The Last Week of July

The last week of July is always an exciting week because several of my friends have birthdays and it is also preparation for my birthday in August. Since working from home I have been able to do a weekly catch up with my mentor. This week we decided to meet up on Friday. She shares a birthday with my friend El Momma so I planned on celebrating her birthday on our Friday meet up. On Friday morning, she texted me and asked if I wanted to get my hair done. It was sort of unexpected as I don't normally go out and get my hair done with friends but I agreed. So I met at her house and we drove over to BLO at the W Hotel in Hollywood. I didn't even know that place existed but apparently Gwyneth Paltrow is a backer of this popular updo place.
Apparently, my mentor bought a package and used two of her hair do's on our visit. Upon arriving I was given a book of hair do's. It wasn't very big but had some fun options. Most of them were with your hair down but I wanted to be different so I choose the totally different "High Society" updo. It was different all right. It was a big bun on my slicked back hair ala "Breakfast At Tiffany's." I felt like a different person. I ended up wearing it two days because I didn't want a good hair do to go to waste. But man, oh man, did they ever put a lot of product and bobbi pins in it! It took a while to get the pins out and to actually wash the hair spray product out in the shower. I am not sure hubs and Miss P liked it much as they both said they liked my hair the regular way two days later when my hair was back to plain jane me. But it was fun to experience something different even though it wasn't the most flattering look on me.

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....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

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...
