Had to do it. Despite the massive crowds, I took The Girl to the Americana to witness the annual tree lighting ceremony which seemed to happen early this year. I almost left because we had such a poor view but i ended up leaving that locations and walking around to where we were in year's past and ended up having a good time. Although this may be the last year I go because it is so crowded and I have yet to see the stage show because of all the people. It is nice to see a big tree all decorated. Reminded me of my old Paramount days when they lit up a big tree for the studio.
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....
