See you soon!

Dear friend,

With this little post I wanted to let you know that I am going to be back with you on Monday, December 1st. My Mother in law is already here and she is going to help me out with all the things that I have to do and with the kids. They are sooo extremely happy that she is here. I am still very tired, I will try to recover in these days, I hope that this is just stress but if I still feel the same way after my Mother in law leaves then I will need to go to the Dr. for a general checkout. Maybe I just need to see the eye Doctor, I can't see very well, I haven't checked my eyes for years, maybe I just need new glasses. Maybe I have been pushing myself too much for too long and my body is asking for help :0 Today our Nanny noticed how fast my hair is turning white on the sides,  I suspect that this has a lot to do with all my concerns about Diego and his future. I am extremely positive as you know and I am a happy person but I am human and our little Diego and his future is in my mind every second. My mind is very positive anyway , and I know that in the end I will be back to normal as usual. Fortunately Diego is doing great, Natalie and Miro and Bill too, now I just have to make sure that I am well too :) . I will miss you a lot and I cannot wait to be back on Monday, December 1st. 

Wish me good luck and I send you a big hug and lots of love!

Original Mini Papercuts on Etsy:)

Yay!!!

Let's start this Monday with something cute. Here you can see some tiny paper creatures holding some tiny paper flowers :)

 

This is a series of one of a kind mini papercuts that I just listed on my Etsy store. They look sooo cute in person! And they are ready to frame in a little 6x4" frame. Right now there are only 5 of these tiny pieces on my store, but I hope that I can list a few more later this week. I am getting ready because my Mother in Law is arriving soon and we will be doing one million things when she is here. Natalie is absolutely crazy about her Grandma and she is extremely excited about her visit!

Now I am going to run to the Gym!!! Oh! Not the kind of gym where you go for a workout but the one where Diego has OT, one of his many therapies. He loves OT! It is basically one hour playing and having fun with her therapist who is very sweet, and then he goes to school :) We all need some kind of OT once in a while :)

Have a wonderful Monday my friend!

And see you tomorrow!!

Last night was GREAT!

Dear friend,

The Los Angeles premiere of Milk was amazing. Wonderful people came to the event and the atmosphere was great. This is the second time that I watch the whole movie and went through the same emotions that I experienced the first time, what a powerful story and what a deep performance by Sean Penn. I can't wait for you see this movie, I know that you are going to appreciate it.

 

Among the celebrities that came to the event I saw Winona Ryder who was sitting a few seats in front of us. She was wearing a nice and simple dress that looked vintage to me. I once saw her in a vintage store on La Brea street, that's my favorite vintage store in LA and maybe the dress that she was wearing was from there :o

I also saw Hilary Swank. I heard someone behind us introduce herself to an old couple, she said: Hi, I am Hilary :) then I looked back and there she was with her beautiful smile. She is a very nice lady, her conversation was so natural, she didn't look like a celebrity at all.

There was also Jack Nicholson , he is one of my favorite actors. Nicholson is definitely getting old but his sense oh humor is still young :)

The were many other celebrities and they were all moved by the movie, everybody cried. After the projection there was a big party in the same building (the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Science). People in the party came to congratulate Bill for the film. I felt very proud of him for being part of this wonderful movie :)

I have no pictures of myself because we had no time at all for portraits, we had to run from our home!!! But I wore one of those black uniforms that are very useful in Hollywood, nothing special but very comfortable. I ate more than I should in the party :o (including different desserts) but today I will go back to normal :)

And tonight Bill and I are going back to the Academy building but in a different kind of business: Bill, as a member of the academy (you know, the people that vote for the Oscars) is going to be in the commission for foreign movies. MY FAVORITE ONE! I get to see all the foreign movies that are competing. There are many rules for these kinds of things. In order for Bill to vote he must see a number of movies from the beginning to the end and the voting process is top secret and for real, nobody knows the results in advance. As part of the rules, I am not allowed to talk about the movies that we are seeing every Friday. I wish I could!!! Because some of them are amazing!

Now I am leaving but first I want to wish you a wonderful Friday and a beautiful weekend.

I will see you on Monday!
