learning to connect

Sometimes when you’ve got it in your head that something’s gonna happen, you can end up being easily disappointed.  That happens to me. I think it happens to a lot of people. You kind’a set yourself up because you haven’t done the work or in some cases clued the other person in.  Sadly most people aren’t mind-readers, and that goes double or even triple for Guys.

I think I need a sock monkey

Last night before I went to my ER shift I knew I needed to come up with an idea for my #findthefunny Monday post and within the first half hour of getting there, a Cute Guy wheeled his Great Granny into Triage. She was smiling and all dressed up in an ivory Chanel-ish jacket and matching knit cap, so I told her how cute she looked and showed her to the Triage Window.

Then a scared|crying Little Boy and his Mommy arrived  — Read the rest of this entry »

treasure to treasure

One of my favorite stories my Dad tells me about my Mom has to do with my Grandmother, who was this very elegant super-generous lady.  My Mom and my Grandmother loved hunting for old beautiful collectibles. They especially loved anything with a lady on it, so beautiful finds from the Victorian, Art Nouveau or Art Deco periods really made them smile.

My Mom was apparently antiquing with my Grandmother in London the November before Mom married my Dad. And since it was the month before Christmas, my Grandmother was hunting for special gifts for my Mom. What she didn’t know though was… Read the rest of this entry »

I kind’a had a rough week, so I’m blanking on my #findthefunny Monday post today. Instead, I hope you don’t mind if I gather INSPIRATIONAL POSITIVITY from Shirley Temple (not the drink) and others.

I’m pretty sure by next week my glass will be filled through motivational osmosis and I’ll be back to–

Yes it’s Find The Funny Monday again—

This week’s #findthefunny moment happens at Whole Foods. I’m picking up ingredients for my Mom’s Sweet Potatoes with my little pal Owen (my neighbor Sara’s got family business to take care of and since my acting career’s on a break, I’m happy to hang with a five year-old.)

Sara’s Nana (Owen’s Grand Nana) died about a month ago (from Alzheimer’s that she had like, forever) and ever since then, Owen has been kind of obsessed with death and aging. Not in a scary way. More in an “Owenish” curious way. Since Sara told him that when people get really really really old they die, Owen has been extremely focused on exactly how old everyone is and how many wrinkles he or she has.

FIND THE FUNNY MONDAYS —

It’s a weekly post about finding the funny in something that might not otherwise be… funny.

About a month ago I started dating a guy (“G”). Not exactly my type, but potentially-interesting.  When I mentioned “G” to my dad, he was so happy that — Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always been TOTALLY into

H a l l o w e e n | C o s t u m e s

Ever since I was “Bee” at three. But, I never realized until this year, just how much ACTING and HALLOWEEN have a lot in common.

I was enlightened by a pumpkin.

And it’s not just because they both involve costumes and getting sick to your stomach. Ahaha. Read the rest of this entry »
