Remembering Dad
So... it was two years ago today that my Dad passed away after having put up on hell of a fight trying to recover from the major injuries he sustained in a car accident. I, personally, can't believe it's been two years. I miss him everyday.
On a somewhat lighter note, here are some hilarious things that remind me of him, and a few funny memories...
It's the things like his early morning squirrel shooting from INSIDE the house (out the kitchen window) that always annoyed me the most in the moment, but make me laugh the hardest now. He had a GEM of a "proud to be an American/I love wolves" themed t-shirt collection, and he was pretty well-known for his use of such classy sayings as "It's slicker than snot on a doorknob!"
There is certainly a lot that could be said of my Dad... the good, the bad, the ugly,... the hilarious. He was quite the character, and there certainly is no one else like him.
Now for a visual of things that remind me of my Dad...

'GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS... The Heart of The Relatively Make Believe'
So I am going to be performing 'AT LARGE!' as part of this great female showcase with the Whitmore Eclectic out here in L.A., and I couldn't be more excited about the idea. Certainly, having the chance to get my show up on its feet again for the first time in ages, is an idea that excites me, but I am also excited to see what the other women have to offer... what their statements will be and how they will convey those statements. There will be four evenings of performance, and each night, the opening act will be different. It's going to be such an exciting thing to be a part of, and I am so honored to be doing this!
Here is a blurb from the event's official description:
“GIRLS, “GIRLS, GIRLS…” Is a hilarious and beautifully touching look at
women and how in or out of sync we are with the our first perceptions of life and of being a “grown up lady”. What that meant to us then and what if feels like today…to be a woman.
All four nights, our headliner…Keri Ann Marcouillier performs her original one woman show, “AT LARGE!”- a show that explores the experience of being a plus size woman in today’s society. Self-image, societal influences, and the ability to explore and laugh at one’s self.
Each night the show opener will be a different female artist sharing her work with us. We truly hope you come out and join us for this exciting and worthwhile creative exhibition…THE CHICKS ARE WILD! In the all the right ways.
December 8, 9, and 10 at 8:00pm

Daylight Savings
Don't forget to turn the clocks back an hour for Daylight Savings Time!
As someone who loves to impersonate Cher... I'd suggest that you all turn back time. Just sayin'...
And... another little (non-Cher) something just for laughs...

L.A. Update
Well... I'm getting a bit more settled in 'round these parts. My friend is a trainer, and a nutritionist, so she has been working with me on making steady, healthy adjustments to my diet and general daily routine. We started circuit training (ouch!), and got me signed up at Bally's for my cardio workouts. I'm just working hard to shift focus from what I don't have, and what I don't like about myself to what I want and how to get there. Just trying to be good to myself- body and mind. It's not an easy adjustment by any means, and certainly lots of emotions have come up in my training, but I need to put the work in now in order to see the results I'm hoping for. Also trying to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race, and that I want to lose weight, but I want to do it in the healthiest way possible, and in a way that will help insure that it will STAY off. So... those are my battles that I'm struggling with/ choosing to fight right now.
What else have I been up to? Well... doing as much work for/with the theatre as I can, and seeing and experiencing as much as possible. Just trying to make the most of my stay here on as many levels as possible.
Last night, we went to Olvera Street, which is the oldest part of downtown Los Angeles. It's beautiful and vibrant with amazing, Mexican vendors and shops. We happened upon the El Dia de Los Muertos celebrations that were going on, and it was such an amazing thing to behold. Family-built alters to honor the memory and lives of those who have passed. Touching and beautiful. Face painting... lots of people with their faces painted like sugar skulls. A parade, a Mexican tribal dance performance, and so much more. It was stunning. We had a superb dinner at La Golondrina. I had the Mole, which was excellent... and a delicious margarita, loaded with lots of freshly squeezed lime juice. It was a beautiful evening. I'll post a few pictures below so you can sort of get a sense of how stunning it was.
