Let's Do Something New!

As you know I have decided  in 2010 that I am willing and open to new things. That is the reason for this blog. I had hoped to do one new thing a day,but as much as most do not have the dedication to watch my videos every day, I found out it was not realistic to do one everyday. I have realized that just the intention of being willing to do NEW things , has made my life more interesting, and I am very excited to continue this journey of doing new things.  I do not know where it will end up, but I DO know that so far this has been the most interesting year of my life.  Sharing new things with you on this blog has been the inspiration so thank you for continuing to stay with me here. Since it has been over 6 months of trying new things, I now seem to attract new, fun experiences without even putting an effort.  It’s like I am a “NEW THING” Magnet. Sometimes this magnet draws in things I have always wanted to do, (Like singing with Paul McCartney and watching magic with Jerry Seinfeld) but sometimes, well…..let’s just say I would not have chosen some of these NEW things…..yet, I have never regretted any of them.

As far as this new thing for today…….I found myself in the mountains of North Carolina celebrating my friends birthday, and the next thing you know, I am swinging my partner round/and/round……. A BARN DANCE found it’s way to me. It’s like the crazy new things are now seeking ME out, and all I can do is laugh my way through it.  I went into this one a “barn dance skeptic”, but in the end, there is just absolutely no way one can not find their inner fiddle and dosey doe their way to happiness with a BARN DANCE.  So click on the video when you are ready, You will see I was not a chicken to try the dance….. But even if I was chicken, what a perfect place to be……a BARN.

Enjoy!!

Looking back at my trip to Aruba, I really did try to be consistent in doing new things while I was there……it was not hard.  For me, almost EVERYTHING I did in Aruba was new!  At the end of the trip, we convinced our new friend and island native Randolf, to bring us to the all natural pools. This was located on the other side of the island, and the picture of what it was like worth a thousand……bumps.

You will see what I mean when you watch this video……..

Well, just yesterday when I had the chance to see Howard scratch and completly be frustrated—-I thought as a dog owner and “head of the pack” I needed to take action.  He needed a bath because maybe he had fleas?  Do I bathe first, then put the chemicals on to destroy whatever is itching him???   I did what any good pet owner would do—consult with facebook and see what my “friends” had to say.  They all told me….BATHE first. Although one fan of “designed to sell” told me I better wait a day to be sure I did not douse him with chemicals the same day of a bath, then asked me if yellow was too bright in the kitchen….I have no clue about Yellow, (YES it works if you’re GAY) but I DID wait a day to give Howard any chemicals.  I decided as a new thing— since I am the dog owner, why should I drop him off at a doggie place?  I needed to kill the fleas myself, bathe him myself, yet…I could not bare to bathe him in my own bathtub or shower, so….where was a woman to go????? Where could I WASH MY OWN DOGGIE?????? Then I saw it…..a place ….literally called …..

U-WASH-DOGGIE…..commanding me to take action…..THAT is a place I can respect.  I wish they had more places like that.

U-Take GIRL To NICE Place to EAT

U-stop talking and ask about HER-

U-Pay for check

I could continue, but I wont.   This is my new thing.

U (I) washed doggie.

U-Watch Video!!!

Well, I have to first apologize —I have been MIA for the past month for a few reasons…..one being that I booked a part in a movie that was fimed in Sedona…..and Called SEDONA…..and the new thing for me was first of all FINALLY  booking a part in a movie, and also a movie about the spirit of one of the most beautiful places in the world! My parents retire to Sedona in the winter, and for good reason…….it is stunning, the red rocks catching the sunlight at any time of day is incredible….. I got to be here (for 2 weeks!)  AND work with Francis Fisher, who is an amazing actress.

I play her best friend/assistant and try to calm her down as so many unpredictable things happen as she gets “stuck” in Sedona on her way to Phoenix.

Here we are taking a 5 minute break to catch the view inbetween scenes……

Alas, life has been throwing me MANY new things to do, so much so most the time I do not even need to seek them out…..however…..this is not the end of my blog, don’t you dare think that……….. I actually feel “Sedonafied” and ready to add even more new things. Hopefully some new things that might inspire you and some that will be a personal journey for me because many adventures are of the spirit, and one needs only to look inside to do some new things I will be adding to this blog. WOw, I really DO sound all new -agey all Sedona-y…..in fact I KNEW if was time to leave Sedona when I started BUYING rocks. I actually paid for a bunch of “energized” rocks and crystals.  I’ll let you know if they work….

As for now…..Here is a snippet from my “trailer” on the set. My good friend Elaine took this for HER blog and website http://www.thewholecosmos.com/ she caught me in my trailer ( I like saying that)  here ya go…….
