Hooray for Hollywood !!!

Well, I took a day off from blogging because I had to go to a seminar. More on that later. First, here is a picture of the set of my little PR piece for the hospital. Our company president will be using the footage in one of his webinars about patient safety.

This is an actual ICU bed. My part was done with an ICU RN, Tim. We stood at the bedside and delivered our message. I had two speaking parts and he had one. The lights were extremely bright.

Here's the cameraman, another Tim.

 

 

The webinar will be out in the next week or so. You can be sure that I will be keeping you updated!!

Our seminar was held at the Pacific Palms Resort in the City of Industry, which is east of Los Angeles. It's a nice resort with a spa and golf course.

And guess what? They were filming a TV show for VH1 called Hit The Floor. Here are the crew trucks in the Base Camp.

 

 

They unloaded gear all day long. We were there for 6.5 hours, and they were not even close to being set up. They were trying to convert the lobby into a casino. Here's some of the gear piled up outside the door.

Now compare their camera with the one that Tim used.

It's on the boom there. It was about 100 times bigger. One thing about Pacific Palms - the food is awesome. Here's my lunch.

 

 

I had Caesar salad, roasted veggies, pasta and artichoke salad, and cioppino with mussels, shrimp and scallops. I also had a couple of cake bites for dessert.  It was yummy.

After work, I took our Principessa for her beauty appointment.

You follow the blue paw prints.

Elli did a bit of browsing and sniffing before it was her turn.

She wore her new dress. Then she entered the portals of doom.

I could hear her squeaking and yowling and giving the nice lady a really hard time. But her manicure turned out perfectly.

So onto today. What am I wearing?

 This is my old favorite Cache jacket. It's green tweed with a black organza overlay.

 

 

 

Underneath, I wore green INC slacks, a gold lurex Henley, and a printed top.

Note Elli's portrait hanging proudly in my office. With this top, I wore my weird green resin necklace.

 

 

I had originally wanted to wear my black high heeled booties, but I made a game day substitution for my olive green wedge booties.

On my left arm, a green enamel cuff and my Irish Claddagh wedding ring.

On my right arm, my creepy green ring from Nordstrom and two Honu bangles that I got at the Aloha Bowl swap meet on Oahu.

Last but not least. Every now and then, my brain needs a tune up. And how do I do that? Well, in HB, there is a scrabble club that meets every Tuesday at the IHOP on Beach Blvd, between Ellis and Garfield. They hold two sessions - 1 PM and 6PM. Each lasts about 3 hours, and 4 games are played. It's free, and so are sodas and coffee. They have a website, www.scrabbleclub34.wordpress.com if you want to see what goes on. If you or anybody you know lives near HB and wants to give it a try, by all means check it out. Here's the director, David, playing a game.

There are players of all levels here, from novice to expert, and David will pair you with someone of similar ability, so you will have lots of fun and stretch out your brain.
