Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

I have yet to bear children so I am not sure what its like to be proud of your kids but I do have this "kid" at work that I am extremely proud of this week. Three years ago, when I first transferred to my current studio due to "the merge" I was one of two people who made up the international marketing team. I am sure many of you remember me complaining how crazy I was. Anyhoo, during that time when we were setting up our team, this young girl walked into my office to interview for the internship position I was hiring for. I have been working with interns for as long as I can remember and before that, I worked with young kids at movie theatres. In all my years and in all those kids I had never met a person like the girl who walked into my office that day. It took all of two seconds for me to know she was talented and she was a star. After meeting with her I called off all the other interviews and told HR to hire her. She was a rock star intern! Later when w

So today marked the first day of the Reasler's free month of Netflix. This was courtesy of some class action suit that the hub was part of. I have never had Netflix but I like the idea. We got 3 movies in the mail today and have already dropped one back in the mail for another. We watched Bolt tonight and it has made me want a white dog even more. Additionally it has made me want a cat called Mittens. I am not really sure what I am going to do with this information but I thought I d share my latest wants with you. Also, I am going to Paris, yes that city in France, this Sunday or rather, I have a ticket to Paris and we will see how this week goes and if I actually get on the plane that goes to Paris. Work has some "sensitive" trailer negatives they want me to hand carry to the Paris Office. I am especially excited as I love Paris and the cityscape is still fresh in my mind from our trip back in November. But... in the back of my head I am trying not to get to

So for the past few weeks the hub and I have been doing some landscaping projects. This past weekend my husband's mission, should he choose to accept it, was to build a veggie/herb garden for me. Luckily for me he choose to accept the mission and unluckily for him a heat wave decided to set in upon Los Angeles. Despite the heat wave we went to Home Depo bought some plants for the flower bed we built last week and also some wood. We got home ripped out the roses and various weird plants growing on the side of the house. We replanted the roses elsewhere and got rid of the weird plants. We sprayed the newly plant free side of the house with poison so no weeds or grass or bushes would grow and the hub began his mission to build me a raised 8 foot box. the purpose of this box is to plant some herbs and veggies. I am sooo turning into my grandmother, an avid gardener...although, I haven't her knack of keeping things alive as well as she does. I am getting better thoug

Dude, nothing bites worse then having tickets to a sporting event and then showing up at Dodger Stadium and finding out the stadium is closed. Not only that, that the game you were supposed to watch was on earlier in the day. Tickets with the wrong printed game time, suck! Even worse, Dodger's Customer Service who refused to do anything because they said they advertised the game was switched due to major league baseball television. Okay, so I guess all of us dummies are supposed to suck up the monatary loss because they advertised??? Lesson learned...Dodger's Customer Service sucks ass and apparently, I must check game times before going to a game because you can't trust the game time on the ticket. Oh yeah, I still want my Dodger dog!! Buttheads.

When I was 12, I lived in Lansing, Michigan, in one of four two-story duplexes that were next to a fire station. Besides bugging the firemen to slide down their pole everyday, I generally had a good time playing with the kids who lived in the Hopkin's neighborhood. It was perhaps, the fun-ist street I ever lived on as a kid. I was the leader of the Hopkins' gang. Meaning I was the oldest of about 10 kids who, my brother and I would play with, get in trouble with and fight with. One of our "genius" ideas as a group was to start a rock band. It was crazy how much time we spent figuring out what we were going to play, the concerts we were going to give and how we were going to make our millions. Now a days, you have the video game called "Rock Band." No need to day dream anymore. Just invite your friends over and all the sudden you are Duran Duran. The game comes with a microphone, a set of drums, a guitar and base. There are a variety of songs that pr

Have you ever thought about winning the lottery or coming up with an idea that will make you millions? Well, my idea has finally come in! I can already see my house in Hawaii on the ocean. About three months ago, the hub and I threw an After Christmas Party for our friends and he of course did his thing and made the food. Well, one of his treats was amazing! He totally made it up himself. Everyone really liked what he made. I had left overs and took them to work and people raved about them. One gal took them to the mountain and had her friends try them and everyone agreed we should sell them. This past week I had a dinner party to go to after work with some lady friends and I asked the hub to make his treat for me. So he did and all 6 women raved over them. We are all in Entertainment and they basically came up with an entire marketing plan for us to sell them. We even have a business name and website all picked out! It was very exciting to sit and talk about the hub a

So Sunday night the hub and I were coming home from our acupuncture appointment when we saw a yellow cat sitting along the side of the road. The cat was in front of an empty lot. From where we were in our car it looked like this cat was a little kitten. Seeing as we have been all into animals lately this caused concern for my hubby who stopped the car. He got out of the car and approached the cat. From the car, I see him pick it up and stroak his head and back. He brings the cat to the car where I clearly see that this is not a kitten but a grown cat. The hub says we should take it home. So we look at the collar and it says the cat's name is "Chester" and that he belongs on a nearby street. So the hub brings the cat in the car. Immediately, the cat starts to fight the hubby and his claws come out. The hub tries to pet the cat more insisting to the cat that we were only taking him home. So we start the car and turn around toward the street where the cat be

Caution this blog is personal in nature so don't read if you don't like personal. So for years, about as many years as I have lived in California, my stomach has hurt me in one way or another. I am thinking perhaps Los Angeles water is poison because I never had this problem in Haslett. Hum? Anyhoo, about 10-11 years ago I had emergency surgery for endometriosis and the over the years I have found out that I am possibly lactose intolerant and probably have IBS aka irritable bowl syndrome. I say possibly because no one has ever given me a straight answer. Pretty much everyday of my life I feel bloated, burpy, gassy and have varying degrees abdomen pain. Sometimes when I have to have a period, no amount of vicodin really helps. I call my problems the "Trifecta of Stomach Anguish." Now you are probably saying "Why don't you go to the doctor?" Well, I have been several times and to several doctors. And they either don't listen to me or don'

1. Go Michigan State! Beat U-Con and make it to the finals. 2. The organization of the garage has begun! The hub and I went to Ikea and bought a bunch of shelving. His tools are never gonna look better. 3. Bought a cute little table and two chairs for under my lemon tree. Bought peppermint tea to drink while sitting on my cute chairs under the lemon tree. Life is nicer under the lemon tree. 4. Solar Chinese Lanterns from Ikea rock! I went today to buy more but they were out. That did not rock. 5. I didn't get to go to ShoWest again! Bummer. 17 years in a row (both at AMC and the studio and I have never gotten the opportunity to go. Oh well, it was slow at work this week since no one around. 6. I hope acupuncture doesn't hurt cuz, I am getting it done tomorrow. 7. Dr. Pepper from Dublin is the best soda in the world. Close behind, Doctor Brown's Ginger Ale. 8. I now have plenty of guest passes to the magic castle. 9. We're trying to come up with a unique

Today is April 1st. Meaning it's officially spring time in my book. In the spring one cleans and so the hub and I spent a few hours going through our closets. The big spring purge hit the reasler household. If we hadn't worn, touched it or seen it in over a year it was outta here. I can happily say that 10 bags of unused items are now going to be on display at the Glendale Goodwill taking on life as second hand goods. Good bye things, go and help someone new. Now I am ready for spring.
