An amazing event
17 July 2010
I have to say thank-you very much to the Matt Leinart Foundation for hosting such an incredible event in Los Angeles the other day. It was great to be invited to participate and donate to such a wonderful cause. Take a look at the link to see what a few of us had to say, and visit the Matt Leinart Foundation website to learn more about this wonderful charity!

Just fun stuff!
27 June 2010
So much fun stuff going on! Work is amazing, and summer is great. Spent all of Saturday boating which is by far one of the best ways to spend a day ever....going out again next week, and the away for the long weekend. Living by the ocean-- a boat is a must. I wish I was in one place long enough to actually get one...soon I hope.
Jazz fest going on right now, and tons of other stuff. World cup has the whole city in party mode so what more could I ask for! I start filming my next show in just over a week, so I am fitting in as many activities as I can until then....
love to y'all...xoxox

Alright, congratulations to Chicago for the win last night....It was a great game and even tho everyone knew they were the stronger team and would probably win, the Flyers played great hockey and didn't make it easy for Chicago...so congrats all around....
now it's onto B Ball and World Cup...
What else? Busy at work. Excellent group of people,beautiful locations...also great to be working close to home. Love being in Vancouver.
Tom Petty with my Dad the other night. Amazing show. So great to hear one of my fav songs live..."won't back down" and experience I will never forget...picture attached of course.
Hope all is well out there for you all...

Clumsy
26 May 2010
song of the moment....OUR LADY PEACE
CLUMSY
Throw away the radio
Suitcase...Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case...You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It's not alright now...You need to understand
There's nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends...You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here
Throw away this very old...shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand...there's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in...watching you and
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy has you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in...
I'll be wavin my hand...Watching you drown
Watching you scream...Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here
Back to work....
FACEBOOK REMINDER

Hi friends...Ok ,so I just noticed that again some of my friends and family are writing on a facebook wall that is not me!! They are wonderful fan pages that someone has made for me (thank-you) but I personally have no connection or ability to write any of you back on these sites...it's NOT ME! So please don't take it personally if I'm not writing you back -but I can't! And anyway I'm not into social network sites, so you have to get in touch with me the old school way- okay!!

On my feet

I have a very talented group of friends over at Native Shoes. Amazing style, fit and comfort. They are all I will have ON MY FEET this summer.
Thanks to my friends over there for hooking me up with samples...I love my new kicks.
Here is a photo of my feet in my living room, sporting my two new colors of the "miller" style. Baby blue and black.

Down time=Slow cooking
26 April 2010
I am enjoying some "down time" while auditioning and planning new projects..It just "happens" to be play off season and yes, the Canucks won, yet again, and are now going to the second round...bye bye LA....besides watching every game, I am obsessed with Slow Cooking. I got it for Christmas and it is amazing. Today I got up early to put together "maple bacon corn chowder". OMG it smells so good, and it is all from scratch...even the maple bacon was slow cooked (in the oven) before adding it all together in the pot. I am so proud of myself!! Cooking is VERY new to me, but I am really enjoying it!!
While that deliciousness slow cooks -I am off to the dog park, car wash, gym then home to eat this amazing chowder! And tonight, I am getting crazy and making "maple bacon chocolate chip cookies" yes, you heard right, and I can't wait to try them. Salty and sweet...I have to take the first batch over to my brothers place, now that I told everyone I'm making them, I have to follow thru...doing this all now before I get too busy again...

Had some good times in Toronto despite the freezing weather....
One of my best friends owns the beautiful Jonathan+Olivia Boutique in Toronto so on my one and only day off, I spent the day shopping a hanging out with her at her store. I took the street cars and subway all around...it was so fun. I love adventures in new cities. Public transit is pretty fun most of the time. It can be funky but that's what I love about it. I get stopped alot from people wanting to talk about shows I've done and what I'm working on, and that's always neat.
Anyway, Jackie and I had such a fun time and it made my time in Toronto so much better! I work so much that I forget to get out and actually see the city I'm in! So thanks Jackie and staff for a great time...!!!

love to all xoxox

Blog blues...
11 March 2010
I haven't blogged in a while cause I'm feeling like my blog sucks! There are so many great ones out there. I'm not loving mine so much! I just don't know, I don't really say too much so I'm not sure if they are good to read! I mean, for me it's like a little diary, that I censor a little of course, but not sure if what I'm actually feeling is getting across. Although I have written a ton in school, college etc, I am not a writer. I have finally started writing my screenplay and damn, I am terrible! My ideas are screaming to get out onto the page, but so far, it's not translating into what I had hoped. I feel this may take years, and thousands of revisions, but hey it feels amazing regardless. I have produced but never written. I've had this TV show in my head for about six years. I'm finally writing the pilot. But anyway that's when I started thinking about my blog and how that was translating as well!
Sooo...Thursday night. So beat. What a week. I just need sleep. wow. I just wrote that like a rhyme. A bad bad rhyme.
Ok so yeah, went Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, then back up to Vancouver (next week) then back to Toronto again then....don't know. Have not decided. Things change on a dime. But needless to say, I am giving myself a night to relax. This pilot season has been amazing but so hard. SO close to two huge studio shows, tested for both but did not end up with either one in the end. So as thankful as I am for the opportunities, I am sad. And allowing myself to mourn! This job really takes the piss out of you, and many people cave, give in, and join the bitter train when things don't go their way. But I refuse to. It is after all, what I love to do, and with the ups, there are the downs and then you keep going. I will keep going! But tonight, is my night to curl up and feel sorry for myself. The good news? I'm in beautiful sunny hot California and will wake up to sun and run and a coffee. Life is good! Wait, I'm supposed to be bummed tonight...ok back to that!
Best treat, Pinkberry with blueberries, strawberries, and mochi. Screw you Yogurtland, I don't care how LA it is to switch, I'm staying with Pinkberry.

It was incredible..then see our boys take the gold in Hockey, downtown Vancouver with all my friends and Celebrate in the streets after!!! It was amazing....I love being in the middle of all the action...no standing on the side linea...get right in there and go for it!!! Here's couple pics of what was happening...ok...back to work!
