Today Was A Good Day!

So each year the co-workers try and find new ways to celebrate people's birthdays. Lately, since everyone has come to realize there will be a party on their birthday, the crew has started doing these sneaky surprises that are a few days ahead of your birthday. You never know when you are going to get hit so it makes it hard to take a day off to avoid what is sure to be an embarrassing birthday party. This year I told the crew that I didn't want to have a big ole party and made them promise there would be no big party. Soooooo this morning I get to my office door and there is a hula girl on it. I open the door and to my surprise they had decorated my office like Hawaii. They even flew in two leis from Hawaii and had Hawaiian music playing. I was very touched by the gesture as I have been aching to go to Hawaii. Oddly enough the leis made me feel like I was in Hawaii and for the first time in a long time I was completely relaxed. I sure play Hawaiian music in my office more often! The crew said "see we didn't through you a birthday party." I guess the were right. Loved my office though.



At lunch I went to get my hair cut at the studio salon. I have been going for a while but I don't do it regularly cuz I am generally bad with girl maintenance and stuff. Anyhoo, today I was feeling kinda good and was ready for a change so I told her cut my hair anyway she wanted to. And she did. She took off about 4 inches of hair and I must say gave me a super cute cut. I am pretty sure there is no way I am ever going to be able to style it the way she did (isn't that always the case?) So not only did I have lei' but a new cut to go with them.

Then after the hair cut I had a movie screening to go. All I can say is that there is a really good George Clooney moving coming out. An afternoon of hubba, hubba George....I really do have a cool job! George Clooney seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with.

Got home and started baking some cakes for the margarita birthday party I am throwing myself and a bunch of other August Birthday Leo's I know tomorrow night at the house! the hub and I have been making stuff from those recipes you find in magazines and guess what??? We have been eating pretty good lately! This week alone he made an avocado dish and I made the two cakes. Thank you Sunset Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Coastal Living and Health magazines!!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

So Proud

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...
