Penny is Officially a Puff

This past Sunday, Penny was inducted into the Power Puff Girls, a club that I have been a part of for almost 12 years now. Back in 2001, I found myself switching careers. I went from working in exhibition to working for movie studios. My first studio gig not only introduced me to marketing, which I now call my career but it introduced me to several good friends.

Two days before Christmas, in 2003 we were all given the news that we no longer had jobs. I found myself signing termination papers with a 104 temperature. Merry Christmas to me!

Well, 5 of us girls decided to stay in touch and for the past 10 years we have been having dinners all over town. I have watched these 4 ladies get promoted, switch studios again and again and of course, have been there when they got married, adopted a dog or needed a shoulder to cry on.

I was the first of the group (Susan, Katrina, Daos and Jen) to have a baby. Last fall one of the girls, Susan, moved out of state as her hubby is a pilot so we thought we had had our last dinner together. Well, as luck would have it, Susan was in town this past weekend and us busy LA girls were all free. So we met up at Buchon, in Beverly Hills and the girls (we dubbed ourselves The Power Puff Girls) were introduced to Penny. Now seeing as they don't have children, some of the girls were a little leery to meet her. However, my little lady was so very good that all 4 girls agreed she was the newest member of the club.

As I was heading to brunch I had a feeling that some big news would be revealed and I was right. Katrina stood up and showed us a big bump on her tummy. Looks like Penny won't be the newest member of the Puffs for long! Katrina revealed she is due Dec 23rd which is one day after Penny'a due date. I am so very happy for my friend as I know she had been trying for a baby. Perhaps now, our club's name will have to be changed to The Power Baby Club or the Power Mommie's Club! We told Susan she will be next!

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....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

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...
