I'm not going to lie to you. Today was a complete and total failure. And I hate myself for it.I completely botched my audition. And it wasn't just any audition--it was an audition that could have 'put me on the map'. I always do this to myself--self sabotage, self doubt--which is the kiss of death for any actor.After driving over two hours, I show up nearly an hour and fifteen minutes early at

Well, it's almost time for the BRIFT Showcase. Been rehearsing my scene for a while now with my wonderful co-classmate/co-actor/co-BRIFTie, Michael Vadnal. We've worked hard on it and are excited about finally presenting our scene.Our scene is called "Chocolate" by Frederick Stoppel. It's a comical bit, where he plays an aloof detective, and I play a murderous wife. Comedy ensues. It's a class

My 39th birthday was the best birthday ever! Well, actually, it would have been perfect if my mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law could have been there. Other than that, it was pitch-perfect!My husband and friends threw me the most wonderful surprise party (I never knew I could be surprised!). We ate pizza and cake, socialized, and played games. And I even opened presents--among which was a

It's so hard to believe that I've been on this earth for nearly 39 years. With my birthday coming up tomorrow, I am reminded of just how lucky I've been. It truly is a wonderful life--complete with the most important part of all--good family and friends. Without those two elements, life would be absolutely unbearable!My birthday wish for this year? I just want to be able to stay afloat

Hi gang. It's been a while. Too long. But I've been busy with things. Life. In between those busy times, I've been scouting out new blogs, websites, and inspiration. Well, there's one particular website that is nothing but inspiring. It's called Pinterest.One of my favorite bloggers, Holly Becker, uses Pinterest and she posted a cool idea on her blog: post a photo of you in stripes and then

It really has been ages since the last time I blogged. Almost a year ago. Where does the time go?The year has been filled with ups and downs. The good news is that I found BRIFT. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing it has been finding such a wonderful place to act and to learn, plus all my great, new friends I call BRIFTies. But most of all, I am blessed to have Mr. Burt Reynolds as my

Where in the world have I been, you ask. Here. All the time. Just not posting until now...We faced tragedy in December, having to put our little furbaby Lulu to sleep. Her death was sudden and unexpected--a sudden onset of CHF. We tried to save her, but there was nothing we could do. With the advice of several vets, we decided it was best to let her pass on to Heaven to be with her big

Oh, wow. You know how I'm always poking around the Internet, checking out favorite blogs and finding new ones? Well, I happened to stumble on these blogs and thought I should share it with future brides-to-be.I was married almost six years ago (September 5, 2003). For those of you who don't know the story, Dan and I were married at St. Savior R.C. Church in Brooklyn, NY on September 5, 2003

Today, my sister and brother-in-law put their dog Walter to sleep. It was a painfully hard decision--one that Dan and I had to make almost a year ago with our little Libby--but we all know that Walter is better off now and is in Heaven with Libby.So, this is a post dedicated to the wonderful, amazing Walter. You will be missed!xo

Have you ever wanted help putting together a great look? Perhaps you're like me and don't know how to really put the final touches on an outfit? Well, don't fret!

You can't imagine the joy! The office is finally finished (well, for the most part, anyway). We did manage to organize it into an office/guest room (sans craft room), and I think it turned out pretty darn good.What do you think?

With my friend Lennie arriving in less than two weeks, I thought it best to start tackling the office to get it ready for her stay...No easy task, if you ask me. Why? Because the office is more or less our storage locker. Everything is in piles. Boxes are piled sky-high in the walk in closet. And there are papers strewn about as far as the eye can see. No, not a pretty sight!But, instead of

So, I hastily tore into the package and found one of the cutest amigurumis in the world! And it's modeled after my very own Lulu! Don't you just love handmade? That got me to thinking...maybe I should sell my amigurumis and PaperClay

Hello everyone!It's been eons since I've posted something here on Le Pontelumes. But today--after reading a few of my favorite decor and design blogs--I felt inspired to post some stuff I've been meaning to.

She even included a link where you can fake your own tilt-shift images!...And so, I did. Here's the result:Amazing, isn't it? And, it turns out someone made a film using tilt-shift, too (thank you to Jessica of How About Orange, for sharing!)

Dan and I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua today. What a great little movie! I absolutely loved it, and so did Dan. Of course, our pups gave it two paws up--each! If you haven't already seen it yet, do! It's a real feel good, fuzzy movie. I grinned the whole way through!

I have a couple of scars. My very first scar I can remember is the one by my eyebrow--a scar left by chickenpox. The next visible scar is on my left elbow. I got that one chasing a boy I liked in junior high school at a friend's birthday party. I really took a spill, and skinned up my elbow up pretty good. The boy never realized how much I liked him even after all that.My most recent--and

Happy belated Christmas 2008 and New Year 2009 everyone! It's so nice to be blogging again--I've missed it--and I'm finally feeling up to being social again. It's been a tough couple of months (that's an understatement), and I'll bet you're wondering, what's happened. Well, I'll tell you...On Christmas Eve morning, Dan went to the local walk in clinic for cold/flu-like symptoms. A few hours

>I haven't blogged in a while--and I have no good excuse for that. Have I been busy? Relatively. But, more than that, I've been stressed out about things (money, mostly). The economy is in sour shape and it's reflected in our eBay sales. We're getting by on PB & J, Top Ramen, and mac-n-cheese. I'm not complaining--I'm thankful I have a roof over my head and enough to eat--I'm just venting

Aside from a few new Anthropologie tops and an antique silver tray, I found this magnificent, French Provincial, king-sized headboard at Goodwill. I just had to have it. At $29, I could not walk away from it. No, not a chance!It just goes to show you that you CAN find high quality, amazing deals. A few of my favorite places to find bargains at are:Craigslist (hint: make sure you check 'image' and

My husband and I enjoyed having my sister visit us last week. Last Saturday, we went to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights (boooo!) and Sunday we went to Disney--Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios (yay!). As always, Disney ruled, but Universal, not so much. I mean, we enjoyed the Simpsons ride, but that's not enough to warrant going back again. The Halloween Horror

I am so excited! My sister Jen is coming to Florida to visit us and also to help out with the Obama campaign here in Florida (a tossup state!). While she's here, I'm hoping we can squeeze in Halloween Horror Nights in or maybe a Disney theme park or two. In any case, it's going to be awesome having her here! Now, here's the thing about Jen: Halloween is her favorite holiday! I'm sure she's

Halloween: one of my favorite holidays. Why? Well, it's probably the actor in me. It's a chance to play dress-up and enter the world of make-believe. But wait: maybe it's the candy factor. I mean, I do love chocolate. Oh, but it could be the fear and curiosity of the unknown and the supernatural. I do believe in the afterlife and in ghosts. I also really like getting scared!Here are some of my

It's cute seeing Jack wind up and play with his new little cat toy as Lulu looks on. He figured out how to do this himself (a real smart cookie) and put on a show. Watch.

I have always been a fan of Craigslist--the things you can find there are amazing! For example, I recently found Gilles Nouailhac chairs for a mere $32 (yes, that's thirty-two dollars)!!!!! Normally, chairs like this cost thousands of dollars each. It just goes to show you that you can find a good deal--without breaking the bank. Another great site to find deals on is eBay. I found my strapless,

I've been absent from the Internet for a while--most notably from my blog (which is a crying shame)--but it's not without reason. Suffering the loss of Libby--and going through all four stages of loss--has been hard on all of us. However, it has been extremely hard on me--considering the fact that I suffer from depression (as many of you know). Libby was my baby--my dog-ter. I loved her so much,

First things first: I am happy to report that I am going to Germany for a couple of weeks. I'll be joining my Mom over there to help sort money matters out and collect things from my Oma's estate. And maybe I'll even be able to fit a trip in or two. I'm looking forward to seeing some of my relatives and family friends, and of course, one of my BFFs--Manuela.Secondly, I found a really cool website

Even though I didn't win the award for best supporting actress in a play, I DID enjoy myself at the awards show and WAS excited to be nominated for the award. I ran into several people I have really missed, and it was great seeing them again.Every cast member from each production did receive a certificate and a pin. I thought that was a really nice touch. The whole awards show was terrific. The

First of all, thank goodness my mother-in-law (M-I-L) is alright!This morning we got a call from my sister-in-law, Lauren, near hysterics, claiming that my M-I-L had fallen and broken her back and is in the emergency room. Of course, Dan and I thought that meant she was paralyzed or near death, so we quickly rushed down to the hospital. Thankfully, we found out that she only has a fractured

Basically, what it comes down to is I can't sing and I can't dance. I sort of had that feeling before auditioning for HAIR, but I pushed it aside and did it anyway. Uh, I should have learned this lesson in NYC when I auditioned for RENT. But noooo.... The lesson is this: know your limitations and stick to what you know. Song and dance just isn't me--as much as I want it to be. So, I'll just stick

So, I'll bet you are all wondering what in the heck has been going on, right?I never thought you'd ask!Since my last update, I chose "the headshot" and got it retouched. Then my agent told me he thought it would be best to get new headshots instead. I don't know how this makes me feel...Then our eldest dog, Libby, had a close call. I swear she had a heart attack--because her heart stopped beating

Aside from the fact that my parents and sister (and her husband and furbabies) weren't here to celebrate it with us, Easter was terrific! We had a wonderful dinner at the in-laws: Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches, potato salad, homemade mac-n-cheese, green bean casserole, and the dessert I made and brought--a recipe called 'Angel Lush'. Everything was absolutely delicious!The furbabies also

Sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy-head--plus itchy throat and eyes, phlegm-mucus mixture--combined with sore muscles and a general feeling of 'ugh' is what I'm dealing with today--and it ain't pretty!Fortunately for everyone else (except my poor, adoring husband), I am sequestered to my bedroom, unable to spread the germs that have attacked me so.The good news is that yesterday's

Dogs have it so easy. A bit of tail wagging, a bark or two, and a cutie pie attitude--that's all you need to get by in life. Oh, and our furkids know that all too well! Check out how cute the pups were today at the local dog bark (and check out Libby and Lulu's matching hoodies!).After the bark, we took them to Arby's for lunch. Mmmmm! And now, naptime.

I can say that I'm truly sad that the play is over. I met a wonderful bunch of people--cast and crew--most of who will be my lifelong friends forever, I'm sure.And, of course, I am sad that Modern Orthodox is over in general. I love acting so much--and this play was terrific and witty--and the part of Rachel suited me so perfectly! I really enjoyed being her and bringing her to life in front of

Did you ever think you've entered the Twilight Zone? Okay, I know I have. Get this: five agents have taken a keen interest in me. Of the nearly 30 franchised agencies I sent to, five of my mailings were undeliverable, and six were interested. Pretty good stats, I think. Maybe being an actor in Florida isn't so bad after all...Now, if I can only book a few commercials through these agents and pay

I'm really enjoying being Rachel in Modern Orthodox. Tonight, I got the biggest laughs, and compliments. I had a wonderful show tonight. And, on top of that, a wonderful week. I got a call from an agent with whom I have an appointment with on the 10th. Wish me luck! I am really excited about the prospect of working with them!

Well, it's been an exciting couple of weeks. I know I'm slow at posting stuff, but only because I've become preoccupied learning lines for a play I'm in--that's right--a play called Modern Orthodox at the Lake Worth Playhouse. I play the role of Rachel Feinberger. Wonderful play, great character. I absolutely adore the play--and the cast, crew, and director. It was the best thing to happen to me

The stress of Christmas shopping is finally over. We finally figured out what to get everyone, and made haste buying the appropriate gifts.After mulling through isles of clothes, racks of stuff, and picking over gadgets and do-dads, we finally found the things we were looking for.By the time I got home, I felt exhausted. But I decided then and there that I needed to wrap it all up--finalize

In the past, my Christmas wishlist included giftcards, clothes, jewelry, and gadgets. This Christmas, all I want is our little doglet Libby to be fully checked out and screened by a good and reputable vet--and--if needed, be able to pay for any necessary operation.Libby has, in the past, had cancer and has been operated on--at least two or three times. While the tumors were successfully removed,

Christmastime is, for me, a reflective and joyous time of the year. Not only is it a celebration of the birth of Christ, but also a celebration of the joy and wonderment of life itself.Following German traditions, I decorate the tree with special ornaments--the ones my Oma made me, straw stars, and Erzgebirge angels adorn each branch. Up until this year, I always had a pine tree. However, since
