StarStruk By Life

I woke up at 3:45 this morning and never made it back to sleep.  It is 45 degrees outside…I knew before looking at the thermometer that it was chilly outside, because Phoebe the amazing calico made her noisy entrance a few minutes ago, leaping on the bed, looking for a quick scratch and cuddle before […]

I’m starting to freak out a bit about auditions and sets and costumes and lights and sound.  Since I am trained as an actor and have come to directing only through watching others, I’m always a little nervous at the start.  Will I be able to get my concept across, will I be able to […]

Hus is home and it is a rainy-ish weekend and we took advantage.  Watched On Demand Jackie, went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, to Ikea for bookcases, to Chilis for a pre-movie drink and snacks, to the movies for Julie & Julia, home for Sox game…sleep all night.  Wake up, sip coffee, check email and […]

After so many cold, rainy, gloomy days this summer, I vowed not to complain when it finally got warm.  So, this isn’t a complaint, more a comment.  We could use some rain, please.  The huge catnip plant picured below is now silver grey and completely wilted from the heat… I have taken over the job […]

I was blithely skipping through my Google Reader posts this morning when I came across a post from We’re The Real Deal…it made me stop in my tracks.  This is an issue I have been dealing with and trying to come to terms with for years and I was glad to see someone write and photograph […]

I had a great time at last weekend’s Healthy Living Summit…among my favorite parts were meeting inspiring women… And spending time with my daughter… And probably the best blood orange martini I have ever tasted… OK, that is it for token photos.  My posts tend not to contain photos.  I spent the weekend with women […]
