Where Has the Month Gone?

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!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

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....
