Lisbon, Portugal









Well, it happened! I travelled to Portugal. Here are a few pictures of my business trip and a few things I learned.

1. Always ask if your ticket has been purchased - Despite having a reservation number, I got to the airport and travel hadn't issued my ticket. Had a panic moment. So did my boss.
2. Always ask if production gave you the right format. Got to Portugal and the tech guy was like why did you bring this tape? My response that is what the filmmaker gave me. Apparently there are no D5 players in Portugal.
3. Red wine in Portugal is really, really good and I hate red wine.
4. Portuguese custard tarts are super tasty.
5. Beware of resturants....this one we ate at, tried to force us to pay for our dinner in cash. Like who has $260 euros in cash?? Luckily, they were no match for Nicola and her power of reason...then why do you have Mastercard symbol on your door?....Yah, tax evaders.
6. Why have one mule when you can pay for two? Me and Bay's guy.
7. When in Europe, its a rule that you must drink heavily, especially when surrounded by other heavily drinking Europeans....cuz you must make America proud.....and just when you think you are done.......there is always more glass.
8. Beware of Irish girls and their eyes.
9. Don't underestimate the power of Justin Bieber.
10. Machine guns in the Paris airport are scary.
11. Hamburgers suck in every single European country I have been to so far. I am going to stop ordering them.
12. Sometimes you just have to dip into the minibar.
13. Getting free (all region) Blueray discs doesn't do a person any good when they don't own a Blueray player.
14. Next time hubby must come. Cuz I missed him!

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...
