Growing Up.

I have countless stories of growning up in a multi-cultural family in Nebraska in the 80's-00's. 

Here is where I'll share a little bit about my life and what growing up was like.

Being sick sucks.

April 15, 2018

My Mom always used to say that I was like my Grandma (her Mom), because I hated being sick. I found it to be a complete waste of time and very unproductive. Why lie around in bed, when there are so many other things I could be doing!?

Well, a recent diagnosis put me on a 5 day isolation from anything that I love doing in NYC. That meant my Dad's trip to NYC was cancelled and so were our tickets to "Kinky Boots" and "The Book of Mormon."

I found this childhood photo, where my parents had tucked me into bed and I wasn't having it. However, you have to enjoy all the great 80's toys in this photo: I'm wearing a Popples nightgown, in She-Ra bed sheets, with a Butterbear from "The Wuzzles" plush and a "Pillow Pal" (just like DJ Tanner had in "Full House") and a Starlite horse from "Rainbow Brite."

Even if I can't go outside, at least I can stare out my window at the sun and update my blog.
