Well the California Dreamin is over for now, we are back in the swing of things in good old Boulder City. School started two days ago and the vacation ended a week ago. It was nice to escape the Vegas heat and I did sneak off to Mickey's place for a day (one day is CLEARLY not enough time to hang at the Magic Kindom). Even though I could have spent a week there, my marriage would never have survived, you see my hubby has a bad taste for Disneyland. He says its my fault, that I've burned him out on it. I say its because he doesn't have that twinkle in his eye, that Disney Magic in his blood. Well at least the monkeys do. He does have some great pool boy skills though. Wink wink! Well the dreamy do nothing vacation came to an end and the real world has set in. Problem with dreamy is it gets boring and you have nothing to blog about except dreaminess. Eh! I've been back a week, so there's plenty of crap to report, but I'll start here... Good to be back at ...
That's right Sponge Bob, you're not the only one! At some point today at my daughter's Cobra Kid Award assembly I quite possibly may have ripped the seat of my cargo capris. Question is when exactly. See all the parents sit in the back of the multi purpose room (what happened to separate gyms, cafeterias and auditoriums?) When your kid's class is called, that's your Que to get your camera ready because your child is about to receive the coveted Cobra Kid Award. Get your butt up out of your chair and get close (especially if you don't have a super powered lens on your camera, cuz your lucky if you will even be able to catch a decent Kodak moment in the lighting provided by elementary schools). So did it happen before or after I stood up to take pictures of Mr. Newkirk's 4th grade class with my back (and behind) to the gamut of proud parents? Or did it happen at Costco? One can only hope not to see a mother of two arching her back while pushing a heavy laden...
This is so my world. I get this all the time... please watch.. "You'll be on set for 12 hours but really you'll just be powdering and not using much makeup. Can you give me a 50% discount since you'll only be powdering for 12 hours?" (12 hours is 12 hours, I don't care how much freakin makeup I use!) "Were doing this really fun shoot that I think you would really love to be a part of. We can't pay you but it will be really fun." (Because WORK IS FUN no matter how much you get paid???) "You know I have alot of work coming in the future that you could be a part of, if you'll just work for nothing this time, we can totally make it up to you later, because this fab job is going to lead to so much more." (Run! I worked for this guy once, never saw him again. What happened to his bright gig filled future?) "We'd be happy to pay your kit fee and feed you a lunch, but we've only budgeted for about 10% of your day rate....
