Heading South for Some SUN!

Snow.  Wind.  Rain.  Hail.  Sleet.  Fog.  Ahhhh, yes; spring in Wisconsin.  After enduring a long (looooooong) winter, I am more than ready for warm weather and sun.  On Tuesday at about 11:00 a.m. I will be flying to Florida for a few relaxing days with my best friend.  I can literally hear the beach calling my name.  On Saturday, my husband, daughter, and parents will fly down and meet up with me to go on a 7 day Caribbean cruise.  We'll sail to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Isla Roatan (Honduras) and Belize.  I can't wait! 

I will return home on May 8th.  If spring has not yet sprung, I'm going back to Florida.

Lights, Camera, Action!

My fifteen minutes of fame is here!  I shot my very first video today - actually four videos - for healthcentral.com.  All four videos deal with different aspects of insomnia - medications, side effects, and problems associated with sleep disorders.  The production manager, Spencer, was very friendly and super helpful.  He put me at ease right away and allowed me to do as many takes as necessary (and there were many).  I can't wait to see the finished product!  Updates coming soon...
