Day Two of My Hollywood Adventure

We checked into our hotel on Saturday or Memorial Day weekend and the place was crawling with young Hollywood types everywhere. We were given neon wrist bands at the front desk for the pool party that would be taking place all night both that day and the next. I knew I was in for some trouble already. I had no idea our hotel was such a haven for partying. I would never have booked it. My partner and I went to bed at our usual time of 8:30 pm, I know, I know, but hey in recovery I am a morning girl now. Long gone are the days of the all-nighter for me, I am a 5:30 am wake-up girl now!

Day One of my Hollywood Adventure

The thought of spending seven days in California was an absolute delight. My baby (Roma, for future reference) and I were so excited as we share a common love of all things celebrity. Part of it is normal fascination of the lifestyles of the rich and famous and the other part is more of our yet to be lived dreams, hers of being a rock start and mine, well writer/actor would do just fine. Our Saturday mornings begin with a mutual pouring over the pages of People Magazine, her sipping tea and me slamming down my strong as hell Starbucks coffee. We scan each page checking out new places to log in our travel celebrity stalker files for any upcoming trips. With LA being the next stop of the book tour, the celebrity capital of the world; we had been doing some major research. Read On

I’m back…did you miss me?

I was out in Los Angeles for a week for the book and it was fantastic! I took a break from writing and had no internet…I know, can you imagine…I even took a couple blackberry breaks. And while I vibrated in withdrawal a little and felt an odd sensation in my right hand like something was missing the whole time; I did survive. I am so addicted to my “crackberry” that a little necessary detox was long overdue…

Veggie delight in Philly and Miley Cyrus

I have returned from my travels in Philadelphia. It was a great trip and I must say that I think I single handedly revitalized the city’s economy. Seriously, the mayor should give me like a certificate or something. I went a little crazy but it was way fun! I miss the big city environment if not simply for the wonderful vegetarian and vegan options at so many restaurants. I can actually walk into most trendy little places and find multiple options for my little veggie palate! Not so much in central PA….the options are pasta or salad. Seriously, can I get some tofu please!! I had….drum roll please….Tofu BBQ Wings that were to die for at this little place called The Belgium Café on 21st and Green Street, if you are ever in Philly, I highly recommend this place it was awesome!

Crutching and Philadelphia

Holla! I hope your weekend served you well. I had a great one with one minor exception. I was at my usual Saturday morning body combat class, throwing punches and kicking the air like Jackie Chan on crack. This is how I roll.

Thank you central PA!

Wow, is all I can say about my first book signing at Barnes and Noble! I am so grateful for all of you who came out to hear me speak and to purchase my book. I couldn’t believe every time I looked up how many more faces I saw in the crowd. You were a beautiful group of people and so encouraging for me as the author! Thank you so very much. We had over 100 people packed into that area of the book store last night. Barnes and Noble ran out of books!!!! Now there is a problem any author wants to have!!!

Top of the morning to ya!

Sorry I couldn’t resist…I am like a 1/3 Irish so I had to represent. I just got back from the Writers at the Beach Conference in Rehoboth Delaware. I don’t think I can even find words that can express how energizing, wonderful, educational, inspiring and rejuvenating this whole trip was…oh hey look, I just found some words! It was all that a bag of green colored chips.
