MY PARENTS HAD to lend me money a lot when I was working as a waitress in L.A., but my momwho passed away when I was 27made sure to always send a sweet note too. I got the leather donkey one night at Sunset Tower Hotel. I walked in with a friend, and this woman went nuts. She said that she had something specifically for me and ran up to her room to grab it. She returned with this donkey. She thought of me when she first saw it because it was a nugget donkey (a word I used on my talk show to describe small things). Im looking at this girl thinking, This is such a stupid story. But I just welcomed it. You should always try to give people your best mood. The photo in the frame is of my dog, Chunk. Hes half German shepherd and half chow chowso hes half Jewish and half Asian. He loves to travel. That trip was to Whistler, Canada. I hadnt brought him along originally, but the guy renting us the house asked, Wheres Chunk? I follow him on Twitter. And I go, Well, first of all, youre a loser for following a dog on Twitter. But, secondly, I thought you had to quarantine pets here. So I sent for Chunk. The photo beside it is of me [right] with my sisters in Marthas Vineyard. We spent every summer there growing up, and it was the best part of my childhood. Below is a pomegranateits my favorite fruit. I prefer to take giant bites out of it like a gorilla. The fan above is in my office. Im always hot. When I was younger, I had an apartment with no AC, so now I just go wild. I have the tennis ball because I play all the time. It puts me in a good mood, which is important because sometimes it can get very dark. As for the Spanish bookwell, Im learning Spanish! I decided to take a sabbatical, and I wanted to learn a language, travel the world, no strings attached. This was also when I pitched my documentary series, Chelsea Does, to Netflix, NFLX -0.14 % which is out now. I had to be so vulnerable. Im immensely proud of it and myself.
