So I had a long conversation with my good friend Kyra this morning and we discussed writing the screen play based on my most recent divorce.  Since 2007 when everything fell apart I have been joking that I should write the story, but she is serious.  Getting started will be the most challenging part.  How far back to do I go? I could probably write several books about my past, I do have many stories to tell.  We discussed writing it as a memoir, as a screenplay, using online media... I will have to give this more thought, but I really would like to actually do it, I know the only thing holding me back is me...

OMG! I just saw a picture of myself at my cousin's wedding this weekend.  Yikes! I look huge!!! oh it's so horrible and it is on Facebook. I feel like vomiting! I definetly need to start walking or running or something.   I'm so upset. 

Actually I have met several. Bill Murray, Elvis Costello (twice), Daniel Day Lewis, Tony Bennett, Steven Tyler, Maryann Faithful. All these people came into the retail stores I worked at in Boston and NYC.  Nick Cave, Brian Wilson and John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) were doing signings at Tower Records where I worked and I met Neil Gaiman and Rik Mayall I met in London.  One was at a book reading the other I stalked through the streets of SOHO.

So, I finally got into the 21st first century and joined Facebook. I have already connected with 2 old friends that I have been thinking about off and on for years. One of my best friends from childhood and one of my roommates from the Boston years.  Jenn llives in NJ, yay! Maybe we can actually see each other before I make my way across the country to CA.

I'm very happy to know that they are srill alive and kicking.  now if I could just find Katherine, best friend from Tampa.

Ok - so I'm at a meeting in Newark NJ sitting in the foyer working and it is FREEZING!  I have to use my personal laptop since my work one crashed last week and is being fixed.  Therefore I am taking advantage and posting. The group the meeting is for are a bunch of whiners, seriously, I have had more complaints in the last 6 hours than I ususally get in a 2 days at a meeting!  Luckily I have only 31/2 more hours to deal with them today and then until 5pm tomorrow and then... I am outta here.

So I am sitting here listening to LP's on the turntable and thinking and drinking wine. (Still Pinot Noir for those of you keeping track.)

I was thinking of my father. I spoke to him earlier in the day.  I have found that since the late 80's we have a much better relationship than we had when I was growing up.  Since he traveled all the time during my childhood, I was never comfortable around him until we moved to NH in '86. I was 17 and he took me to school everyday and I finally was able to talk to him. It was awful growing up feeling so uncomfortable when I was alone with him. Now, things are completely different.  I feel that we have the kind of relationship that my mother always wanted for me and her.  Although she pretends to be glad that I am close to Dad, I think she is jealous. She gets jealous easily of me and other parents. She was absolutely jealous of my relationship with my mother-in-law.  Even though I am divorced, I am still very good friends with my ex-husband's parents. But that's a topic for another day. 
Back to Dad.  I realized this evening that I feel so comfortable with him that I can complain about mom.  I know he understands my frustration, though he doesn't go into detail about previous years, he tells me as much.  All the things that I kept from mom about drugs, smoking, etc... I can tell Dad. This past Christmas when I was talking with my 98 yr old grandmother, that's right 98!  I mentioned that she told me about smoking in the 40's and 50's which is why she has a touch of emphysema, along with every other disease, hey she is 98!  Any way dad let me know that he knows that I smoked in the past. I was a bit shocked that he knew, but he was over it. The difference between the parents is that Dad knows we have done shit in the past and it's in the past.  No Judgment.  Mom, no matter when we did it she acts as if we need a lecture.  She is so judgmental.  This is merely one reason why I don't want to speak to her any more.  I'm sick of it.

I am so glad I have great relationships with my father,sister, and brother...
I love you all

I find this really interesting. My sister and I both did the test and came up with the same result.

I plan to be home alone with DVD's and a bottle of Champagne! It's madly snowing outside, so I'd rather be safe.  Happy New Year!

I've been curious about Mike's second wife Kathyrn.  No talks bout her and so I googled her, but couldn't find anything under "Nesmith" so I tried her maiden name - Bild.  Bingo!  I found her website and read the bio.  No mention of Mike, but talks about producing Elephant Parts, so I knew if was her. 

She lives in NYC and as I perused other parts of the site, she listed speaking engagements of which there aren't any upcoming, but I saw she listed some clients. One of the companies is Met! I can't believe it! Not only does she live in the city but the company I work for is one of her clients? 

Apparently she does coaches actors and doea motivational speaking, especially for women.  Maybe I can get her to speak at WSF next year.  Not that she'd want  to hear my questions on "what was it like to be married to the sexiest man on the planet?"  But  hey meeting her would be cool!
