August is almost over. Bummer. Seems like this summer has flown. Well the good thing is that I live in Southern California so I am sure we are in store for more nice weather but oddly enough it has been quite cool here. I am not complaining at all cuz I am lovin' it as the McD's people would say. Just not this weekend. I heard its going to poor rain. I am looking forward to doing pretty much nothing. I have a lunch date on Sunday with my girlfriend Kristen who is in town from Hawaii. I used to work with her. And then she decided to move home. Who wouldn't want to move home to Hawaii?? I am either supposed to make her lunch or take her to lunch and I am really hoping she likes sushi cuz I am not in the mood to cook. She must after all she is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. I got a gift certificate to Katsuya which is only one of the most amazing sushi places in LA. They opened up a new one in Glendale so I am thinking we can go get sushi and hubby can get his chicken terriyaki although I am sure he will find it amazing cause everything is amazing there! I went a few weeks ago and the people convinced me to get a drink for lunch. Typically I don't like to drink at a work lunch but the guy said they has the best martini in Los Angeles and so how could I turn that down? I didn't. And yes, it was one pretty damn good drink. Dare I say it...the best in LA. Other than a lunch with Kristen I plan to go to the movies. I have been on the move of late, what with my trip to London for work. I pretty much worked the last 3 weeks straight including weekends so as I write this I am pooped. Can't wait to plop myself on the couch and watch a bazillion hours of soap operas, sleep, watch Netflix and perhaps if its not raining too hard go to the movies and see some flicks. There are a couple of chick flicks I need to see. I have to rest up this weekend cuz I am hopping on a plane again next Friday but this time I am not going to a big city but rather to a tiny cabin out in the middle of no where. I can't wait to totally decompress. Where am I going? To Michigan to the U.P. My girlfriend is getting married on Lake Superior. So bring on a quiet, slow weekend! I need it!
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....
