Do You Know How Many Pets Are Allowed Per Household?
Having a houseful of cats can earn you mean names — who are you calling crazy?! — but do you know how many animals you can legally own in your county? I checked out Cat Ladies at the SF Documentary Film Festival earlier this month and the producers were asked about law breaking for the movie.

What's Next For Abstinence-Only Sex-Ed Programs?
When Obama decided not to renew the Title V grant program that funds abstinence-only sex education programs in his 2010 budget, places like McLennan County in Texas found their coffers, already depleted when their $800,000 grant ran out in 2007, dwindle from $1 million to zero.
Since 1997, $1.9 billion in government funding ($1.5 billion of it federal money) has gone to abstinence-only education, turning it into an industry unto itself. Although the Senate Finance Committee voted to restore the funding 12-11 last month, the measure needs to pass the full Congress, which is unlikely.
O.C. Mom Needs to Grow the Eff Up
Tamra is the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Orange County and she's a real trip — to the tanning parlor and back. Although the woman is a mother of four, her biggest source of pride and joy in life is her self-assigned status as the "hottest housewife in Orange County." And Tamra's biggest goal?
This Just In: The Penns Write Off San Francisco
According to the Wall Street Journal, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have listed their home in Marin County, California, about 18 miles north of San Francisco, for $15 milion. The Penns purchased the property in 1996 for $2.1 million, and spent two years rebuilding the original 1933 Spanish-style house. The manse doesn't appear to be listed publicly, but the WSJ said:
The 10,000-square-foot house was designed with hand-hewn wood-beamed ceilings and floors, stone fireplaces and hand-painted tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen.
Can You Handle Any More Real Housewives?
If there's one thing I've learned from Bravo, it's that housewives can be really scary. Just when I thought women could not get any more immature than The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Really Scary Housewives of New York debuted bringing catty to a whole new level. And, now the network has hand picked another city to wreak havoc in — Atlanta.
Ga Ga or Gag: The Real Housewives of OC
Okay, so I admit it — Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County is mildly addicting. From Vicki's wild weekends in Lake Havasu to Tamra's dirty dancing, it's hard not to watch the motherly madness unfold. But is it because Jeana, Lauri, Tammy, Vicky and Tamra are good moms who want to have fun, or because they are glamorized momsters?
Last Day: Live Like THE REAL HOUSEWIVES Sweepstakes!
My girl BuzzSugar has teamed up with Bravo to sponsor one of the most fabulous sweepstakes I have come across in awhile. To celebrate the premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County last night, Bravo and BuzzSugar are giving away five especially Fabworthy prizes. I felt it was my duty to let you know about them!
Summer's Last Hurrah at the County Fair
As much as I hate to see Summer go, I don't mind bidding it adieu with one last hurrah at the local county fair. Tall enough to enjoy the rides on her own, my daughter grasped onto her tickets and ran for the shiny roller coasters pumping her arms up and down like she'd won the lotto. Thinking she needed easing, we put her on the most juvenile ladybug ride first, which turned out to be a bust as she yelled, "Stop!"
