Sunday Brunching

Uncle Sandy and Aunt Marlene, otherwise known as the people who belong to every exclusive club in the world (think Club 33 and the Magic Castle), invited Penny out for Sunday Brunch at yet another exclusive club, the Mulholland Tennis Club. I didn't even know it existed when he invited us so with a quick Google search I found out what it was all about. Apparently it not only has tennis courts but a big pool and of course, a big club house where its members can dine. So this morning we headed up into the Hollywood Hills (think Hollywood sign) to Sandy's house. (Fun Fact: Sandy is neighbor's with Ryan Seacrest). Then we carpooled to Mulholland drive. Upon arriving the thing that caught my attention was the pool. It looked absolutely inviting!! We went up the stairs to the dining room and what did we see? A beautiful okay gorgeous view of the valley. We chose a table that afforded the best view and took up residence. Instead of having the buffet we each choose an entree. I had a Chinese Chicken Salad which was pretty tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food but it was the view that was the highlight of Penny's first brunch.

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....

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 ...

So Proud

I have yet to bear children so I am not sure what its like to be proud of your kids but I do have this "kid" at work that I am extremely proud of this week. Three years ago, when I first transferred to my current studio due to "the merge" I was one of two people who made up the international marketing team. I am sure many of you remember me complaining how crazy I was. Anyhoo, during that time when we were setting up our team, this young girl walked into my office to interview for the internship position I was hiring for. I have been working with interns for as long as I can remember and before that, I worked with young kids at movie theatres. In all my years and in all those kids I had never met a person like the girl who walked into my office that day. It took all of two seconds for me to know she was talented and she was a star. After meeting with her I called off all the other interviews and told HR to hire her. She was a rock star intern! Later when w...
