Taking A Little Break
Friday, August 22, 2008 at 12:12AM
I know I haven't written a blog in a very long time. There are a lot of things I haven't done in a very long time, including seeing my family. I've been working so hard and at long last it is time to take a breather. I am headed home to San Francisco in the morning for a week-long vacation.
Tomorrow I will be picked up at the airport by my sister Linzi and we will head to Chuck E. Cheese with our cousins for some quality girl time. After that, we will have a sleep over at my mom's house and hopefully baking cookies and telling ghost stories are both on the agenda. (My sister is 26 and still afraid of Bloody Mary!) I intend to sneak out of the slumber party when the girls go to sleep so that I can have a beer with my dad. Or as he calls it, "a brewski." On Saturday, my mom will come home from her vacation and she and I will sit in the living room and drink copious amounts of her drink of choice: chardonnay. On Sunday, my family and friends are heading to Napa for my birthday party.
I don't know why I am disclosing this amount of detail but I suppose it is because I am so excited about seeing my family, heading home to Northern California, and taking a rest from breaking news. I have finally began to adjust to New York City and I am really pleased with the direction my career has been taking lately. In fact, I recently updated my demo reel and it helped me to see how far I've come since I was that scared new girl in town waiting impatiently for her furniture back in January. Nevertheless, life is not only work and it is time for me to let go for a week. I'm going to try REALLY hard not to send in stories to be included in Loaded or obsess about email or any other CBS-related communication. I am going to do my best to unplug. We'll see how that goes.
I'll be back in time for a Saturday segment on the Early Show during Labor Day Weekend. When I'm back in the swing of things, I'll try to update this blog a bit more frequently. I think Twitter has taken the momentum out of blogging. Anyway, happy Labor Day, dear reader. It has been fun knowing you in my 20s. See you on the other side!

Hi Natali, just wanted to say I really admire your relationship with your family. I have 2 daughters (11 and 14), and hope when they are 30 they will look forward to having a brewski with their dad.
I really enjoy my daily dose of Loaded, keep up the great work!
