Thank you to everyone who tuned in to see “Family Secrets” last night on Lifetime Movie Network*! If you missed it, it re-airs on Friday, November 8th at 8AM EST. Part way in, my cable box froze & rebooted. Murphy’s Law! From what I saw my dentist will be very angry that I have rebuffed … More I Need Botox, Y’all! And Other Lifetime Movie Network Observations
Many months ago, I was cast in a docu-drama pilot called “Family Secrets” for the Bio Channel. It never aired & I thought it was dead in the water. But…lo! It is scheduled to air this Sunday, Oct 27 on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) at 10PM EST and again at 2AM Monday, Oct 28. Since it’s … More I’m on Your Tee Vee this Sunday!
Highlights from my classic New York week in a nutshell: — Worked on “The Following” where I cheek-kissed Connie Nielsen about 20 times & ogled Kevin Bacon for 12 hours. — Ran 7 blocks through crowded streets in Queens & raced up 3 flights of stairs at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts to vote in … More Classic NYC Week
Twelve years ago on July 3rd, I met my best friend. Today, I buried her. Over the last few weeks her health declined rapidly. By Sunday, I knew she was living out her last full day with me, so we spent the night on my fire escape watching the sun set over Manhattan. Nothing makes … More Rest in Peace, My Sweet Paquita
The first and only time I was summoned to the principal’s office I was in 6th grade and eleven years old. Hearing my name called out in science class sent an electric jolt through me. I felt the sting of every eyeball on me as I slunk out of the room toward Mr. Simmons’ office, a place … More Throwing Tampons Must Be a Texas Thang
I was watching “Cheers” and nearly choked on my chicken when I saw the shirt Carla was wearing. I had the same shirt when I was 10 yrs old and wore it on my brother’s 14th birthday. It’s like the trailer trash edition of Who Wore it Better?
I came across a mustard yellow moth, perched on the sash of a window. Had it not been perched on a white windowsill, it otherwise may have been overlooked. But I gently prodded his wings open and LO! Moral of the story? You don’t know what beauty, talent and creativity is lurking beneath until you … More One To Grow On
I’ve tuned in to two episodes of “Here’s the Thing” hosted by Alec Baldwin on NPR and find it immensely listenable. I actually ran a 10K (6.2 miles) yesterday listening to the interview with Lena Dunam. Listening to two people chat thoughtfully might not seem like a good running companion, but I was completely engaged … More “Here’s the Thing” with Alec Baldwin
So, I’m guessing everyone reading this already knew that baking soda cleans chrome like new. WELL NO ONE TOLD ME! I just learned this today and am now looking for anything and everything with a shiny surface to scrub! Okay, so I received my birthday gift to myself in the mail today. A vintage Swing-A-Way … More Baking Soda Chrome Cleaner
Happy birthday to me! And my mom and my sis-in-law. As a gift to us all, I made a bunch of indulgent little gifts. First and BEST, I made some brown sugar body scrub to mimic my favorite body polish by Fresh that costs $65 for a 14 oz jar! (GULP!) It’s heavenly. It exfoliates gently, … More Bath & Birthday Works
