Next week I'm going back to L.A. for a week-long visit. I have so many emotions. I feel nervous, excited, anxious, apprehensive, happy. I feel like I've changed so much in the last two years I'm not sure how I fit in there. My friends are still happy to see me, but I think my... Continue Reading →
Thank God It’s Friday!
So, in keeping with my previous post about honesty, I will say I'm honestly glad the week is nearly over. This past week has been a tough one for me. After the snow melted (and there is still some around), it was time to scurry around doing all the things that went undone while we... Continue Reading →
Honesty
I've been doing some research on various blogs and I realize the posts get the most comments are the ones where the writer is totally honest. It could be a post that is happy, sad, tragic, technical...But the feelings expressed are clearly honest. That's not to say I haven't been honest in my posts. I... Continue Reading →
Conquering Fears
So, today for the first time in my life, I drove in icy road conditions. It was scary for this L.A. girl, but I made it to my destination and back safely. It turns out the iciest roads are right in front of our house! I started out with the car in low gear and... Continue Reading →
Snowed in in Nashville
So, Nashville is having the biggest snowstorm since we moved here. Yesterday it snowed all day, and this morning, everything is white. It's eerily quiet, and I have a slight claustrophobic feeling. Lots to do, but definitely homebound today. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually go out and play in it. Still can't believe I live... Continue Reading →
Plastic Surgery
Today I was at the hairdresser and I picked up a copy of the latest People. The cover story was about Heidi Montag, 23-year-old star of The Hills and her plastic surgery obsession. She had 10 surgeries in one day recently and admits to planning even more as she gets older. Her parents weren't told... Continue Reading →
Exercise
Today was a Pilates workout. I started Pilates lessons two years ago not long after I moved to Nashville. It's something I always wanted to do but never had time. I love it! Pilates really changed the way my body looks and feels. I feel stronger and more flexible and I think I won't be... Continue Reading →
Volunteering
This past weekend was a whirlwind of volunteering at our synagogue. It was our intention when we moved to Nashville to get involved in the Jewish community as a way of making friends and connections in our new hometown. This community is quite a bit smaller than the one we left behind in L.A. so... Continue Reading →
At a crossroads
Well, after a little over two years in Nashville, we find ourselves at a crossroads. In the next year-and-a-half, our youngest will be in college and we will have an empty nest. Obviously this brings up lots of emotions and for me it's a very bittersweet time. It's also a time of re-evaluating what we... Continue Reading →
Hockey Stories
Last night I went to the Nashville Predators hockey game. This is a new sport for me since we moved here. At first, I thought it would just be brutal, but I've come to appreciate the challenges of the game. People skate on ice on thin blades chasing after a small round wooden puck not...
