Up Late Again

I guess this is one of the downsides of being single again. I just can’t seem to sleep anymore. It’s kind of a big joke in the family and with all of my close friends, this reality that I can function on so little sleep. 3-4 hours really isn’t a big deal for me. But, [...]

Total for the first 24 hours of this storm week…

So, according to WeatherBug we got 1.83″ of rain here in Encinitas in the first 24 hours of storms for the week. That’s a lot of rain for San Diego. Can’t wait to see how much more we get as the week progresses. One side benefit of all this rain… I have my afternoons off [...]

Rain

I have to say I am very pleased that it is raining outside. I know most people in So. Cal. hate it when it rains. But I find it refreshing. As though we are getting a good rinse down as the new year starts. Like we’ll all have a fresh clean slate to start from [...]

2010 – Futures

So I’ve spent the last few days thinking a lot about the future. It’s time to set some new goals in my life. I turn 35 in May, so maybe I should look back at the goals I had set for myself and see if they’ve come to pass. There were really only a couple [...]

2010 – First Impressions

So it’s not quite two weeks in to the year 2010 and I thought I’d take a moment to put down some thoughts on the year so far. I remember being a kid and watching the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact and thinking that 2010 was sooooo very far off. Can’t believe I’m [...]

One Day at a Time

They say breaking up is hard to do. I don’t know if that statement is from the perspective of the dumper, or the dumpee. Speaking as the dumpee, it sucks. But I survived the loss of my father over two years ago, and while this feels very similar to that, I know that this pain [...]

Heartbroken

Just an update for my family and friends. I am fine. The last few weeks have been confusing and difficult and definitely not what I had imagined for myself at this point. But I am strong. This too, shall pass, and I will overcome. Fear not for me. I am here, and I will be [...]

Feeling confused, devastated and hopeful…

So, I’m not going to go into details here in my blog… but this weekend has been a major one for me. Some serious stuff went down on Friday night and I’ve been trying to cope with it all weekend. I basically got blind sided by some incredibly unwanted news on Friday and it’s left [...]

I also sang on the cruise…

In fact, I made it to the PopStar Finals show on the last day of the cruise. Here’s the performance from the final and one of my competition nights: It was a special treat to get to perform in front of a crowd with my Mom watching. It was like a dream come true for [...]

My Mom sang Crazy on our cruise. It was the first time I’d seen her perform publicly since the 1990′s. She was amazing. Such a natural performer. I love you Mom!

9.11 – Never Forget

I have my own feelings about 9.11. They don’t necessarily jibe with the viewpoints of a number of my friends. My visit to Ground Zero in 2007 was incredibly sad and moving. I had to find a bench at one point to sit down on because my knees were buckling and tears were coming from [...]

Baby Kale turned 1
