Feelin' Grrrrreat!

I woke up feeling Grrrrreat this morning. Refreshed, renewed...like *myself* again. The sickness is gone except for the cough.

My car is still in the shop, but I spoke to the mechanic and it turns out the my extended warranty (my car is 6 yrs. old) will cover $964 worth of repairs!! All I have to pay is the $100 deductible, and the cost of putting in a new battery (old one was on its last legs). How blessed am I? Sometimes it all works out, doesn't it? I guess it always works out, one way or another...

I haven't had an audition in 2 weeks, and honestly, I'm glad, because had I booked something during week one I would have had to shoot it while sick, and if I had had an audition during week two, I would have sucked. Again, sometimes it all works out because--I HAVE AN AUDITION FOR "E.R." on Monday, and I am so excited! This week of rest has done me good, because I am rarin' to go. I'm going to work on these two little lines like nobody's business. My goal is ALWAYS to book at least one job a month. This is month 5 and I have 2 bookings for this year, so I'm waaay behind. Actually, I've never hit that goal (12 bookings in a year) yet, but I keep striving for it. It's time.

I always get copies of the commercials I shoot, but I've had trouble chasing the latest two down. Today I finally got in contact with the woman who can get me a copy of the Gain commercial, but she said she can't release it until it airs (because they might make changes) and it won't air for a while, so I should call her in two months. TWO MONTHS? Dang. I'm still trying to track down the other spot - it's regional and will only air in Utah, Washington State, Oregon, and... somewhere else - I forget. So if any of you readers live in one of those states and see the spot, please let a sista know it's running, okay? I would really appreciate it.

Alright, I need to get to bed. Don't want to overdo it, plus I have to meet with my trainer tomorrow. I'm so proud of myself for getting into shape the right way. I eat right (mostly), and though I've only lost 5 lbs. in 6 weeks, I don't care because my clothes are starting to fit differently, my waistline has reappeared, and I can see the difference in overall muscle tone. Plus, I'd rather do it slowly and make changes that will stick than just starve to fit in size 7 jeans, be miserable, then get out of shape again. Day by day.

Okay, nighty-night y'all.

Cool. I love ER. I know it's been on forever and ever, but IMO it's still pretty darned good, one of the better network dramas out there. Hope you ace it.

I watch 2 hours of ER reruns everyday. I would love to watch you in it.

2 hours?? Wow.

For you, I'll do what I can! Promise.
