Now,Now,NOW!!!!!

ADHD?
These last few days have been totally nuts.  I've been experiencing manic-depressive type symptoms and No, I'm not manic-depressive. (not that judge those who do, thank god I don't have to add that to my list!) I do have anxiety issues every once in awhile but my mood lately has gone from being as high as my friends in Greensboro, to as low as you can get. I'm not sure if God wants me to go to Galveston just yet. I'm working on all the logistics that come with bringing your two kids to a devastated wasteland and its not going very well. My girlfriend Brandi has a lot of her family staying with her already, so I don't want to add to that craziness. I could stay with Frankie, but he might have to find his own place to stay soon and it wouldn't be that smart of me to have to rent a place. I don't know what to do.

Can I go now? Pleeeeze....
I just really want to be in Galveston right now, I feel this overwhelming urge to be a part of the rebuilding of this great town. I know that G-town will rise from the ashes like a phoenix and will be better than ever, but its hard to fathom how long it is going to take. This feeling is very hard to explain, I guess the anxiety i've been feeling is part helplessness. My hands are tied (I wish!) and I am racking my gorgeous little brain right now trying to figure out a way down there.

There's no place like home, there's no place like home...
I promise you, you will not be able to find another place like Galveston! Because Galveston is a small island, It is very self-contained. Everyone knows each other. Everyone! One down side is that there are alot of little clicks, but i've always tried to mingle with everyone. The island is very laid back, it is a surf/beach community. You won't find alot of pretentiousness on this island, unless you are one of the few families that own most of the place! Sorry, even they are super cool, not snobby in the least.... If you want to wear a cute pair of shorts and a tee shirt out to the bar you can. If you feel the need to get a little more dressed up, there are also plenty of upscale establishments to go get your drink on! You can also drive less than an hour and be in the middle of the fourth largest city in the United States. Sounds like paradise to me! I've lived in Chicago, South Beach, Madrid, and Houston and Galveston is my favorite!!!

Dougherty   Died July 6, 2004 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom My nephew, Scott Dougherty, 20 of Bradenton, Fl. was killed July 6,2004, when his Humvee struck a tank mine in Anbar province, Iraq. His Humvee ran over a tank mine, flipped over a ravine and exploded. He was a proud Marine in the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, N.C. He was fun loving kid with a great sense of humor.

He joined ROTC in high school and enlisted in the Marines in 2002 after graduating. He was just two days out of combat training when he was deployed to Iraq for five months. He was three months i...

On Set.... Detroit 187-How I got invited to the Wrap party.....

Image
courtesy of ABC                    I have to say, I am dying to tell you all the juicy details of the wrap party for Detroit 187. First of all you need a little background on how I even was invited. For the last year or so I've been a doing a little "acting". I don't think I can call myself an actress, but I have been paid for lines in a movie so maybe I am.  My significant other is on the show since the first episode and he kept bugging me to become a uniform police woman, which is a recurring role (and pays more). Finally with only 6 episodes to film, I said yes. Of course, everytime we got an availablity check from RealStyle (our extras casting agency), we put in for the same days. It seemed like we were never going to work together.               My first gig on set was hilarious and totally embarrassing (at least to me). First thing I had to do was check in, then go s...

National Lampoon's Federal Vacation: Still Searching for Mr. Mojito…

Image
                                                     Still Searchin..... Old Alexandria Photo by Hope  It does seem like my whole trip to Washington was nothing but mojito’s, though I did spend a couple days doing the “tourist” thing. I took the Metro to Alexandria one day, in my “cute” shoes and made it about 5 blocks before I had to sit down and have a refreshment.  The shops were impossibly cute, but definitely not cheap.  Of course as I waited for The Metro, low and behold the Amtrak rolls by. Seriously??? I am forever traumatized. Why did I take The Metro? Because I "thought" it was an underground train. I was wrong, it goes above ground after awhile. Great. Another photo by Hope By the time we left all I wanted to do was kick my shoes off and go to sleep.  The next day I even did the double-decker bus tour around D.C....
