And In Health News

Spoke to my dad today for his Birthday (can you imagine having a Birthday on 6/6/06?) and he told me some great news: two of my step-mother's tumors have shrunk and the third has disappeared! Needless to say, this comes as a great relief. She still has more chemo treatments to endure, so she's not out of the woods, yet. Though, it's certainly better than bad news.

Celebrity sightings: Monday, Rebecce Herbst who plays Elizabeth Webber Spencer on "General Hospital" standing in my apartment building's lobby gabbing on her cell phone (she was waiting for someone, but don't ask me who or why); today, Jeanne Tripplehorn from HBO's "Big Love" and her husband, actor Leland Orser (Dr. Lucien Dubenko on "ER"), at the Farmer's Market, while I was eating dinner; and on my way back to the car, I passed my all-time favorite daytime actress Finola Hughes who plays Anna Devane on "General Hospital" (who was shockingly not very attractive without makeup!).
