June Gloom

Do you ever let the blue bug get a hold of you? When it does nothing seems right or fun. I got the blue bug late last week. It's hard to let it go when you get it. I know fretting doesn't do any good but all the same the blue bug is not a reasonable bug. I feel like I have reached a point where I need to make a change but I am not sure what that change is or how to do it. That is what is so depressing..knowing you have the power to change something but being to cautious or lets just say it, afraid to do something about it. This morning I seemed to have a break through and found a spark of excitement but then it was ripped away. Afterward, I knew I wasn't blue anymore but just bored. Oh June Gloom I don't like you. When will the sun come back as I am always a sunnier person when the sun is shining. It's easier for me to be a Pollyanna when I am surrounded by sunshine.

Anyhoo, now that I am bored and not depressed I am trying to conquer the boredom bug. I decided last night that perhaps I should lose myself in a book. So I researched online and according to some "fun beach reads" lists and some "books you should read this summer" lists I have come up with the following books to try and read this summer.

1. Dead Until Dawn aka the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris (there is 10 of them)
2. The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyon
3. Can U Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella
4. Talus by Ozan
5. Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks (Wasn't this a Kevin Costner movie? hum not sure on this one)
6. Any Dan Brown book
7. Sorbonne Confidential
8. Water for Elephants
9. Time Traveler's Wife (the lists promise its better than the movie
10. When You Are Engulfed in Flames b David Sedaris

I might also check out the Eagle Rock library. Today I was reminded that libraries exist when the girl who works for me asked if she could leave so she could return some books. I used to remember a time when I had a Burbank library card and I actually used it. So yes, maybe just maybe I will get out of the house and go check this library out because God knows my fried egg of a brain needs some nourishment. Now lets see how many of these books I read. I hereby challenge myself to read these this summer.

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....

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...

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...
