The Tuesday before Thanksgiving I fractured a tooth and have been in pain and can't eat. I also can't get a dentist to fix it over the holiday so I'm limping through the days until I can see the dentist. Thank God Vince is taking excellent care of me and this guy lightens my mood no matter what. I love my boys.
We did a quick weekend get-away to visit with Mom in Solvang for the afternoon and then an overnight stay at Lorie and Gug's house in Santa Barbara. Amazingly fun time jammed in to a little over 24 hours.
A pram full of Bully puppies. Cuteness factor overload!!
We met the newest addition to their family - 12 week old Aja - a mini Aussie. What a darling little thing. We're in love.
I knew this day would come...that moment when you realize that the little baby you were holding in your arms a few years ago is now taller than you. Where the hell does time go?
We enjoyed our walk today. All the decorations make it so fun to stroll around.
Did a remote record with Matt Woods from NYC. His demo came out soooooo goood.
Matt Wood's DEMO on Soundcloud
Can't wait to hear this one all finished...we had a blast recording it.
We branched out and left our hood for West Hollywood's AOC. Delicious food and Magnolia Bakery is just down the block. Food heaven...
...your friend doesn't answer his phone and he was supposed to have breakfast with us. We all know that he hates being chained to his cel phone but when we couldn't get ahold of Rick when it was time to go to breakfast the worst scenarios start going through my head so after breakfast we decided to go to Rick's home and do a Wellness Check.
When we pulled up there was a fire truck and ambulance outside. My heart sunk. I tried calling Rick but there wasn't an answer. I tried calling the manager to ask if they'd let me in the building but I got their answering machine. I was getting scared. I asked one of the firemen - "did you take a man out of this building?" Luckily the fire fighter said, "no, we're just doing a mock situation for practice." Whew! I was happy to hear that. Then I said that I was trying to do a wellness check on a friend and I couldn't get in touch with him or the manager." The fire fighter says, "I'll help you" and proceeded to climb over the fence of the building and let me in. Be still my heart! A gorgeous fire fighter helped me!!!
I got in to the apartment building and knocked on Rick's door. I heard faint music but no answer so the second time I pounded on the door and yelled, "Rick, it's Donna!" Thank God Rick answered the door. "Dude, where have you been, we were supposed to have breakfast this morning and you didn't answer our texts and calls." "Oh, I turned my phone off yesterday and forgot to put it back on." "Holy shit, I thought something happened to you!"
We went downstairs and met with Vince and Mark. The ambulance was still there so we took a selfie. You can see by my smile that I was damn happy that Ricky was alive and well.
Another fun day at the studio. This time recording Kristen Paul's Animation Demo.
Topaz is so big that I think he makes me look small. Ha!
Love spending hot summer days in the studio. You forget it's a million degrees out when you're recording demos.
