Does anyone know how to get into an old blog?

If you do, leave a comment on one of my articles at boomerinas.com.

Where did jetgypsy go?

I am having a hard time signing into jetgypsy.blogger.com. If you like that blog, you'll love my new site:

How can a blog just disappear?

Second Wedding Articles at Boomerinas.com

Simply Be Wedding Dress prshots.com
I love to write about wedding stuff, especially when the subject has to do with second or fifth weddings.  Hey, I'm an eternal optimist... I'm on my third marriage. 

Some people can be prudish about remarriage but I think it shows a sort of resillience... and people DO remarry.  I'm not really sure why we do, but it happens.  So, there's no point in hiding your head in the sand.

Well, with my background in etiquette - learned by doing everything wrong and being taught how to handle various situations by my first husband - I said to myself, "Who knows more about wedding etiquette than someone who has been through several weddings?"  Well, with that knowledge, a few books, some internet research, plus a couple of episodes of Absolutely Fabulous (the original)... and I'm off.

Trust me.  I will tell you about real life etiquette. 

Well, things may be different on the East Coast.  But, I know what fashionable Baby Boomers do on the West Coast and that's all we really care about... right?  So, here are the links to my Baby Boomer wedding articles.

My Nom de Plume - Tina Boomerina



Yes, in everyday life, I am still Christina Gregoire, but my name is so similar to the governor's name (and yes... we are somehow related but we are not sisters) that I thought it would be fun to start using a pen name. It is Tina Boomerina, which conveniently goes with my website: Boomerinas.com.

So, I am me as I am she... as you are me and we are all together.  Koo koo ka choo.
