CABO SAN LUCAS

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Flying during the holidays is always a special experience.  I am currently sitting in the gate seating…supposedly boarding the plane in ten minutes.  Everyone has experienced the terrible airport nonsense so I won’t waste blog space describing it here.

I am SOOOO excited to be in Cabo during the holidays, although right now it is difficult to even imagine.  Everyone is going to be there…family that should be ripped apart by divorce is celebrating in style south of the border!  That’s hot!

My dieting took a downward turn as the sweets arrived at our office with their usual holiday regularity.  I was very good in continuing to avoid wheat gluten though-despite the temptation of cookies, wafers and some delicious baked jewish items that I cannot remember the name to….unfortunately, Godiva chocolates do not have wheat gluten.  Nor does that white cheddar popcorn.  So-my bikini ready bod…not quite so bikini ready.  Glad that I packed the adorable donna karan tankini just in case.

But I’m not stressed….I will just keep repeating my mantra….

‘Tan Fat…is Good Fat!”

Tom’s not dead

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

In my earlier post, I expressed fear over the demise of a great guy, Thomas Kennedy. He went to Korea in October and I hadn’t heard from him since. I wrote a scathing email accusing him of being dead and it worked! My previous nice emails had not received responses.

Before I sent the aforesaid scathing email, I struggled with what seemed to be my ‘options.’ Tom is one of my good friends, I have known him since fifth grade and we have been close friends ever since we were seventeen. There have been long stretches of time where we have not communicated and that has been fine. We never seem to truly grow apart even after years of not communicating. I’ve been through a lot with Tom and he is the only friend I have who has actually met Grant, the supposed love of my life. (Married conductor.) He has met him on several occasions.

Before Tom left, we spent a great deal of time together and I felt really good about reconnecting with him before he embarked on this journey. He talked about me visiting and I had already laid the groundwork of that plan with Travelin’ Jilly.

But then I hadn’t heard from him. At all. And after I sent a few fun “how is Korea” emails, I felt that I basically had two choices:

a) give up
b) write an email where I express my frustration about the lack of communication.

Well, we all know which one I took. (PS-to new readers…I never give up.)

And the response was immediate and very positive. Not only did he write back but he felt bad for not writing earlier and told me all about his experience in Korea!

In this case, the response was positive. What do you think? Is this always the right choice?

Nyquil-the new crack

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

So, it started yesterday. Felt dizzy, throat hurt. Then I Airborned the hell out of my system and thought that I had beat it. Today, it came on strong and now I’m writing this blog after sleeping for five hours. I just took some nyquil to help me go back to sleep before starting my principal callback auditions for the off broadway musical that I’m casting. YIKES

Anyway, it sucks to be sick. But you know what is worse?

I am afraid that my dear friend Tom is dead. I know. I shouldn’t say it but what the hell???? He hasn’t posted a blog since he fled the country for the calm peaceful shores of Korea. He also hasn’t responded to my emails, which is just rude. Everyone knows that you can check your email everywhere in the world and in Korea it is probably offered at the parking meters. So what the hell???? Has anyone else heard how that guy is doing?????
