Day 230 - Thriller anyone?
Here’s my mellow spin on MJ’s classic “Thriller” - Performed live w/Chris Reba and Glenn Stevens at the Google+ Halloween Hangout Show Oct. 2011
Days 179-229 - Oh Snap.
Um…can you say neglect? Yeah, I haven’t posted in almost 2 months. I wish I could say that is was because all of my dreams have come true and I’m too busy recording songs, meeting my musical idols, touring etc…but nope, that’s not why.
I’ve just been too damn busy. So, here’s a recap of what I’ve been up to:
I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time on my new obsession Google+. Facebook has been replaced in my world by the magic of Google+. People are supportive, interested, engaging and fun over at G+ and I LOVE it. I have been hosting a weekly Open Mic Hangout on Thursdays at 8:00 pm. We’ve had people from all over the world join us to play music. It’s incredible to have been the first to host a GLOBAL open mic. In addition to the open mics, I’ve also been a musical guest on a few other hangout “shows” and I’ve had a blast doing it! Here are some pics I’ve taken over the past 2 months-
Here’s my little basement studio where I host my Open Mic Hangout:
Here’s a screenshot from one of the shows on which I was a musical guest…
My daughter playing her guitar along with me during one my shows…
I’ve also been sending out a bunch of CD’s to people around the world and watching my fan base grow:
And writing new songs for my next album:
And spending Autumn Days with the family:
And making the best of freak October snowstorms:
Even though I’m no closer to my musical dream, it’s been a good couple of months..
Brand new song I wrote called “Autumn’s Chill”

Days 165-177
Had a job interview…there’s something I haven’t done in a REALLY long time. I think it went well but who knows. Now, I just play the waiting game. Not really sure I’m ready to rejoin the workforce to be honest. I’ve been putting together a pro/con list for the past several days…yup, that’s how I do things. No major decision is made without the pro/con list.
In other news, I’ve been wanting to find time to record the new song I wrote. I finally found that time and will be posting the video after this post.
Days 159 - 164

It was a good week.
Days 157 & 158 - My New…
RED SHOES! I decided I wanted red shoes for Fall. It took me 2 days of hunting to find these babies but it was worth it! My feet are officially in LOVE.
Days 139-156 Earthquakes & Hurricanes
This has been a bazaar couple of weeks. First there was an earthquake on the East Coast. I lived in LA for many years, I didn’t even feel it but…still, an earthquake felt that strongly on the East Coast? CRAZY.
And then there was Hurricane Irene. What can I say? She was a bitch. Big time. Even though she was here for only 1 day, her wrath lasted much longer. Before the storm, I was a MESS. I was glued to the news and rode the wave of panic the whole way! I stockpiled water and non-perishables and flashlights and batteries. I cooked, I cleaned, I battened down the hatches! I WAS hurricane Heather! (my poor husband) Yes, I am a bit of a control freak. I am an OVER-preparer. Given my wonky childhood, this “survival skill” has served me well. So leading up to Irene I was crazy, during Irene I was terrified (although I acted super calm for my kids - yay me!) and after Irene I was…well, exhausted. We actually weathered the storm fine. We didn’t even lose power. So all that worry and panic for nothing. You’d think I’d learn a lesson…but I probably won’t.
