Summer Is Here!

May 31, 09:11 AM

It's literally 100 degrees at my house today.  Can plants get sunburned?  I think mine are.  Kyle (Phillip) and I have been discussing home-ownership lately.  He just bought a house and is fixing it up.  It gets so hot where I live that I have a few really sun-loving plants on my deck.  The Jasmine is doing well, and it smells so nice as I walk by.  I don't really have a green thumb or anything, but Dave (my husband) and I love to enjoy the evenings outside.  Dave is an excellent BBQ-er (such a guy thing, right?!) and we love to have our friends over for a good BBQ and enjoy the sunset on our deck. 

Last weekend Kyle hosted a kick-butt house-warming party at his house.  He passed out a flyer at work - Kylepalooza was a hit.  The stories from Kyle's all-night, frat-style party are slowly piling in.  People we don't even know, who work at NBC, were approaching Kyle about it.  Too funny.  Dave and I went early because, and could only stay for a little bit.  My little brother's first professional gig as a cellist in a symphony was the same night.  My whole family turned out to listen to his debut performance.  He was awesome.

I don't know about your work, but at Days, the studios can always be counted on to be the exact opposite of the temperature outside.  When it's hot, like now, it's a meat-locker inside the studios.  All the actresses are wearing robes in between scenes to keep warm on stage.  It's hilarious.  Sometimes in party scenes, we'll even have Ugg boots or slippers on under the dresses.  Richard Bloore, the costume designer, made bunny slippers for Sami last year, and I asked if I could keep them in my dressing room, and now I wear them to set all the time.  I recently had scenes with Ari (Nicole) and we were both laughing because even while I'm in my tallest heels, she was still taller than me in her slippers. Not fair! 

Who's excited for the Days Fan weekend coming up??  My favorite event is Jim Reynold's (Abe) Basketball game.  It's on Sunday at 2pm.  I hope everyone who can come will come to Jim's game.  It's for a good charity too. 

And, yes, I've downloaded the desktop count-down to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  The question is, have I caved and tried to look for spoilers on the storylines???  NO!!  (and if I had, I wouldn't tell you!)

xxoo,
Ali

Marisa (10:37 AM)

Hey Ali! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that loves Jasmine! I have a bush in my yard and I LOVE the smell! The sweet smell puts a smile on my face everytime I walk pass it!

Kyle really sounds like a fun guy to be around! Glad ya'll have such a great time!

Hugs, Bay

I can't wait for Harry Potter either! For once, I haven't looked for spoilers either. I've been good. Now dool is a different story . . . ;) We've been spending a lot of time outdoors and grilling here too. Summer's here!
(I sympathize with the work 'weather' I have the SAME problem. It's 95 outside today and I had a coat on inside!)

Amanda (04:43 PM)

Ali you are such a kidder, but you know what...? That is why we love yah!

You and those adorable bunny slippers, if we all had a costume designer like Richard, we'd be in business.

Keep up the great work and congrats to your brother from all of us.

PS
Marisa was right, you looked absolutely stunning at the AWARDS show. But when don't you.!!

I understand what you are talking about as far as temperature at work. I'm freezing right now as I type. It's almost 11am here in South Carolina with temperatures on the outside in the 80's. It will be almost 90 by the time I get off of work at 4:30pm..My staff are complaining to me about how cold it is inside. I can't do anything about the building temp..

Glad your brother did well.

Rhonda (07:40 AM)

It must be great to have amazing weather year round. A few weeks ago it was pretty warm here, and I went to a Cubs game wearing only a sweatshirt. When I got to the game, the temp had dropped to 35 degrees and I was freezing my buns off, to make things worse they lost the game too. But hey that's Chicago for ya, just a few weeks later and its 92 here and I'm lovin' it. Glad to hear your brother did well. Thanks for posting it's great to hear about your life.

Lisa (05:35 PM)

Cari (06:38 PM)
