My thoughts and prayers are with Andy’s family. This is such a sad and tragic loss.
A reminder to me, how precious each day is.

Today is game 3 of the World Series and I wanted to give some love to the SF Giants who are killing it so far, winning the series 2-0. It’s been awesome watching them fight their way to the top and they seem to be getting better and better with each game.

My friends in Santa Cruz sent a photo of pumpkins they carved last night and I thought it was hilarious! You can see the fear in the Texas pumpkin- FEAR THE BEARD!!!!

I’ll be doing a post next week about my time here in London. I just got back from the 49ers pep rally in Trafalgar Square…..and hanging with Jerry Rice! This was a bucket list moment for me;) He is so cool and one of the reasons I fell in love with football and the 49ers.

Even though the 49ers don’t have the best record right now, I still have unconditional love for them. What kind of fan would I be if I didn’t support them through it all?

Much love,

Tonight I am honored to be participating in the Night of Too Many Stars an Overbooked Concert for Autism Education. The telethon features many talented guests from host Jon Stewart, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Conan O’Brien to Steve Carell, Tina Fey and Betty White – just to name a few;)

Autism is a neurological disorder that affects 1.5 million people in America. Since 2005, the event has raised close to $7 million dollars to help benefit a variety of autism education and family service programs across the country, in support of those in desperate need quality services. This year, funds raised will continue to support these programs as well as the new Institute for Brain Development, an all-inclusive diagnosis and treatment center for Autism research into causes and treatment!

Tune into Comedy Central tonight at 9pm ET / 6pm PT for the LIVE 2 1/2 hour event to make a donation and watch live performances and sketches. Your donation means a lot to me!
