Let the Countdown begin...

Starting on March 22nd - you have 15 Shopping Days till my birthday!!! :)

Produced my first Pilot...

The spa...

This is the first set I've ever "dressed" :)

Woohooo! :) So, here are pics from our shoot on Monday! Sorry for my Venting in the other post - but was quite necessary. :) More to come and everyone send out good vibes on Friday March 23rd at 3:15p (PST).

TMK...

Guess what!? As some of you know, my friend Hal and I created a new cooking show! Well, the pilot has been shot and will be edited next week!! The shoot went amazingly well - even finishing early in the day with Hal doing a great job. He's the host and Chef of the show so it was quite a bit of work - I'll be posting pics as soon as I have them! :)
Oh and this is just a bit of venting - if you are cast in a shoot and have agreed to be in it - SHOW UP! - or at least call?! Also, perhaps calling one hour before the shoot for directions isn't the best idea - then get them, and still don't show.... Especially if you're friends with one of the people involved. Rarrr - but 'twas probably better without him. :) okay that's it - HOOOORAY FOR Cooking! I'll let you all know what's happening with it...

wow - twice in a month...

Hello everyone!
Around the beginning of March I enjoyed a lovely picnic in Griffith Park. I joined a German Club which I love - I mean really, is there a better way to spend a sunday? Speaking german and eating sausages? I think not. :) Seriously - approx 60 people showed up and each person brought at least 4 sausages so the grills were packed! Plus kartoffelsalat, sauerkraut, torten...'twas lovely. My good friends "the Caitlin's" joined me with a German friend of theirs - so here are some pics from the day. I actually forgot my camera - so these are courtesy of the organizer. :)
P.S. I did have a group pic but I can't seem to find it :(

I have new eyes!!!!

Hello hello! So, on February 20th, I stepped into the Kerry Assil Eye Institute in Beverly Hills to receive Custom Lasik Refractive Surgery. Custom Lasik means that everything is done with a laser and maps your eye the entire time of the procedure instead of manually cutting the cornea - if you really want to know more, feel free to ask me. :)

My lovely friend Hal escorted me to the 1:00p appointment and watched as I popped my first pill: a Xanax. Now, most of you know that I don't take anything - rarely even an ibuprofen so we were pretty sure that it would have an effect fairly quickly. I was not convinced of this, but as i became fascinated with a Teddy Bear given to me - perhaps it had started working. Also, during one of my exams instead of saying Red or Green, I said "Left" (with confidence!). Um yeah, maybe it worked. I entered the room fairly calm - only the beginning part hurt as this pressure was put on my eye that felt like someone was sticking a fist in my eye - but the rest was fairly painfree - just weird. The after-effect was definitely a bit tricky. My numbing agent wore off very quickly so my eyes burned like crazy and I got sick on the Gatorade they provided. As we drove home I felt quite ill and I do remember arriving at Hal's - me trying to put drops in my eyes and falling asleep within 10 minutes of arrival. Anyone who says that it's so easy right after = Liars! :) The following day my eyes felt sore but I was able to see well enough to drive! It felt like I had slept in my contacts which was quite unpleasant - but as the days have passed, I'm much more used to it and it gets better everyday!


Waiting to go in and clutching my little pouch of goodies - hmmm have i taken the meds yet? :)

Me loves my bear!!!!

Hmmm - still pre-surgery, just waiting and letting the Xanax work...

Still loving my bear - I think I was trying to poke his eyes out. Yeah, the Xanax wasn't working...

Coming out of the Operating room...eyes still slightly open...starting to burn!

My eyes are burning!!!!! Still smiling though - ha I am tough!

Eyes still burning...Yeah, I got sick on the way home - let's just say I left my mark on Wilshire Blvd. Eew but hey, i didn't get Hal's car. So impressive! :)

and that's it...oh and here's making phone calls, I don't really remember...

I haven't thrown my glasses away quite yet - actually i would donate them, but it's strange sensation that after 20 years of needing help to see - suddenly I can just get up and see! Highly Recommended!!!!! A BIG THANK YOU TO HAL for being a wonderful caretaker and his wonderful Family for taking such good care of me!
