Have you or would you let your kids see Rocky: No way!!! Not until they're in their teens.

What I'm doing these days: My hubby, Chris, and I own 2 companies. We have a home remodeling business (which he runs), and we own a travel agency(which I run). Both offices are in our home, we have a big home :), so we have very flexible schedules and are able to spend more time with the kids. I also sell Mary Kay in my spare time. As for travel... we do a lot of that. We go to San Diego to see my family... as most of you know that's where I'm from... about 3 times a year. And we make a habit to go somewhere different every year. Last year we took the kids on the Disney Cruise and spent some time in Florida and this year we're going to Hawaii, FUN FUN FUN!!

People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: I keep in touch with Ilana Goldberg..aka Sami, Trenton Shine, and I've spoken to Bill Balsley a few times over the years. But that will change ASAP since Bill and I realized we are practically neighbors.

Why I first went to Rocky: Sami Goldberg brought me as a guest.

How I started performing: I became one of the "apartment roomies" with Bill Balsley. Since I lived in the "Rocky apartment", I just started to perform.

Food I ordered after the show: I think I always ordered breakfast food....and it was at the Hillcrest Denny's for us.

I last performed: 1991

I last saw Rocky: in 2002 on TV.

Did I buy the Rocky DVD? no

My favorite Rocky memories: When the stage show played at that theatre in Horton Plaza. It was great to be a part of that and meeting the cast members.
