I don’t need Bossy to tell me it’s time for another trip back to my roots and OC grandkids.
Melizzard says
April 9, 2008 at 4:15 pmI think I’m packing up and moving there tomorrow. How beautiful and unlike any picture of California I’ve ever had in my head.
Patti says
April 9, 2008 at 4:16 pmI lived in Costa Mesa for many years. It’s just up the street, so to speak, to Laguna Beach, so these pictures make me a little homesick…
Avitable says
April 9, 2008 at 4:19 pmThat third photo was outstanding.
sonrie says
April 9, 2008 at 4:19 pmSo, this is the first thing I read AFTER trying to make guacamole for the first time…I should have just flown to California to order some.
JennC says
April 9, 2008 at 4:20 pmOh so jealous. I *heart* Orange County, republicans be damned. Looks like you are having a fantastic road trip, Bossy, but I do have one request: bring some of that sunshine back east, please!
Tootsie Farklepants says
April 9, 2008 at 4:23 pmYou were very thorough by adding a picture of guacamole! We put avocados in everything out here. Can’t wait to meet you tonight!
Biddy says
April 9, 2008 at 4:33 pmoh sweet jeebus! it’s GAW-JUS (say it out loud and you’ll sound just like me)
Nance says
April 9, 2008 at 4:34 pmThat isn’t a real place. That’s a theme park. Elves live there. Please come to a real city like Detroit, where we don’t dust avocado mush with fairy dust, or some shit.
Beth from The Funny Farm says
April 9, 2008 at 4:37 pmOkay.. now I am just a tiny bit jealous! That is a beautiful place!
I think you need to come experience some Pennsylvania MUD! 😀
Lacy says
April 9, 2008 at 4:40 pmSpringtime in Laguna – so beautiful. Photos are out of this world. How’s the food?
madge says
April 9, 2008 at 4:53 pmI’m sorry. John Cusack and i have been secretly married since 1989. Don’t tell my husband. oh, go ahead. he’d be OK with it, he’s a fan too.
What Happens Next says
April 9, 2008 at 4:55 pmThanks so much for posting these photos while I’m trying to be happy in Dallas. Sigh.
Must. Get. Home.
Have fun in LA!
stepher says
April 9, 2008 at 4:56 pmG O R G E O U S ! ! !
The beauty overwhelms… I want to be a Laguna Beach Desperate/Real Housewife…
Can’t wait to read the stories you have brewin’ =)
Stepher
blackbird says
April 9, 2008 at 4:59 pmAnd on day 15 Bossy sent bb a ticket and invited her to join her.
RuthWells says
April 9, 2008 at 5:12 pmBossy does nice work. Can she do my landscape design next?
MarathonMom says
April 9, 2008 at 5:13 pmWell that looks WELL worth the trip. Gorgeous! Can’t wait for the details.
madmom says
April 9, 2008 at 5:14 pmIf you are still in Laguna, go see the Witches House in the North end of town. It is a darling lopsided cottage – hope it didn’t fall down by now.
Christine says
April 9, 2008 at 5:21 pmI luuuuuuuuuuurve Laguna Beach. In my younger I-love-wearing-a-bikini-days, I spent many hours prancing around that boardwalk.
Assertagirl says
April 9, 2008 at 5:27 pmThere it is! The place where I was REALLY supposed to live.
Jami says
April 9, 2008 at 5:28 pmOh, that’s guacamole? For a minute there I thought Bossy had run over a frog. NOW it looks tasty!
Maria R says
April 9, 2008 at 5:42 pmBut Bossy, that would be bigamy. Which, I’ve heard out west, isn’t that big of a deal…
Here at Eclectically Yours, we aren’t sure we are going to ever read bossy’s blog again because we are INSANELY jealous of bossy. The Beauty, the flowers, the sheer sunshine is making us foam at the mouth in ravenous envy.
The Domestic Goddess says
April 9, 2008 at 5:44 pmHoly Cow, that’s gorgeous stuff! WOW!
And that Guacamole looks DIVINE!
heidi says
April 9, 2008 at 5:56 pmMUST move to Laguna beach. Pronto.
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
April 9, 2008 at 6:03 pmLaguna Beach does appear to be the Garden of Eden and Bossy’s photography skills are incredible.
But let’s get down to brass tacks. Here is the (Missing? Potentially Missing?) Man Count as of today:
1. Cowboy Josh – last seen strapped in the back seat of Bossy’s car in a “sleeping” bag. Likely tossed into the desert prior to Bossy’s switch to smaller, exceptionally stylish vehicle.
2. Starbucks Joe – Last seen typing e-mails to his friends and family about woman taking his photo from across the table.
3. John Cusack – Um, need I say more?
All Adither says
April 9, 2008 at 6:28 pmThat’s so pretty. But, really, you can do better than John C.
mia says
April 9, 2008 at 6:30 pmok, now I KNOW that I am stupid… I missed a LB meet-up? That’s like 5 minutes from my house! Instead I was going to try and make the LA meetup, which is 2.5 trafficky hours from my house. ARGH! 🙁
Damn. Damn. Damn.
Patty says
April 9, 2008 at 6:56 pmBeautiful pictures!
Kristin says
April 9, 2008 at 6:58 pmWell then. Our mountain of tater tots seems little, you know…DELCO compared to the avocado sculpture.
Mary says
April 9, 2008 at 7:02 pmI am very thankful to Bossy for creating Laguna Beach.
APeetsMom says
April 9, 2008 at 7:02 pmI do believe I’m heading to the store for some avocados now. Neeeeeeed some!
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
April 9, 2008 at 7:10 pmBossy and I may need to throw down re: John Cusack!
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
April 9, 2008 at 7:10 pmBossy and I may need to throw down re: John Cusack!
the new girl says
April 9, 2008 at 7:28 pmBossy.
Your pictures are…
DIFFERENT.
And [still] so BEAUTIFUL.
Meg says
April 9, 2008 at 7:28 pmThat must be where all the cool, guacamole-eatin’ kids are hanging out. I bet that alone was worth the drive!
Of course now, you gotta drive East…
Andi Sexton (rrlscrapgal) says
April 9, 2008 at 7:39 pmDang.. It’s 43 degrees here.. Snowed last night…
I so wish I was on Bossy’s excellent adventure..
Cheryl says
April 9, 2008 at 7:58 pmI’ve been living in the wrong state all my life. Gorgeous pics!
mrs. blogoway says
April 9, 2008 at 8:26 pmO.K., I officially hate you now. You just had to post pics of the overflowing bougainvillea and succulent avacado dishes to make me miss California. Why don’t you just rub it in already?
rsmdianne says
April 9, 2008 at 8:28 pmMust be Las Brisas guacamole. mmmmm I read but don’t comment, maybe I should do that sometime. I’m only 15 minutes from Laguna Beach, and felt, well, uh, stalkerish to try to meet up with you especially since I’m not much of a commenter. Oh well…
Ellen says
April 9, 2008 at 8:29 pmaka stilltruckin.blogspot.com
you let the secret that is California coastal living….
i can’t tell you how much i miss Carmel…WHY did i leave???????????????
please enjoy!!!! I think bossy’s son should transfer to Stanford so you can visit him ….. just sayin’
Miz Booshay says
April 9, 2008 at 8:30 pmHow beautiful. Do people actually live in such places???
What on earth am I doing in Wisconsin???
rsmdianne says
April 9, 2008 at 8:31 pmOh, duh…I couldn’t have been in Laguna Beach last night anyway. I was at the Honda Center in Anaheim dancing and singing the night away with Bruuuuuce and the E Street Band. Whew.
nutmeg says
April 9, 2008 at 8:53 pmDamn, that guacamoli looks beautiful.
EnnaVic says
April 9, 2008 at 9:14 pmOMG – If i had noticed you were going to Laguna Bch I would have asked you to go and take a drive-by photo of the place we lived when we were in the US (in Fen Way). Laguna Bch is a gorgeous place.
Cheri says
April 9, 2008 at 9:30 pmBossy is most certainly in California.
Andrea says
April 9, 2008 at 9:38 pmHeavenly.
Must Be Motherhood says
April 9, 2008 at 9:51 pmOh my god. Is that heaven? Are you sending photographs back from the pearly gates?
Thistles says
April 9, 2008 at 10:24 pmAre you sure you want to come here to Chicago? It’s still cold here and we certainly don’t have flowers like that.
CJ says
April 9, 2008 at 10:40 pmI want to move to Laguna Beach, right now! I want a house with beautiful gardens like those! Of course, said house must come complete with gardener. 🙂
Wonderful pictures, Bossy!
Laura says
April 9, 2008 at 11:01 pmThat’s exactly why I have always wanted to live in California! Gorgeous photos Bossy-I am jealous.
Mrs. G. says
April 9, 2008 at 11:24 pmIt looks gorgeous.
KellyS. says
April 9, 2008 at 11:48 pmGaw-geous. But, as a native of SoCal, I should point out: even the smallest of those cute little cottages in Laguna costs like, a gazillion dollars.
pogonip says
April 10, 2008 at 12:48 amLaguna was our fav when we lived in LaLa Land a couple decades ago. Love the gate in photo 3, sigh!
mr.lootiatto says
April 10, 2008 at 8:32 amOh, to live someplace with a soul….
what I wouldn’t give…I’d even give up my doggie Mr. Lootiatto….bossys mom
Liana says
April 10, 2008 at 9:01 amSuch colors! What gorgeousness. I want to there….
andrea says
April 10, 2008 at 9:01 amJust wow. The colors, the flowers, all so beautiful. I think I’m ready for a move!
Karen says
April 10, 2008 at 9:12 amI’m actually crying a little because I don’t think there is a shot in hell I will ever live some place so persistently summery.
Mrs says
April 10, 2008 at 9:47 amLaguna Beach and Leucadia, two of my most favorite beach towns EVER! Thank you for bringing ‘home’ to me!
Dara says
April 10, 2008 at 10:00 amWow…how pretty. Love that “cottage” garden!
You do know that avocado got it’s name because it looks like a testicle, right?
Emily R says
April 10, 2008 at 10:05 amWhat is that on the plate? Is everyone right? Is it guacamole? I doubt the cafeteria at work today will be carrying that. I’m about to cry. Let’s blame pregnancy hormones.
superblondgirl says
April 10, 2008 at 10:22 amWell, that little Hobbit door settled it. I am moving to Laguna Beach, stat.
Just as soon as I come into a whole shitload of money.
kim says
April 10, 2008 at 11:12 amI want to move there now!!!!! Your trip is awesome~
and to meet so many cool people!
Great pix, too~
sher says
April 10, 2008 at 12:04 pmhoney, just be careful that your man doesn’t put a restraining order on you. you know how crazy they get, those men.
David says
April 10, 2008 at 1:35 pmIn what garden was the guacamole growing? And what an interesting planter they had it in!
Denise Thomas says
April 10, 2008 at 3:17 pmTell me again why I live in New England???
meleah rebeccah says
April 10, 2008 at 4:08 pmMan I miss California.
Jill S. says
April 10, 2008 at 4:09 pmI’m sorry, but Cusak’s mine. Or at least in my dreams, he is.
Gorgeous pics.
Clare says
April 10, 2008 at 4:59 pmOMG–I want to move in to that little cottage ( yeah right, it’s probably a several million dollar home, right?) Anyway…I love the pictures. Now I haveto go and check out California.
Joanne H. says
April 10, 2008 at 5:14 pmBossy — You’re a great photographer. Laguna is one of my favorite places in the world, and now everyone knows why.
So great meeting you yesterday in L.A.!
Surcie says
April 10, 2008 at 6:35 pmIf you like milkshakes, you must go to the Shake Shack (on the PCH)! I haven’t been there since I was a kid in the mid 1970s–we always ordered the date shakes.
Foolery says
April 10, 2008 at 11:30 pmGotta plant me some bougainvillia this summer. Of course on a trillion dollar cottage it’s gorgeous and charming; on a hovel it’ll look like a weed.
Claire in CA, USA says
April 10, 2008 at 11:52 pmVery pretty. But, what Bossy isn’t showing is the bumper to bumper traffic along PCH, and just the general congestion that is So Cal. Sorry, I live the fantasy, and it’s not all bougainvillea and guac.
VDog says
April 11, 2008 at 12:58 amBOSSY finally made VDog miss SoCal.
Nice work, lady.
(And fabulous photos.)
Crystal D says
April 11, 2008 at 8:40 amSeriously Bossy, are you trying to make me lose my mind with all of these beautiful colors and that amazing looking avocado thing? Don’t you remember that most of us are still living in muddy, dead grass, no leaf places where it could possibly snow this weekend. At lease we get to live vicariously through you on this trip. And of course we haven’t lost any sunglasses on our vicarious trip.
Ali B. says
April 11, 2008 at 10:12 amNot real. Sorry. Just don’t believe it.
Because if I did, this grey, rainy, chilly Vermont day might kind of suck.
Jill says
April 11, 2008 at 1:20 pmAh! I didn’t know you were going to be in Laguna Beach! You were five minutes down Pacific Coast highway from me, here in Corona del Mar! So glad you got to experience the beauty of Laguna Beach! 🙂
davido says
April 11, 2008 at 2:26 pmMy allergies are acting up looking at all those flowers…
Loves me some guac!
Dharmamama says
April 12, 2008 at 6:48 amThe word I thought of when I saw these pictures was “lush”. Which, strangely enough, is the same word I thought of when I saw Bossy’s pictures of her bloggy friends. 😉
