(OMG my dogs look miserable and this was the best pic!, btw, trey isn’t fat, that is a fuzzy beard attached to his hat)
To say I’ve been busy is an understatement. The holidays were sort of nothing but work work work and more work. Saturday the 22nd we had our work party and ironically, that wasn’t any work at all, it was a Blast! We a DJ and a beautiful dinner and open bar (the drinkers all had designated drivers or cabs) and we played the money wheel game and gave away thousands of dollars to our employees and their significant others. We also had an ugly Christmas sweater contest, Laura won with her Mrs. Santa with a secret under her skirt – a big cock that is! She won the $100 prize. Next year I think we’ll have more participants knowing there is a cash prize. I had so much I can barely remember the details : )
  
The day after the work party was my husband’s extended family’s party with 9 children all under the age of 10. We brought gifts for all of them and did an exchange gift game between the men and then between the women. Fun but exhausting having 2 parties in a row.
The next day was Christmas eve and I drove my baby down to Carlsbad for his radiation treatment. I then drove home in tons of traffic, finished wrapping gifts, handed out gifts to my neighbors and got dressed up and went to dinner in Seal Beach and had another gift exchange party afterwards with Ryan’s parent’s best friends and Ryan’s cousin’s family. Then drove home late only to find my 2 parakeets dead. Lovely evening…
I stayed up wrapping and packing and burying and finally went to bed around 2AM. I then awoke to get my sister who had been staying with me since the 22nd to doggy sit while I was painting the town red all those evenings. I got her packed into my truck along with her dog and sent them down to Carlsbad to visit my niece and be there with her and her son while he opened up his gifts. This was his 2nd Christmas but last year he was just an infant. So much more fun when they can open their own gifts!
I then finished packing my husband up to go to his parents and packed myself and Trey and Tommy and headed down to Carlsbad for Trey’s radiation appointment, yes, I know, can you believe they were open on Christmas day? I took Tommy and checked into our beachfront hotel and met up with my sister and Tommy’s brother Beau and took the hounds for a walk along the beach. Absolutely beautiful sunset. I then left to pick up Trey and settled all 3 dogs in for the evening and drove about 15 minutes over to see my niece and meet up with my other sister. So it was the 3 yayas as we call ourselves for Christmas evening. We all 3 went back to our hotel and chilled out with some wine and some relax time.
I then awoke and packed and took Trey for radiation and then me and my sister Cheryl met with our future business partner on a new venture I am doing. As if I have time : O
The meeting went well, we packed up and I got Trey and headed home. It is all a bit of a blur after that. I finished up Trey’s last radiation appointment on Friday the 29th. All I know is that I haven’t stopped and I ended up getting sick. It was sort of expected. I spent the weekend sick but I really didn’t slow down. I had Ryan’s parents over on the 31st and then after they left I did a shoot for kellymadison.com. Hey, the show must go on. I’m going to take it easy this weekend and just spend it taking care of Trey. His radiation burn is huge and oozing. My flu is raging and I need to just take one day at a time right now.
Happy New Year to you all and wish you all the best. Stay healthy in this nasty flu season and please pray for my baby Trey and that is cancer is gone. He got the cutest bandana on his graduation day that says “Hug me, I’m a cancer survivor”. It made me cry.

I had to drive out to Vegas for a meeting and then drive back home that same day. Wow what a day. It all started on Sunday when I went to bed at midnight after taking the dogs to the vet for mani pedis and anal gland expression, I know, yuck! Then I got ready and did my hair and makeup and did a kellymadison.com shoot which goes up next week. We used the GoPro camera in the kitchen, kinda funny, and kinda kinky. Then I finished up and made dinner and worked on the computer and then fell asleep only be awoken by a nagging alarm at 4:30 AM! I got up and got half-assed ready and got on the road and was in Vegas by 8:45 AM and then was at my meeting by 9:30. I went and visited my sister at her new job afterward and brought her co-workers a berry pie from Coco’s. Gotta win over the peeps. Then I crashed for a few hours at her house and then got back on the road home and arrived at 10:45 PM. I really haven’t stopped since. Yesterday and today was a crazy too and now I just want to go to bed after walking my dogs and taking out the trash but Noooo, I have to now get my ass on my elliptical and work out. Fuck me.
We are leaving to go to Mammoth and whenever we go somewhere it is like hell trying to get everything done. It seems as though the Universe is always working against us when we want to go on vacation. Actually, it isn’t a total vacation since I am shooting a few scenes while we are gone but it will be a vacation for the dogs. Then again, what day isn’t a vacation for these damn dogs. Seriously, when I die I am coming back as a dog with an owner like me. With that said, I’m going to go and kill myself on the elliptical, it was nice knowing you…

Life has been very interesting in July. It began with my dog having surgery and then complications arose. I spent all 4th of July by his side only to take him in that night to be be re-opened and sewed back up again. He is really mad at me and now with the antibiotics he doesn’t like to eat his food or any other food I try to give him, look how pissed he is with his ears back…
Then there are all the schedule changes that have had to be made in order for me to take care of the big guy. Shoots got cancelled and re-scheduled and every plan I tried to make got moved around. My sisters came out for my niece’s son’s Birthday which had to be cancelled due to him getting foot and mouth disease, yuck. Then they stayed with me all weekend and I entertained them which threw me off as well.
Good news is everything is working out really well with the new girl, Carissa. She does unbelievably good hair plus has great style and is such a hard worker and a nice person and very pretty. Did I mention she was pretty? We have been shopping and putting together some stuff for some cool vintage pinup style shoots not only for my site but for pornfidelity too. Can’t wait to show you guys.
I am also very much enjoying my girl Cathy back at work after a year away. It is nice to have help again with the houses, the pets and the sets and stuff. Not easy cleaning 2 houses with a combination of 9,000 square feet and over 2 acres by yourself! We have been cleaning like crazy not to mention washing 3 dog blankets a day, every day. God damn high maintenance dog!
We also hired a new guy to assist with editing. It is always fun having new people around. I really like our new group dynamics we have here at the company.
Speaking of the company, I am going up to LA today to meet with my accountant. Fun fun fun. Actually, it is fun and I really adore my accountant, David Beider. He puts up with all my craziness and keep my corporation in check.
Oh yeah, the birthday for the previously ill one year old was re-scheduled and we had a blast this past Saturday. The sisters came back out from Vegas and everyone was healthy and happy. Everyone I know or related to had a birthday in June and July. I am sort of birthdayed out. Oh shit, the new guy’s birthday is the end of the month. Geez, it is never going to end. Seriously, 10 birthdays in row? Come on…
I shot a scene for my site on Sunday and I have lots of shoots to do this week to catch up. The dog is better, all the birthdays are over, well, almost over and it is time to get these titties back to work.

OK, I just got through the busiest Christmas of my life. My body is screaming at me and my nerves are shot. My floors (3 day job to fix my marble floors) were finished on the afternoon of the 23rd so we moved the furniture back in and had a Christmas tree delivered and I decorated it as fast as humanly possible, decorated the entire house, set up formal table settings for 11, set up serving ware and chaffing dishes for salmon, baby back ribs, tri-tip roast, sweet mashed potatoes, regular mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy for the vegetarians and meat gravy for the cavemen, macaroni and cheese, Waldorf salad, tomato, cucumber and feta salad, garlic pesto rolls and 2 pies, a cake, and ten thousand cookies, caviar and champagne bar, wine table, cheese platter and a partridge in a pear tree. Meanwhile, the sisters, husbands and pooches stayed at the work house which had a fully stocked frig, heated pool and spa, Christmas decorations galore inside and outside and new bedding. I think I can open up a bed and breakfast now – NOT. I am so done. The party went well and the rest of the house pests left last night. I had to practically kick them out. Ryan let me sleep for 11 hours and now I have so much work to do since I abandoned my business for the last 2 weeks.
Thank you everyone for your beautiful emails and messages of kindness. I did read them ALL. I just didn’t have time yet to respond, I sincerely apologize for that. My main focus now is only my business and my doggies so I should feel a sense of normality come upon me soon, at least that’s what I’m praying for…

Which is it? I love the holidays but my schedule is kicking my ass. I have family coming to stay with me and by the time I purchase new linens and move beds and hire cleaners and helpers to decorate I figure it is way cheaper to put them up at 5 star hotel!
Like I said, heaven spending the holidays with them or hell trying to prepare?!!! I have my two sisters and husbands and their 2 dogs staying at the work house and my niece, her husband and her new baby staying at my home. I am also having a Christmas dinner at my house and I’ll be gone doing other various Ryan birthday and holiday events on Sunday, Thursday and Friday night, not to mention gone Christmas morning over at the in-laws that live an hour away. How am I ever going to pull this off? Plus I’m still down 2 employees that used to help me out with personal things as well and I just haven’t gotten off my butt to hire a new assistant. I don’t do change well :O
Hope your holidays are less hectic. I like being busy but I think I’ve taken on too much this time. As if I can afford any more gray hairs or wrinkles people.
By the way, new photo/video update went up on my site on Thursday called “The Magic Box”. Indeed it is a double entendre 🙂
Oh yeah, my dog Trey kept me up all night hacking and coughing. I may have to take him to the vet today to rule out another case of pneumonia. It better not be, I have been so careful hand feeding him and elevating his water dish since his larynx surgery.

No, seriously I’m not just a fantastic aunt but a great aunt. My niece just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He is the first boy in my family of 3 sisters. We haven’t had a baby in the family since my niece was born 30 years ago. I went down to the hospital to see him. I loved holding him in my arms. I almost thought for a quick second about having one and then I saw my niece attempting to breast feed and then reality hit me upside the head. There is no way I could get pregnant! My breasts would be enormous. Sorry guys, no milk for you…

OK, it isn’t a transplant but it is a scary eye mask and a stick-on mustache. This is what I wore during a “Change the baby diaper” game at my niece’s baby shower that me and my 2 sisters threw for her on Sunday at my sister Judi’s house in Las Vegas. I haven’t changed a diaper since she was a baby and now she is 30! I did pretty bad, I definitely didn’t win. I think I gave the fake baby whiplash actually.

Happy Monday everyone. I had a very busy weekend. I shot on Saturday (an exercise themed video)  and cleaned the office garage and make-up room. Looks clean enough to fuck in! We did some gardening work on Friday which was just in time before the rain started and by Sunday all I wanted was to sleep in and spend all day on the couch with my heating pad, my big comfy pillow, my down comforter and my doggies and don’t forget the tv remote in hand but we had plans to visit Ryan’s parents. Hey, at least I got a free meal out of the deal 🙂 but seriously I love them and it has been a while since we spent time with parents.
Almost forgot to tell you about last Monday. So Ryan and I load up all 3 dogs, some red wine, Ritz crackers and cheese (my dad’s favorite) and a couple of Hershey candy bars and off we went to the cemetery. There are no dogs allowed on the gravestones which is totally understandable and we got there around 4:00 PM. The day was perfect, there was a cool breeze and it was warm and the sun was out. We rolled down the windows slightly and left the doggies in the car. Ryan and I were enjoying a glass of wine, nibbling on the fare and then waalaa. A short legged orange dog came running towards us. He escaped out the back window. Bad dog. I put Tommy back in and closed the back hatch window and a few minutes later he came running over to us again. He squeezed his weasel body out of the side window which was only cracked maybe 5 inches. Security came by and reprimanded us and I promptly put Tommy back but this time I tied his leash to the back wheel. Guess what happened then? Yep, he chewed himself free and came running over but this time he knew he was a bad dog and sort of crawled on his belly on the grass as he got closer to my angry gaze. What am I going to do with this rescue dog? My other 2 dogs are perfect. They stayed in the car the entire time. I couldn’t spot the security vehicle so I said to myself “What the hell” and let them all run free. Trey my lab promptly took a giant shit right on a gravestone, Kaylee romped around like a mad dog and it took me 30 minutes to wrangle up Tommy to put him back in the car so we could leave. That day, I wished I was dead!

Today is my father’s birthday. If he were still alive he would be 101 years old. I am taking the dogs out to his grave site like I do each year. This year I am introducing Tommy to my Dad. In this photo Tommy is being a bad dog and refused to come down off my hill. I gave him a bully stick that he has sticking out of his mouth. For those of you that don’t know, a bully stick is a bull penis. Yummy. It looks like a big fat cuban cigar hanging out of his mouth, actually.

I barely made it through the holidays. We shot on Wednesday and Thursday and then went to a family party Thursday night with a million kids, OK it was only 8 but it sounded and felt like a million and one of the little virus infested creatures gave me a cold. I woke up super early on Friday and I wasn’t feeling hot but I had a dinner to put on so I shopped for food and finished wrapping gifts and then got on the road with the Escalade filled to the brim with presents and my two dogs and me and my husband’s luggage and oh yeah, that damn virus rode along quite happily in my lungs. Christmas Eve we went to Seal Beach with friends and family and then spent the night at my in-law’s. We woke up and opened up tons of gifts and then promptly loaded the Escalade back up along with the dogs and oh yeah, that virus was with me for the ride home. I then had to finish setting the table and got the food ready for my Christmas Dinner. The in-law’s and sister in law then spent the night with us so the guest rooms and bathrooms had to be all set up. The day after Christmas we had a big breakfast and then after cleaning that up I made lunch while watching football and then we all crashed on the couch to watch a movie. By the end of the night of the 26th I thought I was going to pass out. Me, Niquil, and my buddy virus went to bed. I didn’t wake up until noon today. Bah humbug. Actually, I am feeling a little better and even though I was sick, my Christmas went very well. The best thing was even though I was running around like crazy I would periodically check my email and so many of you out there sent me the kindest messages and wishes. You are the ones that put a smile on my face and made me appreciate the holiday 🙂
