Happy Birthday Christmas Baby! - December 19, 2000

Poor little D.P.! Since his birthday IS Christmas Day, I thought we'd have an early surprise birthday party with all of the crew down at The Bungalow!

Dad, Dave and StepMom Lynda joined in the fun!

Meeting Leif Garrett - December 15, 2000

The Liberty Misses went out in Hartford for their annual Christmas get together. Lo and behold, in the restaurant were 70's Superstar - Leif Garrett and the producer of his show that he was in town for. He talked with all of us and took pictures and invited us to come see him at Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury for his show, "A Child's Christmas In Wales." Kim and I did attend and to our surprise, he was actually a really good actor!

The Bahamas - October 22, 2000

This October, David and I went with his StepMom Lynda to close up their house on Paradise Island. Boy! Aren't we cute?
We had a great time and visited the Cloisters and Atlantis and hung out with our friends on the island.
We were so sad to leave. Boy - aren't we cute! LOL!

The Night Our World Changed! - July 27, 2000

I went out with The Liberty Misses tonight and they decided to go to Hartford. Good thing I decided to meet my friend in Watertown at The Bungalow! My friend's sister was friends with David's friend - and the rest is history!

Meeting Cameron Mathison - July, 2000

I had just returned from tour and was looking to expand my acting. I heard that a couple of soap actors were going to be appearing in Orange. So, I went down and met Cameron Mathison. I really didn't watch soaps, so I didn't know who he was. I guess he's famous for taking his shirt off on All My Children as Ryan Lavery? I didn't approach him like a fan, I walked up and asked him about getting into acting and what would he suggest. He was so taken aback, that we immediately struck up a long conversation. He told me about his coach in NYC and gave me her number. I thanked him and he asked if I wanted a picture, so I said sure. I was the only one that he hugged and sat in his lap. He was very nice. I did go to his coach for a year and actually was in class with the Esta TerBlanche who played Gillian Andrassy and Josh Duhamel who played Leo Du Pres. It was crazy awesome to be in class sitting next to working actors! I remember sitting in class and Esta was studying her script and Josh and I did a Meisner exercise where you sit knee to knee and after class he said I made him nervous! Imagine how I felt a few months later when he won a Daytime Emmy! I continued with the classes for a while and it helped me get the role I always dreamed of - Adelaide in Guys and Dolls!

The Liberty Misses - Summer 2000 Tour - May 30, 2000 - Athens, Greece - To the Acropolis to see the Parthenon - crybaby and the Acropocat!

It's all good - yeah, I admit I am a crybaby when it comes to the Acropolis! I have wanted to go there since I was about 7 and reading ancient mythology about the Gods and Goddesses! There's some pretty boring commentary from Taylor and I but hey, we were there and everyone wanted us to help remember what we'd seen... Watch out for Acropocat! By the way - we look really great - it is the end of a grueling tour and we're worn out! Two weeks and how many countries?
