exciting but! bittersweet

So I won’t give any specifics ,but on Friday afternoon my agent called to inform me it was btwn me and 3 actresses for a wonderful role in a new film. I had kinda let go of the film, as much as I loved the character and the story, the people involved and the writer/director…the part is sassy and fun and full of life.

That phone call was amazing and so much would change as shooting begins in my hometown actually !!!!!!!!Tuesday…on Saturday my agent called to let me know another actress got it. SHe was someone I was quite familiar with in NY even 20 years ago…we even had been compared to each other in some ways. SO funny.

I’ll let you know details when it’s shot and airing. So suffice it to say…we didn’t go to DIsneyland per se this weekend…but my emotions are still riding the gamut. Overall thankful, humbled and proud to know I was so close to a player in this film..uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

YES THAT WAS ME

OK

I SAW IT TOO. ON A BIG SCREEN IN FRESNO WITH ALL OF TIMS FAMILY. And when we played it in slow, slow motion ..There I was on the 2nd wagon just about to be lifted down by my husband, when they CUT to the next scene, and I”m on the picnic blanket with our broken wagon wheel/chicken deprived family…and the last scene I’m shooing the kids off to play. I”M the redhead..

NOw I see how the editor is the man with the power. Still all in all..it was fun ..and I see in the commercial I’m extremely happy to be there, and working.. And I am.. Thanks for tuning in ..

PS TIM AND HIS 2 NEPHEWS HIKED THE HALF DOME SATURDAY AT YOSEMITE NAT’L PARK TO BRING IN HIS BIRTHDAY.. 20 MILES TOTAL… YEE HA..

Toyota Commercial, 1rst Grade, and Crown swallowing and Upright Cabaret

Yep ..Last night as I was reheating the ribs TIm grilled over the weekend, I snuck a bite of one of TIms..and I thought,”yummy , but kinda chewy” 2 minutes later I noticed my temporary crown was missing.. The permanent one comes next week. It has a habit of coming over my tooth, once before while eating a banana..but how did I chew , swallow and continue cooking without noticing.

So everything comes out in the ‘wash’ so they say.. I’ll get another one tomorrow..Yeeha.

OK onto business

Friday night I’m singing a song at the 8 and 10 o’clock show at Upright Cabaret in LA.

They’ve recently moved to VERMONT restaraunt..so I”m excited cuz that’s my old Los Feliz neighborhood.I probably will sing SInce I Fell For YOu.

2) My Toyota commercial ,where I play a wagon woman/wife in 1892 at a tailgating party, airs SUnday , Sept 20th during the NFL halftime game..I believe NY GIANTS vs Dallas? Anyway it’s the night game on SUnday. It may be in black and white. I’ll be the one jumping off a wagon and carrying a basket.. I’ll write more about my fun time after it airs..

Harrison gets out early on Wednesday so I have to get going. He loves reading his poems the 1rst graders get to read on Fridays at the assembly.

We spent all Sunday at knotts berry farm’s SOAK CITY..he loves the water ..and gymnastics, and me…and tim..

CITY ON FIRE!

HI, HOWARD TUCKER HAD THE GREAT SUGGESTION FOR ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TIM, HARRISON AND I ARE DOING FINE. IT STINKS, THE AIR IS THICK,AND HARRISON HAS TO STAY INSIDE AT SCHOOL .. HE STARTED 1RST GRADE FULL TIME THIS WEEK. THE 1RST DAY HE SAID, HE WAS THE SMARTEST BOY, BUT ALL THE GIRLS WERE STILL SMARTEST. THE NEXT DAY HE SAID IT WAS HARD, AND NO NAP.. LOL

HE IS BEGINNING TO READ AND LOVES GYMNASTICS, BUT NOW MAY START KARATE TOO.

AS FOR MY COMMERCIAL..YEE HA.. I’ WILL DBLE CHECK THE AIRTIME DATE.. THAN LET YOU ALL KNOW. THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE FIREMAN AND HOMELESS ,AND INNOCENT WILDLIFE AND OUR LUNGS. LOVE JEN
