Rainy LA Day

California is funny and so are the seasons. Unlike most of the US which can count Fall, Winter and Spring as seasons, California has other kinds of seasons. We have The Rainy Season, The Fire Season, The Mudslide Season and The Earthquake Season or I guess you could say we have natural disaster seasons. I guess, bad traffic and weirdo seasons are the price we have to pay the weather gods for not having Fall, Winter and Spring. I am not complaining. I quite like having varying degrees of summer through out the year but it's way funny when the weather changes drastically in one day because everybody goes ballistic. I am pretty sure the folks in Wisconsin don't call for a weather watch when fall hits their state. But here in kooky LA people freak out at the slightest change. People on Facebook yelling its too hot, its too cold or something to the effect that the weather sucks. I really want to shout out "Chill Out Stupids! You live in friggin CA not Kansas. If you don't like it get the hell out." This past weekend we were in Palm Springs enjoying 80 degree weather and in one day it's pouring rain and 64 degrees. Everyone and their mother is drinking soup and wearing a trendy cardigan. The news outlets all over Los Angeles are screaming about Weather Watch 2009. I take their announcements as the official announcement of a new season. It must be our weird version of fall if the newscasters are calling for Weather Watch '09. I still can't get over how friggin' crazy people get when it rains in LA. With all the fuss you'd think a friggin hurricane was going to hit the city! People it's rain. Rain varies from light to hard. It won't make you melt. God forbid we get big droplets of rain. When we do the city closes down or rather starts to drive really poorly. I really don't get the bad driving thing. It's not like anyone is actually from Los Angeles. So I don't get why they don't know how to drive in rain. Did you people just plain forget?? It's very stressful living in LA when its not summertime, what with the fires and the impending mudslides. I know a lot of people hated today's weather but I loved the change. For the first time in a long time, I slept good last night and as a bonus I got to put on my fluffy sweater, my comfy if not over sized sweatpants and I got to surround myself with big fluffy soft blankets. I even turned on the heat. Yes, summer is over in LA but I for one enjoyed this rainy LA Day. Welcome Fall!

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....

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...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
