Technology Everywhere

August 31, 2009

Technology is everywhere! When I was in high school we took Key Punch classes. In 1993 Erika and Lyle gave us a hand me down computer, I have been hooked ever since.  First just playing games, then on AOL and now I make a living (meager yes, but still) by being on the computer over [...]

Sad – UPDATED

August 30, 2009

Baseball was a huge part of Adam’s growing up time.  It was also something that he and I bonded over.  I enjoyed spending the day at the ball field watching he and his friends and other peoples kids play as much as he did (somedays even more). Since the age of 5 he played ball [...]

Burning Up

August 30, 2009

Not only have we had record setting heat but we are being engulfed in flames. Well, not literally but yeah, pretty close.  The Station/La Canada fire started on Wednesday.  I twittered out that I was smelling smoke in Glendale and my friends responded that it was from the Azusa fire that had started the day [...]

Peanut Butter Gooey Cake

August 28, 2009

This is one of my favorite desserts to bring to any potluck or family gathering.  Rarely are there any leftovers.  My best piece of advice is to cut the pieces smaller than you want to, because it is VERY rich. Ingredients: 1 box chocolate cake mix (any chocolate) 4 eggs 2 sticks of butter (melted [...]

What to do?

August 28, 2009

Marisa and the kids have been pretty active this summer, going to readings at the library and events at the mall.  It seems there is always something to do.  When my kids were little, I was hard pressed to find things for them/us to do all the time, especially in the summer when it is [...]

Boring and Depressing

August 24, 2009

I haven’t written much personal stuff lately, because everything personal has either been extremely boring or extremely depressing. I haven’t worked a show since mid-July, so the coiffers are bone dry.  Dry to the point that my bank has closed my checking account because it was overdrawn for an extended period of time.  Although a [...]

Dive Olly Dive – Ship Shape Sub

August 24, 2009

When Jackson watched this one, he declared it “dumb and girlie”.  oooookay I thought, I will take it home and let Caitlyn watch it, she is 2 years younger than him (therefore dumber by his standards I am sure) and lo and behold a Girl. When I first put it in for Cait she said, [...]

Bandslam

August 23, 2009

Had I realized Vanessa Hudgens was in this film, I may have stayed away.  I am glad I didn’t. The theater was filled with all ages from young wannabe teenagers to people older than myself.  I think I can speak for all of them when I say that it was enjoyed by everyone, the resounding [...]

The Goods

August 23, 2009

I didn’t know I like Jeremy Piven.  I have never seen Entourage or anything else he has been in as far as I can recall.  I didn’t even think I would like this movie when I saw the preview.  But like it I did. Piven is a funny guy, without being overly stupid to get [...]
