Hectic

Man have these past weeks ever been busy! Not only has work been busy but life at home. Then there is Christmas and all that comes with the holidays and you could say at this very moment I am pooped.

I have just finished cleaning my house after an epic costumed birthday party centered on Alice in Wonderland. The purpose, to celebrate my husband's 35th year of birth. After showering me with 35 surprises for my 35th this past summer, I thought long and hard what I could do to try and make it up to him. I settled on a costume party with a scavenger hunt and a massive, outrageous 8 layer themed cake.

Spent the last 6 weeks cutting out hearts, stickering this and that, ordering stuff online, trying to figure out if I could replicate a beautiful fondant cake I found online and you know enough craft projects to make 35 things for a scavenger hunt. Suffice to say I was pretty busy. And like all major events in my life we get to party day and it rains.

Well, instead of stressing about it, I decided to embrace it so at the end of the day I got pretty cozy with 40 guests in my little 1200 square foot house. I am of the opinion you have to look on the bright side of things and so I just had to laugh off the rain and embrace it as good luck. Well, I guess you could say it was good luck as the party was a success. Birthday boy had a good time with his friends, my house was trashed, and I have a garbage can full of beer bottles. hehe It was a fun evening. Oh and we got those beans back. Aargh....

Here are some pictures from the evening:

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...
