I have lived all my 33-years without participating in a single “Black Friday”… until this year. Saving 15% on an appliance never trumped my desire to sleep in after eating Turkey the day before. In fact, just thinking about storming a store in a mob of… Continue Reading
Our first Thanksgiving holiday in Burbank was lovely–full of friends, calls from family, and an amazing couple of dinners. Christmas is approaching faster than I am ready for and the first of the year is around the corner. 60 days ago, I made… Continue Reading

And… so it begins. I got a gig, y’all; an honest-to-goodness Hollywood gig. I say, “gig” because it isn’t long term. In fact, it ends on Friday… but (if I play my cards right) it could/might lead to more. I… Continue Reading

I like to play what I call, “The Weather Game.” What is that you ask? If you have a smart phone, then it might be something you play, as well. When I wake up each morning, after checking my email,… Continue Reading
We stuff our brains with tons of useless information and then we try to plug in some actual stuff that is good to know and we can’t remember it for the life of us! I mean, it would benefit me… Continue Reading
As of today, there are 88 more days until January 1, 2014. Most people make New Years Resolutions but this year, I’m going to do something a little different. I’ve been so inspired by Coralie and her hard work getting… Continue Reading
