NEWS FLASH!

December 4, 2003


Happy Belated Thanksgiving, everyone!

Had a great time in Florida with boyfriend and parents. Made a killer stuffing, if I do say so myself. I just dropped 28 pounds on Weight Watchers (great program!), so I was very happy that my mother (a fellow Weight Watcher) was as interested in a calorie-conscious Thanksgiving dinner as I was. I was particularly proud of my stuffing because it contained no butter or oil or added fat. It had a ton of vegetables, lots of fresh herbs, low-fat chicken sausage, raisins and apricots, and it was moistened entirely with chicken broth and applesauce. YUM!

Now that I got that off my chest...

Just to follow up since the last newsflash, the State Farm industrial was a BLAST! We played to amazingly appreciative audiences. In fact, I may never again get laughs as big as the ones I got in Las Vegas. Can you imagine 11,000 people all laughing at the same time? It's pretty heady. Spending three weeks in Vegas was wild. I managed to eat at only three buffets the whole time. :-) And although I gambled quite often, I escaped the city down a mere $60, which works out to an "entertainment fee" of about $3 a day. Totally worth it. Only saw one show while I was there: Cirque du Soleil's "O," which was great. Interesting note: I was there when Roy was attacked. It hit the town pretty hard.

Since I've been back, the only acting work I've done has been All My Children. I've been appearing in the recurring role of "Dr. Parker." People want to know if I'm good or evil, and the answer is neither. It remains to be seen how involved I will become in the storylines, but I'm having a great time working on the show. My first episode aired on November 20th, and upcoming dates that I think I will be on are: December 5th*, 15th, 19th*, and January 8th and 12th.  The dates that are starred are the episodes in which I have more "interesting" material (translation: more lines).

Hope you are all well and enjoying the Holiday Season!

XOXO
