home edition

I was cleaning and decided to snap some pictures for bloggy world. This is for you Rose, it will be a virtual tour of my house. But minus the virtual tour part. Okay so it will be more like strategic pictures taken at optimal angles to hide all the crap and junk and make me look like an amazing house keeper, cleaner, decorator, what-have you.

It’s basically an optical illusion. As is my entire life.

HI! Come On In!

Chris randomly called me from Home Depot and said there was a really great door on clearance. Apparently the people who bought it measured wrong so it was an odd size. Being the craftsman as he is Chris made it fit our house by adding extravagant molding details around the frame. It’s so fancy. The old owners last name was “Fly” I think. I think of them often. Like way often. Whenever I open the front door I see FLY written on masking tape on the inside trim. I will pull it off one day.

That crazy thing on the door knob is a child lock to keep in grandparents, visitors and babies.

bringing sexy back

oldtime us

I was sifting through stuff a few minutes ago looking for something – although for the life of me I can’t remember what it was… and anyway I found this old 8×10 picture. It was such a long time ago, back when we were like so young and skinny. I wore a size like negative zero. I remember this was our first house party. I was actually wearing bubblegum pink pants.

Who wears bubblegum pink pants? God I was bold. And skinny. And tan. And my hair was perfectly highlighted.

***SIGH***

The good old days. When I had a chin, a waist and time to get my hair did. Now when I have free time I walk in circles around the house picking up random articles of clothing or perpetually Windex things. I do love Windex though – it is so versatile.

I felt sad when I saw this photo though. I used to love getting dressed up and doing my make-up. Now its such a hassle. I don’t even feel like putting on make-up because then I have to open my walk-in closet, and if I open the closet I see all the clothes that I don’t like because they aren’t comfortable. Actually, I just lied. I really hate opening the closet because the girs bum-rush me and start opening all the jewelry box drawers and start applying makeup and asking me to paint their nails and want me to flat iron their hair (ugh, yea my girls. and yea they are 1 and 4.) I’ve created monsters.

So the point is I’ve gotta Whoa-man up. It’s like man-up but I’m a woman. I gotta get my pancake a$$ back in gear. We joined the Y and I am going to start to get active again. Maybe do some spinning or body pump. Something. Anything! Me and Justin are bringing sexy back, together in 2015.

Liiiiiiike, Oh Em Geeee – You just booked another gig?!

Why, Yes. Yes I did.  I can’t believe I just booked another gig. This is 2, in such a short period of time. OH Thank You Acting Gods – shining down you little rays of opportunity, just enough hope to keep me trucking along in a business that makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever.

At any rate, I can’t share the deets of the job but it’s seriously right up my alley. AND it is in NY, how fancy! Best part is it is the exact same day that O just got an appointment with talent agency in NY also! What great luck, stuff like this never works out for me.

This was even a self tape I shot in our brand spanking new home-studio.

It’s a work in progress but now that C is on board it will be so professional and awesome. I’m an artist, I don’t do measurements and critical/strategical thinking mumbo-jumbo. I CREATE. Just kidding. I just get so frustrated so fast when the stupid lights get hot and I have them facing the wrong way and couldn’t get the tripods to stay up right, and I actually blew the breaker a couple times. Ugh. Nightmare city.

This is all my moms gear, we just ordered all our video lighting off Amazon so hopefully it will be here soon. I just did another self-tape and O actually did a self tape too! I will post this up. Well I will post hers up.

2015 people

It’s that time again. Actually it’s seven days past that time – the time where you are supposed to set goals and find your inner hero and reach for the stars, blah blah blah. And since I am notoriously late, like every morning – it’s no surprise I am late to my goal setting.

But better late than never, here is a little inspiration via Dane Cook. He’s so smart.

I sometimes feel very “techy”. I am usually good at uploading, downloading and generally figuring things out technically but sometimes I just want to chuck this computer off the deck and watch it smash into an infinite amount of uselessness. Because right now it is so useless. I know it’s probably user error but I am trying to download this video from Gmail and upload it to my fun new Youtube account and it’s taking umpteen million years to download because it’s so large.

Ugh. I will figure this out but it is making me crazy in the interim. I get so frustrated and then one thing leads to another and it makes me remember I hate winter and wish I could be sitting by the pool right now.

and yes those are my feet.

cards against humanity

Hangin’ with the fam Christmas eve is always fun. We are a pretty candid and sarcastic bunch so the laughs usually keep rolling all night long.

This year we played Cards against Humanity and I pretty much thought I was going to be sore the next day from laughing so hard. I will never be certain who thought of the answers on these cards but they are twisted. And they have a weird obsession with Harry Potter and butt holes. If your family is relatively open and you don’t have any medium age children around this game rocks.

I didn’t have any photos from this evening but here are a pair of clips of C and one of my brothers, striking similarly ridonculous poses.
