I have so many interests, but I've narrowed things down considerably. I am most focused on writing and making films--two dreams that are finally coming full circle. But also I'm into...
The sound that rain makes as it washes over the forest outside my window; those little dimples on your face that become larger when you smile (they melt me down, they really do!); a fresh coat of lip gloss; the first sip of hot coffee (no sugar, just cream); the lines around my eyes that are faint but forming into deeper burrows and I'm okay with that; driving with my windows open in the rain; something so funny it makes me snort as I laugh; really tiny life forms like kittens and baby ferrets; hugs from people I know and love; the joy of a first kiss; the sorrow of a last goodbye.

Movies
Handcrafted videos, made by my one of my best friends, Rich Steiber.
I worked on this film!!! Most of the clothes you see were found by yours truly!!! Corey was sweet and so was Keith Coogan. We razzed Coogan regularly with "The dishes are done, man!" and he never broke. Got to love guilty pleasures--don't watch this movie if you want quality. It's not Haim or Coogan's best work (or mine, for that matter--my ex-husband forced me to quit mid-filming!).

Writer, socialite, filmmaker, events producer and friend to many--that's an easy summary of me. But there is more to the story...
Moved to Maryland after a brief stint in New Jersey. I'm originally from Utah. I promptly left at the age of 18 to see a life that involved catching my dreams. Now I find my dreams are finally catching up to me!
The list of great things in my life is too long to write here. I am simply grateful for all I've accomplished and what is yet to be.
Life the life you love, want the life you live. Enjoy it while its there because life is excruciatingly short.
Hey! So good to hear from ya :) Yes, it was wonderful for a while there, but I am just so ready to give birth just so I can at least get into a good sleeping position, and my bladder stops hurting, etc. I've missed you and can't wait to step out with you again.
No no, not incommunicado Kat, that would be against my horoscopic nature, Im rather settling here in Takoma park Maryland and getting ready for a new arrival, a baby boy due in Sept!! WOAH! I would still love to go out sometime but it takes longer planning lately, a few days notice! Love, Johnny
Oh Kitty Kat, it's so nice to see you all a-glow and "simmery." May it last and last! See you soon, me hopes. Oh! -- Sunday, right?! Say you'll be there mama.
P.S. The Greek festival will be here next week! It is a really wonderful festival with food from the Gods. I think I'll be going Friday. Bring your Greek! mwa.
Oh yeah, I'm flying high with them...but I remember messaging you a few times letting you know about my new man and being pregnant, but I never heard from you. So whats been going on...tell me about you! :)
Hi Lady Lips. I had a blast at your party, and I must say I'm rather proud I could move the day after. Good genes, I guess. ;) Thanks for the compliments! Soon, C.
What kind of Moirsturizer do you use? Its so hard to find good stuff that actually works...LOL and I went on that website and put my face on a magazine...that is so cute.
