About Eileen

My photo
I'm a very happy woman and extremely grateful to be alive and wake up every day. I've been a Type 1 Diabetic since age 9 and perhaps having this disease almost my whole life has helped me learn to appreciate that it could all be gone in a second. I'm forever grateful for my husband John Prudhont, my beautiful daughter Rene and Johns daughter Kiana, hey are such wonderful young ladies. In addition my little diabetic alert dog Doodles, he's John & my best little hairy friend. You can read about my life here and about what an actress, athlete and diabetic like me loves, hates, buys, returns or just enjoys daily. Enjoy :-)

My husband is the meaning of love to me

I'm so madly deeply in love with my husband John. He fills my heart with happiness every day & I've never known a man even close to being as amazing as he is. I'm sure other women may feel this way about their significant other too, but these are my thoughts about my sweet man.

John always shows me how much he loves me, he does the kindness things for me, says the sweetest words, and gives me the best gifts, whether it's the gift of him or a kiss or a smile, everything he does is a gift to me. I've never known love like this in my life. It feels amazing. I will never be without my husband, I will always be his faithful, loving, caring, devoted bride. I will always keep myself healthy and beautiful for him, I believe that if you truly love your man, you will not only keep yourself healthy & beautiful for yourself, you'll do it for him too. So that's what I always try to do.

I'm his biggest fan. Yep sorry to all the other fans out there. I know I got this hottie & I show my appreciation for him EVERY day. Never taking this man for granted! I'm telling you, what a hunk, so incrediby handsome, not just some of the time, but ALL of the time! such a beautiful sight walking in our front door even after he goes running for 40 miles or more. He looks like he just walked off a fashion show runway. Seriously. I fall in love with him over and over throughout the day every day, so weird because I never stop loving him but I get this giddy feeling of love and happiness and shyness all together every time I look at my husband :-)

John is such an amazing athlete! He is an Ultra Runner as I'm sure you've realized if you've read any of my other posts, or some people know it as "Ultra Marathon". It's anything over 26.2 miles, and for John, that's a tiny training run! He just went running this morning over 35 miles! Yesterday over 23 miles, and daily over 20, 30 and more miles! He will soon get a sponsorship and he deserves it. Besides that he us the "Ultra Running Actor" he is a fantastic PADI Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver, a great hiker, golfer, swimmer, P90X'r, biker, climber....well you get it, he can do it all.

He is a fantastic actor! My husband really is amazing at everything. He has been acting for what seems like forever to me ( I have a lot less experience in acting than John ). He can do comedy, drama, horror, improv, you name it he can do it. Here's a link to his imdb page: http://www.imdb.me/johnprudhont
You'll see when you check out his page, he's done a lot of work. You know what else? Go to the TV department at Costco and his American Express Costco commercial plays over & over throughout the day. I beam with pride every time we are in Costco and see him on the big screens :-) John is my mentor and hero in acting, voice over, and singing too. I am so proud of this man, it's unbelievable.

He's a fantastic daddy. Kiana is Johns daughter, I call her my daughter too although I'm her "step-mom". I hate using that word. Kiana is such a cutie, a wonderful, absolutely beautiful young lady. I believe John has done a superior job of raising her, even when we have her at our home every other week, she gets to have her terrific daddy there. He spends father-daughter time with her & I think that's fantastic too. Lucky girl as even children who live at home with their daddy's all of the time, don't get to have the father son or daughter times or have their daddy pick them up from school or care like John does. Kiana is a very lucky child.

He's great with our doggie Doodles. It's funny because Doodles prefers it when John gives him his insulin shots ( if you didn't know, Doodles is a Type 1 diabetic too :-( ) Doodles is SO excited to see daddy ( John ) when he comes home from a long run. John is caring & loving & wonderful & another reason that he's so easy to love.

So if you see me mentioning my husband a lot throughout my blogs, these are just a few of the reasons. He really is my everything.

Here are just a "few" pictures of us. I don't want to overwhelm anyone, ha ha.

Great day! I signed up my hot hubby for the Leona Divide 50 Mile UltraRace :-)

This was fun beautiful day today, since my husband John and I are Ultra Runners, (but he's a much better Ultra Runner than me) I wanted to surprise him with his entry that I had promised him a couple of weeks ago to the Leona Divide 50 Mile Ultra Race which is being held next weekend on the 28th of April. I wanted to enter him all sneaky (you know like buying Jimmy Choos and sneaking them home and putting them in the closet) I can tell you this, I always get caught.....even after buying a cash debit card so he could not see the charges on our bank account, he still found out and it was so silly because after I signed him up....he got an email with the total fees paid for the race anyway, lol, here's some information on this awesome race: Its being put on by race director Keira Henninger, I've got to tell ya, this lady can seriously put on the kick ass races. She's one of my Ultra running women heroines ( she's actually my ONLY female hero Ultra Runner) :-) why you ask? Because she is super sweet, can run forever, has a great physique and besides being a great mom, she seems to love her man as much as I love mine, and her company has amazingly awesome clothing! And....... someday my dream is to put in the miles like she can. Oh sheesh, back to the Leona Divide info.  There is awesome swag given with your entry to any race Keira is the race director for and the Leona Divide 50 is no different.  The picture above is a preview of the cool tech shirt John will be getting.  The race has some serious elevation gain and will indeed kick butt, here's a view of the gain  and more course info. 

What else is awesome about her races? She has this terrific race wear clothing company called Ink n Burn that has the cutest tech shirts, skirts, tanks and more. See John here wearing the Ink n Burn Griffith Park Trail Half Marathon race tech shirt which was part of the awesome swag that of course without fail race director Keira Henninger was in charge of.
so yep, here is the love of my life ( he had just finished running the Hollywood Half Marathon) and wearing a VIP badge (since we are celebrities, but we don't act like we are) and looks like a model even while other people were passing out! But besides John and his being all handsome like usual, isn't the Ink N Burn tech shirt seriously cool?  I also want to get some of the new sleeves they have along with the peacock running skirt, camisole and matching sleeves and shin skins, the Green Run or Die sleeves, tech shirt and jacket, and the Hollywood Shin Skins. just to name a few....I could go on.  Be sure to have a look.  Here's a link to the gorgeous Peacock Skirt I was talking about!  well just a shopping spree there would be my dream :-) since John and I are provided clothing by companies for us to talk about, brag about and wear proudly, we love to honor them, but I am gladly doing this and bragging and giving an awesome review gratis for Keira and Ink n Burn.  We do the races we are signed up to do, pay for and market and I only have great things to say about Keira and Ink n Burn.  Since John and I are both Ultra Runners, besides being actors we believe we should brag about what we would normally brag about to our closest friends and family.  So what you see me talking about on my blog is for real, not paid to say anything and not given anything free to do so, if anything was given to us as promotion or discounted or paid for I would brag about what I truly believe in anyway (although a free shopping spree at Ink n Burn will always be a dream, hee hee).  So it's time now to go to sleep as my sexy husband John, my very own Ultra Marathon man, will be running throughout the night from midnight until approximately 9am or later.  He is my hero, my life, my love, my happiness and my dream come tru and I will sleep very well.  Goodnight all.

Happy Awesome life

Life is so beautiful :-) I like having a blog a lot more than a diary or even Facebook as I can write it all here, add pictures & let everybody know my thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc :-).

John is working hard with our endurance running & I'm also trying my best to keep up with him & his mileage. Being an Ultra Runner is almost a full time job!

I'll get back to posting shortly as I need to have some long lasting carbs as my blood sugar feels low and I might just ramble on all over the place, ha ha. I'll get back soon
