Red Carpet......ya Baby!

The 48 Hour Film Festival Depute was tonight and yes we walked down the Red Carpet!  We had a great time.  Davaleen's, Mission by Choice was shown first and the audience was nice and cheered for us.  I was impressed with many of the other films.  Some people are really talented and creative.  It was a fun thing to be involved with.

My girls came with us and it was awesome having them.  They are not into getting their picture taken with their mom and her friends though.  (maybe when they get older they will realize the fun of it) hahaha

We went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner first.  Larry had suggested it since Kimleighel has never been there before.  It was a hit....the place that is.  The service wasn't so great and maybe that is because there were a few big groups including ours. (we had 10)  We had to hurry out to get to the theater in time. (had our ice cream to go)

After the films were shown a girl named "Gina" asked us to be in a picture with her.  Gina was from another film which was funny.  She had noticed more detail about our film than was intended. (we hadn't done some of it on purpose)  We thought it strange but cool that of all the people a "Gina" would approach us.....I believe like Dave that our "Gina" was also there.  Before Gina passed away Jodi and I told her that we knew she would still be with us for our adventures.....I believe she was tonight! (of course she was)    It was cool.

(my camera battery was dead and so I borrowed these pictures...I think our eyes make us look like real aliens)                                                                                                June 5, 2013

Urine Town

Girls Night Out....Always Fun!  Tonight we went and saw the Musical~Urine Town.  I liked the music...or at least the beat of the music....it was the kind of music that made me want to dance in my seat.....and I did.  The play was silly and I think it's funny that someone would even come up with an idea like that.  You have to pay to pee....or go to Urine Town which is really your death.  Crazy...but funny in a way.

Regardless of how good the play is the good part is getting out with the ladies.  I enjoy our talks coming and going to the theater and the laughter shared throughout the night!  I'm happy to be included.

Barbie made me feel good when she told her sister that they included me in their group because I was fun and didn't mind getting a little crazy.  I love going to the Plays and these ladies make the experience even better.  I love them ALL!

Happy Birthday Princess

Today Teresa and I celebrated her birthday which is really this Friday.  I wanted to take her out to lunch and so we met at Good Wood and had a yummy chicken lunch.  Teresa is eating "certain" foods and has already lost 6 pounds.  Good job Teresa!

I love this girl!  She's such beautiful person....inside and out!  Teresa noticed an older lady having lunch by herself and decided to secretly buy her lunch for her.  That's the kind of person Teresa is.  She will do anything for anybody and give you the shirt off her back if she thinks you need it worse.  It was awesome to see this happen and I'm going to try to watch for an opportunity like this too.  I know opportunities like this are all around us I just haven't learned to focus on them.  I'm in the process of learning and someday I will notice without thinking about it.

I'm glad Teresa and I became friends.  She's a sweetie and adds so much to my life!  I love her!

Davaleen's Film Festival Movie

There's a reason I didn't go into "acting"........I'm not that good at it and laugh too much!  Today I helped my good friend Davaleen with her movie that she is making for the 48 hour Film Festival.  Last night I spent three hours with her making up the lines and what not because she did have her idea already going.  Man, it takes a lot of time to make a 4 to 7 minute clip.  Like ALL DAY long!

My girls....Trichelle and Kimleighel were kind enough to participate.  When I asked them to help out I thought it would be for a few hours.  We were a few hours before we even started filming.  I won't lie....it frustrated me.  I thought we were ready to go after spending so much time the night before.  My girls got bored......heck......I got bored!

We waited a lot and then we waited some more.  When Davaleen did start filming she started with her friend, Jaymie's parts so that she could leave.  That was at noon and we had left our house at 8:00.  It was taking forever.

When it was our turn we filmed for a little bit and then the battery died.  I felt bad for wasting my girls time and so I sent them home. I figured Kathy and I could get a ride with Davaleen.  It was still after 2:30 before my girls even left.  I really appreciate my girls for "playing" with me and my friends today.  I was really excited for my friends and girls to meet each other.  I'm proud of my girls and talk a lot of my friends so it was cool for me to have them meet.

Once we started filming again it went faster and better than it had started.  I still missed the two weddings I was planning on going to.  Larry ended up going by himself.  When we started filming and I had to do my parts that's when I learned it looked easier than it was. I didn't have many parts but had to do them over a few times. (I had been silently laughing at James for messing up so much)  I bet we have a 1/2 hour of just "bloopers".  (or more)

I felt better about things once my girls had gone....only because I wasn't worried about their time any more.  I am interested to see how this turns out.  I have a "feeling" Davaleen won't win anything on her first film....but we do have hours (like 13) of memories!

Yipee!
