I hate when this happens; you start something, but you are not able to work on it as much as you like, and that is what is going on with my blog. I really have to get back on track, and make sure to do more updates. Today I am looking for a power chord for my laptop. Who would have ever thought that it would take this long, to find one, I should just go to Apple and pay the $100.00 o buy one, but I am so cheap that I don’t want to do that or should I say that I am frugal shopper… Well, here are some updates that are going on:
HOUSE SITTER:
Since my last post I have finished my house sitting DVD, and I have sent some out to see if I can get any responses from the a house sitter. I hope so. The current person I have there is really great, but I am not sure I can afford her for the duration of six months, when there are some people that do this as a job, and they pay all of their utilities. I really need someone that wants to do it for free!
Foundation:
I have decided to take a break from my mom’s foundation for the summer months. I really need to revamp it and bring in people who want to share my dream with me. With trying to make a decision if I should keep the house, or sell/rent it, I just need sometime to get my thoughts and things together! And you know what that is the smartest decision that I made! I am going to schedule a board meeting on Saturday when I get to Florida to go over next year’s event, fundraiser with the board members. I am also looking forward to that. I hated to cancel the annual community talent show, but maybe we will be able to bring it back in September, I just need a break right now because I have so many decisions to make.
Production:SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER! That is the best news I have had all day. This summer I am going to work on two projects at the same time. I am going to prep and try to get funding for the documentary, help put the On The Plus Side Show together, and get some of the casting done for MLT. Don’t you hate it when:::::::::: People call you with an idea, but the words “FOLLOW THROUGH,” does not mean anything to them? Well, that is what I am dealing with, with two projects..I will give details later about that. I hope to get to the movies to see The Hulk..More details to follow!~

Sex and the City Rocks!
Sex and the City Rocks!
I am so glad that the gang got back together: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon. From “Big” to Jennifer Hudson’s new found stardom. The movie was a hit for fans! The women certainly show that women in their forties, “Dare to Be Different,” by their own standards.
House Sitter Problems!
Sorry again! I hate it when I am unable to blog on my page! This week has been the week from HELL! Ok, so I finally get a house sitter, and of course I am a little upset because I have to pay her for doing it, but I am thinking that I am only going to need her services for one month, and then I am going to use one of the house sitters from the following services: http://mindmyhouse.com/ or http://mindmyhouse.com/. Both of these websites are AWESOME, if you ever need a house sitter, you should check here and they even give you information about how to do a house sitting agreement and what to ask potential house sitters. So my problem started Wednesday. If you know my luck, then you will know that I always pick a person, and they never want to follow through. Well after calling the house sitter three days in a row, she finally calls to tell me that she has been sick with a cold, and was unable to call or get out of bed…People are a TRIP!!!!!
After all of this she wants to start on Monday…So in the mean time if she does not start on Monday, I had to get my friend’s brother to do it.. This always happens when I don’t over plan……

Indian Jones!
What a BAD Movie! I guess I wanted to see the old Indian, without the space ship, but this one had a modern twist to it, that I did not enjoy.
The film was not that bad -- there are some “wow” moments, and a couple of good acting performances by Harrison Ford and Karen Allen-- but the unprecedented mixture of comedy and entertainment that made the other films AWESOME, was not in this movie, and actor Shia LaBeouf was very “luke warm,” in this film. I thought that he did a better job in Disturbia.
It Has Bee A While!
Hey! I am so sorry that I have been SO BUSY! That I have not had time to Blog! But I am, back! Where should I start? I will tell you a little about the Youth Expo that my mom's foundation had. It was a great event. There were lots of people from the entertainment industry who were able to share the job skills with the youth of the community. One guy even agreed to come back and screen his film with the youth. I was also able to get lots of people within in the community and out to donate items. Publix even donated items for our breakfast and some of the prizes. I will post photos up a little later.
House Sitter Wanted!
Since the break in at my mom’s house I have decided to get an house sitter. What a task. I did not know that I had to do back ground checks, talk to references, and after all that; try to find someone that I can trust to watch the house. What an experience. I thought that I had a young lady who seemed to be so interested because she kept tracking me down, but the day before we were to meet, she decided to keep her job in Washington, DC. So much for that! I have had several friends who wanted to do it, but I don’t know if I want to be in the way of screwing up a friendship because a person does not know how to watch your house. So at the last minute I went with my friend’s neice, but I am not sure how long that is going to be because she is charging me to do it! Can you believe that? It is not that I don’t want to pay, her because I really need her, but I am not sure if I can pay her for an entire year! With the high prices of gas, no one is sure of anything! I notice that a lot of people house sit, and they pay all of your utilities bills, but at this time I could not be choosey, I hope that I am able to find someone who wants to do it the whole entire year. While I was home I did a DVD to show people what the house looks like, so I hope that I can get a lot of responses. I wonder if other people ever have to make the decision of selling their parent’s home, especially if they are an only child???????? Somedays I just want to be over the house, and other days I just want to keep it, WHAT A HARD DECISION TO MAKE! This week I am thinking about renting it out, but I don’t feel like taking out the furniture…..DECISIONS, DECISIONS!

Where Have I Been????????
Ok, so I have been missing! So much has been going on, let me try to give an update:
Foundation: So we had a break-in, and that was major drama! Who would have ever thought that a lock smith would be almost $400.00. Due to the fact the keys were left in the house, I had to change all the locks and that cost me about $300.00..I am so in the wrong profession. We are getting ready for our Youth Art sExpo, which I wanted to cancel because my money is so funny, that it keeps me laughing. But because I know that a lot of the guest that are coming are really excited about it so we will keep it going. I think after this event, I feel like taking a break. Even with the invisable person helping me, there seems like there is way too MUCH work for me to do, so we may not do the talent show in August. I am now about to get a housesitter, but I am reluctant about getting someone I don't know. I am trying to find the right person, so that has been a journey.
Surgery: Thanks to my pain in the ass, insurance company I now have to complete two months of weight loss counseling to show that I am trying ot get rid of the weight, I so don't want to be FAT, at my next birthday, so I think thatI am going to hit the gym as well. Just so that I can make sure thaat I am getting rid of the weight. If I don't get rid of it then I think that I might become a depress FAT cow. The film festival was a hit! And some of the actors that we had there were very nice! I also made a lot of new friends..Details to come! If anyone can tell me about a good attorney who works on probate that would be good. My attorney that I have now, is a total A__! Why is it that they never return telephone calls, after all the money that you spend in retainer fees.
Well, that is it for now, I promise to write more this entire week....
