Mommy, Daddy, and Penny had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day 2015. We started with a little photo shoot at the Picture People which resulted in the below two glamour shots. Then we continued the fun on the 13th with dinner and presents at Little Beast, our news favorite restaurant in our 'hood.
It is so stinking fun to watch Penny absorb all of these holidays. She especially loves presents. My heart melts when I give her something and then she grabs my leg for squeeze and says "Thank you Mommy!" This year I gave her a bag full of goodies that included a pink big eyed giraffe, candy, and SpongeBob T-shirt and Legos courtesy of Paramount. I worked with a custom Vinylmation artist for hubby's present which was a hand painted Alice in Wonderland Vinylmation featuring Alice in a Teacup. I had so much fun helping the artist design Alice! Now I really want to do another one!! Finally, on the day itself. And then, we spent the 14th at Disneyland! I made lunch reservations at the Carnation Cafe which I thought was only appropriate for a Valentine's Day lunch and we noshed on our favorites meals there. We had a great day in the park, taking in the new Frozen play and seeing Snow White, Cinderella, and Belle. Disneyland never gets old!
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....
