1. I love industrious men with a plan and a sense of humor.

2. In radio, I had more than my 15 minutes of fame.  It really is overrated.

3. I’m trying to think of something I can no longer do because of my advancing age.  For instance, I can no longer……I’ll get back to you on that one.

4. I have to do a self-portrait in my photography class.  It has to be a picture that shows who I am or what I love.  Ideas are brewing, photo to come.

5. Meanwhile, I’m loving getting out and shooting my town.

6. 2012 taxes are done. And yes, I’m smiling.

7. Getting ready for Ventura Music Week June 7th through the 16th.  I’m taking the whole week off from City.  Should be a blast!

8.  Starting when Sydney Rose was a baby up until she was around eight or nine years old, she would reach up to my face and rub one of my cheeks.  Somehow it comforted her.  She did this the other day quite unexpectedly.  I just about melted.

9. From my “Favorite Facebook Posts File”:   “My neighbor listens to good music, whether it likes it or not.”

VenturaRocks.com 4th Anniversary Party

1. Spring has sprung.  Life is incredibly good.

2. I love participating in parades, especially in a small town like Ventura.  It’s so corny, you just have to embrace it! The look on the children’s faces makes being goofy so worthwhile.

3. It fascinates me how loud women get when there are more than four at  a table.  I also find that the volume increases exponentially by the number of drinks ordered.

4. I love a good book.  I love a good movie.  I love a good song.  But most of all, I love a good friend.

5. Sydney Rose said the funniest thing the other day when I mentioned that she gets her assertiveness from me.  She totally agreed and then pondered out loud wondering what she got from her dad.  Not missing a beat, we both said at the same time, “Flakiness.”  To which we had a good laugh!

6. I want you to succeed.  How can I help?

7. From my Favorite Facebook Quotes file:  “I’m a non-violent person until I see I see a spider.  Then I turn into Al Capone, and “I want him DEAD!  I want his family DEAD!  I want his house burned to the GROUND!”    Yeah, that’s me.

8. My friend reminded me recently, “In no way are you ever responsible for another’s bad behavior.”  That may be true my dear friend, but we can hold them accountable for it. And more than that, we can shame them and let them know we won’t stand for it.

VenturaRocks.com just celebrated our 4-year anniversary on Sunday.  I selected a few of the photos to share in the montage I posted. I want to  thank my BUSINESS partner Eve for all her hard work. If you get a chance, please read my annual State-of-the-Ventura-Rocks-Website address:

1. Choosing your friends wisely is only half the process. The other half is creating those relationships.  It doesn’t happen by itself.

2.  Just because you trust someone unfortunately doesn’t mean they are trustworthy.

3.  Taking a compliment is really hard!  Why is that?

4.  Sydney Rose’s driving is improving; however, consider it a public service announcement that she still hasn’t passed her driver’s test.

5.  This is by far my favorite semester of college.  Everything I’m learning is useful!  Hmmmm. Learning for the sake of acquired facts and to get a grade, is no where near as satisfying as being able to actually apply new knowledge and get results.

6.  Ventura really does Rock!  I love how our community rallies around special causes.

7.  Playing it safe may be sound, but I finally realized a couple of years ago that life is so much more fun when you take chances, and you have to actually be willing to lose sometimes; because if you don’t take  chances, you’ll never win.

8.  Girl’s Dress Night Out could actually catch on.  “She’s got legs, she knows how to use them.”

9.  I was unfriended this week. That kind of stung!  See #1 and #7.

10. Thank God I’m basically a happy person!
