About Me

Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

P won an Emmy!!!


This past weekend was one of the most proudest moments of my life. My husband, won his first daytime Emmy! I was so proud. He won for Oustanding Animatied Children's Series. He is a coordinating producer. It was a very exciting weekend. We also had a great time together. It was really nice to have a weekend to spend together alone. We went to dinner & saw Movin' Out on Broadway. Then Saturday we took the subway down to the Staten Island Ferry and rode it across and saw the statue of liberty. It was a gorgeous day.

As for me, I have been having a really tough time with my Parkinson's. I am so stiff on my right side and it gets painful at times. On top of all this, my sleep apnea still goes untreated. I am so frustrated with this process. It's been four months since my first sleep study. I should have this resolved by now but I am still waiting. I am so exhausted all the time now. It's really hard to enjoy life when you are so tired. I just want it to be better and it is completely out of my control to fix it.

Well, that's it for now. Toodles!
