Where no one has gone before...
...with the exception of 2004...

Our 2nd week on the job here in LA, Dave and I were asked if we wanted to go to Las Vegas and do the Zero Gravity flight with Buzz Aldrin. We were all hmm, i don't know, maybe we should just stay at home in LA without any furniture, television or internet instead...We didn't have to think about that one long! What a treat to meet one of the first men on the moon.

This was not our first Zero G flight. We first boarded G-Force One in 2004 in Ft. Lauderdale. I believe I blogged about it too, so sorry for the re-run!

I wasn't actually on board the flight this time. They have zero gravity trained photogs. I'm glad I was able to experience it in '04 or I would have been one disappointed photog! You may be shocked to hear (and if you are, you don't regularly read this blog) I'm a bit of a space geek. :)

In fact... one of our most outlandish goals in life is to make it into space. Originally, I was shooting for the moon, but y'know, I think I would be satisfied with the curvature of the Earth. For now, this is as close as you can get to that experience.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! LOVE YOU MOM!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARTMAN!



Hartman is 10 years old this month! Since I don't know the exact date of her birth-- we celebrate her birthday EVERY day in May!

My niece, Cydney, bought Hartman a present with her own money. Her Mom, Pam, asked her who her best friend in the world was-- she answered "Hartman!" Isn't that sweet! :)

Hartman unwraps her gift!

It's a Play-n-Squeak Bumblebee! Now I have to tell you... Hartman is one picky kitty. I bought her a kitty condo once--- she hated it. But she LOVED the box it came in! She usually sticks her nose up at anything that is not a milk ring or twisty tie...

Oh, but wait--

Could it be????---

She LOVES her little bumblebee!

Thanks Cydney!


In other news, Rue McClanahan is my first LA celebrity interview! She's quite witty and very friendly. It was a fun chance to break out some of the toys in my light kit for the interview. BREAKING NEWS:


We interupt this blog to bring you this important announcement: Cydney and Hartman have just been hired to anchor the evening news. :)

Well I'm going to go buy a new couch now. We donated our old couch--dubbed the 'most uncomfortable couch---ever' by, well, pretty much everybody who ever sat on it. My sister-in-law Amy actually says the couch 'hurt her eyes' to look at. I can't seem to find a good picture of it quickly enough. I've gotto go to Ikea! (so excited to live in a city with an Ikea again!)
