Are There Blog Rules?

Life has been busy for an unemployed actor and writer in Los Angeles.   It has been a reflective time as well.   Maybe it’s the holidays coming.   Maybe it’s the end of the year.   Maybe it’s being unemployed.   Maybe it’s because I just don’t know what’s next.   I know I… Continue reading Are There Blog Rules?

Where Have I Been?

Where have I been? Everyday I think about writing here and then more life happens and I just don’t get to it.   It’s funny.   It isn’t like I am terribly busy.   I have been home for almost three weeks.   I have been trying to keep the apartment clean around the chaos… Continue reading Where Have I Been?

Keep Going…

I fell asleep on the couch last night in one of those awkward positions – sitting up, kind of, with my neck cocked over on a pillow and my legs stretched out in front of me on the floor.   I have asked my husband on numerous occasions to please, please, please not leave me… Continue reading Keep Going…

Life in Los Angeles

I miss Amsterdam.   Of course, being there wasn’t reality.   At least it wasn’t my reality.   While I like to say I immersed myself in the lifestyle rather than being a tourist, it wasn’t my life.   It wasn’t my daily life.   It still was vacation.   Sure I did laundry there… Continue reading Life in Los Angeles

Nobody Walks in LA

I’m still trying to get through the jet lag.   The change back from Daylight savings time doesn’t help.   It is 5:15 on Sunday evening and I feel like I could call it a day and go to sleep.   I just keep pressing through.   I’m sure this feeling of needing to go… Continue reading Nobody Walks in LA

Home Again

I landed in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening.   To say that I was exhausted is like saying water is wet.   I was spent.   As I stood at the baggage claim, fingers crossed that I would see both of my bags, a baggage handler walked up next to me with one of my… Continue reading Home Again

Fat Girl Travels Home

My last day in Amsterdam was bittersweet.   Sima and I had a wonderful breakfast on the boat.   Then we walked around town on the way to her shop.   We poked in and out of little shops along the way.   The sky was beautiful the day after a heavy rain.   I… Continue reading Fat Girl Travels Home

Last Day in Amsterdam

When I arrived nearly two weeks ago I had spent nearly 24 hours traveling here.   I had attempted to fly a week earlier but because I was flying on a stand by ticket I had to abort the mission as my original flight to JFK was oversold by 17 seats.   When I finally… Continue reading Last Day in Amsterdam

Halloween in Amsterdam

We spent the day yesterday preparing for the Halloween party on the boat.   I brought decorations from Los Angeles and Sima and Ben road their bikes to a friend who is a caterer to get pumpkins.   The pumpkins we kept seeing in the markets were different than the pumpkins we get in the… Continue reading Halloween in Amsterdam
