A Lovely Treat

Mar Vista Mom — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:01:10 +0000

This morning I treated myself to a coffee and canelle at Hotcakes Bakes. Yummy!! And such a nice little, affordable treat. I had been feeling stressed out the last few days, and this was just what the doctor ordered.

A Foggy Day in Mar Vista

This morning the fog rolled in…

and this is the view from my house down the street. I can’t even see the end of the block!

Happy Thanksgiving From Mar Vista!

It’s a gorgeous Southern California Fall day, crisp, with an amazingly bright blue sky, puffy white clouds rarely seen in these parts, and I am feeling filled with the spirit of gratitude! I hope wherever you are, the weather is great, and if you’re traveling, that the roads and rails are safe.

Enjoy your day, whether it includes the large bird for dinner or not!

Sighting: Rob Reiner

Yes, Ladies and Gentleman, right here in Mar Vista, just this morning, Rob Reiner. I can’t be positive of his ultimate destination, but he was seen in the vicinity of Wildwood school, where rumor has it his children have attended.

And this is exactly what he looks like:

Let’s get started

Wherein I start with who I am.

I am a 45-year-old woman who has seen 3 of her dreams come true: to have worked in the movie industry, which I did for 15 years; to have met the man I love and to still be with him 15 years later; and to have 2 beautiful sons.

Now it never occurred to me when I was a kid that I would get to have even one dream come true, much less so many by now.

But what I now know is that I have dreams as yet unrealized. I don’t even know what some of them are yet – I only know I have to move forward and towards them.

One dream I’m working on is being a writer. I know that it is completely within my control to achieve this dream: If I sit my butt down in front of this computer and type, then I have a chance; if not, I don’t.

Another dream I have is to be able to give away large sums of money. I mean BIG. This dream will take even more work on my part, and the confluence of many beautiful coincidences and strokes of luck. It’s out there for me, I know it.

I don’t think I ever had a dream to be a blonde. In fact, I was quite happy being a brunette for about 44 years. But suddenly, here I am, a highlighted, striped-headed, bottle blonde lady of 45, and when I look in the mirror I think: Finally, the real me.

Now that’s a dream come true.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s my first step into the fray. I am launching all over again and I’m very excited.

I am in fact a mom who lives in Mar Vista, so the name really fits.
